Jorj, Admit that you advocate using criminal behavior to further whatever cause it is that you are supporting at the moment. What you are talking about is using force and intimidation to further your cause. This is a key difference between you (and your progressive friends) and me (and my tea party/libertarian friends). We only believe in force to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

You have never heard me advocate violence. What I term protest for our causes you term criminal behavior. Just as Tea Party members have been showed on this site having guns slung over their shoulders to me is just as intimidating as protest of the opposition. Like I stated it will be interesting to see when the various side meet us against each other especially when some lose their rights to the protections of healthcare which they currently have, and other social programs which may be taken away. Then, the truth will be in the pudding. I perceive as the individuals become unemployed, perhaps living on the streets as homeless without food, shelter or clothing, then we will have big problems in the US. Even in the community which I live we have individuals beginning to live under the bridges, in cars, drug use is increasing, etc.

All of us agree that we have an economic problem. Greed and fear of loss of basic needs are huge emotions which will be used during the next election to win votes. Hopefully, both parties, Republicans and Democrat's can come together and agree with a negotiation settlement after the Super Committee reports. Otherwise, the worse emotions of humans emerge, IMO. Those emotions are survival.
