   That was symbolically beating a drum that they were doing, just as the   
   old Native American was really doing in their face....   
      
   They were making fun of the OLD guy drumming in the kids face, just   
   incessantly pounding that drum. The old guy was being offensive and   
   aggressive.

   That's Karma   
      
   Liberals are devoid of any conscience and doing good without a   
   conscience is as bad as doing evil without a conscience.
