Just who is it that is violent? Nancy Pelosi alluded to the violence of the tea party participants but yesterday there were riots (not rowdy protesters) where the commies organized "student" protests about college subsidization cuts.

In the 'Day of Action for Public Education' (which college education is NOT), out of work teachers, students and various left wing groups combined to block traffic, conduct 'sit ins', etc. in a flashback to the 1960s.

UCLA professor Sara Melzer joined her students in a walkout from their French culture and writing course because she said she wants to stop what she described as the privatization of public higher education. "It's not just about student fee hikes," she said. "That's the tip of the iceberg."

Professor Melzer apparently doesn't realize that both PRIVATE and STATE colleges (higher education) have coexisted almost since the beginning of higher education on this continent. All of it has to be paid for. The PRIVATE institutions are going concerns. The STATE institutions might not be. Why? Differences in financial management. The STATE institutions depend on subsidization to provide lower cost education. What Prof. Melzer also doesn't realize is that many STATE institutions have endowment funds similar to those of the PRIVATE institutions. However, being firmly attached to the tax payers' teat they spend their endowments on expansion so that the deans can claim more on their resumes.

In a time when the states' revenues are less than before it is only to be expected that expenditures will likewise decrease. However, this is an opportunity that can't be wasted by all these commies. Hence, protests.

Glenn Beck seems to the think that this follows the pattern proposed by "The Coming Insurrection".
