Da Goddess

I posted this on my blog last night about what most of these protesters on the far left seem to be saying, and it's not based on solid reasoning and logic. It's "Get Bush Out Of Office By Any Means Possible". That's all I hear from them. Damned be any opposing viewpoint or reasonably sound counter argument, they know what they want and we sould just listen to them.

No...Sorry. I can think for myself.

What's sad is, so many people are just eating up the vitriol from the left and liberal news outlets (CBS, ABC, et al) and not even hearing the other side of the story. I asked my parents last weekend if they'd heard any good stories from Iraq lately, and all they replied with was "No, but CBS keep tallying up the death toll of our soldiers every night". Gee, great way to keep up the morale on the home front, Rather. I forwarded Chrenkoff's Good News From Iraq series to them and they were shocked that they'd not heard a SINGLE one of those stories from the TV news or from our local news rag.

And I think that's what people like Red and those Code Pinkies are counting on. "Don't look for the truth, just listen to what we tell you."

I'm glad we have people like you and Lt./Citizen Smash keeping our voice out there. Luckily, I live in an area where there haven't been any protests of the kind where I'd feel it neccessary to create a new chapter of the Protest Warriors here. But if that need were to ever arise, you can bet safely that I'd jump to the challenge.

Thanks again.

Can't take their own medicine, can they?

After reading this post, and having read your June rally post, I can see why it is that the leftists are always using "children" as their excuse for everything... they're the most defenseless victims available.
I'm sorry, but anyone that would've shown any such animosity to either of my kids would have ended up in a chance meeting with my friends Mr.s' Smith & Wesson.

This is a perfect example of how far removed from reality the Left is. Somehow, if anyone disagrees with them, that person is not exercizing THIER right to free speech, they're oppressing the LEFT'S right to free speech. And it's perfectly OK for the Left to respond by threatening and silencing that dissent.

Hypocrisy? Irony? Stupidity? All of the Above?

I wish we could round them all up and ship them to the Sudan or somethign and let the terrorists deal with them. Then these poor excuses for human biengs can live under real fascism.

The main difference between them and us? Simple, we think. We know the issues, take time to understand them and form opinions, and we study. We study the situation, and the people involved.

Most impressive Da Goddess! Very proud of you. These women embarrass me. They fall into all the old stereotypes of women that so many have worked so hard to disspell.

Kudo's to you all. You handled yourselves with dignity and offered them respect that, to be honest, they didn't deserve.

At least your Pink ladies kept their clothes on....unlike the ones here last year.

A bit ago, I came up with the thought that if someone is secure in their belief, they would not mind questions being asked about that belief.

I am finding, however, that in many cases, when one starts to question about a specific belief, that all one gets in response is anger and or cussing. Targeting kids show how morally, ideologically and spritually bankrupt these individuals are. That is the only way they are able to respond, because they have been so brainwashed that they are unable to come up with any independent thoughts. Thinking scares them.

I have to quit, as if I don't, I will logically start into a certain political party. lol

One man, sporting a straw hat and a pink bow tie, felt it necessary to hurl expletives and invectives our way, in front of his own children. It defied all logic.

This is the one aspect of bringing my daughter with me that I am loath (sp?) to confront. I want to show her that everyone in America is free to speak their minds and yet I don't want to "lose my sh!t" on some foul-mouthed jerk who spouts off in front of or to kid. (I mean, I cuss, but not around the kid).

Was this clown just looking to provoke someone?

And here I was under the impression that the Red Hat Society was the weirdest looking group of female earthlings upon which I had ever laid my set of 6 eyes. Thankfully, being so garishly dressed makes them easy targets when I go on my next zapping spree with a fully charged ray gun in each of my four hands.

As a person who belongs to neither the current mainstream "left" nor the current mainstream "right", I'm struck by how each side thinks that the mainstream media is totally ruled by the viewpoint of the other. Leaves me to wonder who the media are speaking for, if anyone.

This shows their ultimate goals. Pretty menacing, if you ask me.

The Pinks did and said what we expected - and were very obnoxious about our being there. But we were most disturbed by the father who was swearing so viciously in front of his own children.
So we started chanting, "No Filthy Language! No Filthy Language!". He stopped, but he was so mad, his eyes were bulging and his hands were clenched. If we hadn't been out in the public, I think he would have lost control.
Mostly, we see these people as immature, self-centered, narcissistic cry-babies, as are most people on the left.
But....they advocate the violent overthrow of this government and the subjugation of the entire population by anyone but a duly elected President. They side with Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, and Osama bin Laden. These are people to watch, and to be wary of.
To counter their poison, get every one you know and anyone you don't know to register to vote, and to vote to re-elect President Bush.
Otherwise, those dedicated to our own destruction will be in charge. That would not be good for children and other living things.

keep up the good fight. wish i was there. start taking these asshats pics, and post them please.

are you in protest warrior now?

Oh Lord! Ugly! Gennie from Dizzy-Girl, her art teacher is one of them. Also one of the mothers that belong to the group, her son is a Ranger, went to Iraq, paid some people off - and was able to find the Ranger camp and was able to talk to him in person!

"Hey [name] ... your mother is here."

I'd die.

And the lady we adore wore...red? Pray tell!

GREAT JOB...they're no match.

OH AND.........

Thursday morning I became an official Protest Warrior.

YESSS!
Now come live with me in my hot tub...by night...and beat hippies by day!

good for you!!!

We need hot chicks with brains on the streets...er...well...I didn't mean it to sound like that. But, you know what I mean.

Interesting thought (spurred no doubt by a frightening lack of tech support calls today)...

Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the constitution as the following...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Okay, so there we have it, *Congress* cannot interfer with our freedom of speech. Congress. Logic would dictate, that you have the right to say what you will, speaking out against the Government, and the Government cannot pass any laws that prohibit your ability and right to do so.

HOWEVER...

There is nothing in there that says that are not allowed to disagree with a person's opinion. That's what they're complaining about. When people don't agree with them, they get pissed and claim "HELP! HELP! We're Being Repressed!!" They don't get it. They demand you tolerate their ideas and their opinions, but if your opinions and ideas contradict theirs, you're oppressing them. That's a double standard, and makes no sense whatsoever.

Tolerance, but it's nature is the reverse of it's idea. That is, forcing someone who disagrees with you, to tolerate you and your ideals is intolerant of their opinions and ideals. It is not normal or natural, and becomes the opposite of what it is supposed to be.

(I may be rambling here, so I'll just conclude..) If they were truly believers in what they are proclaiming, then they would not only welcome the Protest Warriors in their midst, they would go out of their way to invite them for a civil discussion of the varying opinions and positions on the issues. Since they don't want that, they cannot be considered serious, nor can should they be taken seriously. Unfortunately, in this day and age of "Reality" TV, sensational news stories and liberal media...they're taken far more seriously than they deserve. And that's dangerous.

Dak, Dak, Dak....

There you go, trying to apply logic and reason to the situation... Those don't count anymore, it's all about the passion. Just ask the Pink Ladies.

I know, I know. Silly me. I'm one of those strange people that no matter what, I want to believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt. At the same time, I'm just trying to figure out their line of thinking. Occum's Razor may or may not apply here. I dunno.
