#3  Funny thing, reading that article made me think about how two major religions mean peace.

Islam = Peace of Total Submission
Buddhism = Peace of the Grave

#2  Most lefties supported peace primarily because they felt it would hurt Bush* so when it came out that his approval ratings went up after each protest they naturally stopped going.

*My evidence for this is the lack of protests for the conflict against Serbia under Clinton which didn't even have the fig-leaf of UN sanction, were not in US interests and were based on questionable stories about mass graves seen in aerial photos.

#1  Good article 'moose - thanks. My $.02 - dorks on the left are not peaceniks anymore - they're more like self-loathing white guilt filled pacifists. Sure, they may turn out for the obligatory anti-Bushitler protest because that's fashionable in their cliques. It's a kind of drooler social gathering & degenerate mating ritual amonst lefty wimps. Where as most real men w/a shred of testosterone will get together for a beer, some wings and a football game, these puzzies like to hold their dumb little signs and shout their counterintuitive slogans at the evil geniuses on the right. Deep down they know there is nothing really dangerous to their well being about doing that type of gig.

I do remember in the early 90's the "free Tibet" mantra of the left, which I could kinda see as being an okay thing to champion (even w/nancys like Richard the gerbil Gere on point). However, when it comes down to it, these people are reluctant or even adverse to fight for their own survival. They foolishy think al queda and islam is not a threat. In a way, I view them as parasites on our great Constitution and Dec of Independence. Willing to accept the fruits but not willing to endure the labor. If there's ever a culture war that goes kinetic I don't think I'll have much sympathy for what happens to most of these poltroons. Maybe the canucks can take them in as refugees. In the mean time, I am saddened that darwinism isn't as quick to intervene as in years past.
