This is kind of funny
At the April 15th 2009 tax protest a woman who did not agree with the protesters complained “not everyone was interested in attending this party. "It's taken me half an hour to get from Beltline to here," says Bret Warren who drove to the post office to mail off her taxes. "It's insane."
I am sure many others who did not agree with the tax protest said similar things.
But less than 30 days ago there was an anti war protest in San Francisco where the protestors purposefully blocked traffic, it was not a case like the Springfield one where there were just a lot of people so there was some congestion. And apparently that is OK.
I wish I had time to go back to all the anti war protests and quote them on why what they are doing is so great and then dig up all the negative things those same people said about the anti tax protests. Id likes to do it for the media.

I have never taken part of an anti war protest but I have also never had anything against them. When it took me longer to get someplace due to protesters that’s just the way it was, If they waved at me I waved back, I treated them with respect. I have protesting in my blood, and I can’t help but crack a smile from joy when I see someone standing up for something they believe in even if its something I don’t.
I draw the line at mean things said about our troops. Some things code pink and a few others wrote on signs about our military was horrible cruel and I do not support that type of free speech in any way.
Though I don’t agree that President Bush was evil I never had a problem with people having Bush = Hitler signs or Bush is antichrist signs. I respected their right to carry the signs and think that till they threw temper tantrums when someone who felt that same way about obama did it too. Why it’s ok for one group to have unlimited free speech and another just needs to suck it up and shut up is beyond me.
Now that the left is complaining about tax protesting I think I will start complaining about theirs as well when I have never in the past. I am sick of having to take the high road all the time.
