If the tables were turned and it was a group like Code Pink who were trespassing on a university’s property and breaking the university’s rule, it is highly probable that some folks here would be singing a different tune.

I think you're right, but you are trying to make a moral equivalency between the Leftists and us.

My gripe would be based on the fact that generally, Lefties are given a pass, (just look at how the Lefties who tore down the crosses protesting abortion back in February were recently honored for their contributions to the debate, and how the Lefties who shut down Tancredo’s speech just a couple weeks ago are going scott free, including the professor who organized and gave extra credit for the 'protestors', thugs really) and conservatives are held to the law, or even held to the standards of the arresting policeman that may very well far exceed the law.

If that was what I have done (make a moral equivalency), that was not my intention. I agree with you that the lefties are given a free pass. It is blatant, it is sickening. However, how can I stand on moral ground if I believe that because they get away with it, I should to?

I do not want to be like them. Ever.
