Faces of Protest --- HEY FREEPS

[nonconformist]

Hey Freepers - do these people look like a bunch of inconsequential hippies and druggies to YOU?














This is just a handful, a sampling, of the patriotic Americans that are protesting Bush and his war. Young and old, black and white, we are a cross-section of America that represents every age, creed, and fiscal class. We ARE America.

WE ARE THE MAJORITY.

WE WILL NOT BE MARGINALIZED ANYMORE.

Add your own pics, DU'ers!

1. Wow. Wonderful.

*recommended*

I especially liked the "Mr. President: If we are the future, why are you killing us?" one

[darkenedhalo]

28. Thats what I thought too

I really liked that.

[stevedeshazer]

[Vektor]

3. No, they look like REAL Americans.

Anyone who still supports Bush clearly hates the USA and wants to see it destroyed.

[IndyOp]

4. Rock On!

:yourock:

[blue neen]

5. Real Americans, real patriots.

I'm sobbing as I type.

How many more parents have to lose their children to this war?

[me b zola]

47. I was there yesterday, it was a very emotional day.

Several times yesterday tears streamed down my face. Most of the day was exhilerating, positive, and uplifting. I did, though, feel rage as we passed in front of the WH--OUR WH. It was lined with cops, barriors to keep us far from the fence, sharpshooters of the roof.

6. Way to get back in their faces with it. Bravo. Good post. n/t

8. A few of mine.

[blue neen]

9. Republicans for Impeachment!

That's great! Some of them are waking up!

[FreedomAngel82]

23. I loved that sign too!

That one and "I can't believe we're still protesting this crap" are the best!

[nonconformist]

12. Love these! I'm on that Here In Spirit sign!

The FSM one and the "Bush Pull Out - Wish Yo Daddy Had" cracked me up!

[AndreaCG]

21. So am I

DU rocks!

[ronnykmarshall]

14. Oh my god!!

You've got my in tears again. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the picture of the "in spirit" sign.

God bless you kids. I love you!!!!

16. "Have You Been Touched By His Noodly Appendage?!?!"

11. The ONLY WAY the Bush Voters can SLEEP is to be in DENIAL/DELUSION

[ronnykmarshall]

13. I LOST IT today.

There was this man in Los Angeles that was a Vietnam vet that was blind and he had his purple heart on .... I started crying when I saw him.

Also so many times I saw family members holding pictures of loved ones that died in Iraq. One was marching with the coffins.

Freepers are low life skum fucks.

[globalvillage]

15. Forgot to post this one.

[blue neen]

17. So profound and so sad.

It takes your breath away.

[ronnykmarshall]

25. Like I said ....

I lost it today when I saw that.

One thing that was so beautiful was when a group of people prior to the march in LA started singing "We Shall Overcome". We all joined hands and sang. It was wonderful.

It's amazing what a march like this can do to your spirit.

[fudge stripe cookays]

27. That's the way I felt...

at the Pro-Choice March, when a group of women next to me started singing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" as we marched.

The next day I went to the Smithsonian, and walked up to the area where all the social change from the turn of the century exhibits were: Hull House, the muckrakers, etc.

When I came upon the exhibit with the suffragettes' wagon, their banners, and photos of Alice Paul, and the others, I turned into a blubbering fool in the middle of the museum.

[ronnykmarshall]

29. I love you baby!

[Pacifist Patriot]

57. Oh wow. Just wow.

[mcg]

63. There was a Iraq war vet who witnessed women and children slaughtered,

he was at the DC rally, he might be emotionally scarred for life, I hope not. A freeper dared to call him a coward and he exclaimed "Oh, so I'm a coward because I saw innocent women and children slaughtered???"
No response from the freeper.

No sir, you are not a coward, you have morals.

[Cathyclysmic]

18. This is great to see!

I wish the Beast Man and I where there!:cry:


Bush,Pull Out!
Wish yo' Daddy had!.....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Twist_U_Up]

22. Hey Freeps

the house is crumbling

[darkenedhalo]

30. This just so puts the lie

to all of their propaganda about progressives all being druggies and freaks. I love this!

26. Oh, I like the babes ;)

Now I wish I had gone :(

[Faygo Kid]

33. OK, we're only human. Me, too, but you would have had to see me.

54, fat, too proud to say those strands of hair mean I'm "bald." But, not yet dead; always question my motivations, but never have acted on them - or would. Daughter almost 30. How the hell did that happen?

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. Maybe this is politically incorrect, but

DU women are gorgeous! :loveya:

(I'm a guy. Shoot me.)

[CC]

35. Some more pictures of

the march.































And we fight for peace so we have any more that die for a lie.






SO is a Vietnam Vet so we always go to the memorial when in DC. We can't let this one go on for 15 plus years.

[nonconformist]

36. The cops looked relaxed, even friendly

I bet they too agree. Cops, like firefighters, have gotten the shaft from this administration.

Great pics!!

[CC]

51. Those that I saw

looked either bored or friendly. So were all the metro security people, at least the ones we had to ask how to work the stuff. Even had one metro cop said she was going to try to go to the march.

[The Witch]

40. Can I post the here in spirit sign pictures in their own thread

so people can see they were represented? Thank you in advance

[CC]

50. Of course you can. n/t

[The Witch]

55. THANK YOU! Just posted, props given to yas n/t

[CC]

59. Saw them and btw

great job on the poster. Wish I could of stayed through tomorrow for the civil disobedience protest. Maybe if there are arrest for it the MSM will have to carry it.

Or as my mom said, it was great that it was a peaceful march and in the long run does more for the message but had we rioted and the cops had to make lots of arrested it would of been the lead story on all the news.

[JimmyJazz]

65. YOUR PICS ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! I took a picture of the young man

in the tan tee-shirt on the wall flashing the peace sign, too. I don't know why, but I was terribly moved by him. :)

[Kipepeo]

37. Not the fringe

*kick*

[DemReadingDU]

39. Great pics!

thanks for sharing

[Mutley]

41. And more...

[nonconformist]

43. Real Christians. How refreshing!

Thanks for sharing!

[Jo March]

62. I saw nuns, priests and monks

I saw so many great signs that let me know that Christians are fed up with * and the lies about this war. My favorite was "Blessed Are the Peacemakers: If Bush is right then Jesus is wrong."

I also liked, "The Rapture is Not an Exit Strategy." That one cracked us up.

[malaise]

42. Freedom is on the march

Great pix. Thanks

[catmandu57]

44. Maybe there is a chance

I can't tell everyone how uplifted I am looking at these photos, we are the majority, and we won't be denied. Thanks everyone who was there yesterday, I wish we could do this every week until we've ran these lunatics off, or jailed them.

[electron_blue]

46. Wow

thanks for putting this together, everyone. I'm far from it, and missed it, and the MSM let us down of course. This is great.

[Justpat]

48. The pic of the parents of the dead soldier really got to me.

Sgt. Baker, rest in peace.

I can only hope that there is such a thing as karma and that
Bush gets his due soon.

[HannibalBarca]

49. Guns N Roses Civil War, apt song I believe

What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men." *


Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before


Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before


My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars


D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land


And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war


Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more


My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars


"We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer" **


I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war


I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
