You win the internet for a day!

Even I could not rationalize that one!

Stepping back, what is interesting is that for forty years we all have been doing this style of rationalizing for the thousands of little cuts and encroachments to our constitution and rights.

The “geist”, the spirit of the people has changed. Today, the smallest duplicity, the smallest encroachment is seen as General Washington surrendering to the Crown. The people are saying “no more”.

For the 70 million supporting our duly elected President and the government that he leads, this rally stands for far greater principles and with 70 million livelihoods at stake. “It is getting out of the car and walking across a field to the convention when they have blocked the highway.” The voices of 70 million — their message should not be taken away by some local mayor.
