The Declaration of Independence was a Protest against the Government. Americans need to re-kindle that devil-may-care spark of disobedience. Its a demonstration of our Republic's health.What's that matter, you don't want the People to get in the way of Government?Questioning Authority, the American Way.
No you fool. He's saying that there are practical protests, and then there are melodramas. Attempting to 'citizen's arrest' the sitting president of the United States is a practical impossibility because, moral or not, the Secret Service WILL consider you a threat and take action up to and including lethal force. There are far more effective and practical methods of protest or even charities to help those in need that would benefit from your energies.On second thought, it might actually be best if you did go and challenge the Secret Service. Have fun. See you on youtube.
I find it difficult to see how anything your President does can be on "private property".You mean the property you paid for, I take it?The President works for the people. He's about as public as it can get. Yet, I think we can count the number of times Bush has been opening his mouth in public the last years on maybe 5 fingers, max.

For disrupting - free speech. Something she didn't seem to believe in herself.

"higher minimum wage"In other news, unemployment among young people is now the highest it has been in a couple of decades. The problem is especially acute among minority teens. Almost all economists recognize that higher minimum wages punish younger job-seekers, and help only the already well-paid union goons. Thanks a lot, liberals.<a class="user" href="http://www.mysanantonio.com/opinion/stories/MYSA.061908.OPED.eastlick.17ad271f.html">http://www.mysanantonio.com/opinion/stories/MYSA.0 ...</a>

When did obsessive, shrieking psychotics become patriots? Jefferson would have bitch-slapped her for being an annoying wench.

So you are standing next to a picture man/woman/child who was in Auschwitz. Who cares? You're just bloviating.
