Don't stifle free speech with silencing acts and cowardly attacks. If you have something worth saying then people will listen. You don't need to humiliate the other side to make your point.

Only Brits could throw pies like that. In America, they'd immediately arrest you, label you a "terrorist", and/or sue you.

I hate globalism, but the corporate elites love it! All the elites love globalism, the common person would rather not have it.

HMMM..makes me wonder why the media and Hollywood love Obama so much, but do not criticize him at all. Is it because he is black? All the American lemmings are going to be real sorry. Just wait and see.
