Via Michelle Malkin, we find out that what the Anti-War Movement really needs is a…a…CATALYST!
With new polls showing that more than half of Americans believe the war in Iraq is going badly and that Iraq will never become a stable democracy, you might think that anti-war groups in the U.S. would be trumpeting their influence.
Instead, the groups appear to be caught in their own brand of civil war, criticizing each other for management styles, sympathizing with Communist dictators and pandering to the media. They have bickered over alleged racism and even over issues like who would get more microphone time and pay for the portable toilets at anti-war rallies.The feuding appears to have precluded any kind of nationally coordinated anti-war rallies from happening on March 19, the third-year anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Now, I’m not one to say “I told ya so,” but way back last summer, I pointed out that despite all the publicity Mother Sheehan was getting about her “vigil” in Crawford, Texas outside of the President’s ranch and all the breathless, prayerful, homage being directed her way by lefty blogs, that St. Cindy being a catalyst for the anti-war movement was in fact a myth. She and her crusade were as manufactured a “phenomena” as last year’s American Idol winner Carrie Underwood.
The failure of the anti-war movement to be anything except a formless, shapeless mass of 60’s holdovers, New Age dingbats, Hollywood air heads, drug-addled dropouts, and netroot nincompoops is a direct result of a lack of enthusiasm on the part of the vast majority of the American people to align themselves with groups who see Haliburton behind every tree, dicatorship behind every Presidential smirk, and theocrats under every bed.
A couple of days ago, the moonbat who was behind the original “Storm the White House” protest left a comment on this site. Darrow Boggiano was, if nothing else, predictable:
Thanks for all the publicity. I was even invited on the radio. Sorry, I don’t state my case against legalized torture and theft of other people’s oil and poppy for heroin distribution and corporate profit, more eloquently. I actually get so freaked out about what has become of our government, that I don’t know what to say sometimes. But believe me, I’m not the one who’s nuts – it’s those of you who can sit around pretending that we have the right to allow our corporations to kill thousands, and what is even more stupid, is that you don’t even get any of that money – it all goes to a few on the top, and you idiots back them up. We could be saving lives and doing so many smart things. At least you can proud that you never had to say “I made a mistake, I voted for a stupid redneck, who thinks that killing is fun, especially when you can steal stuffâ€. I many not have figured out the perfect solution, but I do know the first step – putting bush, his daddy, cheney, rumsfeld, and rice behind bars where they belong. Too bad we couldn’t see the milosevich trial – it would have been a perfect practice for what is coming.
People are pretty upset with President Bush and the way the Iraq War has been prosecuted. But criticizing Bush for his handling of the war and being against the war are two different things. And as I pointed out a couple of days ago, with American casualties dropping, terrorist attacks going down, and the Iraq government about ready to take some very important steps toward organizing a democratic government, there is reason to believe that we are finally on the right track to victory. The only people in America who are anxious for a defeat in Iraq are the far left moonbats who wanted to “storm the White House” today but never quite got around to it. Their disorganization is indicative of a group of people with superior egos and inferior minds.

The Not-So-Perfect Storm
Remember back on February 27th when I told y’all how the left was planning a big ‘coup’ and were calling on everybody and his brother to join them to “Storm The White House”? Anyone?.. Anyone?...
Well anyways.. that day of organized ‘Treaso…

The war no longer matters. The dim-wits and their racism against the Arabs has set any hope of peace in the middle east back by at least 25 years. The Arabs ‘thought’ the majority of Americans hated them and now ‘they know’ that at least 45% not only hate them but don’t trust them in any form or fashion. I always knew that somewhere in the dim-wit party there was an undercurrent of racism since they always accused others of racism, now it’s out in the open and it’s not only the Arab’s. Look at the way they’re going after the black that used to work for President Bush. He committed a petty crime (but hey, Watergate was a petty crime) and makes the front pages of the NYT. Now the blacks and Arabs of the country can watch their backs, the dim-wits hate all of you and are out to get you. You only have to look at the past week to know it’s true.

You lefties can’t get it through their skulls that Americans, by-and-large, do not wish to be killed (as about 3,000 of us were on 9/11). Why not propose to your Muslim brethern (we’re all sons of Abraham) that they call a Koran-atutional convention and adopt an amendment to their holy book negating the passage(s) about it being OK (or is it a duty) to kill infidels. Once that is rammed through, then maybe all of us out here in middle-of-the-road land America will listen when you tell us that this war is a mistake (that the war is going badly, if it is, is not evidence it is a mistake). None of this is a George Bush or a GOP issue. If you lunatics happen to get control of the Democrat party (doubtful) and then put a latter-day Neville Chamberlain at the head of your ticket in ‘08, you’ll be stunned at how many Americans still have images of planes crashing into the World Trade Center dancing in their heads.
