Okay, we've firmly established that you did not watch the video and you're just shooting off your ignorant mouth again. Ms (that means she's female you transgender bitch) Manhart did not attack anyone. Nor did she call anyone foul names. Nor did she threaten anyone. She was verbally assaulted (that's assault), she was threatened (that's making threats), and she was grabbed, forced to her knees and cuffed (or what you probably call Saturday night). The police are not in charge of free speech or even what constitutes free speech. They are to worry about crime and what the students were doing was a crime.
President William J. McKinney should investigate what these students are being taught about history, the Constitution, and political science. Failing to do that, McKinney should be removed from office (but it looks like he is already on the way out) by the Board of Regents. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

Free speech allows one person to verbally attack another who is exercising their right to free speech. It does NOT allow the government to restrict what speech is allowed. I oppose flag burning, but in a political context, it's free speech and not subject to restrictions by government, except time, place and manner as necessary for safety. The government can restrict flag burning at gas pumps, but that's not a content based restriction. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

Why do not we have national healthcare, without intervention by insurance companies, which is much cheaper and much more practical. These special interest groups are running the whitehouse and leaders there are mostly puppets.

I have to disagree about one woman who I admire greatly. . .Elizabeth Warren. . .a woman of the people, by the people, and for the people! Run, Liz, run!!!

You know, your buddy Tom Cotton went to Harvard. Does he seem indoctrinated to you? Of course he's the Koch Brothers' bitch now. Anyway, it all boils down to fear with someone like you. You fear the unknown, which in your case, is a lot of things.

Why would someone burn a rainbow flag? I know why a conservative would burn one, but just your average american, why would they burn one?

Or is this where you try and convince everyone that the folks at that protest walking on the flag were just your everyday, average americans?

Seeing as how the burning of the flag is protected free speech, then yeah, it makes perfect sense. You can be against it all you want, but it is a first amendment right, protected and decided by SCOTUS. Originally Posted by WombRaider

Actually, the heading should be "Only in America". Try that in China! Try getting in the face of the police like they all did in Soviet Union. How about disrespecting anything considered righteous in a Muslim Country. Where else do we all have the Constitutional right and freedom to be stupid, rude, obnoxious, and even down right stupid? What a country!
That being said, I liked what she did, and wished she was a provider. But, that's just me!!!!

I thought she was a he according to you baby killer. Free speech? It is still the law that you can't do it. Care to prove how many of those idiots were actually thinking about free speech. That video doesn't make that case. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

UPDATE: Since we exposed the individual(s) and group, VSU has now issued an alert. Apparently the group was armed during the event, and the primary agitator is to be considered “armed and dangerous”:

Obamacare is about as close as we've ever been(or might ever be) to a national healthcare system.
Besides, all facts indicate that healthcare profit margins have gone up only slightly, which is expected since insurance coverage is now mandatory. I don't see how this has anything to do with Obama being paid for by the healthcare companies. If anything then, in that case Obama should have completely privatized healthcare so that insurance companies could charge what they want and raise the risk rate so that people with debilitating diseases could be denied coverage (as they were, previously). None of what you said makes any sense.
