What's up with the guy with the tape on his mouth?

Reminds me of the character Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction.

Great Job, Race!

A few questions/comments...

1. Wouldn’t the world have been better served if the moonbats had stayed home and taken a bath?

2. Those signs they tote- you know, the ones that say “Cost of the War: $XXXX -well, what’s the point? Is there a bargain basement of, or sale on, war?

3. Why weren’t the idjits charged with defacing those memorials?

That is one whiny-looking witch (wanted to use the “B” or “C” words, but the mods have been extremely hair trigger lately....). I would NOT like to wake up next to that.

Boy, is that hangover fool from the 60s fortunate that this West Point mother wasn’t there today!

My son graduated in 1990, and served in the “sandbox” to protect her right to freedom of speech, while he was protecting the rights of innocent Kurds from being slaughtered for no good reason other than not submitting to Saddam.

But, we parents of those who have gone in harm’s way to protect the human rights of others also have the right to protest, even if we do not exercise it as often as we should!

I would have snatched that stringy unwashed hair right off her lousy head, and claimed the same right of speech that she claims.

Too bad most of us parents are too polite to go “toe-to toe” with these fools.

But maybe if we did, perhaps they would get a clue, and shut the “freak” up, realizing that the majority of us will tolerate them in our midst, but only for their right to vote.

They do not have the right to interfere with the majority, who believe that our country, way of life, liberty, tolerance, etc. are worth fighting for!

They also do not have the right to disrespect the efforts of our fine young men and women, who are willing to sacrifice all, after four long years of being tested for their ability to lead.

These “protest fools” need to be shamed, like “tarred, painted, and run out of town on a rail”!

We need to get off our collective backsides, and make it up front and personal with these malcontents.

But, what do you want to bet that my son would have been totally upset if I had raised an embarrasing ruckus on his Graduation day?

Honestly, I think these 60s’ leftovers are a much greater threat to our future, our liberty, than the crazy islamofascists.

I wonder, really, if we can’t get off our collective backsides to stand up to these resident loonies , how can we muster up the will to defeat Al-Quaeda?

It isn’t a rhetorical question, FReepers. These leftovers need to be met with a force (all good Americans) bigger than they, or we may lose what we hold most dear.

Job Well Done, sir!

The "moonbats" are America-hating, Military-hating, Marxists who (with tragic irony) use their first amendment rights to undermine the entire Constitution and our way of life.

Heartiest of congratulations to all graduates of the USMA!

(Should this Marine Dad mention that he has a nephew at West Point who will be graduating in a few years?)

[AliVeritas]

boo-boo, I thought the appeals court ruled against the anti’s protesting there? What happened?

[river rat]

There is a whole lot of cowardly and slanderous ass that needs a severe kicking.....
We have tolerated the bastards for FAR too long.......

[PGalt]

Thanks. FR’s finest support America’s finest!

[swmobuffalo]

“I thought the appeals court ruled against the anti’s protesting there?”

I think they wanted to protest inside the grounds at West Point.

[Volunteer]

What a shock... an antiwar protester is an ugly lesbian.

Gosh, what are the odds of that happening?

[boo-boo kitty]

They planned on going IN to the cermony to disrupt the graduation. (Freedom of Speech?)Their loss kept them in the park and walking through town.

The photos are up at flikr now. The video at google is processing....Enjoy!

Eagles, doves clash at Academy protest

Times Herald-Record
May 27, 2007
Highland Falls — After hours of waiting, the first glimpse of slow-moving police cars down the road, lights flashing, let Tim Woods, 56, know it was time to get ready.

“Now remember, honey,” he said to his 10-year-old daughter, Rebecca, “yell real loud.”

Woods, a retired Army Special Forces soldier, was one of about three dozen protesters gathered on the main strip here yesterday, flags in hand.

As hundreds of anti-war activists gathered down the street to mark Vice President Dick Cheney’s commencement address at West Point with a protest march, Woods and others aimed to protest them.

“Daddy,” his daughter asked as the crowd of banner-holding anti-war demonstraters drew closer, “what are they going to do?”

“Make asses out of themselves,” Woods answered.

It has become a mini-tradition, the anti-war rally during West Point’s graduation. Last year, President Bush spoke, but given how polarizing a figure the vice president is, some organizers thought this year’s demonstration could top 2006’s in size.

“We never know with turnout,” said Michael Sussman, the civil rights attorney who had sued, and lost, for the right to hold this year’s protests inside West Point’s gates. “It’s just important we’re here.”

In the end, about 300 to 400 marchers joined Sussman in a display of symbols and slogans that have become familiar: faux flag-draped coffins, “Impeach Cheney” placards and

“Stop the War” T-shirts.

But it was the appearance of the Gathering of Eagles group, and its supporters, that changed the tone of this year’s demonstration.

Standing on the corner of West Point Highway and Veteran’s Way, an alley’s length from the anti-war camp, a dozen of the Eagles taunted the other side with a bullhorn.

“Hey, Peace Nazis,” yelled Jim Bancroft, an ex-Marine and Gathering of Eagles coordinator from Connecticut, into the megaphone. “War freed the slaves! War saved the Jews! Anti-war racists go home!”

Bancroft and others in his group singled out members of the anti-war group: demanding women to tell them why they didn’t support Iraqi women’s right to vote, calling the father of a dead U.S. soldier a “disgrace to his son” and branding members of Veterans for Peace traitors.

A few war protestors provoked to anger had their pictures snapped flipping Bancroft off. One gray-bearded anti-war marcher in an Army uniform smiled, turned around and tugged his pants down a bit, giving the counter-demonstrators a half-moon.

Sussman urged his group to ignore the vastly outnumbered Eagles, who had a handful of members dress in pink, as the Raging Grannies anti-war activists do, only to clown ridiculously and mock the peaceniks.

Down the road near West Point’s Thayer Gate, Woods, his wife and daughter and others waited. Police had decided the war protestors must keep to the sidewalk during their march. The anti-protester group held ground as close to the sidewalk as possible, forming a thinly-manned gantlet.

Anti-war U.S. flags brushed pro-war U.S. flags, and shoulder brushed counter-demonstrating shoulder.

“Cowards,” yelled some Eagles as anti-war demonstrators filed by. “Morons!”

Police reported no arrests and by noon, the anti-war crowd was in the park again, listening to speakers or packing up their cars. The Eagles group was down the street, hugging each other goodbye.
