An Ordinary Anti-War March

Can’t we stage an anti-war protest without communists? Without hate-slingers? Without Hollywood liberals? Can we have a march with just ordinary Americans? No Bush=Hitler signs. Just Americans voicing their displeasure for the Iraq war in a real and tangible way without worrying about being associated with radicals.

And if we do so, will the right-wing attack machine still call us unpatriotic? Cowards? Will they say we hate the troops?

I want to have a march without the anger. With no simmering hatred. With no ultimate agenda. I want ordinary people of all stripes and creed. All of us with just one clear message: Mr. President, we are the deciders. We are an engaged populace, and we think we’re headed in the wrong direction.

Or maybe you do need a plan. Maybe it can be: Let’s withdraw to Kurdistan and Afghanistan. I don’t know if that’s the right move.

I just want a march with no commies allowed.

    But if all your conditions were met, that would be an extraordinary antiwar march.

    Guess you’re not all that experienced with such things, eh? ::chuckle:: Leftist radicals always find a way to crash the party, where antiwar marches—or any sort of street demonstration—are concerned.

    Even if it’s in the heart of Middle America, there will always be a loose leftist cannon to join in the proceedings to shake things up a bit… that is, after all, what they do and are good at doing.

    That said, that’s an excellent idea you posed, and I hope it’s not just rhetorical, nor just for amusement. There could be great value in a march “with no commies allowed” as it would speak volumes inasmuch as what the powers-that-be, and the mainstream media, would perceive.

    Yet still on the other hand, this is America, isn’t it? Shouldn’t anyone who wants to voice their displeasure at government policies be allowed to do so, even if they have to crash the march of non-ideological concerned citizens?
