Do me a favor: stop trying to save my brother
War bonds, a must read by, Christopher Frizzelle.
Two weeks ago I attended many of the peace rallies downtown. The asinine rhetoric I encountered ranged from uninformed – a protester with a teardrop painted on her cheek told me that an Iraqi elementary school had just been destroyed by a U.S. bomb; this happened, as near as I can tell, in her imagination – to unintentionally hilarious: “We are not here protesting today, we are here evolving into better human beings,” cried out one speaker, who went on to declare, incongruously, “There’s a whole generation being born right now with no heads!”
On national television, too, the stupidest shit just falls out of people’s mouths, unchallenged. “I’m horrified that our country right now is killing more people than were killed in September 11, by a long shot,” said one protester recently. This was completely untrue, by a long shot. Later a protester in Times Square told an interviewer, “We clearly don’t live in a democracy anymore.” She said this completely without irony, despite the fact that she had just participated in a massive march through the largest city in America and was now being given an opportunity to express her political opinion to the entire world, live, on CNN. Someone needs to fax that woman a definition of democracy, attached to a copy of the latest poll about the war. Maybe she’s confusing democracy with consensus, or maybe she’s just not used to not getting her way.

Yeah, a punch of people protesting against terrorism being executed in their names, while their country’s president think ‘Jesus’ talks to him and tells him to kill even more Iraqis is the greatest example of ‘democracy.’
Oh, and thanks for letting the woman appear on TV. Gotta give the credit!!

There are total idiots on both sides.
“one speaker, who went on to declare, incongruously, “There’s a whole generation being born right now with no heads!—
I love the irony. (My meaning here is that this person is talking about his or her self without knowing it)
President Bush’s speeches this type of irony all the time.

“I thought of abortion!”
Fantastic. That’s the kind of thinking I want to see more of. I didn’t come to me at first, but you are absolutely right.

snowy egret;
I’ve been reading your posts for years. Are you ever going to progress? Are you ever going to learn anything? Frankly; you’re not that smart. You need to calm down and try to look at all the issues you think you know everything about a little harder.
Honestly; I don’t think you ever read responses to your posts. If you had slightly different parenting; you would be at a “peace protest”screaming about ‘evil America’.

Zelda Does always being mean and sarcastic make you feel good somehow?

It’s almost a shame that the very recipients of the gift of liberty paid for with the blood of our ancestors are ignorant not only of the gift but of the cost that has been paid to give it to them? It has been written that the tree of liberty must frequently be fed with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Those who scream about the war against the Islamofascists are ignorant of the cost of failure in it. Just this week one Al Quaeda leader declared that Allah will not be satisfied until they are sitting atop the White House.
While a war on US soil is unlikely, it would make me incredibly angry to have to defend these self same fools from those who they currently seek to make victorious.

“Zelda Does always being mean and sarcastic make you feel good somehow??
Thank you for your question. If you are referring to my post to snowy egret; I don’t think I was being mean or sarcastic. Honestly I think the guy should grow a little; mature perhaps. Maybe no one has ever told him. Perhaps he has never even considered that he is anything other than brilliant. I don’t consider what I wrote him to be mean. I consider ignoring his ignorance and stupidity to be mean. Ignoring those issues is what a liberal Democrat would do.
However; to answer your question from a broader standpoint: Yes; it does make me feel good to be mean and sarcastic sometimes. But what makes me feel even better is to read a point of view that I had never considered before.
