Memo To Moonbats

Listen up Moonbats!  You need a lesson on the First Amendment.

From Chapel Hill, NC:

About 30 protesters -- members of Students for a Democratic Society, The Raging Grannies and others -- held signs, walked in a circle and shouted, "Out of Iraq, out of our schools! Out of town, shut the war down!"

In addition to the protests, two government cars parked outside the recruiting station were vandalized with spray painted messages, "Go home!" on one and "Not welcome!" on the other.

OK, Moonbats, here's your lesson:

1. You have the right to protest.
2. You DO NOT have the right to trample on private property or trespass on DOD installations.
3. This one is a biggie:  YOU DO NOT have the right to vandalize other's property.

Did you get that Moonbats? 

You can protest on public rights of way all you want and carry a sign with whatever inane and/or insipid slogan you want to put on it.  No one cares.  However, you do not have the right to trespass and you do not have the right to spray paint those inane and/or insipid messages on to other people's cars, houses, places of business, or whatever is not yours.  It's called vandalism and it is a crime.  It is not free speech! It is not your First Amendment right to deface other people's property.

Every man and woman willing to wear their country's uniform and serve honorably has more character and understand the meaning of liberty far more than you ever will.  They understand what it means to actually do something meaningful.  You spoiled little brats, who've never sacrificed anything more than a latte, aren't worthy enough to lick a soldier's boot.

One more thing you idiot Moonbats.  It isn't you that guarantees your right to free speech.  It isn't some frizzy-haired, patchouli scented lawyer at the ACLU that guarantees First Amendment rights and it isn't some overworked, overpaid idiot judge that ensures your right to protest as you see fit.  The irony is that the very people and institution that you protest and want dispatched from your schools and town is the same people who stand ready to guard all of your freedoms, any time, any where.

And they do so gladly and voluntarily and expect no thanks from you.

Yup, I have to agree with you on this one. They went too far with the spray paint. That's just rude and undermines their cause.

Amen, Sister. No one says they can't protest, but juvenile acts of destruction cross the line.

Went to far with the spray paint? Everyweek I call the antigraffti squad. Give me a break. This is kid stuff.

[MOGS]

"kid's stuff"

Compared to some things these asshats and others like them have done in the past, yeah, it's not AS destructive.

But you miss the point my dear Kitty.

It still ain't right, nor legal, nor couth, nor particularly brave or "revolutionary" to do so, but I'm sure they all went home high-fiving and patting themselves on that back anyway.

Why do people think that vandalism will be cause to take them seriously? It causes quite the opposite. Childish behavior like this, drum circles, performance art in the name of "peace" "breasts for peace" crap like that tends to make it LESS likely that anyone will take them seriously.
