"LeBlanc also wants the “peace movement” to help President Obama overcome the opposition to achieving his goal of a world free of nuclear weapons.
The nuclear disarmament movement in the US and around the world is beginning to rebuild, premised on the idea that if President Obama is able to challenge those who want to maintain nuclear superiority, it is going to take a grassroots movement like the one in the 1980s that compelled a nuclear disarmament agreement and moved the US government to sign treaties. Now at this point the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which has been languishing in the Senate for decades since the Clinton administration and has never been brought to a vote again for ratification after it was defeated. As for the START treaty (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) with Russia, which expired in December and is continuing to be negotiated, if that bill is brought before the Senate at this point, just like many other pieces of legislation the Obama Administration supports, it would be doomed.
So we are in the midst of trying to rebuild a grassroots nuclear disarmament movement that can build on the antiwar sentiments that still remain very strong in our country, building on the idea that, in fact, the best way to change US foreign policy is for the US to take steps to reduce its nuclear stockpiles, but to also take some extraordinary steps that would send a signal to the world that the US is ready to begin comprehensive negotiations on a real nuclear convention, a real document that would set the guidelines and the deadlines for nuclear disarmament, total nuclear disarmament.
LeBlanc signals that the “peace movement’s” new direction will begin with a major campaign. Significantly May 1, will be the kickoff date and New York’s far left Riverside Church will be the founding venue."
Stupid is as stupid does.
Thank you for all of your great additions to this thread.
“There is an argument to be made for maintaining a small but useful number of nuclear weapons, but you won’t hear it from the left. Their contention is that nukes are no good and must be gotten rid of in toto.”
Then only our enemies will have nukes.
Those idiots don’t live in the real Communist world. That’s why they’re Leftie utopians residing here. God damn them all.
Don’t have too look far for Commie holidays. Earth Hour is Lenin’s birthday.
This explains why the local chapter of Neighbors for Peace and Justice recently unveiled a new banner exhorting, “Stop Funding War”.
Might as well say, “Support Oppression”.
Wow...never knew that. I learn so much from my fellow FReepers. Very interesting to say the least.
Good one!
Lenin's birthday is on Earth Day, not on the day of Earth Hour. In fact, the very first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 was the 100th anniversary of Lenin's birth.
Yes, you are right. I meant to type “day”. Doing too many things at one time. :-)
Thanks for the info. These commies sure don’t hide their hubris very well.

Just goes to show that Arafat was not a true Muslim.
A true Musselman would never kiss a pig.
Either that or Bigfoot...

Why would anyone believe otherwise? Marxists do what Marxists do.
