Columbia University Academic Thugs?

What can be said about the riot that took place against the leader of the Minutemen? Lots. There are a few places where discourse is expected to be orderly, logical, rational, and fair. A highly respected University is one of those. But in the case of Columbia University thuggery seems to be the accepted means by which to express a differing opinion.
Emotional appeals, verbal and physical intimidation, fallacious logic, and outright lies are the means that the illegal immigration advocates use in order to "sway" public and political opinion.
These methods in the past have been the means by which fascists, despots, and totalitarians have used to push their agendas on a weak minded and disorganized populace.
It is doubly troubling that a foreign country bordering ours does its best to intimidate, interfere, and manipulate in order to prevent our country from gaining control of our borders; all the while encouraging an invasion of its poorest into our country making us take on a burden it should be shouldering.
All of these events should be a warning to us that there are many in our country and abroad who care less about our citizens welfare and who feel no loyalty to us.
The vote in November is an important one to everyone and each citizen should have a clear understanding on where they stand on the issues and be informed about them: as well as very clear on where their potential representatives stand on the issues.
Be aware too that many of these potential reps are adept at side stepping questions and giving what appears to be an answer when in reality it is not the answer to the question.
When a person does not answer a question in one short sentence, but goes on and on without making it clear what they are saying--don't believe anything they say and do not, I say again, do not vote for that person. He or she is devious and not to be trusted. If we were to insist on yes or no answers to questions posed to our politicians, or anyone else who wants us to be swayed by their reasoning, everyone would be better off.
How about a signed contract or promisary by our candidates that they stand for such and such, will try to do such and such, and if not will resign if found going against the contract?
