I wasn't thinking in that way--but why not? There are claims that we are having a civil war.
But I was pointing out the absurdity of believing that moving protesters the distance of a block away where they were free to carry on with their assembly was taking away their right to assemble.
And yet, ironically, Khatiri's professed first love was Lincoln who actually not only used force, but catastrophic, deadly force to totally squelch half a nation's claim to their Constitutional right to secede.
And on top of which, he falsely blamed Trump for deliberately doing it so he could have his Bible photo op--which, as Barr pointed out, was not the reason for moving the protesters.
But why do you choose that minor bone to pick on? His article and his idyllic view of "Americanism" seems to be based, as above, on some false notions and misinformation which severely and erroneously colors his opinion of which direction America is heading under Trump. And blinds him to the direction it has been heading before Trump.
But it really sounded wonderful. Which is how the left tries to direct us. With good words. Always speak nicely, politically correctly. Who can argue against nice, compassionate words?
And because Trump uses bad words, he is a bad person. And the country will go bad because of his bad words.
