The Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime

Sign the call now!

Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.

you'd rename yourself something vague and whimsical if your stinking unwashed stoner hippie dipsquat genetic donors named you something absurd like "Laqueefa Sunbeam" or "Poon Unit" or whatnot...

Godwin's law was triggered. The entire article belongs in the /dev/null file.

I watched this mob of mostly white, washed out hippies, losers and college-aged idiots protest and march in the federal plaza in downtown Chicago. There were as many or more Chicago police surrounding them, in some places two deep, and with a dozen mounted police. They raved and ranted and waved theire signs, etc. It was like a late 60's/early 70's flashback...nauseating. There were very few onlookers other than the media, of course. What a joke.
I was waiting to see if any of them were going to cause trouble, although Chicago cops are known for busting heads and asking questions later...

[Borax Queen]

Very interesting reading - thank you! I hate seeing those hippie scumbags in places like SF. It's strange - their eyes are either vacant or doped up, imo. (Unfortunately, I've been walking by downtown and seen some of this in real life.)

Where do all these vermin come from??

Wow.. typos got me.

This is a party I wouldn't want to be invited to.

Nor would I. Talk about "fringe element" having control over a party......

I always wondered what Rickie Lee Jones was up to.

[PigRigger]

Poor socialist fools; they can't see they and their friends are far more likely to start another Holocaust than the far right....all they have to do is look to history....

They are up to their necks in it, but just because their eyes aren't covered they refuse to acknowledge it.

They live in a reality that just doesn't exist.........

[RoadTest]

Your government has responded to a higher calling than your "legal/illegal" nonsense: the moral law. It has set Iraq free and tied up the aggressors of 9-11 for four years at a cost in American lives that is a record low in warfare.

It has threatened the tyrants of the Islamic middle east with a meeting of their match and they don't like it. And neither do you, and I don't like you, because your saccharine sympathy for terrorists, cutthroats and tyrants is eating away at my country!

[NavyCanDo]

Imagine for a moment that the Republicans win once again in 2008, and retain the legislative branches as well. I think this civil war or violent rebellion is a real possibility.

I will be locked & loaded behind Old Glory

[doug from upland]

Thanks for the report, John. I've been undercover at a few such events. The last one was in L.A. where they had people for Free Mumia, No Blood for Oil, support the janitors, Earth First, PETA, gay lesbian rights, ANSWER, Socialist Workers Party, ACLU, Free Palestinians, higher minimum wage, etc.

It would be a much needed housecleaning that we have needed for a while.

FROM THEIR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --

Q: But aren't there communists in World Can't Wait?

A: Yeah, there are. Supporters of the Revolutionary Communist Party helped initiate it. They're in it because they think it's absolutely urgent to get rid of this regime, that it would both lift a huge burden from the world and would also give people a sense of their own potential power, and they think all that would open up avenues to get to the society they want. Same as a whole lot of other people in World Can't Wait — which, by the way, includes Greens, Christians, Republicans, anarchists, Muslims, Jews, feminists, Democrats, pacifists, and people who claim no affiliation — who also think it's urgent to drive out the Bush Regime and who also think it can help lead to bigger changes that they want in society, coming from their own viewpoints.

But to turn the question around, if you refuse to pitch in to November 2, when you know that this is what has to be done, just because there are communists in it, then you need to think about how well that worked back in Nazi Germany (when the many forces opposed to Hitler could not find the ways to unite). And how exactly would you explain your particular brand of "abstinence only" policy to a prisoner at Abu Ghraib or a teenager in Tennessee who desperately needs an abortion or someone whose mother was killed at a checkpoint near Falluja? And then after you think about that, you need to actually start working on November 2. To stand aside at this point is really unconscionable.
