Aquarius Sunset by Cal Thomas Posted Jan 30, 2007 The ideologically decrepit anti-war crowd returned to Washington last weekend for a reunion. The older among them abandoned hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of Vietnamese to imprisonment, torture, death and re-education camps. Their demonstrations were encouraging to the communist Vietnamese, sending the message that America lacked the will to win. These aging hippies and their progeny now want to do the same to millions of Iraqis, who have democratically elected their leaders. This is the sunset of the “Age of Aquarius.” Yesterday, when they were young, they were the pampered generation...

Wanna get snarky? (from the site:) To win back Congress and the White House in the next four years, Democrats need to take action now. As Republicans celebrate Bush's inauguration, we organize, preparing to make the next four years see the biggest groundswell of grassroots resistance a president has ever faced.

DFU REPORT FROM L.A. From the above thread in which I described the anti-war protestors as being smelly, FReeper whoknowswhatevil had a great idea. We need to pass out hygiene products to these people. So here is the idea if anyone is up for it. On Sept. 14 at noon at the Federal Building, the smelly, naive fools are going to be demonstrating. We need to procure small samples of toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, and soap to pass out to them. We should come dressed nicely, perhaps the men can be in ties, and work the crowd. Does anyone have...
