It's time that we stop calling them 'peace protestors' and come up with something more accurate. Prefereably printable and relatively G rated.

Terrorist sympathizers?

It's our own fault. Giving the anarchist-peacenik fringe 16 months to get themselves in gear - to say nothing of Saddam, the N. Koreans, the Yemenis and Venezuela - was a disastrous tactical error. IMHO.

This whole thing should have been over at least 6 months ago. We've lost the edge.

So nice that these spoiled, self-centered babies have the priviledge of descrating the FLAG.

In Pyongyang, Beijing, Havana, Islamabad, Mecca, or Medina they would be gunned down in the streets and their relatives would be forced to lick up the blood just before they got sentenced to a labor camp.

The results of this last Presidential Election are REAL, the numbers of the "I HATE AMERICA" crew continue to grow.

If you really want to understand the SOURCE of this hatred and "self-centered dysfunctional SELF ESTEEM" look no further than YOUR college textbooks or YOUR kids current K-12 textbooks.

I take it reporting accurate numbers would let people know just how far from the mainstream these idiots are.

What pisses me off is that the Libs want to steal my money to support these losers. Get a job bums, get off your ass, get our fingers out of my wallet!

Look at the proposed tax cut, the Libs complain about the Rich. Well let’s examine the real story. It’s the workers of the country who support the non-workers. People are rich because they work..........oh no a four letter word, WORK. Losers learn the meaning of the word WORK, and then you can make money also! These losers cannot find a job that they want, these losers cannot make enough money to pay for their actions and responsibilities, these losers cannot work when it’s better to just party. Then when their living expenses come due, they show up with their hands out.

Well why should our country listen to the losers of the world? It’s time to support the winners, the rich. Ask yourself these simple questions, do you want to be rich or poor? Do you want to be a winner or a loser? Well its time to stop listening to the loser, after all what have they ever done to be successful? If they were ever successful then they would not be losers. Let’s follow the successful; let’s follow the winners!

P.S. Losers, whenever you become successful, whenever you become a winner come back and I’ll listen. Until then shut up!

PJ O'Rourke used to call them 'peace creeps', which is good, but doesn't address the fact that they're not at all about peace. 'Anti-American creeps' is more to the point, but too wordy.

Limbaugh calls them the 'hate America crowd', IIRC. 'Blame America Firsters'. Hmm.

BUMP!

If FReepers go to "Yahoo - News Photos - Most Popular" we can boost the popularity of this photo (registered Yahoo users can rate the photo from 1-5, it's already on the top page).

Looks like some viewers are voting it "down"

No, alot were the same damned people. They were miserable back then, they are miserable today and the intend to make everyone equally miserable. They won't be happy untill everyone lives in the same highrise public housing, ride public transportation, subsist of some vegie crackers and are healed by herbal medicine.

Amen to that. Just try wading through the leftover 1960's hippy bilge that passes for instruction in today's schools. Unfortunately, conservatism requires a more mature mind. About the only things you can do is explain world events to your kids, stock up on good books, and encourage them to keep reading.

My estimate was mid-to-high tens of thousands. Others have disagreed.

There sure were a lot of them, though, weren't there?

And you are absolutely right, the demonstration had everything to do with Bush and very little to do with "peace".

FLY your flags (and a British one, too)....and put up your BUSH/CHENEY signs, (and the BIG W's on your SUV's) for the STATE of the UNION next Tuesday, if you support the President and the United States of America.

I vote for "revolutionaries". It's what they call themselves and fits with their agenda of destroying the current government.

Now that the pollution has dissipated from the September “anti-war” fruitcake convention in D.C., and it’s time to reflect on their professed message of patriotism.

If they are indeed patriotic they sure have a strange way of showing it. They seem to be a bit confused as to the concept of patriotism and what constitutes legitimate dissent.

The repertoire of 21st century flower children includes burning the flag, cheering the Taliban and al Qadea, slandering the victims of 9/11 and loathing the military. To punctuate the latest event, a three-ring circus of moonbats pranced around in their Code Pink tutus, silly skeleton masks, and hoisted the requisite “Bush is Hitler” signs. The “grieving mother” Cindi al Sheehani joined the fray, continuing with her mission of prostituting her brave Soldier son’s memory to the Left.

University academic intelligentsia is chock-full of left-over ‘60s radicals like Ward Churchill, who use their classrooms as bully-pulpits for neo-bolshevism. Their idea of intellectual diversity is to berate and ostracize student apostates who don’t share the same political deformities.

Boy, those Ivory Tower Bohemians are sure smarter and more deserving than the “flyover” states, huh?


Not to be outdone, some Hollywood hambones have lent their worldly “expertise” on foreign policy, invoking their own unique angle on civics from any stage available, even if it’s one masquerading as “hurricane relief”.

On that note: Ms. Midler, call your proctologist, he found your head.

You can’t blame them entirely. Put them on stage in front of a sympathetic audience (no dissent allowed, of course), and they get a sense of relevance that doesn't exist after the director yells "CUT"!

Let’s not exclude the daily parade of Democratic Party wackjobs and their churlish cohorts who pop up like jack-in-the-boxes in front of the nearest T.V. camera; Charles Rangel: "George Bush is our Bull Connor” , Cynthia McKinney: "The entire 'Saving Private Lynch in Iraq' episode was staged by the US military”, Patty Murray: “bin Laden builds day-care facilities…we haven’t done that”, Nancy Pelosi: “Bush guilty of Katrina cover-up”, Sheila Jackson-Lee: “Names like Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Sam and Hurricane Wanda are just too white and, all racial groups should be represented.", Al Sharpton: “Fidel Castro is a great leader.", and Louis Farrakhan: “The New Orleans levees were blown up by the government”.

Dick Durbin, Harry Reid and Howard Dean don’t often pass up the chance to enlighten us with their perspectives, either. They’re frustrated; reduced to hurling playground taunts from the sidelines when the adults are in charge of running the country.

If this fine collection of politicians is indicative of the “leadership” embraced by the Democratic Party, they can expect continued election losses ad infinitum. The egotistical incompetents of the left would never dare to praise the U.S. or show gratitude for what they’ve got when bizarre, obscene, unappreciative behavior will do.

Never underestimate their ability to ejaculate Bush-bashing or al Qadea apologetics from something as politically unrelated as a hurricane report. When CNN’s Soledad O’Brien commented that Katrina evacuees housed at the Houston Superdome were ‘worse off than beheading victims in Baghdad’, the MSM added one more item to its stupid column.

The left’s “love” for this country orbits around the guaranteed right to spew all the things they hate. Here’s just some of what they hate: The country, (“It’s not worth fighting for”) American history, democracy, President Bush, SUVs, President Bush, people who question their opinions, and oh, did I forget to mention President Bush?

Then there’s the special hate category they’ve reserved for the military; denigrating the sacrifices of those sworn to protect them and reap the benefits without having to put their own lives on the line. The convenience of it all is mind-boggling.

Newsflash: Marching with anti-American/pro-Islamofascist signs and screaming the usual recitations in a free country doesn’t take a lot of guts.
For all of the bluster, they would never, for one minute, live under the system they advocate. Their identity is mired in the anti-American neurosis part and parcel to the lunatic fringe. If their intention is to reflect their patriotism, the method could use some work.

Maybe it’s just their version of ‘destroying democracy in order to save it’.
