A Protest Warrior I can respect

United on free speech

My brother and I have been traveling to BayWalk for two years, to show an opposing view to the antiwar protesters (both of us areProtestWarrior members and support the administration). But over the last couple of months we have also sided with the St. Pete For Peace group as regards the First Amendment right to free speech. We don't see eye to eye on many things, but on this topic we certainly agree.

I find the bullhorns, drums, and general anti-administration shouting to be obnoxious, but I'll happily support their right to do it.

We have been there every other weekend or so standing against the antiwar protesters, but in this we stand with them, and always will.
