We can argue the merits of the Boston Tea Party if you'd like.

I'm arguing that BLM and Antifa are based off of faux outrage and their antics of violence are completely unwarranted.

They are not good examples of proper protesting.


You know what is though?



That man would be ashamed of how some people are protesting today.

Is your protesting violating anyone else’s rights?

No? You’re good.

Yes? Your rights end where mine begin a-hole. Get out of the fricking road before I make you get out.

you can't comprehend the difference between something that is completely false vs. something that is statistically all but completely false?

The difference is, you do not tear up a nation over something so small, and you do not further flame the races.

Yeah it's this simple. It's not okay when it turns into a riot like st louis or when someone drives a car through like Charlottesville.

You don't have the right to hurt other people or their property under the guise of protest.

Protesting is a just a means to an end. THE most American activity one can do is vote.

I entirely agree, as much as I may not agree with the subject matter.

Negative.

Playing baseball in an American flag speedo while firing a gun randomly into the air while trotting the bases to third base to chug a beer at the beer station there is the most American activity one can do.

The most American activity is to get up and go to work to support your family.

Can't do that if you protest every day.

I don’t fashion being an American as an activity, it a mindset. Some have it, and some simply are in the dark. If it is an activity, then I’d say it’s that which enables those freedoms and liberties, not protesting what this country stands for.

Fighting for this country during times of war

Standing up and vocally supporting the rights, liberties, and freedoms we espouse, and supporting the original premise of America’s foundation as a country.

Standing against that which opposes the ideals that this country is founded upon



To protest what this country stands for is not an American activity. They may have the right to do so, but they ignore that it’s America and what we stand for that gives them that right to do so, which in my estimation makes their words sound ludicrous.

Everyone has a right to protest

Everyone else has a right to disagree with that protest and not be judged as a racist etc for voicing their own opinion

I agree. I made a 180 on this rapino protest stuff.

Her protesting on a national stage shows how great our country really is.

Not to mention most out there will see her protest and think she's an idiot because their own country is much less tolerant.

B.S. Doing what you want regardless of society, the government, or the self righteous protesting morons is.

As noble as this seems, the statement is a major tenet of the socialist/communist manifesto.

In October, my tour guide in Beijing told me the exact same thing... "we don't worry about the government, that is their job. We concern ourselves with family and work"

Our right to protest is so crucial to so much of what we are, and what we can be. Despite the fact that the fricking nut-jobs on the Left are completely missing the point... and sending us as fast as they can towards what that Chinese guy told me.

protest with purpose and clearly defined intent approved as is your right, protest with no purpose with the intent of creating disruption and chaos should be an invitation to be detained, searched, arrested, jailed and prosecuted by all means available to law enforcement and the legal system...

That wasnt some spineless pussy protest to demand "free things" and special treatment and to complain about successful people.

That was an open rebellious act against the bitch country that wasnt worthy to oversee Americans. And they understood the implications.

It was a demand that government back the f off and allow competent humans to manage their own affairs.

In other words, the extreme opposite of the selfish spineless, anti-American retards protesting for Leftist stupidity in 2019.

No, protesting nowadays is a petty circlejerk of selfish twats who wouldn't know a foundational American value if it planted a fat red white and blue kiss on their snarky, ugly faces.
