Folks, while supporting the troops, remember, not all of our enemies are across the water and in Hollywood. This is part of a paper published by Harry Browne and the libertarian party today:

George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Perhaps a corollary of that axiom should be: Those who know only historical slogans should quit using them to support their causes.

For example, amateur historians remind us impatiently that the reason Iraq must disarm (which no one else is doing) is that Hussein promised to disarm at the end of the Gulf War in 1991.

Of course, they neglect to tell us that the "promise" was made at the point of a gun. You don't "freely" give your money to a mugger when he says, "Your money or your life." Promises and actions that are coerced are morally meaningless.

But citing Hussein's promise isn't the only way history is misused.

History is invoked to justify the U.S. starting a war against a foreign country (Iraq in 1991, Serbia in 1999, and now Iraq again) because "history tells us" we have to stop the latest incarnation of Adolf Hitler before he proceeds to conquer the entire world. As though Serbia or Iraq could be compared to the power of Hitler's Germany.

And the history-sloganeers remind us over and over that millions of lives would have been saved if only the Allies had stopped Hitler at Munich.

A historical slogan can be a wonderful thing. It allows you to reduce all the complexities created by billions of people to a simple equation of Good vs. Evil, white & black, us & them.

OK hhc...we'll see what we can do...depending on our location...

But you're right, the cops always put us far away from the wackos...I will play it by ear...

But I just love workin the commies into a frenzy, with their foaming, obscene mouths spewing their hate...

[hellinahandcart]

I will be striving for contrast with the unwashed and their nasty signs.

I may even wear pearls. Weather permitting. ;D

[KLT]

The pearls would look great.....Will try to keep my signs low key as well....Maybe I'll wear my pearls, and we can be like twins...LOL

OKAY!! Got it!!!

Our final spot is Trygve Lie Plaza, which is at the southwest corner of 42nd Street and First Avenue.

There are no sound permits being issued for any group other than the anti-Americans. We will have access to heavy traffic, however, on both First Avenue and 42nd Street, so make those signs big and clear.

The reason we can't be in front of the UN is that they are securing that entire area. The weirdos are not being allowed to use Dag Hammarskjold Plaza either.

Cacique, please change the flyer and the recorded message and post the new thread if you could, with the new flyer on it.

Aye carrumba! I just printed up a small bunch at Kinkos to take to the NYYRC tonight! :)

[firebrand]

Thank you for doing this. Robert just sent out his reminder notice with the new information, so all is probably OK. He will announce the change too tonight.

Although if you feel like just adding the new information to each one, I will supply the Ben-Gay.

Pssssst. Though I initially thought the poster is great....check the fine print. If you are photoshop saavy you can chop that stuff out and the poster still works.

[firebrand]

We're still near the UN, though. We're catty-corner from the sucker. So the flyer is not wrong, just not as accurate as it could be and soon will be.

I think you misundertood. I was referencing the Clone Wars poster takeoff of Star Wars with Bush and the gang. The poster itself is fine but when you read the fine print at the bottom, it has a bunch of leftie garbage. I am pretty sure it was created by a leftist.

The FREEP Poster looks great!

[hellinahandcart]

LOL. We have the entire UN separating us. LOL. And our pictures will be better, cuz we'll be closer.

[God luvs America]

Will this be posted on the front of this site or somewhere on this board other than this post? PS: One of my signs for Saturday: Germany-France
Allies?? No
Pararsites!!

[firebrand]

Plus there's an overpass nearby, in case it snows.

[hellinahandcart]

Yes, Cacique will put the new thread up shortly.
