#1 The guy across the street from me has a sign declaring that "War is not the answer".

I am going to put up two signs today.

"Big government is not the answer"

"Peace through superior firepower"

Happy Labor day.

#2 Queen Pelosi said it is time to drain the swamp. Only one problem, she is part of the swamp.

The American voters need to drain the swamp, boot and then Reboot.

#3 Awww, geez, sounds like Medea lost her free parking spot in front of the Marine recruiting station in Berkeley.
And that spot was primo...

#4 Mike, may I suggest some of these quotes:

"Give War a Chance"

"War not the answer? Depends on the question."

"Violence; the last refuge toward the incompetent."

"War has never solved anything (except for ending slavery, nazism, communism, holcausts and fascism)."

"Communism has only killed 100 million people, let's give it another try..."

#5 But an anti-war rally in Washington in March 2009 drew fewer than 10,000 people -- a fraction of the 500,000 activists who attended an anti-Iraq war rally in Manhattan in 2003.

It was a march near my apartment- local cops said 100,000 and staffed accordingly. Of those, I would guess 1 in 5 were 'hardcore' (this IS Manhattan, mind you.) The rest were there to impress their social networks or pick up hippies.

The 10,000 number therefore rings true as a high estimate.

#6 Hopefully many of these "activists" will use more / harder dope out of boredom and ennui. May the ensuing health issues take hold...

#7 #1 The guy across the street from me has a sign declaring that "War is not the answer".

#8 I really don't get doves some times. It's like they think we're past the Second Coming and can all stand around and sing love songs. Do they want people killed? Do the want tyrants to control the world, destroy human rights, and randomly kill people that irritate them? They think that murderers are just misunderstood by police? That Stalin was really trying to save the planet by killing the millions he did? If some one doesn't stand up and/or put the a-holes of the world down, they will be ruin all of us before we even reach the Second Coming.

People can't even agree on subjects with in their own families. That'w with their own blood. We even get family murders some times. Why would some one that does not value human life, any sense of liberty, or recognize any rights of an individual, and doesn't mind killing people, make the lovers think they can reason with them? By nature, they are unreasonable and uncomprimising. It blows me away.

#9 Mike Ramsey - may I suggest a third sign?

THAT depends on the question.

#13 I don't recall a half million protesting the war anywhere.

Looks like we just found where the MSM put some of the folks who went AWOL from Glenn Beck's rally.
