Maybe you live in a different place and time than I do, but I'm not hearing about abortion protests sweeping the country lately. It's your fans on the left who oppose democracy and use violence and threats of violence whenever they encounter views they don't like. And your discredited view of racists at the Tea Parties shows you're an ideologue who doesn't let much fact get in the way of your views. Speaking of which--go spout them elsewhere. I don't mind disagreement, but you're just being a troll, and a not very intellectually-challenging one at that.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-53353414548380711232011-02-21T10:11:50.770-08:002011-02-21T10:11:50.770-08:00Darren, you have a recurring difficulty with your ...Darren, you have a recurring difficulty with your perception of violence. In your world, "violence" is people expressing opinions different from your own.<br /><br />I looked through your "exhibits." Sorry, but there is no there there. Except to those whose undies bunch when met with any expression of opposition. And your failure to acknowledge obvious, open expressions of racism and hate speech at Tea Party rallies precludes you calling out copycats at "liberal" rallies. <br /><br /><a href="http://newsjunkiepost.com/2011/02/20/may-1933-hitler-abolishes-unions/" rel="nofollow">Hitler abolishing unions</a> is a matter of historical fact, not political hyperbole.<br /><br />As for your Update #2, tell it to the anti-choice crowd who routinely harass (and sometimes murder) medical professionals at home. See now, murdering someone is actual violence.Not Mark Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-62772218657932241712011-02-20T23:46:04.154-08:002011-02-20T23:46:04.154-08:00Non sequitur.

Among other actions, a number of HS teachers refused to write college recommendations for their students and others refused to do so unless the student brought in a stamped envelope and a letter from their parents to the county council supporting the union's demands. How unprofessional is deliberately sabotaging your own students? The highly competitive colleges to which many kids in the area applied specifically required teacher recommendations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
