happy sunday, j.w.
no sniping on this thread, please. (every other thread, sure ! but since i boxed myself in on this one, i'm hiding my frustration beneath a thin veneer of sanctimonius righteousness.
)
here's your chance. what is it that non-bush supporters "don't get" ? how is it that if you are against bush, you are unpatriotic ?
Sundays are always happy
I have never said being against Bush is unpatriotic. Matter of fact, I have no problem with "demonstrators" ... even the ones in Crawford.
This particular demonstration (the one in Crawford) is sure to backfire, though, and that's the part the Left "doesn't get".
Wait and see.
as a matter of fact, i do not think i have seen you say that. but we know that a lot of others have, right ?
do you have any idea where they're coming from ?
the crawford gathering ? hmmm, hard to say for me. i get the point, a lot of others get the point. it appears to have put a little umph in the anti-war movement. even if some of us aren't of the opinion that the u.s. should pull out first thing tomorrow, i/we believe that it has been handled so badly by the admin and the pentagon that it will never turn out the way that was represented. and it really does look to me like it will end in either a theocracy, a heavily islamic constitution or civil war. none of which is good for the iraqis and will be horrible for the united states.
but as the 2004 election showed, people are fickle. it seems like america is generally fearful and only a terror alert away from a temporary swing to the hard right.
so, although i don't think you're positively correct on the effort backfiring, it is possible and wouldn't surprise me much.
