Preparing the next Vietnam: "Peace" protestors are socialists by another name

If you want to see the current state of the anti-American protest movement, log on to http://www.9-11peace .org/petition.php3. That is how the protest against the Vietnam War might have begun, had the Internet existed at the time.

I first received news of the campaign from Germany, where a producer of the Second German Television Network (ZDF) is leading the charge. It is in the form of a petition to the U.S. government to cease and desist from taking action, and is already posted in six languages. Arabic is not one of them.

"All we are say..............ing, is give.....peace..... a..... chance......"

[A grim backdrop as the people sing their little song.]

People on fire, jumping to their deaths from high buildings to end the pain, dead flight attendants with blood spilling from their necks, 'hostages' in planes seeing buildings coming closer and closer at a tremendous rate, a weeping nation on it's knees in prayer, fire fighters and police watching a building collapse on their brethren, runs on gas sations at $5 a gallon, and the knowledge that there will continue to be more of the same in the future. Yet the brain-dead song drones on. Did they sing that song in the airplanes? Dead bodies on a floor stained with gallons of blood? Not a chance. AMERICA WAS IN THOSE PLANES!

Lenin called them "useful idiots" as he began his terror campaign against the Russian people. Use their resources, their freedoms, their facilities to destroy them; the current versions of the dead Bolshevik's mindless supporters were on display in Washington yesterday.

I was wondering if they would still be so dedicated to peace if a Suicide Bomber walked into their ranks and set the bomb off.

But, of course. I use the youth of America as a sort of contrarian gauge of how well things are. The more the naive and inexperienced gripe and complain, the better things must be. When one sees spoiled rotten children protesting in the streets to "Protect the Rats," you know few legitimate issues remain. I guess the next best thing to a real issue, is re-living and re-hashing the past.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I wish this author would have interviewed David Horowitz, an ex-commie ... a founder of the New Left in the 1960s. Horowitz was even more radical and idealistic than most of the commies that marched yesterday. But, predictably, all that zeal and idealism was tempered by reality once he acquired enough experience to see how things actually worked ... instead of the way he thought things ought to work.

They're so progressive, they want to go back to the 1960s.

Apparently 7,000 innocents dead wasn't enough to shake the bong smoke from their addled minds. Some men are born weak, here you see the runts of our litter. I'll give the women a pass, there's no excuse for the men.

To: George Orwell on Peaceniks in Great Britain in 1942
p>When Orwell made these comments, France and all of Europe had fallen to the facists. It was known throughout the world that Jews were being slaughtered. London had been under aerial attack, and the UK was struggling to defy being overrun by the Germans!

During these dark days, those who professed peace and to just give a chance were very vocal as the English leaders struggled to keep their country and countrymen alive. That is the background to Orwell's comments and why he made these comments! His 1942 comments are even more appropriate today with the anarchists and other so called peace scum rioting in America! p> In 1942, George Orwell wrote, in Partisan Review, this of Great Britain's pacifists: "Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist.

"This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me."

Replace pro-facist with pro-Arab Mass Murderers and you have Orwell updated to describe Clymers like Ramsey Clark and our so called peace niks and their hatred of America/Americans and their love of America's Enemy's, like the Arab Mass Murderers of 9/11!

Ramsey Clark and these so called peace niks are the real terrorists in America with what he/they have done since Viet Nam and 9/11.

Go to David Horowitz's www.frontpagemag.com and read the ad he's submitted to several college newspapers regarding the "peace movement." Horowitz, a former Left-wing tool himself, presents a compelling case against such morale-sapping activities.

Balint bump. Balint is a true patriot. I've greatly admired him ever since I heard him tell the world on Blanquita Cullum's radio show, The BQ View, that Hildebeast and Slick are flaming Commies.

They're out there, all right. My daughter's college (Univ. of Wi.-Whitewater) already had an "anti-hate" rally.

I have seen a few posts here and elsewhere that classify as "hate" speech--but not all that many. (Perhaps FR is not a good measure--most here seem to use their brain.)

But one must ask the question: just exactly WHO is doing all this "hating?"

One group, of course, is BinLadin and his gang--perhaps 1000 total very close to him.

Another is perhaps another (few) thousand (???) in the USA.

The purpose of these demonstrations, of course, is to establish a 'straw man.' Those who wish to see BinLadin executed (or at least in jail forever) are categorized as "haters." It's a wonderful trick, used by propagandists for thousands of years. Not at all dissimilar to the way certain FR posters classify as "anti-Semite" anyone who DARES question US aid to Israel.
