Pacifists are the parasites of freedom-- brilliant! (and true, ofcourse)

Saw it on Fox just a few minutes ago too. Said the big protest is thinning out now. Looks like its not making a big splash. Pretty dull and lifeless like them. Weren't that many people there. Fox opinion poll said 67% suppport Bush and 23% don't in the U.S. The anti-war protestors are losing the battle. HEH HEH

"Those who hold America in contempt for its lack of refinement (this writer always has held the term "American culture" to be an oxymoron) should think carefully about this conclusion. From their founding on Christmas Day 800 AD, when Charlemagne accepted the crown of the revived Roman Empire, the institutions of the West have been formed in response to external threat. The Holy Roman Empire of the High Middle Ages, Tolkien's conscious model for the Kingdom of Gondor, arose in response to the incursions of Arabs in the south, Vikings in the north, and Magyars in the West. Boorish and gruff as the new American Empire might seem, it is an . . . anti-empire (( link // fr post )) populated by reluctant heroes who want nothing more than to till their fields and mind their homes, much like Tolkien's Hobbits. Under pressure, though, it will respond with a fierceness and cohesion that will surprise its adversaries."

Is anybody aware of a counter protest in Yorba Linda at the Nixon Library?

[antaresequity]

I didn't think there was such a thing as a "Former" Marine?...I thought you were always a Marine...either active or retrired or reserved.

How many turned up for the counter-rally?

[Happygal]

How many attended the counter rally?

[lainie]

I don't know -- that audio said "a significantly less number" than the antiwar freaks, but that tells us nothing so far.
