Speak for yourself

So apparently today marks the one year anniversary of President Bush's Re-election and there are Anti-War and Anti-Bush protests all over the place. I know I saw a sign for it when I was visiting my alma mater last week. Look how ridiculous these people look!!!
If you're looking to shed a few unwanted pounds, go to their website World Can't Wait and you'll surely be disgusted and lose your appetite.

What pisses me off is that these morons, who are probably barely educated at all, are encouraging middle school and high school students to ditch class and come to these rallies!! As a teacher, I find this to be absolutely absurd and deplorable. Middle schoolers? COME ON people! I was still playing with Barbies and fascinated with Duck Hunt in middle school. Has the curriculum shifted so much from geography and our founding fathers to foreign policy and Anti-Bush rhetoric? (knowing some of my fellow educators, this wouldn't suprise me). These people are encouraging 5th and 6th graders to leave the relative safety of their school buildings to go out unsupervised in a situation where things could potentially get out of hand? (That's saying they actually have people at these demonstrations). I don't understand how asking kids to ditch class will help boot out the Bush Regime.

This is what they say on the website word for word:

High and Middle School Students: Walk-out, skip school!

Whatever, kids will ditch, not because of their seething anger and outrage over the War in Iraq, but rather to GET OUT OF SCHOOL! I have students faking stomaches all the time. Okay, rant off.

This is the kind of garbage this website is crammed full of balls deep:

Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. (They've been listening to Dick Durbin too much....my God) The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance. Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and outraged by this (but there are millions and millions who support President Bush). They recognize the need for a vehicle to express this outrage, yet they cannot find it; politics as usual cannot meet the enormity of the challenge, and people sense this. ("people", speak for yourself...replace "people" with moonbats)

There is not going to be some magical "pendulum swing." People who steal elections (here we go again, get some new material, that was almost 6 years ago!) and believe they're on a "mission from God" will not go without a fight. (whats so horrible about that? Better than being on a jihad from Allah) There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies into "leaders" who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually serves to demobilize people. (wow, so these people don't even like democrats? maybe they aren't so bad...so who would they have lead this country, Cindy Sheehan? Maybe Saddam?)

But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn — or be forced — to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the responsibility to do it.

And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history. (good luck with that...must be nice to have all this spare time to change the course of history. While you're changing history I'll be working and help pay for your welfare sucking asses.)

To that end, on November 2, the first anniversary of Bush's "re-election", we will take the first major step in this by organizing a truly massive day of resistance all over this country. People everywhere will walk out of school, they will take off work, they will come to the downtowns and town squares and set out from there, going through the streets and calling on many more to JOIN US. They will repudiate this criminal regime, making a powerful statement: "NO! THIS REGIME DOES NOT REPRESENT US! AND WE WILL DRIVE IT OUT!"

November 2 must be a massive and public proclamation that WE REFUSE TO BE RULED IN THIS WAY. November 2 must call out to the tens of millions more who are now agonizing and disgusted. November 2 will be the beginning — a giant first step in forcing Bush to step down (yeah, a few dirty crying hippies will do that), and a powerful announcement that we will not stop until he does so — and it will join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.

This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will to try to stop us. (yeah, damn that CONSERVATIVE PRO-BUSH MEDIA thats always trying to silence the naysayers). But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.

The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.

These next days are crucial. The call you are reading has to get out to millions right away — on the internet, passed out as flyers in communities, published as ads in newspapers. DO NOT WAIT!! GET ORGANIZED!! If you agree with this statement, add your name to it!!! And do more than that: send it to friends, get them to sign it, organize a meeting, take it to your church, your school, your union, your health club, your barber shop, to concerts and libraries and family gatherings, everywhere you go. Raise money, lots of money. Get people together, make plans to be there on November 2, and to build for it.

People like these douchbags are not worth dying for.....I wouldn't even want to breathe the same air or share the same time zone with these people. Its a good thing our beloved (by me anyways) soldiers are fighting and dying over there so the terrorists will not attack us here.....where MOST of us are good, upstanding, logical, loving Americans. I say take this whole group, fly them over to Baghdad, and give them oozies and point them at American Soldiers....b/c thats essentially what they are doing by constantly badmouthing our country and the War on Terrorism. Might as well shoot our boys right in the head and save a step.
