The signer kept going! There's always a way around America's favorite coping mechanism (censorship, that is)

@charlesvan13 This is different because it involves our military murdering people and destroying a country, with our taxes, and our troops. Murder is a crime.

Well, the Christian who inapropriately tries to convert people at a graduation cerimony whould say the same thing, that his cause was too important to ignore. But it would still be off topic for the situation.

@combatLaCarie Because they're generally simple creatures.

@Amhlair libertarian isn't "rightwing" its socially liberal, econimically conservative.

The chickens came home to roost......

@combatLaCarie good question - its a propaganda tactic.
-
@combatLaCarie "much of the right" is what I should have said.

@Amhlair fact, I stand corrected at least to a degree.

@combatLaCarie The Ron Paul right doesn't.
What comes of a four-year liberal arts education in our country today? Ignorant, uncivilized nationalism. The propaganda machine has done its job well.

"this speech was given at an innappropriate time (a graduation ceremony)"
And when is the "appropriate" time? Your comment betrays a retreat from public life, as if the only "proper" venue for political expression is the television, radio, or the internet. Outside of these outlets, are we supposed to remain silent on critical issues? Are we supposed to disengage as citizens? Are we supposed to SHUT UP?
Within such an outlook on society, the facsist seed grows.
