I've been thinking a lot about the protests over the weekend, particularly the ones held right here in America. Don't be confused. This was an anti-Bush rally, not an anti-war protest. Every reasonable, thinking, level-headed, intelligent, sane person is anti-war. War is one ugly horror after another. And unfortunately, innocent civilians do die. And these people want to use the ugly horrors of war to damage a popular president by trying to make it look like he wants war for power. We are under attack. Just because there's not an explosion every day doesn't mean that we're not. I, like other Americans fear a retaliation that will come with a war on Iraq. But as many other administrations before this one realized, sometimes war is necessary -- to protect the freedom that allows these people to go out and protest against their country as well as physically protecting us from our enemies.

Despite what it looks like on TV, polls still show that a vast majority of Americans support the war on Iraq, realizing it's necessary for our protection. If they want to protest, protest our enemies. They could have been speaking out against the murderers Osama bin laden and Saddam Hussein. No, they were too busy aiming their anger towards George W. Bush. Nevermind all of the completely horrific things Saddam Hussein has done...nevermind the threat he is to us....they say Bush is the bad guy here. They are anti-Bush, not anti-war. They offer no other realistic solutions. We can't ignore Saddam and hope he goes away.

They think it is so important that Bush doesn't defy the UN, but what about Saddam? It's not important how he has defied it every single day?

Don't get me wrong here...I do think everyone has a right to protest, even against their own government. But I think that most people should know when it's in the best interest of their country not to do so, assuming they want what's best for their country.

Do these protesters think Saddam is going to watch the news, his eyes well with tears at the outpouring of support and decide to stop hating us? Stop hating everyone? Be a friendly world neighbor? They know better. They are trying to damage a president they never voted for in the first place.



A Final Thought:
You hate this president?? Fine!!! Shut up until the war is over and pray you aren't blown to smithereens by terrorists before we get it done!!

So good that the only way i can top it is multiply it by 2

as a lifelong democrat (who voted for nader in 2000) i am over the 2000 elections. why? because gore, if he ran a competant campaign, and won his home state of tennessee the vote in florida would have been irrelevant.
if you cannot carry your own home state, then the chances of winning election are slim to none.

You Peace Protestors Are Being Duped

February 19, 2003



My friends, there's no intelligence agency of any government which does not know that the government of Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. Let's not forget this. We've even had some of these big-hearted, well-intentioned, super-patriot, anti-war protesters call here and express concern about going to war with Iraq because, if we do, Saddam might release his weapons of mass destruction on our troops.



Wait a minute, what weapons of mass destruction? You protesters are going to have to get your story straight. He doesn't have anything worth being concerned about so what could he possibly unleash against our troops? I mean come on, folks! Don't get suckered and roped in by this PR battle here. The press and Saddam Hussein are playing you like Stradivarius.

We had a call from a protestor named Troy from Durham, North Carolina who admitted to us that no protestors are making any demands on Saddam Hussein because "no one's pretending Saddam Hussein is reasonable."

That just said it all! No demands are made on Hussein, because he's not reasonable. Yet, he has weapons of mass destruction. So let's protest Bush and appease the unreasonable danger monger? Boy, you people are being duped. It's so sad. The more you protest, the more you stretch this thing out and delay, and the more you aid Saddam Hussein.

If you really want to avoid war, you would be calling for him to step aside. If Saddam Hussein left Iraq, there would be no war. This is why I say that these protests aren't really anti-war. They are anti-Bush.
