Bonaduce's the shit...

[AdironRider]

I love how he asks the people next to him if its ok to flip out, that was the best part for me.

[Dave]

Whoa. Politics need not even be part of this discussion.

What asshat just goes up and pulls this shit while someone is eating their lunch like that? Absent the camera, I bet Bonaduce slugs the guy in the face. I know I would have . . .

[M42Technik]

So wait, the guy that's gonna save us from Skynet in a few years just got punked out by Danny F'n Bonaduce?

-Charlie

Haha I was wondering when the Terminator jokes would start. That guy is a disgrace.

I didn't even know who John Conner way before this - hell I still don't know - But he is preaty easy to size up. Looks like a LA boy looking for his 15 min of fame.

But I think I'm going to start watching "Breaking Bonaduce" now...

I doubt our forefathers ever thought a born American would burn a flag at a rally, or that idiots like some these conspiracy theorists would act as stupid as they do. Sideshow antics are what end up on the news, not the responsible reaction to things you object to, such as a simple email to your senator.

Some of the founding fathers actually believed that revolution every few decades helped keep democracy in check with its ideals.






That fact doesn't stop John Conner from being a douche.

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.



You can't make a law like the one you're suggesting. It goes against what the founding fathers intended.

I have nothing against peaceable assembly. That is fine. Sideshow antics are what I disagree with, namely flag burning. That's a protected act, I realize that quite clearly, but I really wonder if anyone thought of flag burning when the Bill of Rights was authored. I highly doubt it.

I also know that my idea for rally participation wouldn't fly, but in my early 20's I kept hearing so many of my peers bitching about our government, but sadly they couldn't have told me who Al Gore was. It really bugged me, and that punchcard idea just came to me as I was typing. It's a little rough on the edges yet, but the WTO riots in Seattle was in the news again recently - and that was swirling in my head & the punchcard idea was the result.

I bet you like my idea to make medical costs tax deductable in order to get the government to put a leash on health care costs though.

Anyhow, I just get sick of people bitching if they didn't vote. My soon ex-wife is a staunch right winger, but if you ask her about any issue - yup, deer in the headlights. I'm not picking on the right, just using my ex for an example.

[chucko]

do it in the way the founders of this democracy intended.

I firmly believe that a persons' voter participation should be a requirement to participate in any rally. It doesn't matter who you voted for, but you should get something like a punch on your drivers license to show you voted.

You can't make a law like the one you're suggesting. It goes against what the founding fathers intended.

BTW- I agree that we should participate in our political process to best affect change.

[LINUS]

I couldn't disagree more. 'Projecting a unified front' is akin to burying your head in the sand. There is nothing wrong with criticizing the man at the top, especially when he is to blame for directing our foreign policy blunders. By no means is he the only one to blame though. Being able to openly criticize our lawmakers and national policy is a right that everyone should be able to exercise.
Oh, and the guy in the video sounds like a complete fucknut and isn't doing his cause any good by perpetuating conspiracy theory bs.

You're missing me here - inside our democracy I'm all for making changes and suggesting new policies, but do it in the way the founders of this democracy intended. I don't know how active you are in politics, but 1st and foremost, vote. I firmly believe that a persons' voter participation should be a requirement to participate in any rally. It doesn't matter who you voted for, but you should get something like a punch on your drivers license to show you voted. The only exception would be minors, since they can't vote yet. Next up, get behind a candidate. Go to the local rallies, participate in the local caucuses, go put up signs for your candidate - show your support throughout the election process. And then go vote again. If you win, cool - you were part of it. If you lose, show some class - you hear it from the mouth of the losing party all the time "....please put your support behind candidate xxx...."

I don't see how any of this is burying your head in the sand. I'm all for change, just some ways of showing what you want are more responsible and respectful. And out of respect for all those who have fought and died for our system of government and our land, all I'm saying is that doing it in a respectful manner has just as much impact as acting like a fool on camera and it making the associated press wire and broadcast around the world.

[hugh jass]

Well put. Exactly my sentiment as well.

Hugh Jass - not to put words on Parkerbink's mouth, but my reason that all the overly public displays about GW are a problem is something akin to the idea of Mommy and Daddy fighting in front of the kids.
We still need to project a unified front, despite the actions perceived as being soley GW's fault. Bush isn't totally to blame, there are many layers to our system of government to protect us from the extremists getting too far with their personal agenda. The more stupid antics by a few indiviuals that make world news, the more we lose face with other countries. I am well aware that we already look fairly bad, but public disrespect for our President is unacceptable. Deliberate attempts to make GW look worse than he already appears in the worlds' view are as reprehensible as flag burning.
In case you think I'm a party line voter, I'm not. I didn't vote for GW, but as our President I respect his position, reguardless of what I think of the individual.
Anybody who thinks our own government would in full knowledge allow 9/11 to happen really needs a reality check. You can spin things however you want given enough time and imagination.

So fucking cool. I watched this while I ate so I felt like breaking a plate over that guy even moreso. Huge props to Bonaduce.

And Photoshop.

that was fuckin awesome

I think D.B. is 100% right. (about freedom of speach and not publicly maligning the President) Had that guy interrupted my meal I would have been much less courtious.

Well put. Exactly my sentiment as well.

[Jand3rson]

Herculean display of self control. I couldn't have done it. Even before that bastard kneeled down, I mean what the fuck? Can you not see that I am eating? Did I invite you to sit with me? Who the fuck are you, a perfect stranger, to shove a microphone in my face and spout conspiracy theory bullshit while I am trying to enjoy my meal?

Exactly what I thought the whole time I was watching it. I think one of the rudest things you can ever do to someone is to interrupt them while they're eating.

[Digitalwave]

Well I just gained some respect for the "Duce"

Definately. That guy had great self control there, and actually had a solid opinion. He really shut the guy up at the end there. Pretty funny to watch. John Connor is a dick bag.
