Any pics of Ponytail from the green party there?

She didn't answer my next question right after that. "Would she let them kill her family?"

From an email by YAF.

Hey YAFers,
I'd just like to thank everyone who came out today to show their support for the war on terrorism and to help protest against those terrorist-loving commies. They showed up almost an hour late with signs saying "Stop U$ Oppresion" , "Stop BUSH", etc. There was also some old hippie Green party member sporting a Mao button who liked to say F*** You a lot. They even brought a dog with a sign that said "Dogs are victims of war too!". Wow, thanks to the leftists to point out those forgotten casualties. Anyway, we marches down Grand River and then on Michigan following their little parade. We got very positive support from the passing cars who flipped off their group and honked and cheered in praise of our group. We had several flags and signs saying stuff like "USA Kicks ASS", "Anti-War = Pro-Terror", etc. We also brought the megaphone which was great fun as it has the power to allow one YAFer to drown out 25 chanting commies. As they continued on the their great trek to the capitol we decided to take cars. We circled around their demonstration no less than 5 times with the megaphone out the window shouting "USA, USA" and "Pick up the pace Commies!". The first time we came by and blasted the siren at them they all stopped marching and stared. They were scared we were gonna throw something at them or something. As you can imagine, it was great fun!

The leftist continued their walk and we went to the capitol for some drinks. Finally the leftists arrived just in time to ruin some poor couples wedding photo shoot that they were taking at the capitol. The cops were there so we couldn't bring the megaphone but we stood between them and the main street the entire duration of their little rally against the war/ racism/sexism/right-wing south american guerillas/bush/homophobia/ U.S. imperialism and whatever other random commie stuff. Afterwards we had a few heated discussions and made our way back home. The left knows their commie antics won't be tolerated in Lansing. Once again, special thanks to everyone who came out. Photos will be up soon. See you guys later,

Ping. These protesters are like the Mississippi; they go on forever.

Dang, I would hate to be so unhappy living in a country that I hate and not be capable of moving. It must be tough.
