Well, that's what a liberal democracy is all about, being able to protest anything. Ofcourse, some of them do break the rules of proper decorum (talking about those dumb f***s who try to make their statement at soldiers' funerals) and they should receive some reeducation with baseball bats and crow bars for hassling grieving families.

The US is not a liberal democracy. We are a representative republic,or maybe you were refering to Canada?

Yep just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean you're right in doing it. And I'm sure most soldiers would be the first to defend their rights but I question most people who get in large groups and protest things--it usually seems like a mob mentallity to me with a few who believe and the rest along for the ride.

Maybe statements like : "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" cause some confusion when talking about American government. But I believe the Founding Fatheres when looking upon the Greeks /Romans for infuence wanted to stray away from pure forms of democracy ---so in a sense didn't believe in true government by the people but by elected representatives. I think it's funny how people come out with polls showing the unpopularity of the President,etc and say government policies should change accordingly ---- I think this is what the Founding Fathers wanted to avoid ----wait until the next election and vote in a new bunch but meanwhile , hands off to the masses. I think they got it right.

Yep Justin 100% true democracy always results in mob rule! and then some insightful fellow wil come along and convince the"good people"that we need a good strong leader. after all look at what mob rule has done for you !! In the blink of an eye you have a new dictatorship! they might use any name to describe it but it will still be a dictatorship!

It's a little off subject (sorry Lancer) but I came across this article the other day. I don't know anything about who wrote it or what political angle it might be coming from but thought it was interesting:

Thanked: 0Anything from mises.org is about as libertarian as it gets. The man that wrote that article has a website where he promotes shaving without any lather.
