Not sure if anyone here has been following this unfolding saga...(MSM hasn't really talked about it) but last week Adam Kokesh and a few friends went to the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC to protest a new law that says in essence, you are forbidden to dance in a national memorial, here's the result of that action.

After his arrest, he vowed to come back the following weekend and do it again,
(this is what Democracy looks like until the boys in blue stop it),

The irony is that Jefferson believed that we all should have the freedom to express ourselves, and dancing is a pure form of expression.


In case you don't know who Adam Kokesh is.

Do you think he is a real American Patriot or something else, he's the first to admit that he aint no dancer. Will our next revolution be called Dancing With The Bars?

Dancing on people's graves is just bad taste

I would agree, but Thomas Jefferson is not buried there, it's a place to remember what he stood for, and freedom of expression was one of those things, so dancing there is very appropriate, maybe not for me or you, but for those that want to celebrate that fact should have every right to, that's how I see it.

They dance not because he died but because he lived.

Do We Dance Alone?

That depends if it's a tango or not?

When this guy always dances on memorial spots... ok, but when he start dancing because there is a new law... that's just provocative.
And there's nothing wrong with respect for the feelings of other visitors.
On the other hand... I prefer dancing people instead of cranky people.
Long story short: what do I know?

The Stormtroopers acting on their own is scary. Total stupidity making an issue out of dancing. A scary place to live sometimes.
