1. So why are they riding bikes in Crawford
and not riding in Humvees in Bagdad?

Oh, yeah, I forgot, they are part of Hell's Chickenhawks...

2. Why does the MSM frane the question as
supporting troops or not supporting troops? Didn't Cindy support the troops to the ultimate degree?

12. Can't support the troops more than she has!
Or the war for that matter. They frame it that way to put * on the "good" side of their faux arguments.

18. If you support Bush you aren't supporting the troops
The man sent them to die for a lie and then cuts their pay and benefits every chance he gets.

4. A sign is needed - "Get Your Enlistment Forms Here"

With a folding snack table loaded up right next to it.

Now, I also wonder if the good people of Crawford will complain about the cycle noise?

16. We know, but it's funny the symbols the wingnuts choose to use, isn't it?
They try to co-opt everything as their own.

9. Know what's especially sad about this picture?
Those motorcycles have more protection on them than the vehicles our troops use in Iraq. And that's not saying a whole lot, either.

Chickenhawks. They're what's for dinner.

marines...Do motorcycles make them look tougher or are they really girly men.

11. NASCAR crowd on two wheels with nothing better to do.
What a bunch of losers! Must've been handing out brown-shirts and autographed "Heil Chimp!" posters at the pig farm.

15. They look like "weekend commandos"
You will never see them:

-Commute to work on a bike (I do)
-Ride in the dead of winter (I do, depending on road conditions)
-Ride in the rain (I do)
-Ride in heavy rush hour traffic (I do)

17. Shouldn't they be in Sturgis?
On a positive note, none of them appears to have run over a cross.

20. You got a pic!
I once stayed at my broother-in-law's apt across from this very place! In the morning, I tried to take a pic of bikes and the "colorful" tourist site, and got barked at by a chick (possibly that very one now that I look): "No Pictures!" I thought she was going to confiscate my camera. And this was at 7 am. Apparently that neighborhood is well-maintained and has no crime.

Thanks for posting the pic I never got. :)

another dumb tourist...

25. Yeah,WTF is that
You know during Vietnam Sonny Barger offered the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels for use against the Vietnamese, he was turned down, but somehow I don't think these guys are in any hurry to go to Iraq.

23. I wish they could 'splain to me why wanting our troops home
ALIVE . . . NOW . . . is not supporting the troops. Can't they figure out the person NOT supporting the troops is Fearless Chickenhawk Leader who sent them in for a bogus reason without armor and keeps them there past there discharge date while he mountain bikes with Lance Armstrong? Don't clutter his pretty little head with thoughts of troops being slaughtered while he's vacationing at the faux ranch.

24. Subjugate
The Neo-cons Never Accounted for the Cindy Sheehans of America
by Stan Moore
Thursday August 18 2005

The Neo-cons overreached by misunderstanding the capabilities of
military power. The Neo-cons thought the world would roll over and
allow an uncontested Pax Americana. But the world, starting with
Afghanistan and Iraq decided otherwise. Afghan and Iraqi patriots
decided that their motto would be "Give me Liberty from American
hegemony or Give me Death!" And they started killing people like
Casey Sheehan in increasingly large numbers.

So, now the Cindy Sheehans of America are waking up and questioning
the Pax Americana. They are beginning to wonder if the sacrifice is
worth it. Must my son die so that George Bush daughters and nephews
and nieces can party every night in luxury and build careers of power
and influence? Must my son kill Iraqis and Afghans so that I can drive
my car on stolen oil? Is this worth it?

The Pax Americana was always a bad idea. Empires are never benevolent
enterprises. Empires are expressions of force, usually for reasons of
accumulating wealth and power. Empires take lives from their own citizens
and from those they rule. The Roman Empire relied on brutal subjugations,
and so does the American Empire. These realities are becoming apparent to
Cindy Sheehan and to many others like her. The Neo-cons never accounted for
this. Their own avoidance of military service in their youth is coming back
to haunt them. At some point, the Neo-cons will have to subjugate the
Cindy Sheehans or yield to them. The fate of the American people is at stake.
