So, Anybody in the thick of it??

reddevil1111, you have a bad day or something? Seems like you're mad at everyone.

Hmmmmm, Sounds like They started setting up for the taste of Colorado,,, Seems like that caught the unwashed masses by surprise...

I don't ever remember Denver setting up this early for Taste of Colorado. Looks like they intentionally screwed over the folks that got permits to protest at Civic Center Park.

[Marlin]

Maybe they had to clean up hippie slime...


I do admit it Might be a day early,,But it does make sense.. a day or two to clean up, a day to set up and check everything..

So, you don't have the right to protest because I have the right to drive here!

They had their right to do so in the time allowed after that your damn straight it is the rest of the citizens turn to use said roadway.

No, you can't drive here because I have the right to protest!

No you can protest during the time allowed and I can drive during my time allowed how hard is that to get??? Once again you live in a communist world where your rights are above everybody elses.

The argument defeats itself.

No your argument has defeated it self several times already!

Suck it up and deal with the inconveniece for 4 days out of the year knowing when you want to protest to have your right to privacy and self defense you are able to.

That in and of it self shows your complete ignorance that is not a flame let me explain. If everybody could block off streets and have protests any time they feel like it. Do you really think it would only be 4 days a week??

And you all would do well to read Molon Labe. It shows just how the Government will take away your rights.

Good book but it does not do any good when you have no concept of rights or how this country works.

You reading malon labe is like rossie OD reading sarah brady's handgun book on gun violence neither one of you have a clue but both of you will run with it, strap on tin foil and preach the end is near.

You know, I'm sitting here @ work with nothing to do (covering for our normal Swings guy who is on vacation) and my sad, sick little mind has once again wandered someplace it shouldn't have gone - and I thought I'd share it with you:

[Warning: This joke is wrong, corney, and really possesses NO humor whatsoever. Read at your own risk - then post lots of comments!]
New Take on An OLD Joke
An Illegal Immigrant, Nancy Pelosi , and a Colorado Conservative are sitting together in a bar in LODO (just go with me on this point; okay?!) and all 3 are lined up to drink a shot.
The Illegal gulps his shot then slams his glass to the ground, shattering it. The other 2 look at him seeking an explanation. The Illegal tells them “I’m an Immigrant in America who drinks too much. You Americans pay for my health care and give me special benefits for my drinking disability. Because of this, I never have to drink from the same glass twice.”
Nancy Pelosi then consumes her shot and then throws her glass into the mirror behind the bar, shattering the glass and the mirror. The other two look to her for an explanation to which she replies: “I’m the Speaker of the House and receive kick-backs, bribes, and a ridiculous expense check for my “official travels”; and when I run short of money I just take more from the American tax payer. I never have to drink from the same glass twice either.”
Now, the Colorado Conservative quickly downs his drink, pulls out his CCW handgun and shoots the other two. When the bartender looks at him he says “I’m a true Coloradian in Denver during the DNC. Now we’ve got so many Democrats (some are illegals), I never have to drink with the same ones twice.”

That was a joke son...oh wait...you own a gun so no laughing is allowed? Grow up!

That wasn't a joke-I'm not your son-I'm old enough to retire so I have grown up.

You, obviously, have never read the bill of rights. Your posts show that. Instead of Molon Labe, you should start there. I am not a communist, I am a Constitutionalist. I believe in itias it was written, not a living document. I believe ALL citizens have the right to protest. Not just the ones I agree with. You would change your tune if it were RMGO protesting downtown. (For that matter I would be down there if it were RMGO)

Hehe, I posted the 1st 10 on 9news yesterday, amazing how many folks don't know what's in there. Pissed a few people off too.

[Gman]

That's neat and all, but the SCOTUS has come to the conclusion that there can be acceptable limitations to those rights, including the First Amendment. SCOTUS rules on what the Constitution means, not us. This is why the appointment of Supreme Court Justices is so important.

You can "peacably assemble" without obstructing roadways. You can speak your piece, but I also don't have to listen to it. Detaining me in my car and impeding my ability to move freely is a violation of my rights. If the exercising of your right interferes with the rights of others, you aren't endowed by God to be more important than your fellow citizens.

So, how long is this stupid Festival Of The Sheep supposed to last?
