Political hay making or Christian love? Which do I choose when deciding how to treat the enemy?

Since it is now clear that Barrack Hussein Obama and his minions are the enemy, it
can safely be said that those who support them, or fight against those who
hinder their destructive course, are also the enemy.
The enemy is all around me. We might outnumber the enemy, me
and my neighbors, but identification is a problem, since the enemy is often
well identified by the Obama/Biden bumper stickers, but many choose not to
bumper sticker their car, like myself.
Another identification issue is that it is very clear that
loud and obnoxious people are more easily identifiable than the more dignified and
subtle. And since The Left is certainly way more Hillaryesque than Reaganesque,
The Left carries a more concentrated if not broader manifestation; especially
with the overwhelming presence of the Leftist press.
But, I want to make a difference, and furthermore, I hate
the smug attitude that exudes from those touting the elitist carriage of
destruction that they perceive as being, “The right thing to do” in their
politically IN-correct little universe. Smacking that glib, cigarette besmirched
grin off their face would feel so good for several seconds.
So, what is one to do? How do I treat these usually
completely oblivious communists who support the destruction of all that I hold
dear, while I’m ordering coffee, making change, passing them on a highway,
washing the car, vacationing, taking my glass/paper/plastic to the recycle
center or dropping the kids off at school?
My answer should not be taken as if the delivery of this
information is coming by way of one who has arrived. I am often so angry at
things that I hear coming from parts Left, when listening to The News on my truck
radio, right as I have a slow moving Saab pull out in front of me as they toss
their smoking butt out the window, that I wish for a set of extra heavy duty
State Police push bars welded to the front of my truck for tactical use in
cases such as this.
However, the answer can be found in Proverbs
25, verses 21 and 22.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
Now, there are a few different opinions of what God means by
“…heap coals of fire upon his head…”. But it doesn’t sound like a pleasant
thing to me. So, if it gets me rewards from God, and at the same time visits
hot coals on their heads by simply being civil and kind, then I’m all for it.
It beats the dull feeling I get by exacting immediate revenge upon them, and
then worrying about where my car is parked all night and if there will still be
air left in the tires the next morning.
Because, there is something we’ve all learned about The
Left. Left to themselves, they are evil and vindictive. They slash tires, rip
off Bush bumper stickers, break windows, spit on people (and worse) and look
for opportunities to destroy property and cost as much hard earned money as
possible for those who do not agree with their tolerant and elite way of life.
Case in point (which is actually thousands of cases in point, which is all we
need here); the Occupy crowd.
Compare Tea Party events to Occupy events. This is a great
sociological study opportunity between two diametrically opposed cultures.
After Righty Tea Party events, grounds, buildings, and facilities are left in
better condition. On the other hand, after Lefty Occupy events, thousands of
dollars in damage is left behind as trash and damaged property must be dealt
with by private and public ownership. Our Community Organizer in Chief really
bit the big one on that go around. Great opportunity for the press to point out
some very news worthy contrasts. Those Occupy days were made for journalistic
reporting high on the visual scale, regardless of the press touting the
non-news-worthiness of it all.
Kindness released where kindness is unlooked for delivers
twice the punch of just regular old kindness. It also lowers the blood pressure
of the kinder person, regardless of what it does to the kindee. So, I vote for
kindness in the face of hate when dealing with Liberals, Statists, Communists,
Occupiers, Democrats and all other haters of the American way and the rule of
law.
The next time someone tears your conservative bumper sticker
from off your vehicle, just cowboy up, grab a black grease pencil and draw a
big ole smiley face where the partially torn sticker is still adhered. The next
time the tearer sees and recognizes your bumper, who knows what positively
pleasant destruction you’ll be delivering? And, nobody bites anybody.
