Going the long trek to church each Sunday is nothing, to them. Being a solidly good person, albeit invisible to media cameras, is boring and "futile". But marching in the streets is really the "happening"?
In my kindergarten and on up through grammar school. Every halloween, we could wear our costumes to school. And at a very specific time (just before lunch), the teachers would blow a whistle and we'd all march, all classes, in a single line around the blacktop. This was an exciting and big deal to us.
Fast forward -- anti-war protestors. Adults. Dressing up and marching on the blacktop streets of cities, and trying to "frighten" people.
Years ago, when the book "Everything I learned, I learned in Kindergarten" came out -- oh the swooning! eek. The mere title of the book rubbed me raw. I had to avoid conversations about this book; it was quite popular. I wondered then if I had a cynical streak. I didn't, and I don't. I simply grew up. 2nd law of thermodynamics applies: water seeks its own level.
I find the hypocrisy of this whole protest shameful, and manipulating.
Where were these same people when Clinton bombed Bosnia?
And it just slays me that they don't see a lot of these groups funding these rallies that are trying to manipulate the masses to speak out against this administration. Weakening our position world wide.
Where were the outcries of the victims of Huessein's brutality?
Leaves you breathless.
