Randy, True, but I could say that my Dad gave the first poster his right to be a Republican and we're Democrats, you see the futility of this argument? It needs a rest, IMO. We are all Americans, unfortunately the country is split down the middle like it hasn't been since Viet Nam, (thank's to "the great uniter"), and people's right to peacefully protest is something that I will fight anyone over at any time, including verbally if someone makes a remark about it. I know that I shouldn't, I can't help myself.
I may be a peacenik, but I'm no pacifist.
I know for a fact that there are soldiers and politicians who are not threatened or even bothered in the least by people waving signs, especially a bunch of middle-aged mothers, whether they are protesting abortion or a war. It's part of the deal here, and it's a damn good deal.
