Ah, the fruit born by Obama's influence on America. Tear down any and all US institutions and traditions, make people question those institutions and traditions.

You could write the same sentence about Ron Paul or Trump.

Tell me when the IRS has ever been an institution worth saving?

Tell me when Ron Paul had influence.

Wasn't he a Senator at one point in time? I think that's enough influence, plus didn't he run for president?

[Speaker to Animals]

Ben Shapiro takes stage at Berkeley under extraordinary security.

Conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro delivered his speech at the UC Berkeley campus on Thursday under extraordinary security that required attendees to pass through metal detectors and police barrcades that held back hundreds of protesters.

The event at Zellerbach Hall appeared to do what UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ has said she hoped for when she declared a free speech year on campus: provide an open exchange of ideas. Shapiro’s speech included a question-and-answer session in which audience members respectfully challenged his opinions.
...

Hundreds of protesters participating in a Refuse Fascism rally, were kept off campus just outside the south gate, where there were nine arrests, including Hannah Benjamin, 20, of Fremont, arrested for battery on a police officer and carrying a banned weapon, and Sarah Roark, 44, of San Francisco, and Michael Paul Sullivan, 29, of Hayward, arrested for carrying a banned weapon, police said.

At times the rally erupted in a few shouting matches, but no major violence.

Xochitl Johnson, 42, of Oakland, was one of the Refuse Fascism organizers, said Shapiro and other speakers make students rethink their beliefs — and “tamp down” their activism.

“People come out of his speeches and they think he made sense,” Johnson said. “They’re wrapping themselves in the veil of free speech to bludgeon these young people on these campuses with white supremacy, xenophobia, racism and hatred.”

"Shapiro and other speakers make students rethink their beliefs", huh? How do you "make" anyone rethink their beliefs?

It looks like SOMEBODY has a low opinion of people's abilities to listen to diverse opinions and come to their own conclusions.

Love how they wash over that the three were arrested for having a weapon, and that they were arrested because they used it... a girl was stabbed in the neck and is the hospital. Her condition is unknown at this time.

Sarah Roark, 44, of San Francisco, Michael Paul Sullivan, 29, of Hayward and Eddy Robinson, 44, of Oakland, were all arrested for carrying a banned weapon.

Hannah Benjamin, 20, of Fremont, was also arrested for carrying a banned weapon but she was accused of battery on a police officer, too. Kerem Celik, 18, of Saratoga, was arrested for “disturbing the peace.”

Berkeley has said they spent $600,000 to secure the venue for the event. When a community can't listen to a lecture at a university without spending over half a million on the sort of security the army uses to defend against suicide bombers in the middle east, you have a problem, and hearing ideas that might change your mind is not it.
