Those "Victims" of law enforcements violation of civil rights - are RIOTING NOW!
Well everyone here seemed to think that those poor demonstrators were being unfairly targeted, and had their civil liberties violated - well now it appears your comrades have now begun destroying property in town - and doing their thing - whatever terrorists do!

Dare I say...
F it... I told you so! ;-)

Riots
There's nothing in the article you link to that says there are riots. This one
has much more info.

True..thanks...
I put it up as soon as I heard, and wanted to let everyone know as I didn't know what may be happening?
Thanks again!
Oh, almost forgot. LOL!
So, what do you say now?
P.S. - By the way, for what its worth, I do enjoy sharing ideas with you. It is 2 other users that get me thinking all liberals are retarted, 1 in particular, and initially I thought you may be a 3rd... LOL! Thankfully, you, and Brendan have proved to be considerable adversaries, while keeping it on a civil level, and helping me come to a more like minded place. Thx! ;-)

Well, just take a look at the numbers
10,000 peaceful protestors, about 100 bad apples. 99% of liberals are peaceful, friendly folk that just happen to disagree with you on some issues. :)

Ok, did you see any republicans protesting the DNC?
And if you can't admit this is a phenomenon that is leftist...we have no more to discuss.
You are right, 90+% of users her I am anxious to have interaction with, 10% are the ones you make clear are an unfortunate part of the liberal movement?
I am not saying all of you, but those that are....

Nothing to protest about! :P
Seriously though, protesting the government is a leftist phenomenon, for the most part. I agree. That is because one of the defining aspects of leftism is fighting oppression. I don't see that as a bad thing, do you?

Wow, I am exited to think we may ...
..have found a way to just bypass all the BS and share what we are thinking.
So, I think I have much to share with you on this matter, so lets address that later shall we?

It seems the Republicans
are more passive-aggressive types - they'd rather go for the kill from 750 yards.
And BTW - why don't you set up a poll and see if your opinions and judgments of others matter to anyone here?
Sic semper tyrannis
The only trouble is though, Spiritual Lefty,
is that a minority of bad apples is all that it takes to set the tone. The bad apples do not have to be in the majority to present a problem(s).
Which is exactly why
Which is exactly why it is necessary to point out that broad brush generalizations are not useful. Sure, there is a problem if even 1% of the protestors get violent and stupid, and I am not claiming otherwise. But if that is allowed to be a basis for judgements that liberals as a whole are violent and stupid, or judgements that protesting the government is a bad thing, or any other massive generalization like that, then that too is a problem.

Ha Ha
"...that get me thinking all liberals are retarted"
It is the economy, stupid.
Ha ha....? See above.... Geeze? n/t ..Ha ha!

Take the poll
Best for VP

You'll have to do better than that my dear... ;-)

Should have done a screen grab.
When I posted this it was 93% for Biden, and 6% for Palin.
Though I sure that you won't believe me, and I am sure the GOP would never ever fudge the #'s.
It is the economy, stupid.
I saw that too.
Pretty funny, even if short-lived! Sad that they couldn't even fake believable numbers, though.

SP - Please don't lower yourself to that level...
Of course "Christians" believe in the Bible!
Prove it otherwise!
Thanks.....

Wrong thread, but anyway...
I did not say that Christians don't believe in the Bible, I said that Christians do not "literally believe every word of the Bible." And I already provided proof for that.
Your welcome.

Good a witness!
It is the economy, stupid.
Maybe the rioters
are following Barry Goldwater's belief that:
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
Sic semper tyrannis
That's delicious!
It is the economy, stupid.
Cute... LOL! ;-)
But join the process and change what you don't like, I don't think throwing buckets of piss on people is what Barry had in mind, no matter how "delicious" that sounds to some folks?

Join the process?
These are anarchists? Wouldn't it be against their principles?
Sic semper tyrannis
Kind of hard to help those who won't help themselves? n/t
