Gghinkle

I am very unprofessional in everything I do, does that count?

RRR

I am

tennmike

No. But I'm a counter protester when it suits me. I like to go heckle Earth First! and such groups when they meet within easy driving distance. It's a lot of fun, but I sort of feel bad about making fun of them. Poor little thing's bread ain't done.

Popeye

I was just wondering

some of the pro protesters are pretty organized and effective

I wondered once and got poked in the eye, hope that doesn't happen too you.

Conservatives don't protest. We're too busy working to pay the taxes that allow "protesters" to have the time to exercise their freedom of speech and talk about how evil we are.

Ignoring your illiteracy..... I'm saying we follow whatever the law is and keep working our butts off so that you and your ilk can sit back, collect your benefits and have the right to spew your hatred towards us instead of saying "thank you".

'himself' is also one word...

So they're not only submissive to government (in which they consider to be all for lesser government) but also seem to assume and request a lot.
Doesn't sound very 'conservative' at all.

So conservatives support ripping off citizens to pay for the well-being (welfare) (entitlement) of other countries.

And for what it's worth, I doubt folks like cyclist protest much of anything. They love them some big gov and laws as much or more than these false conservatives do.
People seem to forget (or are ignorant to) the fact that our country was founded on protest and civil disobedience.
In actuality, we owe certain protesters a"thank you"

Willing to travel? The "Arab" spring has slowed a bit. The prospects in Ukraine are no longer favorable.

That being said, I am a man of action!
