Now that the St. Pat's Day anti-war protests are over , I have a novel idea: how about an anti-terror protest? Let's go all the way back to 1979 and start counting the deaths and intimidation of Americans at the hands of Islamic Jihadists. Instead of laying the more than 3,000 deaths of American soldiers at the hands of your own government, how about blaming the people who killed them: Islamic Jihadists. My tally puts us at about 7,000 Americans sacrificed to the cauldron of Islamic extremism. And all we get are a bunch of people amassing in D.C. to blame America first. Must be the same people worshipping Hugo Chavez and his newspaper closing administration, while at the same time condemning President Bush for enacting anti-terror spy programs. Only in America!

beardog - thanks for your detailed attempt at logical debate, rather than an insult! This is something I rarely get from people who counter me. Usually, the best I get are insults like Mark there. I still think you are misguided in your points (did you see the Barbara Walters interview w/Chavez?), but at least you countered each point I made. I too hope that our grandchildren will have the right to protest, we just apparently disagree over who the enemy really is.

I think it's a great idea. I'd really like to see a field of crosses like the pinhead liberals put up to protest the war, one for each American life lost to muslim extremism. I'd like to have a rally and have it end at the respective embassies and UN Missions of the countrys who are supporting these murderers and the countries that are still doing business with them. I'd love to see effigies of Ahmadinijhad and his buddies burned. I love the idea of thousands of American flags flying while we burn flags from Hammas and the rest of the trash.
Where do we start?

If our President hadn't fed half of those guys to that monster, I'd agree. Unfortunately, his grasp of military tactics is second only to his grasp of the English language. When you've already got a fight on your hands with a slippery enemy, why open up another front by picking a fight in Iraq? Bush flanked himself, pure and simple. Nobody praises Hugo Chavez, but Bush's "Anti-Terror Spy Program" (His name "Patriot Act" is much catchier), turned out to be a free pass to subvert the Constitution of the United States of America without congressional or judicial oversight. How is that different from Hugo Chavez's closing of newspapers? Rather than attack the free press directly, he derived it as unpatriotic, and then attacked every citizen of the United States rights to privacy, and due process.
Protest what you'd like. It's your right- for now.

I think that would be wonderful and I've got a great idea. Let's see if we can get all these peaceful Muslims to head up this effort. Ya know....unity for peace and all that sort of stuff.

I'd say yes, but I don't run around like an idiot in the streets chanting like a lunatic.
