I don't troll.
Please explain to me in simple terms how this is any different, when you get right down to brass tacks, than anything the US government has done? Don't get me wrong, I love my country. But loving my country doesn't mean I'm blind to it's faults.
Further, please explain to me how someone can, in essence, deliberately wave the red flag in front of a bull, and then expect any sympathy* when they get gored? I understand why she did what she did; I even approve -- I just wish she had the strength and the courage to stand behind her convictions instead of going into hiding. It really doesn't seem to me that she expected any repercussions from her acts, and as a staunch advocate of personal responsibility, I can't help but lose some respect for her over it.
(* I realize Miss Norris may not be expecting sympathy -- I rather hope she isn't, in fact, it would make me respect her more -- but the original post seemed to imply that we should be feeling sympathetic for her current situation.)
