Do taxpaying voters who objected to Iraq and similar exercises deserve political representation?

seriously, where does an extremist minority get off dictating policy to the majority?

The In Doctrine ate their brains

Political zombies and automatons who cannot differentiate between US policies and political front people who defend and defer.
They pledge allegiance to someone other than their fellow countrymen and the national best interest.
Attacking the invasive free thinking organisms who find their virus untenable within the body politic.
Because two conservative, interventionist law breaking parties are what they want in the US.
From domestic surveillance to rendition and torture, from extrajudicial assassinations to media consolidation and
tax free corporate overlords-
everything is just fine.
Dont rock their boat.

There is no room in the Democratic Party for Republican policies.
If there is to be a choice in the two party system, we have to make that the rule.

Are Dinosaurs campaigning for Republican victories in 14 and 16?

"If" and WHEN Republicans come out against NSA spying, and more significantly, FOR "decriminalizing" marijuana,
will the loud bleating of Jerry Brown and Dianne Feinstein hand the state over to Republican candidates?
Can anyone point to issues that will draw swing voters and undecideds to the Democratic anti-pot and whistleblower tickets?
Not that I take the Republican rhetoric any more seriously than a sack of manure, but what results can be expected from the noises being made?

Pinkberry co-founder gets 7 years for beating homeless man

Source: L.A. Times

The co-founder of frozen yogurt chain Pinkberry was sentenced Friday to a maximum seven years in prison for beating a panhandling homeless man with a tire iron.
A jury found Young Lee, 49, guilty in the June 2011 attack on Donald Bolding. Bolding flashed a tattoo of a stick-figure couple having sex to the people in Lee's car, which included his fiancee. Lee drove away, then returned to the East Hollywood street with another man who'd been in the car. He then beat Bolding, who suffered a broken left forearm and several cuts to the head.
After the jury returned the verdict in November, he was ordered jailed without bail by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Henry Hall, who declared him a "significant threat to the community" because he had threatened a witness in the case.
