For your entertainment, I present: http://www.zombietime.com/9-11_truth_march_power_to_peaceful/ Be sure to check out the videos and links. These photos and videos are the prime reason why no one takes these "peace marches" seriously. People wearing kaffiyehs because they think it's cool - obviously having no idea what they stand for, Latin American communist organizations everywhere, hippie drum circles, selling marijuana-laced candy as though they were funnel cakes, Anarchists, the Black Panther party, socialists, it goes on. These things have nothing to do with peace and they have nothing to do with people being opposed to war. These events are a free-for-all for the nutjobs and the fruitcakes and the hippies that never grew up. While they have a right to gather and make fools of themselves, it amazes me to hear them moan and whine about how the rest of the nation doesn't take them seriously and doesn't listen to them.
OK, seriously, just a couple of comments: 1. You don't have to believe 9/11 was an inside job to think the war in Iraq is a huge mistake. 2. The persons represented in Magnolia's link do not represent the left, any more than holocaust deniers and the KKK represent the right. Now, can we go back to cats wearing tinfoil hats and bunnies with pancakes on their heads? That was lots more fun.
Not who we think represents them but who "THEY" want us to believe represent them. This about conspiracy..isn't it?? You can tell by my avatar....I may be one of "THEY"
I think there's a broad spectrum on each side. I don't think you can point to a particular group or point of view and say this represents the left, or that represents the right. There are many trying to represent each side, and I don't doubt the extremists on both sides would like to think they represent the core beliefs of their side. I just think it is both unfair and irrational to paint either side with a broad brush. It's not helpful to ascribe the views of extremists to the mainstream. We will only begin to come together as a nation when we start listening to each other a little more thoughtfully, rather than having a knee-jerk reaction based on pre-conceived ideas.
OMG....Read before you speak... I find it amazing that the American media does not give much coverage to a higher percentage of Democrat and Republican politician's sons that are serving or have served in the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars! This is a higher percenatage of U.S. Politicians with sons in the military than the general U.S. population! Talk about a personal decision. Amazing young men, who could have done anything with their lives, but have chosen to join the U.S. Military. *Senator Tim Johnson (D- South Dakota) (son, Brooks, Served in Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and now works as an Army recruiter. ) Conflict with Iraq: Some members of Congress have great personal interest in the war *Former Senator & Attorney General John Ashcroft (R- MO) His son, Andy, is in the Navy and has served in the GulF in support of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. This is a little known fact, because Ashcroft did not want to bring unwanted attention to his son and of course the left-leaning media never did a story on it, because that would hurt their agenda of hurting him. fahrenheit fact: Fahrenheit Fact no. 14: Legislative sons in active service Atlas Shrugs: Dinner with John Ashcroft *Senator Christopher Bond (R - Missouri) (son, Sam, is in the U.S. Marines and is currently serving in IRAQ.)
