Saw a posting on a streetsign on Colorado Blvd. near CU med center advertising a "Peace With Justice" rally. Didn't catch any details, can't find anything on the web.
If anyone has details, please post, and let's organize a counterdemonstration (or "Welcome bin Laden Fan Club" Rally) against these idiotic peaceniks who are threatening our national security.
Thanks, and Eagle's Up!
During my youth (age 16 - 25) I had this philosophy of life that suggested that war protesters (pacifists as we called them in those days)could be as sincere in their beliefs as I was in mine. I thought the war effort in Vietnam was honorable and worthy in goal (even though the Presidents who led the effort really had no goals in it). Surely the military effort to keep a people free from the pure evil and slavery that is communism was an honorable effort.
I no longer am so sure I buy any of my former philosophy. I confess to being completely bewildered as to what is the goal of pacifists these days - for that matter - any day when the conflict is between evil and decency. What are they seeking?
It seems to me that the only thing they want is to save their own necks. There can be no argument they are caring only for "mankind" whatever that is. "Mankind" has alrady spoken. It has said that we have no right to live, and others mean to gain heaven by killing us. I might argue further that some people, such as the Israelis, have already carried the point of this conflict for a good long time.
In addition, in this struggle there isn't anyone to go see, with whom to reason. Maybe if these "pacifists" could convince me there is some way to "reason" through this, I might regain some understanding.
For now, I can't quell this thought that anyone who can watch evil exist, grow and thrive without trying to stop it, or at least supporting those that attempt to stand athwart the evil, well, such people are cowards. It seems they think they can keep their own worthless lives going for one more day if they just say no to the fight. Then they assume some superior mantle by saying they just want to stop the madness. How does what they do stop the madness? Laden wants them just as dead as he wants me.
It's nauseating, as are these people.
Perhaps you can explain to the rest of us how exercising one's free speech at [an alleged] "peace rally" amounts to "threatening our national security."

Also did notice that most of the signs I saw yesterday have apparently been ripped down.
