I actually talked to David at the Protest in front of John Olver’s office weeks ago. He was the fellow who disagreed with the Healthcare bill from the left who talked to me while observing the protest.
After the camera was off I met his wife and kids. Very nice people. Also they know my mother and had wonderful things to say about her. Of the people there he had the most moderate views and in conversation he and his wife make some important points. I’ll likely be talking more about David and his family in my next Examiner column so I’ll save my stuff for that.
The one thing I really would like to see is him to attend a tea party and actually talk to the people there. Maybe the next Twin City Tea Party. I think he would be surprised at how he would be received and the views of the people there.
He is commenting on one of the more violent episodes of the narcissist labor movement the Chicago Haymarket Riots of 1886. I think we can safely say that things have improved a bit since then.
This is a great example of a movement that has achieved a real gain looking for a new cause. It deserves a longer post and I’ll write one on the subject later this week.
BTW he can really recite. I think he would be great at any kind of dramatic reading.
