BULLETIN: Over 6.2 Billion People Do Not Join Anti-War Protests

dfu commentary | 2-15-03 | dfu

[doug from upland]

In a totally unexpected development, while several million useful idiots around the globe participated in anti-war demonstrations against the United States, over 6.2 billion people around the world did not participate.

Protest organizers in the U.S., Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, England, Australia, and other countries had no explanation for the pathetic turnout.

Despite the anti-American sentiment, the United States will continue to give food, medical supplies, technical expertise, and billions of dollars of relief to people around the world. Americans will also continue to risk their lives, spill their blood, and fight evil so that the precious gift of freedom will spread everywhere.

Sounds like the non-participants stayed away in droves!

[Paul Atreides]

What a coincidence! They also happen to be the segment of the world population who bathe on a regular basis.

[Rippin]

Very good. But help me here. I usually think I know what is basically going on, but I don't get this. What is it about this imminent confrontation that allows the commies to remobilize so many people? Is it just media spin, or is there some real groundswell among the post-christian western world to commit mass suicide? Can this be explained based on the idiocy of liberals and the whining of the media or something big going on here?

[doug from upland]

I think it is going to take a psychiatrist to really answer the question.

I guess part of it is that there are very foolish people who believe that by just wishing it so, evil will not do them harm. Another part is that there are socialists, communists, and other scum who hate America. In this country, there are still people who can't get over the fact that they lost the 2000 election. They hate George Bush. If Gore were taking the same action, they would be supporting it.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Very good.

Copied, WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S PERMISSION!!!!, and sent on to those folk in my address book who would care....

and asked them to pass the word.

[Libertina]

LOL Thanks Doug, this puts it all in perspective :)

[buffyt]

I even went to a Lincoln Day dinner tonight, where Tom DeLay was our speaker. No peace protests for me! Doug, I noticed you are member #226 on FR. I am member #1471 on FR. We are old timers around here....

The premise seemed to be to teach the kids that all war is bad.
I respectfully disagree. . All war is terrible, but some war is necessary.
Was the Revolutionary War bad? You remember that one, taxation without representation. I’m glad that our forefathers
had the guts to declare independence from England.
And how about the Civil War, does your aversion to war mean that you think there should still be slavery?

DOH - to the media. And 2 billion people didn't buy Quarter Pounders today, but 400 in my town did.

[doug from upland]

Thanks for that great list.

[L`enn]

I imagine a large part of it are people who watched "Born on the Fourth of July", "Forrest Gump", the Woodstock films, etc, and (A.) Either pined they were born too late for those great historical times or (B.) Had such a great time getting lit up and laid then. Now they see their opportunity to relive the 60's.

Just my opinion but I have seen too many of these maggots who were stuck psychologically stuck in the 60's. One read on the psychology of this is that Conservatives wax poetically about the late 50's and early 60's ( solid stable times and moral structures) and Liberals wax poetically for the late 60's early 70's (complete lack of structure and turmoil).

[Letitring]

What Doug said, plus they are PAID by communist front organizations, TAX FREE grants, Iraqi oil money, Mid-Eastern money.

TO FRANCE, GERMANY, BELGIUM, KOFI ANNAN & ALL YOU LEFTISTS--IN CONGRESS, HOLLYWOOD AND OTHERWISE: American Girls and American Guys
We’ll always stand up and salute
We’ll always recognize
When we see Old Glory Flying
There’s a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you’ll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
`Cause we`ll put a boot in your ass
It`s the American way

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Thanks, Toby Keith, for putting this down for us all.

[Rippin]

Excellent list. So, globally speaking, all the turnout is probably based on the commies shooting their (ever decreasing) wadds on this one. Why? Why is this so big to them? Should give us all a hint at least.

[per loin]

Let's straighten up the language. It's not "do not join", it's "boycott".

[3D-JOY]

I have heard people mention their # before. Where do you find it?

[WolfsView]

we should send this as a letter to the editor of all our local papers.
