Here's the difference between us

[DoYouEverWonder]

?

and them.




(Hint: count the number of people in each picture}

[rosesaylavee]

1. Do you have any pictures of the whole?

Thanks for the pics.

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. These are from the wire

Of course, they don't want to show the whole crowd of either group because the difference in attendance would be even more apparent.

2. And I thought it was us exercising American freedom and them opposing it

They are trying to oppose the freedom's given to all of us by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights - protesting a positive with a negative is bad politics.

4. Notice how

The anti-war protestors don't drape themselves in the flag.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

5. Welcome to DU. It would be flag desecration if they did.

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. Of course when they do it

they don't realize that this is also desecrating the flag. Morans.

14. I remember during Viet Nam RWs were PO'ed when "hippies" wore the flag

on/as clothing. It was disrespectful and a desecration, they said.

Decades later doing so is considered patriotic and appropriate? Strange.

15. Oh I meant the liburruls.

7. Cindy has never claimed she speaks for them

But, then, they would have to stop making up things to complain about if they acknowledged that, wouldn't they? :eyes:

[BlueJazz]

9. Boy..I feel the same way..

If there is one phase that "gets my Goat"..it's the "You don't speak for me"
Who in the hell ever said that Cindy speaks for You?? ..AGGGGHH!!

[cbear70]

12. I couldn't agree more

They don't speak for us either. I detest when they say they do, that there are more americans who agree with Bush.. hate it, hate it, hate it.:banghead:

[PeachyDem88]

8. Jesus...

I count about 10 flags in that picture...

It just reeks of "I'm more patriotic than you!"

Why do they have to try so hard?

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. They need all the flags

to make it look like the tent is full of people.

BTW: There are more flags then people in that tent.

[kliljedahl]

11. I thought that same thing after 9-11

Was the guy who put 4(Chinese made)flags on his vehicle 4 times more patriotic than the guy who only had 1?

[Mr_Spock]

18. "Why do they have to try so hard?"

Because they know they need symbols to hide behind because they stand for nothing more than pure, unadulterated HATE!

[GoBlue]

13. More stiking is the 'decorum' of the supporters.

I guess they think the flag is some kinda talisman to keep the evildoers away. And the balloons and ribbons are a nice touch too. Kinda like a tailgate party before the big game.

16. Here's a better pic of us

Here's the best one I can find so far of them:



Show me 3000 freepers CNN? I call bullshit.

[Mr_Spock]

17. I always feel like I am looking at mentally ill people when I see Freepers

It's like they live their lives as mindless creeps.

[rockribbedliberal]

19. Isn't that appropriate? We've got the 'big tent.'

20. Ba da bing! Welcome to DU!!

[OneBlueSky]

21. the difference, I have found, is really quite simple . . .

WE actually and honestly CARE about people other than just ourselves . . . even those different from us . . . even those in foreign lands that the government calls our "enemies" . . .

we also care about the Earth and the miracle of creation (air, water, trees, rocks, flowers, and bears, for example) . . .

THEY don't . . .
