42. MRO was disrespectful to the heckler?

a heckler, by definition, is disrespectful--- not to mention the fact that the heckler didn't have to stones to take her issue to Capitol Hill and barge in on her representative/senator and do the same thing to them.

Where was that woman when Laura Bush was speaking when she was FLOTUS? LGBT rights hadn't even advanced to the point where they have now when she was FLOTUS; there was no legalized gay marriage when Bush was president--in fact, he ran on taking away that right, so where was Sturz then? Now, there is forward movement toward total integration of LGBT folks and this is how Sturz acts? Ingrate.

You are so on point when you write "you charge the hill that the enemy is standing on...not your friends. Your friends take the hill with you. But, that isn't possible if you stab them on the way up."

Excellent essay!
