Caitlin had an assignment today to go to one of the many pro/anti-Bush-Iraq War-Death to Israel "protests" today since Shrub and a pair of henchthings (Rum and the Poodle) are in town for the American Legion convention.
We went to the "We the People for Peace blah blah blah blah whiny hippies..." protest this evening. I've never been to an actual rally, so I figured maybe it would be an enlightening experience.
Not really. A random dude was singing with his guitar about crap...blah blah, all religious books advocate peace, blah blah... Some weepy war mother rambled on and on about a topic she obviously had very little knowledge of, and one that was of very little consequence to...anything at all (depleted uranium rounds being used by the US). Anyway, I've decided the anti-war protesters have no balls. Hell, I was so disinterested and relatively disgusted that I didn't bust out the camera to pop off a few shots.
The message of media-sedated and veritably retarded American war protesters:
"Um, sir, if it's not too much trouble, can you end the war? Please? Pretty please? Depleted uranium is bad!"
If you wanna send a ****ing message, grab a mob and march down the middle of State St. at 4 PM. And please, for the love of God, have some informed "leaders" who aren't so deluded and mis-informed that they ramble for 30 mins about depleted uranium rounds? Who the hell files for a permit when they have something to say?
Anyway, so we decided maybe we'd check out the pro-Bush rally going on across town. A simple drive-by sent me into dry heaves, so we decided to pass.
I did have an opportunity to go join the welcoming brigade at the Nat'l Guard airstrip for Shrub, but I wasn't sure what the legal implications for heckling the president on a military base were...
Am I just a ball of H8? Or is everyone stupid?
