In other words, you are annoying your own people. From the point of view of flyover country its just a bunch of Millies having a hissy-fit.
And so did the t-baggers start in their Red zone backyards.
Everybody gets a turn in the barrel eventually.
Funny thing about the Tea Party protests, which were very large, is that they cleaned up after themselves and didn't destroy property. The Occupy protests left quite a mess when they were done and the current set of protests have destroyed quite a bit of property and left a mess behind. In a rural area these people would have ended up in jail but in Portland for some reason the prosecutor is not pressing charges.
You measure the validity of a protest by its tidiness???
How bizarre and sophmoric.
I guess one of the reasons that Libertarians can't sell their junk.
Not necessarily but it tells me that I am not dealing with a bunch of spoiled snowflakes throwing a fit so I might be more inclined to listen. The Tea Party protesters were tired of having all of their money stolen by the government and wasted. Not wanting to be looted seems like a good reason to protest.
Let's put aside your being misinformed that federal taxes actually pay for any federal spending, wasted or otherwise.
And just note that your throwing your lot in with the ones carrying signs - "Keep the government's socialist hands off my Medicare" - because they tidy up.
