Basically, it is everyone's right to protest peacefully. If you do not agree with the protest, you are free to do a protest against their protesting.
These are just a tiny bunch of people who have nothing better to do. I saw plenty of them while I was working in Washington DC. Across from the White House in Lafayette Park, there are protestors who have been there for years and are fixtures there.
No, these people do not understand reality - lots are either idealists or will not just fit into society.
Glenn Beck "warned" about these people? Who could possibly care what a former disk jockey says?

These are young people who think they can change the world. I can identify with them in their intentions and also with their ignorance and naivete. 40 years ago, I might have walked with them. They don't realize they are being manipulated by the very people they think they're protesting.
The big difference here is these youngsters are rallying against, and also for the establishment. It an amazing dichotomy.
I enjoyed your post up until you reverted to form and flipped off Glenn Beck. It indicates to me either your ignorance, your narrow mindedness or your stubbornness. Possibly, all three.
Maybe you just need a drink. See me later if you do.
