Actually, a two wing activist.
According to the Audubon Society, the podium crasher is a female House Finch. That girl has guts!

If I am correct she is also an original native American and she as such had as much, nay more of a right to express herself via her peaceful prescience at an event regarding policies that may well affect her tribe in either a positive or negative fashion.
We should all look upon this activist with respect for her conduct, approach and peaceful methods.
Also I might note, that although she may have disrupted this event, I do not believe she did so with hostile intent toward the speaker, as even the writer of the article above noted, she is not only a left winger but enjoys a dual wing status, not unlike a Socialist wing and a Capitalist wing woven together in a such a harmonious balance that her very movement has taken flight via the combination of the two! Much like the speaker, as well as I might add a political Icon who also shared such a two winged approach to our nations woes, a political icon named Franklin D Roosevelt!
I proudly stand with Ms. House Finch as well as her brave activism, she got her message across well and peacefully and I solute her for it!

(2,872 posts)Almost wish I had the time to go bird-watching, but I barely have the time to be doing the things I want to be doing between work and political things. Not sure why I continue bothering with sticking my arms to the shoulders in it anymore, to be fair.
