My boss tells me, "Don't come to me with a problem unless you also have a solution." Here are the "solutions" proposed by the so-called anti-war crowd. Pinning these people down by asking them point-blank questions throws them for a loop, because they are so used to spouting empty slogans.

Twenty phone calls later, here is the entire list of “peace plans” suggested by “peace activists”: pray; pray; hope the Islamo-fascists just stop killing us; negotiate with Osama bin Laden, then pray; close our borders to “bad” immigrants (caller wasn’t sure how to find the “bad” ones, but didn’t want to stop Arabs from coming to the United States); surrender — and no, the caller did not have a French accent; fly every world leader to Baghdad to ask Saddam to leave; focus our mental energies on peace as we enter the “Year of the Sheep” (I swear I’m not making that up); and finally, invade Israel and force them to accept whatever the Arabs demand in order to stop terrorism.

Ping!

There is only one group of Americans I’ve seen who have a reasonable, though imperfect, plan for peace. They wear matching uniforms, carry guns, and when they march, it’s under an American flag.

Yep, they have the best, most time-tested, most practical and most realistic plan for peace.

Good grief, I laughed so hard that I have peanut-butter sandwich lodged in my sinuses.

[eyespysomething]

Exactly. All that needsd to be asked of these people is, well, what should we do instead. Calling Martin Sheen...

[wimpycat]

Check out his archives in the link provided. He's hilarious.

And check out his book Redneck Nation: How the South Really Won the War, if you think your sinuses can stand it.

Thanks for sharing.....this was very enlightening

Scary that one person's plan is to invade Israel instead of Iraq. The left has become so anti-Semitic

[zingzang]

Looks like the media can no longer ignore the abject stupidity of these socialists marching for "peace" all over the place. Hopefully the exposure will continue and shift the attitudes of those who are still sitting on the fence about killing Saddam.

I sometimes like Graham's stuff but to me he acts like he feels guilty that he's from the South. Graham also defended Bill Maher remarks about 9/11 on his show. He says Maher is a good friend of his. I'm glad he left Charleston.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They are typical of leftists America-hating peace protesters everwhere. The left has been devoid of ideas for years.

It is their own fault because the left attracts people who let their emotions decide their course instead of their brains. Which they never learned to use BECAUSE THE LEFT CONTROLS THE SCHOOLS where the mission is to dumb down America!

[wimpycat]

Even Rush Limbaugh defended Bill Maher's remarks...at least, he defended Maher's right to say them.

If you read his book, you'll find that he apparently used to feel guilty being Southern, but after seeing what the rest of the country is like, he's adjusted his attitude. At least, that's his shtick...who knows how he really feels about it.

[Billthedrill]

Well, that certainly tracks with my experience. I've taken to asking the "War Is Not The Answer" crowd with "OK, you got a better idea?" The only one I've asked so far - of maybe twenty or so - told me earnestly that international sanctions could take care of it. That would have been more persuasive if I hadn't recalled her saying only last month that sanctions have killed 500,000 Iraqi kiddies...

[demosthenes the elder]

simply brilliant. I wish I had one tenth this fellow's wit.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Priceless!

[mhking]

That's priceless! I love it!

[wimpycat]

Exactly. They have no real clue as to what they want. The only thing they are clear on is that if Bush is for it, it must be wrong.

[demosthenes the elder]

that's such a wonderful feeling, isn't it? even better than coffee-coated sinuses. ;)

Graham was the local Rush follow on in the Charleston SC market. I used to listen to his show often and he didn't let up on slamming Southerers. It would be the same thing if a local Washington DC talk host hated crack heads. Judging from his show the Amazon user comments on his book weren't far off. He was replaced by Greg Allen a host from Iowa, a much better fit.

[mykdsmom]

Funny....thanks for the ping.

Thank you. I needed that.
