You personally want to do that? Go for it. You don't mind if I take it down or put my own do you?
The right is bring the fascism tonight. Gotta keep those parades running on time.
A shout down would have been a welcome alternative to the real assault that actually happened. A faction of you don't know what freedom riders were and don't know what happened at Selma. I'm not sure you all are qualified to judge these students, who ironically were attempting to draw attention to this very ignorance. Learn some history, then learn some law, then figure out the difference between demonstrating and assault. Some of you have gotten a little soft and your visions of freedom are looking a little chinchy.
Keep reading. Let me know when you get to the part where they would break local laws to demonstrate the injustice of the system. Then read what the locals did, I think you'll enjoy their response.
Dude, you must be drunk. First I'm not avoiding Selma, you don't know enough about it if you think a protest from rednecks would have been a problem. Second, that's the opposite of what I wrote about the nativity. You're not enlightened, but you could fix that when you sober up.There it is. We the rag-proletariat don't know enough compared to the enlightened ones!
Natural doesn't want to discuss Selma.
This is where the grain separates from the chaff. A REAL advocate of freedom will recognize what it is and when it is being denied. Right, left, all that stuff is a bunch of moronic hatred between two sides that couldn't get along if you plucked their claws, teeth and put blindfolds on them. They would find someway to fight.
I mentioned the nativity scene and the immediate "No way!" response shows there is no room for tolerance. I wonder if six or seven large Christians stood in front of a bakery and denied entrance unless they were shoved out of the way would meet with natural's approval? Hey, they don't work for the bakery, just guys standing in front of it...and they only happen to keep certain folks out!
It's unfortunate...but we need laws (and I hate laws) more and more as people lose interest in getting along with each other. The right get's it....they hate certain people. The left, pretends they don't. But actions speak louder than words.
Someone did stop it and not with shouting. That's the whole point. You don't know what you are talking about. The Missouri kids didn't stop anything. They marched just like the Selma folks. The Selma marchers impeded cars for days. You are arguing they should have been arrested for destroying liberty. You are completely backwards on this issue and its becoming my suspicion its because of a lack of basic education on how freedom and justice was won in the past.
Yes, we know how much you enjoyed that the first time.
You have expressed what you value. Order is clearly a higher value for many here.
You made a simple wrong point. The first Selma march was in the street. Traffic was impeded. The state came in and beat the marcher in an event known as Bloody Sunday. The next Selma march was also in the street and impeded traffic and was blocked by just the sort of redneck protesters you mentioned who even killed a protester. The third Selma march was in the street and impeded traffic for days. This time it was protected by the US military and made the trip over 4 days, all of which stopped traffic. Stopping traffic is not some bright line that makes an action wrong. You and your allies in these threads are arguing against Selma.
More of the first amendment, freedom to speak and protest and agitate and practice civil disobedience and petition. You know, basic liberty.
