    Couple of things (5.00 / 1) (#4)
    by JGillman on Tue Sep 03, 2013 at 12:55:12 PM EST
    Simply trying to understand any point you are trying to make.  

    Also, I cannot fight/dissect every battle out there to the nth degree, so what you may have missed or think we have is irrelevant.  I run a business as well as edit this blog and others.  There is most certainly a limitation to my efforts, even without same limitation on opinion.

    The POB is an easy one for most to miss.  the real fight is to be had at the local level where boards and commissions will apply the tool.  Up here we are having that argument as-we-discuss this.  The fix was broadly accepted at the legislative level BECAUSE of all the hidden bankruptcies without it. Right or wrong.

    Hardly shooting any messenger.  You say

    "given the fact that this site has been accused very publicly of the same in the past...and didn't like it much either."
    And I say

    I Don't give a rats behind.  Too many folks are overly sensitive that THEIR message isn't seen as 'the truth.'  All of us here have many common convictions, and as well, many differing perspectives.  You bring another that I have yet to see, and am still trying to grasp. (its a little loose on the edges, and maybe not as clear)  If my responses don't make any sense, its because the input is less than stellar.  If that hurts your feelings and you "frankly resent" any of it, its no skin off of my back.

    I do appreciate your discussion however.

    A quick question for Tea Party leaders... (none / 0) (#5)
    by SharedSacrifice on Tue Sep 03, 2013 at 01:16:00 PM EST
    Since AFP is evidently 'the model' for free speech and assembly organization/lobbying due to their irrefutable actions during and after the Right To Work rallies in Lansing last December...what would 'your' organization demand from legislators after being confronted with the following?:

    Being physically assaulted/pushed off the steps in full view of Capital police?

    Unanswered 911 calls regarding same?

    School children present in our Capital while it is being effectively taken over by activists? (who were later pepper sprayed)

    Over 26,000 school children denied an education due to the fact that their teachers were conducting an illegal strike right next to you?

    Activists jumping up and down on a centuries old glass rotunda floor and pounding on even older railings?

    15 foot, six inch diameter metal tent poles falling all around you?

    Knives slashing above your head as you lay on the ground while being assaulted verbally by those crawling to 'get at you' ?

    Flammable material being stored/spilled on the Capital steps...with nowhere to run?

    ...or would you approach it the "AFP way"...and simply do nothing...concerned that any action in defense of the mere anonymous political pawns USED that week...did not necessarily rise to the importance level of "the relationship" you have been attempting to maintain and foster with legislative leaders just as silent?

    Is standing up for the freedom of assembly or speech and making the Capital continually safe for both necessarily 'worth' ruining a long running cozy relationship with your lobbied lunch partner?

    Evidently not.
