"Peace Sucks"
This was a sign brandished by a counter-demonstrator at the DC rallies Saturday, according to the article on the event in this morning's LA Times.

I realize it's dangerous to generalize based on one person, but it's still a pretty nifty slogan describing the intellectual underpinnings, such as they are, to contemporary neo-conism, no?

8. In January in DC at that protest, a freeper-type was holding a sign that said
"More Money For Bombs
Less Money For Welfare"


Yesterday here locally we were having our regular weekly peace vigil and we're holding signs and flags that said "PEACE" and freeper rolled down his car window and said, "You're teaching my children to hate!" (Umm, WHAT?)


These people are frickin' crazy, that's all I can figure.

9. Isn't that sweet?
Did his mommy paint the sign for the burgeoning little Cartman? It's a damn shame the things you see when you don't have an enlistment form.

Portland turned out about 20,000 today. Most of the television coverage settled on less than a hundred "anarchist" twits who couldn't play by the rules.

18. Actually, I gave up sleep to do that.
Now I only have 2 hours and 11 minutes of sleep before I have to get ready to go to class. :boring:

16. He looks hale and hearty enough to be on the business end of a gun.
So, why is he here instead of some poor 18 year old?

20. Silly Freeptards. Logic is for adults.
"Disgrace MAH flag and I'll kick yore ASS, Commie."

Because, you know, they support their non-serving-in-Vietnam Presidunce who pretty much is doing to our troops the same damned thing Nixon did to them PROUDLY and without a SHRED of hypocrisy.

I mean, did Mr. Jingo use fingerpaints on that shoddily-made sign?

19. I wonder why that person isn't in Iraq. Or visiting the wounded in WReed.
Edited on Mon Mar-19-07 08:22 AM by WinkyDink
It's all about the psychologically-impaired "I'm-trying-to-feel-secure-in-my" masculinity cult these guys see Bush as the leader of. In essence, it's Nazism.

And no way can they accept ANYTHING from the Democrats, even if it is in their own interests, because "Democrat" to them = SISSY LA-LA.

Period. It is why FACTS will never mean anything to them, ever, for their deep-rooted masculinity issues TRUMP EVERYTHING, EVEN MONEY.

So "Peace Sucks", because it isn't expressing MASCULINITY for these GOD-MEN. It isn't showing POWER and AUTHORITY. It isn't letting others KNOW WHO'S BOSS, DAMMIT.

Women and children were murdered in Haditha? Whatever. Female covert agent unmasked? Whiny broad. Maimed guys languishing in decrepit VA hospitals? Weak losers. Mother Earth is dying? Time for more actions that choke her air, poison her waters, and rape her land.

John Edwards is called "F****t". Bill Clinton is paradoxically a womanizer and a hen-pecked husband. Al Gore is "gay", a loser tree-hugger who hired a woman to tell him what to wear.

Republican males belong to the Cult of the Thug.
