"McNish, general secretary of the American Friends Service Committee,"

Say what you want but if this is part of the "Society of Friends", i.e. "Quakers", I respect them. Even though they would have us taken over by a flat bellied paddie-wagon full of jihad heads in a mere twenty minutes, they speak through their lives. They never waver in their commitment to pacifism and they have that right. Unfortunately it is up to the rest of us to protect them.

They protest at the gates of our plant regularly. We give them water and the police stop traffic so they don't get hit by cars. They're sort of like cows. They're a different brand of protester than the bolshevik peaceniks, who want anything but peace on American soil.

A number of Quakers, though pacifist, have served bravely under fire in the armed forces as medics.
