Good Lord! Cindy Sheehan's kid is turning in his grave from embarrassment. Here's a clue Cindy..If you don't/didn't believe in war don't let your kids enlist..there's a good chance they may see some fighting oh wait...unless we were to reason with the terrorists. Maybe you, Obama & Pelosi (the three stooges) can go reason with the terrorists that strap bombs on their own kids and mentally disabled. God help our country!

I would contend that our country is indeed in trouble but it is because of the stooges who name themselves after puppets and can't put together a couple of coherent sentences. I would also guess, Fonzy, that you don't have kids (at least not kids old enough to enlist) or you wouldn't make such naive proclamations.

I 'contend' that you're a full-on wiener. I'm glad you're not protecting our freedom Sternberg.

Thanks for posting this. I was in that crowd and I felt so much hope at that time. It is, though, so disturbing that so few young people participate in antiwar things. We've allowed our kids to be raised by the rightwing media over the past 20 years, so political activism like this attracts almost entirely people middle-aged and older. Young people have been brainwashed by media ridiculing this sort of thing so they want no part of it.
