I don't know why but, these protesters just do not do it for me. I think they're wasting their time because, most people as myself just don't care about them or their causes.

Now I must admit when I was young, I felt along some of those same lines once and even wrote a Revolution poem.

Maybe it's an age thing or ones that just never grew up?

Today I don't think that rising up against the government is very biblical.

Protesters that want to get rid of ICE and be sure that their abortion-rights are in order.

I can post a link but, if there was any background cussing in the video I would be in trouble again I hate that.

I agree with these particular protesters and with their right to protest against the government. FWIW, I'm speaking as an Indigenous person myself and as a veteran Native American social activist and political activist with 26+ years of personal experience and involvement in said activism.

Today I don't think that rising up against the government is very biblical.

The 'Founding Fathers' apparently disagreed with you, Bob.

The third sentence of the Declaration of Independence clearly reads:

That to secure these rights [to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. - The Declaration of Independence (emphasis added)

I don't feel like going through all of that and it's on all of the news channels for the past week.

Off the subject question I hope nobody supports Maxine Waters?

As a liberal myself, I don't agree with Maxine Waters recent political rhetoric, but I respect her right to freedom of speech and freedom of expression. And I will stand up for her right of freedom of speech, just as I have done before for the few conservative protesters I've encountered in the past.

I don't know, she seems to be pretty popular among the people who vote for her. Not sure why others don't care for her

My real questions would be
is she for real?
seems to be. :wave:

represents the Democrats?
The ones in her district seem to like her.

True, we need more like her and Nancy Pelosi.
M-Bob
I don't know about Nancy Pelosi but I do like how Rep. Waters seems to make Republicans...nervous. :wave:

Water actually makes us happy, it's great to see such wisdom on the left. I'm sure she'll bring many new voters. Or lose a ton.

Best firework seen from our backyard shot off at the Barona Casino tonight. I don't know why they always shoot them off the day before? I guess they don't want to celebrate the fourth. Getting more common today as we watch it all slip away.

I'm okay with protesters no matter if I agree or not. America was pretty much founded on rebellion against government and protests and most of our social changes for the better started with people protesting (votes for women, and civil rights; for example).
