So you believe that America-hating anarchists and communists have a civil right to smash windows and burn cars while wearing masks?

They have a right to demonstrate as long as they commit no crimes. It doesn't get any simpler than that. The government should take care of business. If you feel differently, should they also be investigating all members of the NRA because some people would approve of that behavior?

"The government should take care of business."

They are.

I thought you would also appreciate the hilarious parody at #149. After another 9-11 or a WMD attack, we're going to track down the "domestic enemies" among us who have been providing our wartime enemies aid and comfort, and then we're going to start HANGING TRAITORS. And it's so nice that computers leave such nice records. All those nice digital pictures, and addresses. They're going to come in real handy.

Exactly. If these protestors did nothing more than make signs and shout slogans, I would be seriously opposed to the FBI tracking their activities. The government should not be investigating people for exercising their constitutional rights.

The groups involved in these protests, however, may be involved in illegal activites. It's a fine line.
