Radical leftists insulted Gen. Earle Wheeler, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at Brown University as he addressed a crowd where he attempted to defend the war in Vietnam. The protesters would have none of it.
On election day 2016, I was confronted by two rabid-democrat activists who had been imported to the district. They were frothing against a caricature of Donald Trump and were not the least bit interested in advocating for Hillary Clinton.
The situation in 1966 reminds me of the radical leftists who are demonstrating this week SP5 Mark Kuzinski
A few zealots and hordes of gullible people tend to demonstrate because their vision of reality was shattered by the most recent election.
Instead of turning on those who deceived them they are turning on caricatures of the President-elect which were created by his opponents.

You know, we as people are often too quick to judge that our point of view is paramount and that others have no validity in their thinking. That is completely wrong for we can learn something from everyone. Have a great day!

This week it was also reported that a young father lost his life as a direct result of these young protesting DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. They blocked a street refusing to let the ambulance through.
This is the generation that was given trophies just for participating. This is the generation that was never told or know the meaning of NO!
This is the generation that feels everything should be given to them without question.
This is the generation living up to its reputation as the most worthless generation...a generation of pussies!
