About protests, I have a chip on my shoulder as a 'passive obedience' guy. *All* protests are illegal imo, unless against invalid Civil Authority (a usurper or fraudulent government). That goes for any possible 'side' of politics...

To take to the streets against duly constituted government is just wrong. Un-Christian. Yes, I know that makes me a Tory and not a Whig -- but I find the presumption that Whiggery is always Correctory tiresome.#NRx

What part of Civil Obedience (Passive, in the face of Evil) and the Non-Resistance Doctrine do you fail to understand? Hobbes, Filmer, John Taylor of Caroline, George Fitzhugh -- even the Connecticut Farmer (Samuel Seabury), later Episcopal Bishop -- got this right.

No good has *EVER* come from any single protest.
