celebrities at political conventions

Not really.  Truth is I could care less about that.

The thing that isn't being mentioned, which is of considerable importance, is the protests and empty seats at the convention. I looked at the Cernovich videos mentioned and and believe that he is relaying an accurate account.  The protests at the Republican convention were almost non-existent.  Indeed the only media outlet that covered any of the protests was Brietbart which no doubt would seem odd to most people here.





As always the sources are included and I recommend that you look at them.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action.   -- Ludwig von Mises
