WATCH: Greenpeace Hangs Banner on Mt. Rushmore
July 08, 2009 2:30 PM
The video below, shot by Greenpeace, shows their volunteers hanging a banner near President Lincoln on Mt. Rushmore. The banner reads: "America Honors Leaders, Not Politicians. Stop Global Warming." Freedom of speech or trespassing?

Was that banner green? These people are way off track with their thoughts. Would they be willing to live out all the modern convenience? I don't think so. Give me a break, in the 70's it was global cooling now it's global warming. It's really all about global economics and how it can hurt the working class in the USA. Nothing more!

Personal liberty protects their freedom of speech, but not their right to trespass to express it. Throw the book at them. I would think that even if global warming was not an elaborate hoax.
