The growing Anti-Antiwar movement

Filed in National by on March 16, 2008

This is the kind of article I’d expect to see in the Snooze Journal. None the less, I found it amusing.

Chanting such slogans as “surrender is not an option” and waving American flags, a few hundred people from across the country rallied and paraded in downtown Washington yesterday to support the war.

“We cannot be the silent majority again,” Lawrence B. Hoffa of Mequon, Wis., a retired Marine who serves as Southeast coordinator of Eagles UP!, said at the rally on the grounds of the Washington Monument. “We’ve got to get more people here. We’ve got to get people motivated.”

The silent Majority? These people are too funny

Debbie Lee, whose Navy SEAL son Marc Alan Lee was killed in Iraq in August 2006, urged the demonstrators to stand up against antiwar organizations such as Code Pink, which she asserted are “trying to destroy our military.”

ahhhh, nothing the smell of Napalm in the morning!

    You missed a “like”. If you like, you can borrow one of these two.

    When Bush said “mission accomplished” did he mean saving the nation or did he mean saving the value of the dollar through military keynesianism? Can someone advise me on that issue….

    The cancerous part of this type of thing is that we have 14% of Americans who have made a clean break with reality and it is not just along an “Iraq war” fault line.

    These folks have given up “thinking” “discussing” “reasoning” and “compromising” on any number of issues. And for a Democracy to work you need parties that will debate, think, reason and compromise in good faith.

    George Bush with a lot of help from people like Mike Castle (who knew better, but did nothing) have poisoned the well of American politics.

    There has been a sea change in this country from an attitude of “we all want whats best for the country, but we see different ways of getting there” to “any dissagreement is treason.”
