Thank You, Antiwar Protesters
Posted on Jan. 22, 2003

It was great to see the turnout for the antiwar rallies across the country this past weekend, and the strong media coverage of those rallies that followed. On Saturday, Washington saw the largest protest in the capitol since the Vietnam era, with additional protests taking place in San Francisco, Portland, Tampa and around the world. In addition to these large-scale protests, the lack of a consensus for a war was underscored by such diverse segments of our society as labor unions, Republican business leaders (who recently took out a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal opposing the war) and the nuns in Los Angeleswho staged their own, smaller protest on Saturday. The Bush Administration would like us to think that there is unanimous support for a war against Iraq, but the rallies this weekendshowed us that there is a strong antiwar sentiment growing in this country.

The hundreds of thousands of Americans that protested on Saturday were clearly just a small representation of the millions who weren’t able to protest but who similarly don’t support war in Iraq right now. A new Newsweek poll found that an overwhelming majority of Americans (60 to 35%!) are actually opposed to the war ... hopefully we will no longer be a “silent majority.”

Time and again we have learned that the voices of the people can change the course of history. The people are speaking out, and it finally looks like they are starting to be heard.

She needs to take that knife and whack about 75% of her giant shnooz off. I swear it gets bigger every time I see it. Something must be in the air out there in la la land, Michael Jackson's shrinks and Bab's grows.

Pssst...Babs...why don't you take yourself and your limp liberal friends over to Iraq and volunteer to become human shields???......I doubt you would ever sacrifice your standard of living here in the U.S. for that cause, right Babs?

Yeah...not right now....we want to wait until he nukes more people ...preferable some people in the US.....so we can see that he really does have WMD. Until then...we oppose it.

What a ditz.

So Barbara approves of those rallies, and the people who make presentations in them. That should tell folks all they need to know about Babst.

The left has a gun (the media) and they're not afraid to use it. Constant barrage of Bush's policies (war, tax cuts) are like shelling the beach before the troops go ashore...they are softening up our defenses.

All will be well if we go into Iraq in the next couple weeks. W. is going to have to say the Jan 27 "report" to the UN proves that Saddam is not cooperating, nor is he disarming.

I am supposing that Babs is an actual socialist, perhaps commie, though I don't know that this is documented. But it seems so. Did she protest the war in Kosovo?

I guess "an overwhelming majority of Americans (60 to 35%!)", are not only against the war, but align themselves with Socialist organizers (who sponsered the event) as well, huh???

Well, not that I remmber she didn't. She didn't call for Clinton's resignation like several leftist gubbers have recently either.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! She couldn't. Her mouth was full at the time. She was, ummm, engaged with Der Shlickmeister.

After the most recant election, Sean Hannity predicted this would happen. The Libs are putting on a full frontal assault on anything and everthing this administration stands for. This will continue to happen , but a more rapid pace, right up until the 2004 election. We are just gooing to have to bear it and hope the American people can see through this. The people voted for a shift in power back in November, so that must mean they do see through the Left's agenda. Hopefully, all of this can backfirer on these people.
