They'll get the little bitch now!
"What's got them so riled up this time?" you ask.
Is it her ability to understand and explain economics?
Is it her dogged defense of gun rights?
NO!
She's not cheering the war loud enough.

5. I won't celebrate an act of war no matter how legitimate but I wil celebrate protecting innocents.

Commence pile-on!

12. Too much nuance?

18. Nope.
Too much sanctimony.

27. I said the war was justified and I could celebrate the protection of innocents. What is it about war
that should be celebrated?

68. A review of my posting history will show
that I am an unapologetic advocate of the right to keep and bear arms. I believe people have the right to defend themselves.
But I do not celebrate the taking of human life, even the lives of rapists, stalkers, killers, thieves, etc. I would prefer each person live their life to the fullest without preying upon others. I understand that many choose to prey upon others. I also admit those who would live their lives without preying others have every right to defend themselves. I find it regrettable when matters are forced to violence.
I also believe these views are not in conflict with each other.

29. Sometimes, an act of war is required to protect innocents,
as in this story. I'm sure the people who were about to die celebrated the action.
Since you were not threatened, you can voice your reservations. Lucky you...
You guys remember MealyMouth's stalwart support during the war against Al Qaeda in Iraq, don't you?
You remember how he looked at the enemy who was constantly slaughtering innocents and cheered for the US to overcome those bastards and how he never took a sanctimonious stance against the war because he was safe here in the states.
No?
huh
I wonder what's different?

33. I admit war may be necessary, without argument, but war is not to be celebrated.

34. I saw nobody celebrating war. I saw people celebrating
an action that saved innocent lives. Did you see a celebration of war?
Yes.
All over the thread we see posts such as...

118. Personally I'm a ding dong the witch is dead kinda gal. nt
It could be me but that seems like it's celebrating war.

36. I made no claims about others. I speak only for myself. Did you see where I said I
could celebrate the protection of innocents?

40. That sniper shot was an act of war.
That is what you said in your initial post. You said that you could not celebrate acts of war. Since then, you have tried to generalize your statement to be against celebrating "war" in general.
You are being inconsistent, I think. People here were celebrating a particular act of war that saved innocent lives. There was no celebration of war itself. You have changed your argument in midstream.

42. I said 3 things in my post --
1. I won't celebrate an act of war
2. the war was justified
3. I will celebrate the protection of innocents.
You guys just want to pick a fight.

71. I've read this whole subthread. Since the act of war is identical to the act that
protected the innocents, you are not allowed to hold a complex thought or have mixed feelings or make any sort of (as you said) nuanced point. You have made a prima facie contradictory point and must be summarily ridiculed, patronized and dismissed. The spirit of your point has no value, because rah rah bad guys dead, good guys saved.
DU.

82. Well, if -- Heaven forbid -- Trump is elected I can't help but wonder
if suddenly they'll all be standing on my side of the tent (or worse, calling it a war crime).
Ya think!?!
You fellow Proglodytes weren't this pro-war the day after 9/11/2001.
It goes on like that.
