Whether we agree with the man or not, there is a certain amount of respect that must me given the Office .
You don’t have to agree with him or even like him, but you have to respect the office. I know people are frustrated and angry, but that does not excuse the degradation of civility. We must be able to express our differences in a respectful manner. Otherwise how can we demand respect in return if we are willing to lower ourselves to this type of behavior. This is exactly the type of behavior that was criticized from Occupy. No respect, no civility, just right in your face screaming and yelling disrespect. You cannot have it both ways. You either behave the way you would have others behave or you accept that you will be treated disrespectfully because civility has gone to hell in a hand basket and no one cares.
That is not to say that we cannot voice our displeasure. Of course we have free speech and should be able to express it . but crashing a function such as this and making a show of it like this. I truly believes it reflects badly on the person.
That is a very personal opinion and I respect the opinion of anyone who is not in agreement . However, I believe that we as a society are losing our sense of respect and propriety. Protests serve a purpose, they get a dissenting message across and if your cause is just and it resonates with others then you will have what it takes to make people take notice. But Heckling only makes the heckler look bad. It is very sad to see……..
****I would also like to add that Madea was arrested with her boyfriend and quite a few others for dancing at the Jefferson Memorial during an Adam Kokesh demonstration. Video has been added below. ****

President Obama’s speech Thursday on national security wasn’t just a one-sided affair. The president paused multiple times when Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin shouted out, literally stopping Obama in his place and forcing him to respond. Benjamin was demanding answers for the drone strikes that killed four American citizens as well as the end to holding detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Benjamin is a well-known anti-war protester recognized around the world, and she joined us to talk about why she couldn’t remain silent during the president’s speech.

A disgusting over-reach by federal goons at the Jefferson Memorial results in the mass arrests of innocent tourists, including a couple who were kissing. Adam Kokesh was also arrested for dancing.
