For UNC student Brian Sleevi, 21, the altercation just made an eventful day even more so. "It completely added to the experience and will be something I can tell my kids about," he said. "I think it adds to our collective message that we need to get Bush out of office."

Well, Mister Sleevi needs to learn the hard truth. Liberals are not content to live and let live. Liberals are not content to live in peace. Liberals would rather not let the rest of us live at all. Let us pray that the children of such liberals dare to educate themselves and dare to QUESTION AUTHORITY, the false authority of their ignorant parents.

The only regime change that makes consummate sense is the abolition of the Democratic Party and its thorough reformation once again into a party of the working person. Extremists with hate-filled agendas, among them the abortionists and gay rights activists posing as victims when they themselves have become aggressive and obnoxious in the IMPOSITION of their views, need to develop their own political party. Maybe many of the present Democratic politicians can follow them there. The present Democratic leadership would rather keep these leftwing extremists under the guise of tolerance for all. Rather, it seems to me that they don't have the 'cojones' to restore rationality and common sense to the Democratic Party.

In the culture wars that are yet to be fought, even more intensely than they are now, maybe we can finally come to understand the real meaning of what Barry Goldwater said during the 1964 presidential campaign, the quote below credited to Karl Hess... And the words of Benjamin Franklin.

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." ..."A Republic, IF you can keep it!"

We will be waiting for the likes of these liberals, who have no concept of personal space, personal dignity, and the most basic respect for the principle that true diversity is the diversity of intellect and opinion, the right sincerely to hold an opposing viewpoint.

Here*s the article from the Mirror (Yes, the same Mirror that ran this ad):

News: Student arrested at rally

A UNC student was arrested during a protest of President George W. Bush.

Senior journalism and mass communications major Michael McCarthy was arrested, detained and charged with disorderly conduct after he was involved in a conflict with a police officer during the protest.

According to a Greeley Police Department report, McCarthy hit a police officer stationed on 11th Ave. and D St. on top of the head with a sign.

McCarthy denies that happened, and said he only waved the sign near the cop*s face.

"I basically stepped forward and raised my sign in front and raised my sign in front of the police officers* face to shield his verbal abuse to the (other) protester," McCarthy said. "At no time did I cross out of the protest zone. I never struck the police officer, I never spoke to the police officer, nor did I make any gesture at all to him other than raising my sign to shield his verbal attack. The police officer then stepped across the police line and grabbed my wrist, he was basically trying to force me down to the ground. The officer started yelling *He hit me, he hit me,* and at that point several officers started grabbing me and pulled me in all sorts of directions."

McCarthy said he does not know why he was he was singled out, but he said he thinks it was because of his support for John Kerry.

"I am a very vocal supporter of John Kerry and even more vocal critic of the administration and their policies," he said.

"I really don*t believe at any time that I posed a threat to the security of the president. If anything, my presence only posed a political threat. But the way they had a free speech set up it was just a mocker of this country*s rich history of vigorous political debate."
