My wife and I decided to go and greet the nice Sheehan/ANSWER crowd as they marched on the 17th in Washington DC. It turns out that they march every year in protest of the overthrow of any tyrants, unless of course it is a liberal that started the war. It is quite different to see it in person rather than on the Internet or to read about it, so here is my impression.
Never in my life have I seen anything more amusing. Now I have to admit I found it to be a little sad at the same time. The only reason I felt any sadness was that the peace protestors were actually sincere. Every one of them had the same level of sincerity etched on their normally blank faces as one might see on a three year old wondering if it would really hurt if he rode his tricycle down a four hundred foot flight of stone steps.
One of the sad things about being stupid or misled is that you don’t know why everyone is laughing at you. This is not much different from what the sixties were all about. They weren’t running short on drama queens. As a matter of fact they started their little freak show with one of the greatest shows of self-indulgent cowardice I’ve ever seen. The media, and I have no idea which ones they were, pointed their cameras at an angle that showed the number of protestors who were there, but also made sure they didn’t show how many of us were there to greet them. Playing for the camera, and just for the drama of it, the lame-o moon bats had some girls, and a lot of people that looked and acted like girls in some cases, protecting them. They had linked hands and wearing fluorescent yellow (the only honesty I really saw there) vests, and acted as human shields since we were obviously going to run out there and beat them up. The funny part is that those girls probably had the most nerve out of the whole stinky bunch. As slow as they were moving they are probably still marching towards the Pentagon with the speed of a snail in snow. The reason they did that was obvious. It made their small numbers look bigger. The only reason they took so long to pass was because they kept slowing down and stopping, and then grinding into movement. It was intentional. If they had walked at a normal speed they would have finished in ten minutes max.
But I might be wrong. The reason they were so slow may very well be because they are just slow. If they weren’t a little slow they wouldn’t have been there in the first place, at least not on the side they were on.
It was quite impressive to see the solidarity shown by the leftists though. I’m sure that’s what they think it is. In actuality the only solidarity there was in the fact that they are all ‘counter anything American’ dimwits. The signs ranged from “In the world struggle of the worker there are no borders”, which is communist pure and simple, to even protesting the war in Somalia and Iran. I thought that was pretty neat. Some were way behind and some were thinking ahead. They reminded me of a political ‘push me pull you’ from Doctor Dolittle. You know what’s going to happen when you have two heads and they are on opposite ends of the body. You know what they are going to fill up with.
They also had some guy from Puerto Rico who was introduced with an announcement that claimed Puerto Rico was the very first place we’d ever conquered. Actually we were running the Spanish out of there in the Spanish American War. In 1900 on April 12th, through the passage of the Foraker Act, a civilian government was established in Puerto Rico. As is usually the case, the facts just get in their way so they ignore them. Do these idiots have any idea how much human history was lost because of the Spaniards activities in South America? We liberated Puerto Rico from Spain. But back to that brave soul from Puerto Rico. He barely spoke the language here and his accent caused me to expect him to exclaim “You look mahvelous simply mahvelous” at any moment.
The first country America actually attacked were the Barbary States because of the Islamic radical pirates operating out of the region. And here again the liberals are covering the tracks of true history with that stuff that just builds up in their middles.
In all I had a great time. I think every conservative needs to give back to them the kind of love they’ve been handing out for years. They were pretty shocked by our turn out. Why don’t some of you show up and let them bask in your love too. It’s fun.
Remember PETA supports Kerry and ‘Fish are people too.’
