The walker folks and their minions would do anything to discredit the very people they were sworn to represent-the citizens of Wisconsin.sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582415856684023846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-50398182751324314412013-02-13T18:00:56.687-06:002013-02-13T18:00:56.687-06:00"Ha - which part of the constitution guarante..."Ha - which part of the constitution guarantees the right to property damage without recourse again? "<br /><br />That would be this part, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."<br /><br />You know, that whole right to peaceably assemble, and petition the Government for a redress of grievances part? It doesn't have a qualifier with it that states, "Unless some anonymous know-nothing objects to the cost of aforementioned rights". When 100,000 people get together to exercise a constitutionally protected right, grass can get trampled. <br /><br />So, again, do you feel the same way about the financial costs of all of the constitutional rights that we enjoy, or just the ones that you don't personally agree with?<br />Shane_Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943711279049756819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-34322959082678519872013-02-13T05:52:18.049-06:002013-02-13T05:52:18.049-06:00If we want to charge the person who made the mess,...If we want to charge the person who made the mess, then we should look at the person that dropped the "baaawmm"Jeff Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118335402641807712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-19706491409178396002013-02-12T22:31:08.827-06:002013-02-12T22:31:08.827-06:00Here's an idea.
