   If the idea of violent protests don't make you at least little scared I wonder how well you know history. At the same time, real change almost never happens without people putting their bodies on the line.

   The right understands this far better than your average liberal/moderate. To be a moderate is to trust that existing systems will (mostly) work.

   If those system fail? What then? To even consider this is moderate treason.
