The Civility of the Right.




I'm sure you've noticed that the sign he's holding contains a bastardized version of this oh-so-civil Thomas Jefferson quote: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

I agree. Wall along the 49th.

Wait. On second thought, nix the wall idea, please.
