LOL! The "peace protesters have freedom to protest but those of us who want to protest the vacuous empty headed rhetoric and fantasies of the "peace protesters" are supposed to hold our tongue in the name of free speech........

I will reply with the same kind of party spirit that your post has. <<America is built upon freedoms. Freedom is in fact the cornerstone of America philosophy.Therefore, that which strives to remove this freedom is by definition un-American. So, it must be un American of the right to try to deny the right of the left to dissent. <<The philosophy of the left has become "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." -Karl Marx>> This is the same kind of small minded definition as saying that all right wing people are KKK. It's shallow thinking and incorrect. <<All have the freedom to work, but not all do so equally. The money of those who work hard is forcefully taken to provide for those who don't.>> In what way? Only 18% of the national budget goes for what are called social programs. More rhetorical than real... <<They preach tolerance for freedom of speech but do not exercise that same tolerance for other views.>> You're talking about the right here, right? <<The 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms. The left is unabashed in trying to strip this freedom away.>> I'm in favor of the 2nd ammendment. Must make me non-left. <<The left distorts the Constitutional inability of the government to set up a religion, and instead seeks to remove all religion from those who live in the state.>> I dont feel anyone trying to remove my religion. You overstate your case. <<These are but just a few points. By them I would say it is an accurate statement that those who subscribe to this new Left philosophy exhibit un-Americanism.>> You have failed to make your case.
