In Detroit, 21 immigrants lost their jobs as meat cutters after attending a similar protest last month.

They have lost jobs or been cited for truancy for joining the hundreds of...

http://www.keithmilligan.net/view.php?id=271 The video works now! Its awesome! We need to get this link to bloggers all over the country. People need to know how "peaceful" the left really is.

Women's Rights Marchers Gather in D.C. 9 minutes ago By ELIZABETH WOLFE, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Tens of thousands of women began gathering for a women's abortion rights rally Sunday as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told several hundred of them the issue is about women gaining full equality. At a pre-rally breakfast, Clinton said the Bush administration is "filled with people" who view the landmark 1973 Roe v.

Iraqi Sunnis warn of holy war if US troops stay on BAGHDAD: Hundreds of worshippers at a leading Sunni mosque in Baghdad on Friday denounced the American occupation of Iraq and vowed to launch a holy war if the troops did not withdraw soon. “We are running out of patience with the Americans here,” said Ammar al-Azami after prayers at the Abu Hanifa mosque, long a stronghold of loyalists to the ousted Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein. “The Americans won’t leave because they are after our oil, water and land. They also want to settle here to protect Israel,” he said....

In fervent herd mentality, his supporters swarmed cities through out the world in praise of keeping Saddam right where he is. With the completion of the rallies, it must have been sweet music to their ears as they heard Saddam speak in praise of them, his “comrades in arms.” And to Hollywood, they...

The war in Iraq is gearing up, and the demonstrators are putting on their best game faces. The big bosses of labor are flummoxed and befuddled. What to do? Historically, labor has supported the president in times of war, including World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm, our first Gulf War. Longshoremen and laborers in hard hats have famously done hand-to-hand combat with the peaceniks of the '60s and stood by the president in times of strife. And, honestly, why not? The billions spent in wartime prime the pump of an ailing economy and are a boon to labor,...
