Defending the Bully

 I’ll go further: Bullying isn’t all bad.

For all those who are responding in outrage that “I just don’t get it”, that they/they’re child has suffered horribly at the fists and jibes of bullies who destroyed their lives with punches and lies. Bullying is bad. Every insensitive word is not bullying, and every child who utters an insult is not a criminal who belongs on the bullying registry.In the interest of full disclosure, I was bullied as a kid. Coming from different areas other than rural Idaho will do that. I was a “New Kid” and rather on the delicate side. I hadn’t grown up in the area so I had no friends and no time to really make any before school started. I was not one of the big, corn-fed farm kids nor was I part of the local indian tribe. So I instantly became the target for the bully set. It was a state of existence that might have continued for the rest of my school daze had I not got some good advice early and set it in my mind I would not be a victim of the bully. If I had not been bullied would my childhood have been easier? Probably. But I would have lost some vital life lessons about not just surviving but thriving. Evolution at its finest. I gained a clear eyed focus as an adult, an understanding of the reality of the world and the ability to wipe away the stigmatism of the politically correct to see truth,and I owe all this clarity to the bully…

Forty-seven US states have passed “anti-bullying” laws, hell-bent on saving our children from “hurt feelings” and getting scraped up. At the core these laws goal is the compassion for protecting our children. New Jersey’s new “Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights” is likely the most extreme. New Jersey has managed to find a way to criminalize every child. Kids say mean things sometimes. But protecting our children from bullies also prevents our children from ever learning the true value of bullies—and (more importantly) how to deal with bullies. That’s the best lesson for the opposition of the aggressive use of force. Bullying is a valuable part of life. By making “hurt feelings” the dividing line between acceptable and criminal behavior, we turn every child into a victim and every child into a perpetrator. Bullying is an important part of growing up, whether we like it or not. As adults we deal with bullies on the global scale. There are nearly seven billion other people on this rock hurtling through space and there are more than just a few bullies. A good amount of them have positions of power and are protected heavily-armed bullies intent on dominating the weak and destroying our way of life.
Neville Chamberlain did not understand what bullies really were. Chamberlain believed you could appease the bully personified by Adolph Hitler. His capitulation to the bullies demands merely increased the thirst for more and more power. The cost of Chamberlain’s spinelessness was millions of innocent people paying with there lives.Those lives could have been saved, millions of Jews would still be alive, if men like Churchill had been there to oppose Hitler’s rise. Bullies only respect those that will oppose them. They deal in the currency of force. They don’t understand negotiation or bartering. Their currency is the initiation of force. They hold all the cards in the game of intimidation. Because their currency is force. Mealy-mouthed wishful thinkers like Chamberlain are seen as weak wrist-ed targets and they become the victim to the bully. Neville Chamberlain was out of his depth. He was a politician of a privileged class and was protected his entire life.
 Winston Churchill understood bullies.
Egypt embraced the anti Jew, Muslim Brotherhood. China is now calling for “China to abandon modesty about its global goals and ‘sprint to become world number one….the top power.’” Turkey went from relatively moderate friend of America and Israel, to a belligerent bully that launches flotillas and expels ambassadors. Lebanon has been usurped by Hezbollah. Yemen is under the control of AL Qaeda bullies. Libyan rebels are rounding up blacks and calling for shariah law. The Palestinian Authority has joined forces with terrorists of Hamas, and shouting “Tell Obama that we are a people that doesn’t bow to anyone.” This is not a defense of conduct that physically harms children. Nor is this a defense of harassment. This is a call to toughen up to mean words.
Take the gangly Jewish kid who got beaten up when he lived in an all-black neighborhood (and later, an all-white one) and grew up to be Howard Stern, the multi-millionaire with a blonde ex model for a wife and army of rabid fans. thats how he became a celebraty and not some eccentric New York taxi driver without being literally pushed and punched into excellence!How did my bullying story end? After trying the teachers method of avoidance and hiding behind her power, I took some advice from my dad and changed tactics. I stood my ground, and we fought. I lost…he won. He was bloodied and bruised and I had got the worst of it. It happened a few more times too, but every time I made him pay with his own blood and bruises. I never really triumphed over him physically but I broke him mentally. He eventually decided there were easier targets that cost him less effort. I would fight a few more times through my school career , I won some , I lost some, but I was always the “hard target”. But there was never another encounter with the same bully twice. Because I spoke the language that the bullies understood these encounters became brief and much more infrequent. The language of the bully. The language of applied force.  There's a crude, old-fashioned message: if he hits you...hit him back. Alas, kids who do that today will get suspended from school, but, that is how you deal with bullies.This is a defense of children. All of them. They’re all bullies at one time or another. And they’re all victims. But they are not all criminals.
