I strongly support peaceful protest, even if I don't agree with the message being expressed. Everybody has a right to the conviction of their beliefs, but as the old saying goes, your right to swing your fist ends, at the point where my nose begins.

I think the important lesson here is not which side of the issue one should be on, but that standing up for one’s beliefs is good, and taking responsibility for those choices is a major part of civil disobediance.

His deeply held convictions included abuse (yes, that kind), infidelity, and presenting a lovely front to all. He is excessively kind and helpful to everyone except his family. His "deeply held convictions" are probably why I am what I am, rebellious, overly analytical about people's motives, and too far to the left politically with the exception of the punishment that should be meted out to abusers of ones weaker than they are whether child, wife, or pet, and very dubious of the beneficience of an all powerful male deity. Express on Dad!!! No, he has the right of expression but not of condemnation. His deeply held convictions included abuse (yes, that kind), infidelity, and presenting a lovely front to all.

I remember their quiet displeasure when I was brainwashed into participating in an anti-choice rally when I was a kid (people from my church)...they let me do it, but they were NOT happy about it...and were very glad when I got my brain back from the cleaners.

No doubt, but surely the Jennie would not deny her father his right to express his own deeply held convictions? “Wouldn’t it have been fun to have support for my liberal actions!!!”
