...This is,,, a sensitive issue. The administration is not above criticism, but, there is a time and place to disagree and debate about policy. We are at war. And until it is over, we must be civil, and united as a nation...
If he only did it once it would be utterly intolerable.
What a large pile of conjecture! Your attempt at making another batch of Protestor Stone Soup is thin gruel, freeeee.
Why don't you address armymarinedad's first-hand observation, instead of injecting your "guesses" or "ifs"?
Because you can't.
One thing I have to say about you paid disrupters, you all punch that time clock on schedule. I've always wondered why so many Bush-bashers seem to only post during business hours. Then it hit me, it is your business.
Note to Soros: George, I know you have a lot of money but is this guy cost effective?
Oliver "Burkeman1" Twist to John Nichols: "Please, sir, may I have another?"
You are absolutely right. Their outrageous conduct over the past month has only strengthened my resolve and I've pledged to redouble my efforts. The left is blinded by their hatred, they care not what they destroy in the process just as long as they destroy this president. Our national security and sovereignty matters not and that makes them exactly the same as any other filthy terrorists.
{Oh please don't my wife read that response...please.)
Have you all forgotten Bubba and his entourage?
I live in NY and everytime they came to town for whatever reason he tied up traffic and inconvenienced hundreds of thousands of people for hours.
In the end, he got his comeuppance. The fancy offices he wanted in midtown wouldn't rent to him and he was forced to go to Harlem.
This happens with every President. What a bunch of crap.
FOFLOL.
I'M SORRY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE OFFICES OF HUEY, LUEY AND DUEY HAVE CLOSED UNTIL MONDAY. IF YOU WOULD CARE TO COME BACK DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS, FREEEEEEEEEEE WILL BE HAPPEN TO ATTACK THE PRESIDENT FOR YOU.
REMEMBER, AT THE SOROS FOUNDATION, UNDERMINING THE PRESIDENT IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT JOB. SEE "DU" FOR OUR HOURS OF OPERATION.
and while at war, what else should we give up? if they asked you to delay the election because of war would you?if they asked you to turn in your guns because of war would you? if they asked you to take your freedom of speech and withhold it ..only for a while.. would you?
i guess that question is already answered. the bigger picture or should i say the longer picture is, if we allow even these little things to start eroding our rights, the slope becomes very steep and hard to stop the slide. imagine sometime in the future near or far if another party is in power. the things we write about here might be considered illegal protest and banned.(or fined if uncle sam can find a way to make a buck off you)
...Yer right, the slope is getting steep, but when and how we disagree or protest, should be to our elected representatives, IMO, not in public, for our enemies to use against US...
OK, one more time for the hard-of-thinking:
Leftist apparatchik* John Nichols took the fact that a jerk got arrested while protesting during a Bush visit (note: while protesting, not for protesting) and made up a bunch of real scary fictions, using quotes from his trusted Socialist fellow-travelers.
freeeee took Nichols' piece and ran with it, all 120 miles from Dubuque, Iowa to La Crosse, Wisconsin. It's a large crock of Left-wing hogwash, and freeeee thinks it's a steaming hot bowl of delicious anti-Bush Stone Soup.
Well, it's steaming, all right.
*I googled up "John Nichols" and "Clinton" and the very first hit I got was a June 5, 2003 column by Nichols entitled "Hillary Clinton hardly a liberal icon". Furthermore, Commondreams is practically conducting a love affair with the guy.
...Haven't kept up with all 393 threads, but, I was thinking there is a time and place to disagree, when I replied on 392...
Did the FUGW lady - not toooo difficult to discern - have the sign ripped out of her hands? (Kerry people would have.)
Has the Secret Service paid her a visit yet at her home; looked into her income tax record? Threatened her? This is what the Dems are KNOWN for. . .it was 'normal procedure for Clinton; Kerry is NOOOOO better; uses the same threatening tactics. . .)
Maybe you have not noticed; but people line the by-ways anytime the President is 'rolling by'. But there are schedules to keep; destinations; they do not just 'stop the bus' and have a town meeting every couple of miles. So you're comlaining that they just 'rolled by'? Yahhhhhh! And so mean!
Are not the Bush's sitting out their daughters graduation because they do not want to disrupt the students and families of an entire graduation class because of them? Remember when Chelsea graduated?
I could go on; but you probably have not read this far anyway.
For sure; and just mentioned same myself. . .
am thinking this poster was not of voting age; when Clinton was President. . .
So 'freeeee'; are you a new voter; and really do not have a clue as to how the Dems operate? It would curl your hair! Trust me; the Repubs cannot come down to their level; even should they try!
This was not an official 'protest'; and surely the President has a 'right or two' himself.
Maybe people with signage who want to be up close and personal and in your face; need a 'protest permit'. Would be a good idea; otherwise they may totally block the accessibility/view from those who want to enjoy the visit as it was intended.
Protest signs can be held; and observed and appreciated and even make it on TV!!! without the people holding them; hogging, disrupting and spoiling the whole event for everyone else.
Forgot the most important. . .check post re Freepers experiences just 'Freepin' against Kerry. . .
Exactly. I noted your post #392, and it was right on the money. A Constitutionalist knows when it's become time to do something when he or she gets that certain itch in his trigger finger.
I read the original report on this incident (non-John Nicholsized) and it's pretty clear that Frank was being a twit.
And Frank is the only thing that Nichols has got to hang his hat on.
As I pointed out in my post #264, this was a hyperventilating fiction concocted by the Socialist fellow-travelers, who used the arrest of the lone jerk to concoct a bunch of theories about "whut woulda happened".
