In order to have a free flow of ideas and actions, it is important that we treat people with differing political views in the same manner we demand they treat us.

"you can't be civil to those people..." etc, just inflames the opposition.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Sure wasn’t the Boulder that was thrown through a GOP candidates window yesterday.

Another day, another leftist act of violent intimidation.

the alternative is violence.

Without "civility" you have one side going out of it's way to keep people they do not agree with from speaking.

Also keep in mind when people on the left use the word "Civil" they mean their way, their beliefs because they know what is best for everyone. Just as all good fascist do.

Let me address the second statement first. THAT, was horrible. I sincerely hope that whoever was responsible is found, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Now, to address the first thing you said. I have no problem if you yell at your congressman. I DO have a problem if you do it in a diner, while they and those around them are trying to eat. Or if you burst into their office uninvited and refuse to leave. Or if you attack them physically. Etc Etc etc

First amendment doesn't stop because congressmen want to eat in peace.

Sure it does. Unless you are saying i have a right to enter your home, or office, and harass you too?

You tried in November of 2016, and we DID get all over your asses and stopped her.

Nope, I support property rights. But no business owner has a responsibility to protect politicians from people yelling at them.

15 Federal investigations of Hillary and you have found no crime.

Let's see it that is true for Trump after just one federal investigation.

Yeah, who needs other customers right?
In any case, your right to 'free speech' does not trump (yeah, I went there) my right to eat in peace. But it sounds like you're okay with my following you to a restaurant and harassing you while you eat. So, where's the nearest restaurant, when will you be there?
