It’s Getting Ugly Out There
We know about the guy who pooped on the flag, and the pleasant chant the children said while burning us in effigy.
Chris reports that he got angry during the Gathering of Eagles.
“MURDERERS!! BABY-KILLERS!! and various hateful, expletive filled rants erupted from the advocates of peace as they slowly walked by. They referred to us as fascists, compared us to Nazis and informed us repeatedly that we were the problem for the country, not the answer. I have to say that I never thought I would hear words like this from my fellow countrymen. It angered me, and saddened me all at the same time. Our side responded to their hate-filled rants, giving as good as we got. Nothing could have prepared me for the appearance of the A.N.S.W.E.R. marchers carrying an upside-down American flag. Veterans howled and the crowd prepared to surge. Truthfully, had anyone moved to grab the flag from further desecration, I would have abdicated my responsibilities and joined the mass. The police moved in-between us and them and, of course, we allowed the rabble to exercise a foul representation of free speech. As the flag moved out of site I watched a wheelchair bound WWII Purple Heart recipient cry soundlessly. Rage welled up in me, and still we let the peace march walk by unmolested.

I’m waiting for the next installment report from SMASH.

I was there. There were more of us than them and what SMASH has written is 100% what I witnessed.
Scouts honor.
Out of intellectual curiosity, I went to the ANSWER website just to get THEIR perspective. I read what I would expect to read from a propaganda potpourri of outright lies, 1/2 truths and well..buffoonery. A world run by these folks would be right out of Aldous Huxley: Judge for yourself:

The New York City chapter of this group of Stalinist assclowns (A.N.S.W.E.R.) is headquartered not far from where I live. They are a ubiquitous presence at street demonstrations in New York. I am pleased to be able to report that they have zero credibility with anyone I know here, and most of my friends here tend to lean left, though not extremists.

I’m sorry. I was totally into the issue and subject, contemplating free speech vs. dishonor/immorality/ignorance until my train was completely derailed by “Stalinist Assclowns”.
I can’t tell you the visual I’ve got now…..I think only drinking something with “rock” or dog” in the title will fix this one…wait, that might be how to best reconcile the issue in the first place. Find the group leader, get him drunk, a few assclowns, a camera….. Oh hell, why go to the trouble. Photoshop!!!
