Since then, the reaction I’ve heard from Bay Area activists has shared a common disappointment: “I thought I lived in a liberal city that would celebrate human-rights activism.”

It’s odd that the activists don’t celebrate China. After all, that regime is exactly what the activists have been protesting for since the 1960′s. The activists want totalitarian thugs running the show. Why turn on their version of Eden now? If they really celebrated human rights they’d protest for property rights, for gun ownership, for capitalism, and for freedom. Instead, their all inclusive slogan is “Thugs of the World Unite!”.
