14. I am of the opinion that

we can justify anything we want in our own minds if we really want to, but that won't necessarily make our opinions just. I rely on my convictions alone, and I won't change those for anyone, ever.
I believe that these idiot truckers, no matter how misguided, have a fundamental right to organize and fight for what they want (peacefully). I held the same position for Occupy Wall Street and several others, and those movements weren't even organized labor.
If you wish to classify it as political, I can't stop you, but at it's root, personal health issues should not be labelled as political. Even if these guys were flat-earth idiots fighting for their right to say stupid stuff, I would hold the exact same position.
Protests and strikes utilize putting pressures on the systems, that is the entire point, and the primary tool of organized labor strikes as well as issue protests.
I believe we should all be cheerleaders for the ideological left and for the Democratic party, but not at the expense of our own convictions. I see this as one of those moments.
