    So much for right wingers being intolerant of others.

    Yesterday, Obama's homeland security chief issued this warning about right wing radicals and our veterans coming home from Iraq.

    The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.

    Does anyone else see the humor in the irony of a protest against free speech? Ha ha ha! (The right of free speech is pretty much what enables protestors to protest)

    Not sure what you are talking about. The protest in Chapel Hill was not against free speech, but against an individual who's speech they do not agree with.

    Pssst...the underground meeting will be at my house this week. Call the rest of the right wing extremists in our group and tell them to bring snacks. :lol:

    Apparently, free speech doesn't apply to everyone. Those idiots in Chapel Hill wouldn't allow it by someone that was invited to speak. As I understand it, it was one of the professors that encouraged the protesters to do what they did. The protesters were actually stopping free speech.

    According to the DHS, since I believe in the 2nd Amendment, the sovereignty of both State and Local governments, and the fact that I'm a combat vet, I'm a potential domestic right wing extremist and terrorist. Hey Volleygirl, I'll bring chips.....

    Actually, you are wrong. If they were protesting his view...they would simply protest.

    They shut him down. They physically shut him down with violence, such as breaking a window and thus causing the wimpy campus cops to cancel the whole darned thing.

    Typical liberals..."Free speech for me...but none for thee."
