53. The media does focus on the radical elements to MISCHARACTERIZE,...
,...the movement as a whole (which is why I consider our media much closer to being right-wing than anywhere near being liberally-biased). The VAST majority of folks who have been demonstrating the last several years are normal, average American citizens who are witnessing the worst division and domestice/foreign destruction in their lifetimes. They fear for the future of their country and their children for very valid reasons -- a manipulative, fraudulent, profiteering and abusive American "leadership" is destroying the advances of an entire century of progress.

They deserve a say in what's happening. They refuse to be rendered powerless in country that is supposed to support democracy. They are exercising the freedoms they have been taught to treasure and embrace because of the sacrifice and suffering of those before us who fought for those freedoms.
