Support the Troops?

and yeah, I support what the weather underground did as well. COINTELPRO can suck my dick.

 

Um HOW? do tell!!! Looking at the shirt, it seems to be. impeach bush/ viva chavez?? come on!!

teach me how it is NOT hypocritical. I am listening...

 

pointless to even try

 

Walter Cronkite called the police and the Chicago establishment FASCISTS right on the air,when the police rioted in 1968 at the Democratic convention.The police beat anyone within reach then and the media reported it and showed it on TV --not anything close to what these right-wing, bought and sold, talking heads would EVER consider now.The media are disgusting sell-outs.This country has been ruined by crooked ,lying thieves,aided and abetted by the "media".Hopefully,the era of the republicrooks is almost over.

 

Protesting isn't as effective these days.
The media isn't on our side...

And I agree that protesters could be a lot more tasteful without swears and pointless anger. "kill bush" and remarks like that make everyone look immature and idiotic.

And getting violent is out of the question when you're protesting against violence.

So, now what?

 

All of the major networks in the U.S. didn't cover any of the peaceful demonstration parade against Bush during the 2004 RNC convention, except CSPAN.

Fox didn't cover any of it except for a couple minutes where the dragon float caught on fire. 'Look at those horrible people'.

.

 

Its because these people are leftists.

Nobody covered the pro America demonstrations either. The fact is no one watches protests on tv thus they have bad ratings. If you want to spot the stuff that gives them good ratings that would be who fathered Anna Nichols baby.

 

The voter and consumer has a responsibility to be informed.

 

Please tell me how waving a peace sign will stop a deranged person from inflicting violence on another human being.

Inaction itself is a form of violence, because in effect, you have colluded with the violent person in the perpetuation of violence.

The Iraq war is like a cyclic loop. You cut off support for the troops which is part of that loop. They won't have a choice but to come home. This is what they did to end the Vietnam War. They cut off the funding. The troops were home in no time from a war they had no business getting involved in to begin with. Very similar to this present Iraq war.

 

The point is not to stop the violent person, but to get media attention to the masses that believe this war has gone on long enough.

I wish we could cut off the money flow, but they really don't care how the people funding the war feel. Our money, but we get no say.

 

Yes, there have been efforts, past and current to speak out against the war, even against blind support for these troops that have appeared in the media.

Unfortunately, almost 2 terms under George W backed by his Neo-Con, religious right-wing agenda has basically dumbed down, the average American capacity to think intelligently.

It's going to take a long time, lots of effort to undo the damage that this incompetent administration has created.

 

You really overestimate his abilities. Most of the dumb ones who follow him blindly were dumb long before he walked through the White House doors. The rest are worthless sheep who believe whatever pablum you spoonfeed them, intelligence notwithstanding.

 

Just let the troops come home now.
He better not veto the withdrawel. >_<

"The Senate on Thursday defied a veto threat by President George W. Bush and joined with the House of Representatives in backing a timetable for withdrawing American combat troops from Iraq. "
-Reuters

 

It will be vetoed, no question.

 

agreed

 

What is it going to accomplish to run? You think leaving a country in a cival war is the answer? Is this for the good of the people? Of coarse Bush will veto it and he should, I am sick of this country not following through with anything. We have already spent the money, we should damn sure see it out.

 

their coming to take me away their coming to take me away ..........tossoffalot do yer jerk .......ITS AN ILLEGAL WAR ....iraq today the world tommorow without any resistance ..atriot:......ps do yer get out much ?

 

ok, it's not my country, but let me remark that with this mindset you'd never retreat from Viet-Nam too . If money is the concern, dont know how much you value the human lives of soldiers that a retreat could spare , but you can try and ask the money back from George W. Bush.Rumors are that his family is a rich one. also, remaining in iraq is useless because you will be finally defeated like in 'Nam . US soldiers cant win because they know there is no reason for them to fight and die day after day. because they are hated by iraqi civilians. because their opponents are strongly motivated. and because lies dont lead to anything good.
