No, I'm referring to a group of students from CU in several public meetings with Senator Allard in Metro Denver(R). I'm talking about the same thing with some Co. College students in with Senator Campbell(R) in Colorado Springs. The 1st meeting here in North Metro Denver, when the discussion turned to the impeachment of Clinton they all started chanting "It's all About Sex" & clapping in unison & slapping the chairs & kept it up for 10 minutes the first time & 15 minutesthe 2nd time. The 2nd meeting here in North metro Denver, when the discussion turned to Gun Control the same students from CU broke up the meeting with chants of "Kill the killers - No More Guns" again with the clapping & they had to be asked to leave. When it turned to endangered species protection another group again broke up the meeting & it closed with no one getting getting heard but them. The 3rd public meeting with the Senator in Boulder was disrupted when it turned to concerns over wilderness areas. The police here in my burb told me the same students have disrupted every meeting with the Senator for over a year - & several of them aren't even residents of this state & one isn't even a citizen of the US!!!! In the Springs, I was there after a business meeting & when the public meeting turned to hunting issues the same chanting & disruption. I'm really sick of it! These stupid ill- mannered liberal little pricks are talking away my freedom of speech with their antics!

Well, I think Netanyahu gets a bad rap... His brother commanded the Entebbe raid, during which Israeli hostages were held by terrorists of Arafat's PLO. His brother also was the only military casualty. He has a deepseated distrust of Arafat, as well he should have.... But he also knows how to deal with him from a position of strength, which is required when dealing with the Arab political mindset. If you show weakness, they will continue to attempt to break down your will and make even greater demands. Next time any of you feel like the Palestinians deserve their own homeland on the west bank, ask yourselves who invaded and conquered that territory in 1948, when it was known as the Palestinian Partition.... And then ask yourself what the national language of the Palestinians is. Not that I hate Palestinians, mind you... I'm not Jewish.. I just believe in calling a spade a spade... And I certainly have some serious heartburn about any people who can slap a bunch of rocks or molotov cocktails in their children's hands and sacrifice in the name of "martyrdom".
