Now its wrong because Obama is here? So dissent is no longer allowed with the "Messiah?" I'm confused.

But show up at an Obama protest packing a loaded automatic rifle and you get respect and even your 15 minutes of fame. No arrests, no hassle, no disrespect or stepping on the Second Amendment by Obama or his Secret Service.
That's the kind of change I like!

Perhaps you haven't noticed but the man with the rifle did not cross past the police line, meanwhile the "T-shirt protesters" did cross police lines.
Do you really like the CHANGE?
And obviously making exagerations like you just did gives you the opportunity to LOVE this CHANGE?.....

No. They didn't cross any line. They were AT a function. You didn't read the links, did you?
What exaggerations did I make?
Nearly 40 people were arrested on Sunday as they tried to enter the University of Notre Dame to protest President Barack Obama's appearance at commencement, police said.
At least 39 people were taken into custody on trespassing charges, police Sgt Bill Redman said. Among those arrested were Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff identified as "Roe" in the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalised abortion. She now opposes abortion.

I'm not going to argue with you. Everything you are saying has already been refuted in this thread. Sorry you came so late to the party.
ABC News' Raelyn Johnson Reports: While Sen. Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama were the stars in Denver Monday evening, several hundred protesters gathered in downtown Denver seeking a spotlight of their own.
Gathered at the intersection of Cleveland Place and 15th street, self described anarchists vocalized their opinions on an array of issues, from the Iraq war, to the heavy police presence in the city.
A small riot broke out near the civic center, forcing police to pepper spray and arrest some participants.
“The people united, will never be defeated,” protestors sang to a choir of several hundred officers, equipped for riot control.
“I’m protesting for peace,” said one woman, who was offended by the strong showing of force by authorities.
Two bus loads of people were taken into custody.
Phoenix police said authorities monitored about a dozen people carrying weapons while peacefully demonstrating.
"It was a group interested in exercising the right to bear arms," police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill said.
Arizona law has nothing in the books regulating assault rifles, and only requires permits for carrying concealed weapons. So despite the man's proximity to the president, there were no charges or arrests to be made. Hill said officers explained the law to some people who were upset about the presence of weapons at the protest. Watch the rifle being legally carried at rally »
"I come from another state where 'open carry' is legal, but no one does it, so the police don't really know about it and they harass people, arrest people falsely," the man, who wasn't identified, said in an interview aired by CNN affiliate KNVX. "I think that people need to get out and do it more so that they get kind of conditioned to it."
Gun-toting protesters have demonstrated around the president before. Last week, a man protesting outside Obama's town hall meeting in New Hampshire had a gun strapped to his thigh. That state also doesn't require a license for open carry.

It just makes me nervous. The type of people who take rifles to Obama rallies are the bad crazy type, IMO.

The United States Constitution is unusually difficult to amend. As spelled out in Article V, the Constitution can be amended in one of two ways. First, amendment can take place by a vote of two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate followed by a ratification of three-fourths of the various state legislatures (ratification by thirty-eight states would be required to ratify an amendment today). This first method of amendment is the only one used to date. Second, the Constitution might be amended by a Convention called for this purpose by two-thirds of the state legislatures, if the Convention's proposed amendments are later ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures.
Because any amendment can be blocked by a mere thirteen states withholding approval (in either of their two houses), amendments don't come easy. In fact, only 27 amendments have been ratified since the Constitution became effective, and ten of those ratifications occurred almost immediately--as the Bill of Rights.

Some other examples, but in this case the protesters were a bit too vocal, and were seen to "riot".

Do you like the CHANGE in which President Obama told CEOS from PRIVATE COMPANIES that they should resign, or they should be fired, and this same president ORDERED what sort of cars and trucks PRIVATE COMPANIES should build?
