Thread Name: Where are the anti war people?
Subject: RE: Where are the anti war people?
The left is populated now with comfortable, middle class, nice cowards.

When this shit was happening under Nixon, we made the country ungovernable. When our children tried to do the same in Seattle and elsewhere in the anti-globalization wars, we betrayed them, stabbed them in the back, and demonized them for 'being violent'.

We should be in the streets making this country ungovernable, ESPECIALLY in an election year. We should be in the streets everyday, to preserve our constitutionally guaranteed right to free assembly that is being chiseled away at by both Republicans AND DEMOCRATS.

They built a jail right on the streets outside the convention halls to put political dissenters in!!! And those were the DEMOCRATS.

Those who claim to be so opposed to Bush that they are rabidly supporting Kerry are hypocrites, and our youngest voters know this. It is going to take so much more than voting to rid the nation of these parasites--and the parasites are Republicans AND DEMOCRATS.

The country and the planet will not be saved by progressives becoming right wing Republicans. THAT IS THE FAILED STRATEGY THAT THE MAJORITY IS SUPPORTING BECAUSE IT MAINTAINS THE STATUS QUO.
