Re: Remembering the Dead (4.00 / 2)

This if you can make it.

Join Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, Camp Casey Peace Institute, the ANSWER Coalition, Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, National Council of Arab-Americans, Grassroots America, Hip Hop Caucus, and thousands of others in Washington DC on September 15 for a huge antiwar protest timed to coincide with the report by General Petraeus on the "Surge" in Iraq.

Re: Remembering the Dead (none / 1)

hey stephen- I am gonna sound a little snippy but bear with me. How old are you sir? Cause I gotta tellya, I ain't about to not march. Now the dif is this- I got my ass handed to me when I sat in in the woolworths. I got busted up when a god damned mayor wanted to stop the Sunday peoples park in NYC. I faced off with the son of a bitches in DC at the pentagon.
Now- hows that for creds? So here is my point. 6 fucking years Stephan D. of them and what do we have? A party with absolutely no balls at all.
March- an organized March? Bullshit. Every single college and university! ever one But that takes work. What about it? Organize- ya remember that old UNION CHANT!
Stop the crap. Every single senator and representative! Every one. Confrontation. Dog their asses. Don't let them go anywhere without seeing someone. Go into every single district.
Now- the congress- The Dems Control one aspect of this and they need to institute this- STOP EVERY SINGLE BILL, REQUEST, ATTEMPTED APPOINTMENT- EVERY STINKING GOOPER PROPOSAL --STOPPED!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing goes to the floor.NOT a Goddamned thing.
If you think that wont get the media to stop their one sided ass kissing you just don't get it.
Remember- these pieces of shit only want two things. they want to retain their seats. They want the power that comes with control of the White house.
Well, Thats it.

Re: Remembering the Dead (none / 0)

51! you are a whippersnipper. anyhow-Ideas,thats what will defeat the monstors. Targets and Ideas.
but I got a really big problem.Ya see- I am rethinking this "thankyou bullshit at the beginning of every one is forcing me to do a rethink. Rethink for what? For killing civillian folks striving to hang on to their homeland. Thankyou for for your efforts to kill as many "al quaida" folks? Thankyou for killing as many Iraqis as possible so that the Us can beat down the opposition and permit the government to finally sign the OIL sharing plan by which the Us gets what it wants.
And I come up with the following= No more thankyous. You volunteered!Therefore- if you really care, you would quit. nope- No more thankyous. Howa that.

Not to mention heartfelt and eloquent.

If you want things to get better, be prepared to deal with change.
