Progressive nutjobs on a liberal campus eating their own is a beautiful thing. Parents take note of the school flyers that arrive in your mailbox addressed to your snowflake. Be sure the toss the ones from indoctrination centers like this.

As for Jonathon Butler, the hunger strike guy, he's been attending the college for eight years and still hasn't gotten his degree. It can't have been too uncomfortable for him all those years or you'd think he would have transferred to a place he felt more welcome.
Guess I should have said from the generation.......you'd be surprised how many think the hippie generation is alive and well today. Many have know idea it was an era, who fought against government intrusion.

Apparently your first amendment rights only apply if you don't offend any liberal sensibilities, otherwise they will attempt to force you out of pubic events.
Are you arguing that there are hypocrites in the world, I doubt anyone would disagree, but you also assume every holds the same position on all matters and since you dont know the people in the images and photos you posted. Then you have no proof of your argument. You dont even know if they are liberals.

No, you might be right. Her and the guy in the other video who tried to kick the reporter out for asking about Kate's law during the immigration rally are likely conservatives who support Trump. My bad.

You mean from a fellow leftist, a neocon like Bush, aka a leftist Republican, aka Rockefeller Republican? Neoconservatism is "neo-" (i.e., 'new-,' 'improved-,' 'lefty anodyne-') for a reason. It is, on record, Trotskyism brought by Bill Kristol's father, Irving Kristol, into the U.S. via Mexico City in the 1950s.

she graduated from college in 1993

which puts her birth roughly around 1971-1975

which makes her Generation X
