Look Bluessol, I want to bury the hatchet here. I think we've gotten into a comment loop where we are arguing cross purposes. Please allow me to apologize for any offense. My issue is not with you, but this meme. Americans have the right to assemble and protest under the first amendment. Hell, our whole country is built on it. That includes citizens who are Commies, Nazis, Klansmen, non-patriots, etc.
The meme is titled, "Portland protestors are patriots expressing their 1 st amendment rights is a lie". We know for a fact that many Portland protestors are military veterans and I will not question their patriotism. And they certainly are allowed first amendment rights. I am sure there are other patriots who protested in Portland. I am certain that all Portland protesters are not communist, especially not the vets.
I may agree with this meme if properly labeled.
