    Do you know the definition of "tolerant"? Just making sure you aren't one of those left wingers that claim to be tolerant.

    Two people, one conservative and one staffer with the Service Employees International Union, were reportedly sent to the hospital with minor injuries sustained during scuffles at the event.

    SEIU and Salon no thanks. But thanks for the info on 2 incidents , I take it back. But it seems to me when SEIU are involved violence erupts. So you can see my skepticism. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/deborah-burger/seius-latest-disgrace_b_96399.html

    Stellar--In post # 93 the poster said " I can't remember a protester shouting down " (you can go back & read the rest)operative words " I can't remember",Natty went back to 2009 to refresh the memory to back up his argument with facts-----

    - - - Updated - - -

    I do know the definition,Why do you ask ?

    Ah good. So you don't need me to tell you that you're intolerant.

    With most American voters (72,732,943) having voted against the radical political ingénue, and given his poor poll numbers, it is hardly surprising that some folks are speaking truth to power with spirit and conviction.

    It may have the Trump cult in a tizzy, but Americans will not be silenced.

    Actually, the temporal correspondence is eminently appropriate, both early in the respective administrations but, of course, I did not "have to" draw that parallel.

    If you are implying that the TPs quickly tired of their antics, no, they persisted for years, but the oldies remain the best!

    Well, I live in the areas where your imagination is creating. And the meth heads I know are not political, do not vote and have time for little else other than being addicts.

    Most white trump supporters work, but feel they are getting the short end of the stick given their living wage jobs were shipped to slave labor and part time service sector work took the place of those jobs. They are not doing meth because they could not do it an work, for most employment involves drug tests.

    So, you picked someone who may or may not exist, and used that to define trump supporters. This is what chaffs my arse about members of your tribe. The right side boys used to call every woman on some sort of welfare, welfare queens, driving a caddy, buying lobster everyday with her food stamps. This is what is happening with the faux liberals now. Why do people do it?

    For some of them, it is their job. UC Berkeley (for example) has always had a problem with professional protestors using it's campus and reputation as a stage.

    Well one things these protesters are NOT protesting for are...JOBS. They must not have one, nor want one, which frees them up to protest someone who wants them to have jobs. LOL.

    Well, you better take the Statue of Liberty down, she is no longer relevant.

    . “Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

    I am being absolutely intolerant to trump as I & "you" should be----
    It may be OK for you to accept that trump was colluting with a foreign government to interfere with the souvenity of our election process---IT is not OK with me-never will be---He is not our POTUS-he did not win fairly or legally---it is remarkable that some just want to dismiss this as long as your guy got in---
    -------- Heavy sigh------

    So you get to choose who to be intolerant to. So I can be intolerant to most black people, but as long as I'm tolerant to a few, I'm not racist.

    Your logic bodes well with the Klan.

    Most of the Teaparty rallies were on the weekends, or after work in the evenings like they were here.

    I don't think a 'gift' from the French should dictate American policy...
