I'd rather take a verbal "**** off" in the face, than a knife in my
back Right-Wing-Stein style..

But you won't get a "**** off" from a right-winger. There are two reasons
why this won't happen:

1. We don't often use profanity, and
2. As you correctly point out, we have no inhibition against killing our
enemies.

When Saul told David to bring back the foreskins of a hundred Phillistines
as a bride-price, David got all excited and started figuring how many men he
would need to subdue each Phillistine (because he wasn't counting on
voluntary compliance) and how long it would take, considering he would have
to sharpen his knife between events, and so on, Saul's emissary got all
exasperated: "David, David," he said, "You don't understand! Saul want you
to KILL the Phillistines, not CONVERT them! Saul doesn't care if you bring
back the whole prick!"

We have ways of detecting modern-day Phillistines: Usually it involves the
spontaneous declaration of "**** off."
