I believe that most people on the left haven’t much sense. Nonetheless, I must defend their rights because in so doing, I defend my rights. I think it’s legitimate and even admirable to be a dissenter, whether or not agree with the dissent itself. Constitutional rights exist to protect such people from the will of the majority.

From the minority came our freedom as a nation. The majority was content in their positions {business or political under the crown} that they were quite comfy with the crowns yoke. History shows us in many places where the outrage of tyranny triggered responses from minorities. This was true in the early 1900 coal wars where miners faced down the Tennessee Militia and it was true in the early 1960's to bring about racial equality as well. While some involved may have had less than honorable intent as does about any group as a whole they produced good results.

I can find common ground with groups like the ACLU or even senator Byrd as they are actually right on an issue once or twice a year :>} The ACLU may have a higher average due to volume of isues. Dissent or rather the right to dissent is a time honored tradition in this nation which is quickly being snuffed out by Political Correctness. Bill Lind and Brad Keena used to have a show called "The Next Revolution" where they addressed such issues. Lind can by no means be considered a kook as he is highly intelligent. Linds lecture on "The origins of Political Correctness" is a classic in itself and highly relevant to todays times.
