Personally, I think the security guard's response about this not being America anymore was sardonic, and not meant to be taken seriously. Kind of along the lines of "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer...." Or, "yes, ma'am. I should be out catching murderers, instead of writing you a ticket. But this is safer and more fun."

If it is acceptable to you for another’s freedom of speech to be stifled, then that includes your own freedom of speech. If the minority opinion, the unpopular opinion does not have the exact same guarantee of free expression then your opinion will eventually be forbidden as well. You’re only enjoying being in the majority opinion for the time being. The tyranny of the majority tends to increasingly demand conformity. Sooner or later you will have an opinion in the minority, the vote won’t go your way and you will be gagged.

Troy that might be a bit of a reach, college campus's have seen thier share of posters, from both right and left sides ,to be fair would you not agree? But to say this is not Americia for what ever reason is .... well down right unamerican.

I wouldn't say that; being a smart-ass when people get in your face is about as American as it gets.

And I didn't really like the self-righteous jerk who was confronting him, anyway. Carrying a poster that calls Obama's health-care plan 'the Final Solution' (i.e., equivalent to Hitler's death camps where 11 million people died) into a political rally may or may not be protected free speech, but it's pretty lowdown. I don't think the guy was merely exercising his right to an opinion; I think he was spoiling for a confrontation he could exploit for publicity.

And posters of bush with a Hitler moustash(sp) did the campus cops act the same?

They used to throw people out of Bush's town hall meetings just for wearing Democratic tee shirts, or having anti-war bumper stickers on their cars.

I didn't agree with that either, nor do I like press conf. with softball questions, or 10 to13 questions and an hour to answer them, I think as this Admin. goes forth the questions can,will and should get toughter. I also think Macain had someone tossed at one of his meetings.awhile back

I've noted here lately from video's posted here that when a person is haveing a problem with the law and they go to bring up the Constitution it seems to have a possitive effect for them.
Like in this video the security guard seemed to back off when the Constitution was throw in his face.

Thats Good don't you think ???

waterdog · 08-31-2009, 11:47 PM

thats what it's intent is to protect the weak from the powerful, poor from the rich, the minority from the majority and yes us from the goverment.

I am starting to notice a pattern here. When there is proof, but lack of tons and tons and tons of proof, you point that out and say there is no proof. When the proof IS right there in your face, you dismiss it as "not being serious"

I think I am starting to understand the liberal mind.....just a little bit anyway, maybe .0001%

The guard was an Obamalama supporter. It was obvious. Why else did he not go after the pro-Obamalama supporters and their signs? Just because of a picture? Yea, ok, hmmm. Stupid question, stupid answer, nah, just a stupid security guard not wanting any opposition to his savior.

Here in Ky they have groomed every person attending the Yarmuth town hall meeting tommorrow. Seems funny that all the big union leaders will have front row seats. I was called and asked if I could attend because Im a union worker. When they asked if I was a registerd democrat I told them no. After a slight pause I was told that seats have allready been filled and "click". So, dont point fingers without knowing the truth to both sides.

Haven't heard much about ACORN for a while, except from the people who keep dragging them up to use as a bogeyman....when's the last time they disrupted anyone's town hall meeting?

You aren't the first person who ever saw something that wasn't there. It's called projection; you see what you want or expect to see. Like taking a Rorschach inkblot test....

Just got another email from the Big unions here in Ky. Since they have legal issues about posting/reposting any of their info on the web I can make this short and sweet: They want all available members to show up at least 4 hours early to squeeze out the oppositon. Signs will be made and will be handed out to all members who attend. Id say at least 80% of my union bros. and sisters will not be attending (only the lemmings) because god seem to give the majority of our membership common sense.

What are they telling them to show up for? And what is the purpose of 'squeezing out the opposition?' Am I right in assuming you're talking about some sort of 'town hall meeting?'

It seems to me the original purpose of so-called town hall meetings was to share information, and allow a politician to interact with constituents on a personal basis to get a feel for what they want.

If they're turning into nothing but glorified political rallies on the one hand, or on the other hand just becoming an excuse for opponents to noisily dump on a politician instead of listening to him, I'd say they're no longer useful.
