#5 What a bunch of assholes. There is no anti-war "movement", they couldn't scratch up enough people to make one. Most of those "rallies" look pretty empty to me. Just a bunch of hippies and communists trying to be a pain in the ass and they can't even manage that.

#7 I remember my first anti-war march (as a spectator) in Brussels in 1962. It was a march organized by the Belgian Communist Party against the Vietnam War. I'm not sure most Americans even knew we were in a war in Vietnam at that stage. From that day to today's ANSWER Stalinist front organization, the prime movers have pretty much been the same people.

#10 I am pleased to say that at the very beginning of the anti-war movement, I strongly advised leftists to have nothing to do with ANSWER, to shun them, and to disavow them. And certainly not to let them co-opt their movement and turn in to their own purposes.

They blew me off. There are no enemies on the left, the suckers said.

#11 ANSWER also "has a history of seeking to dominate coalitions and many embarrassing ultra-hard line positions,"

Ultra-hard line positions are embarrassing. Not quite how I would have phrased it... But I am glad they've all noticed one another's little deficiencies.

#12 How nice to see the various and, often, utterly incompatible moral screeds of the left shatter segregate into immiscible strata where an adamantine amalgam was so hotly anticipated. It is about time that liberals fully understand the bloodsoaked nature of socialism and how outmoded any concept even faintly resembling Marxism is. Most refreshing of all will be when they begin purchasing a clue as to how Sharpton, Jackson and other such social parasites hucksters are more interested in con games that play upon whiteman's burden than demanding any sort of genuine sense of responsibility from their own followers. (Hat tip to Bill Cosby.)

Is your post above an example of "intellectual firepower" you said exist in this site?

#14 I'll leave that for others to judge. However, as usual, your own contribution arrives entirely uncontaminated by any content.

#16 Consider a new hobby young Mr. Curious. Model rockets are all the rage. Very safe, yet thrilling, and you might learn a trade.

#17 Here you go Mr. Curious - Big Bertha has always been a winner for young fellas seeking their way.

You can of course repaint to suit your politics of the moment. Red, Gold and Black is always a favorite.

#19 It also does NOT help the Anti-War movement, etal. to be publicly demanding that only America unilat appease and make concessions, but the other side does not - you know, Universal Equalism. End result - Commies and Anti-American agendists/community now wants mainstream America and Americana to believe that American-specific holocaust is good and beneficial for everyone, even for those being exterminated. Americans have gone from demanding to be ruled by anyone except an American, to unilat and unconditionally
"volunteering" to report to our local death camps and mass suicide stations while happily singing KUBAYA and WE ARE THE WORLD, etc.!? Americans are selfish and malicious for wanting to stay alive.
