A Funeral for Civil Liberties - UCSD Young Americans for Liberty

Young Americans for Liberty at the University of California - San Diego stage a mock funeral in protest of President Obama's expected renewal of the USA Patriot Act, a policy that flies in the face of his campaign pledges of being a candidate for civil liberties.

whats the point of this other than patting yourself on the back for "fighting the issues". I mean seriously. I completely agree with what you say but why the fuck do things like this. The students who see you probably start thinking the opposite of what you want because they don't want to be the idiots who protest like that.

@pattonarthur The point is to identify, recruit and train other activists committed to the Constitution and use the activism event as an opportunity to develop effective, articulate leaders and get them noticed and in greater positions to make the changes they want.

That is why people do activism. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and use nice words: you are being short-sighted and are mistaken that the people who "don't like protests" are that important to the political process.

@thomaserossi You have a problem with South Carolina's revolutionary war flag? You realize that radical Islamic groups do not own the moon, correct?

What's awesome to see are the multiple races and both sexes represented here. Liberty appeals to everybody with a brain. ;) God bless America and long live the Republic. :)

@thomaserossi The Fort Moultrie Flag 1775

This flag was carried by Colonel William Moultrie's South Carolina Militia on Sullivan Island in Charleston Harbor on June 28, 1776. The "Moultrie" Flag was designed in 1775, and flew over Fort Sullivan (later named Ft. Moultrie) during the battle. The flag was shot away by the British in the battle, but the British were in turn defeated which saved the south from British occupation for another two years.

You guys rock. That is so inspirational to see even a small group of dedicated citizens, especially students, in a peaceful protests. It's amazing these issues aren't bigger, but nothing starts without a spark! Wonder if any kids at Yale would even do something like that.
