agreed there. Property rights must be protected. Hence the suggestions I listed about alternative methods to promote.

The suggestion of a lawsuit is using the lefts tactics against them. They sued us to get God out of school, remove references for everything that “offended” them from everywhere, and we are now being innundated with muslim lawsuits for face/head coverings in DMV photos, footbaths in airports, and putting a crucifix in a jar of urine and calling it art.

The teaparties were a start. We are beginning to see we have to fight fire with fire. We used the lefts playbook against them there, and we must use it in situations like this. We, as a group, so strongly believe in the right to free speech, that even when we are offended or silenced, we just walk away, shrugging our shoulders. That is how the left has gained a foothold, and we cannot let them gain anymore.

While the lawsuit will most likely not be successful, it will raise awareness in the area as to the reason this man is prevented from bringing his wares into the mall. That, with the mood this country is in, may be enough to actually make a dent in the malls traffic. People also have the right not to shop there if they are outraged, but how can they be outraged if they don’t know what is going on? The lawsuit is the soapbox.

I do understand and agree with your goals. The tool of choice, the lawsuit as a soap box, is clever, and may be effective. I am just uncomfortable with it. The mall owner is within his rights. I can not sue a man for exercising his rights, and expect my rights to be protected.

It does raise awareness, which is very important to creating a climate of getting people willing to push back.

People have to made aware of what is going on so they can know that their freedoms are being restricted by those opposed to their political views but who still want to take their money.

It least people being aware that this is happening will get people to think more about where they are spending their money, and maybe even ask questions and complain.
