Civil disobedience - cognitive dissonance for some

Citizen journalists - cellphone pics and twitter

Should these citizen journalists have less 1st Amendment protection than real professional journalists?

The other thing that is outrageous about this is they are still letting the veterans visit these monuments (which is great), but denying citizens who did not serve. (WTF is that about, they are still taxpayers)

It's small, peevish, vindictive. Typical.

The other thing is that those middle and old aged protesters have something to lose, they are not like the footloose protesters of the 60's many of whom were in it as much to be cool and catch tonight's hookup as they were for the cause.

I don't hear MSM trumpets on the noble civil disobedience of these protesters.

Neither do I hear the MSM reminding us of Truman's famous phrase "the buck stops here."

I still cannot believe more people did not go batshit crazy and storm the streets after all that Snowden info got released.

It's like people don't give two shits anymore as long as they can watch American Idol and get their pizzas delivered.

I saw a report today that part of the reason for IBM's earnings decline (and the stock therefore slid) is that IBM's sales to China were cut 25% as a result of the Snowden's revelations about the NSA's capabilities.
