The lunatic fringe of the left always think they are the only "right" people in the room.

 

My rule of thumb is to stop reading any post as soon as offensive language crops up. It shows the writer to be someone that lacks the ability to make a reasoned argument and has to resort to offensive and pointless bad language, as they have nothing useful to add to the conversation.

 

This finally explains why Trump supporters never even seem aware of his constant cry-baby rhetoric, caustic comments and derogatory slurs, 'which shows he lacks the ability to make a reasoned argument and has to resort to offensive and pointless bad language'. ..

 

Anyways, it's not like these grads stripped Pence of his civil rights, they merely walked out.

Mind you, you did well to make it to the end of the post. My rule of thumb is to stop reading any post as soon as 'The left wing liberal...' crops up - it marks the writer out as someone who lacks the imagination to do other than repeat the same tired slogans over and over again and as such, has nothing useful to add to the discourse.

Interesting, so, you do not read peoples posts , yet you know what they are going to say in those posts, that you dont read .

   Thats amazingly insightful .

I never said there 'are' these teachers, I asked 'are there' as in a question. The utube videos I mentioned were of the so called liberal students who were punching people and breaking sh## up. And what the hell does it matter if the so called college is Roman Catholic?

It was good they got up and walked out. That way Pence did not have to explain things twice or three times and still look into a bunch of stumped faces.

So democracy means: shut up, we won and you cant voice your opinion for the next 4 years?

Voicing an opinion requires listening to what the other person says and then voicing your opinion by way of replying .

   Refusing to even listen to what the other person is saying isnt voicing an opinion, it is just displaying ignorance .

No, democracy means that someone won and don't go around rioting because one doesn't like the result.

They didn't know what he was going to say, so they were protesting the man, not what he said. Speech hadn't even started so not about free speech.

Personally I could care less if some spoilt brats think they have the right to disrespect the VP of the US, but they will find the real world is less tolerant of their opinions.

Where was the riot? They were protesting the administration policies, which is their good right, at least according to Pence's speech about free speech.

 

On top of that, better look at the post I was replying to before you post.

They voiced their opinion in the only way they could.

I never said THEY were rioting. I was referring to "So democracy means: shut up, we won and you cant voice your opinion for the next 4 years?".

Did they not have a question an answer session arranged for after the speech, so the audience could voice their opinion ?

Like I said, they were protesting the man, not what he had to say. They didn't hear what he had to say.

That makes it political, not about free speech.

Where did I say that? I said I stopped reading them as soon as 'Left wing liberal...' is used. As soon as it is, yes, I do know what they are going to say without reading the rest.

The intent of the protest was not to damage Notre Dame's chances of survival.

The protest had zilch to do with opposing free speech, safe zones, or liberal professors.

 

Instead, the protest was a form of free speech in the sense it was a free protest shown in action.

 

It was motivated by two major political issues which Pence represents:

 

Pence is the most anti-gay civil rights V.P. in American history (and the way things are going he is heading towards the presidency now).

 

I will qualify that by acknowledging that the very concept of gay civil rights is a relatively modern concept so further in the past presidents and vice presidents didn't even have a public policy on such issues. 

 

The trump-Pence position on immigration. The Muslim thing and also that fact the trump promised to focus on deporting illegals with serious criminal records ("bad hombres") but the reality is turning out to be much much different and much much more extremist ... a very high percentage of those being deported now either have no criminal record or very minor violations. 

 

The protesters had no intention to and did not stop the speech. The walkout was simply a protest of Pence's policies and freedom of protest is something that decent Americans of all political flavors highly value. 

Aye right oh

Respect must be earned, give none, get none, keep walking.

I agree. One of the few recent examples of a proper, well-executed protest, regardless of whether or not you agree with their position.

Is there looney far left teachers bullying the rest with threats of words ending in ism? And therefore having the ear of these students? 

 

I've watched a few utube videos of these so called liberal students and I was in shock of the violence used by them to others that disagreed with them.  They call themselves advocates of free speech and tolerance but won't allow anyone who doesn't follow their line speak out and try to shut them down with shouting, rioting ect. They even deny stopping free speech and call it 'de-platforming' lol.  

Too harsh. They are just being normal for (privileged) kids of that age. Remember the old saying: (falsely) attributed to Churchill, " If you are not a socialist when you are 20, you have no heart; if you are still a socialist when you are still 40, you have no brain". Maybe just a scintilla of truth there but in any case, good on these kids for calling out hypocrisy and the charlatans who mouth it.

Google utube (it's a new intranet site where you can upload videos and stuff) use key words in the search bar containing words like student , protest, riot, trump supporters, campus riots. You be good to go then grandad.

America appears to be experiencing a total assault against democracy ! The liberal left, composed of social service parasites and likewise wasters, will let nothing stand in their path. I had always thought that democracy meant that the most popular man won the vote, and everyone tolerated the decision until the next election took place. This does not seem to be happening. Grow up, lefty liberals, and behave yourselves !

Excellent fake facts. The most "popular" man wins the vote? Not the one win most votes apparently and the one who lies the most during campaigns. Social service parasites? You better hope you never get serious illness and then refused medical insurance.
