[Hoot Gibson]

⬆ Thank you for your brief remarks, puddle sifter. Once again, peaceful protest of the powerful IS quintessentially American. In fact, I'm not sure throwing tea in the harbor is peaceful protest. I guess it sort of damaged the goods of the ol' King. However, the idea of civil disobedience and peaceful protest (Thoreau, Ghandi, King) against the injustice of the powerful and the oppressor is thoroughly American, and no amount of puddle sifting and snivelling changes that.

There is nothing quintessentially American about protesting and interfering with a speaker who was invited to speak by a religious organization on private property.

If you want to discuss an example of intolerance and government's infringement of free speech, you need look no further than Cal Berkeley's discriminatory treatment of Ann Coulter. Unlike Notre Dame, Berkeley is a government owned school. There is no limit to liberal hypocrisy.
