The problem with these protests, as I see it, is that the protesters show no awareness that we are living in dangerous times, and that they are causing the police to expend needless energy corralling them when they should be looking out for bombs from al Queda. That shows Americans the total lack of common sense these people have and their egocentric messing with National security.
Well, the thing is that they seem to believe that we really aren't in danger and that the whole war and all the alerts are just political mechanisms trotted out by the administration at whim.
