If you sit down to play a game of chess and your opponent punches you in the face, you're not going to prevail by getting better at chess.

@matt_e_cochran Yes, that's why we should pray and seek the Lord and follow Him, rather than playing political chess (or trying to punch, either).

@trbutler The flag in your bio says you don't think politics or punching necessarily contradicts prayer or seeking/following the Lord.

@matt_e_cochran Obviously Caesar should wield the sword to punish this sort of wickedness, and we individually should defend ourselves and our own with a good conscience. But what, *exactly*, are you saying we right wingers should be doing differently now that we’re no longer playing chess?

@cjneuendorf Knowing that you're not asking in good faith makes me disinclined to answer you.

@matt_e_cochran This needs to be shown to every Republican immediately. Everyone must be made to read this over and over until they understand.

@matt_e_cochran "You can't stop playing chess! Then you're no better than him! Sit back down, so you can get punched again!" Yeah. This isn't 2017 anymore. We're not going to sit back and do nothing while radicalized Democrats go around asking what baseball field has the Republicans on it.

@matt_e_cochran We already beat them in the game of ideas. They've been losing that for a decade now. They've moved on to a different game. And we need to be better at that than them too.

@matt_e_cochran But, if you also happen to be skilled at punching -- your proper response to aggression will ensure unlimited time to ponder your next chess move unmolested.

@matt_e_cochran Sadly true… I’m still trying to process everything. Especially the number of people posting their joy…
