Could be her significant other.
No one is supressing "dissenting views." Just turn on the TV news for three minutes and you'll get all the "dissenting views" you like.
"Dissenting views" are dissemenated by every media means available to as many people as possible.
Claiming that there are not enough "dissenting views" is like saying there are not enough stars in the sky.
"If the shirt fits...."
It doesn't fit. And it's not even a shirt.
not brown shirts but a closet full of tie-dyed t-shirs. Most likely with a marajuana leaf in the middle.
If that hag pulled that act on
me, while I was a captive of
waiting for a flight at the
airport, the officials there
would have to choose: "suppress"
HER views or "suppress" mine.
I would be controlled, but I would
get in her face.
She had no right that superceded
the rights of her harass-ees
"For the record, the brown shirt thing is old."
"For the record, supression of dissenting views was their stock and trade. If the shirt fits...."
Right, the recruits have a right to risk their lives for what they believe in and the citizen has the right to have her fat butt kicked out of the terminal for what she believes in.
she is lucky she didnt get her ass kicked
ROFL!!
There was more than a phonebooth's worth there.
Maybe a VW bug's-worth...

See what our government is doing:
1. Both political parties lie to us, and neither can be trusted. 2. Our economy is a disaster. 3. We're losing our right to free speech. 4. Both parties passed the Patriot Act, a crime against all Americans. 5. Both wage war against medical marijuana and alternative medicine. 6. Both attack our right to bear arms. 7. Both parties overtax, overspend, and over-regulate. 8. Where is the gold owned by the American people? 9. ...
Why inject a question into a list of declarative sentences?
Context. If you drop context the statement no longer applies. Look at the comment I responded to.
You might have a case if she wasn't allowed to express her opinion anywhere. Suggesting that removing a disruptive individual from an airport who is harassing other travelers doesn't even remotely qualify.
Try again.
Why my state? Why? Why?
1. There are no brown shirts
2. No dissenting views are being suppressed.
"Hey, that was my idea!"
I am going to use my freedom of speach today and call this lady. I will inform her that I will be posting this story with her home address in every female military barracks in new mexico. It is my right, as an american
Are you a professional dumbass or just an amateur?
'Cuz it would hardly be fair if my state had all of 'em.
;-)
The context was YOUR comment that I quoted and responded to.
No dissenting views are being suppressed.
I was talking specifically to YOU, and specifically addressing YOUR comment, "Now shut up and quit whining."
That's an SA mindset if I ever saw one. Here's a Jeffersonian mindset, and one more fitting a free republic, "Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it."
I'd rather people focus on combating her comments with reason instead of trying to shut her up.
