The leftwing news media hyped the leftwing march in New York in a predictable manner. "We the People Say No to Bush" was the lead headline in Salon.com. "Vast Anti-Bush Rally Greets Republicans in New York," was the lead headline in The New York Times. "Anti-Bush Protesters Fill NY Streets," was the lead in The Los Angeles Times. An opening rally for the President led by Vice President Dick Cheney, former NY Mayor Rudi Giuliani and New York Governor George Pataki was buried in both Times and ignored by Salon.
Which raises the interesting question, Who are the "people?" If the American people are 95% college age scruffians who think their leaders are war criminals, maybe Salon has a point. The NY Times actually conflated the street radicals with the Democratic Party itself calling the march "a heavily Democratic street protest." According to the Times, "the marchers carried placards calling Mr. Bush 'the next Milosevic'" referring to a head of state currently in dock before a War Crimes Tribunal. The marchers also could be heard chanting "Fox News sucks."
The Times has a point. The Democratic Party has nominated a man who indicted his whole country, including its highest officials as war criminals more than thirty years ago. The Democratic Party leadership has accused the President of "lying" to conduct a war that was unnecessary in order to line the pockets of his friends. Although neither Times mentions the fact (since they share the agendas of the marchers) the organizers of the protests in New York are the same anti-American, totalitarian-sympathizing radicals who organized the anti-Vietnam protests back then, and who willingly helped the Communists to power on the grounds that America was the greater evil.
The result was the slaughter of two and half million people by the Communists in the first three years of the "peace." American "progressives" did not hold a single street march or protest of this genocide by their erstwhile allies. Having learned nothing in their political lives from the atrocities they sponsored, they are as self-righteous as ever. Now they are proposing the same solution -- American withdrawal -- for the war on terror in Iraq. If they are successful -- and electing Democrats is the surest way to make them successful -- there will be another bloodbath. This bloodbath will take place in Fallujah and Najaf, where the supporters of freedom will suffer a savage fate; but it will also take place in Washington and New York, where Islamic radicals will not make fine distinctions as to who were their enemies and who their progressive brothers and sisters.

Oh, and as Rush Limbaugh has pointed out, you didn't see one American flag flying. The only such flags in evidence were draped on the coffins paraded to represent the American dead. Obviously Bush killed them, and the terrorists are just figments of rightwing imaginations. The symbolism is all too clear. The American flag is useful to tug at American heartstrings when you want Americans to surrender. Otherwise its the flag of empire -- the enemy.
The ABB crowd and Michael Moore Democrats who are the mainstream of today's Democratic Party might be more accurately described as Hate America Democrats. They see nothing good about our country or its leaders. The reason they want to defeat President Bush has nothing to do with his character or policies but everything to do with their warped view of America. It was all in evidence during their protests in New York last week. No dear Freepers and Friends, it was NOT the Bush Administration that was on the receiving end of their derision and hate it was America and all who love her and consider her to be the shining city on the hill and the greatest country in the history of the world. The calling of this year to deal the anti-America Left a shattering defeat at the polls in November.

In my psych class last semester, we were discussing Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. I argued that "safety" should be the first. How can you see to your own comforts of food, water, etc., without the safety to go about to get them? Also according to survival experts - isn't your first need "shelter?"
Other than that, self-esteem, and "respect" are only achieved after the others are attained.
So, Mr. Young and Informed: If you really are informed - you would know that!

I think that was the darkest moment of my life as I listened and watched Chrontrite finally run up the White flag with the Communist Star. I was drinking a bottle of beer and hurled it at the TV but missed and punched a hole in the sheet rock behind it...
Is a communist ideology threatening America again?
