Anti-American? NO U.

This is the same shit that myself and countless others faced during the anti-war protests in L.A.. The first one that I encountered during my first actual anti-war protest consisted of a shrivelled, gremlin-looking old man standing behind a police blockade near a cafe, fervently shaking a hastily scrawled-upon newspaper that read "MOVE TO CUBA OR VENEZUELA" while yelling "GO AHEAD AND LEAVE! WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE!". Marginal, at best. Laughable, to say the least. The next protest downtown yielded about 15 crazies with various signs talking about Jesus and the threat of Islam and blahblahblah, complete with a flabby bearded fucker on a megaphone yelling about us being traitors and whatever else may have been a talking point at the time.

The pro-war supporters were a bit more numerous the next time around(the March 17th protest in Hollywood), which means to say there were about 30 of them as opposed to 1 or 15. Yet all the same...doughy housewives, obese, bearded older men, fat young bespectacled girls, and geeky, spindly, acne-coated college-age guys...all waving signs and flags and calling us un-American, claiming "the preznit is right", ad nauseam.

The one uniform thing about all of them(aside from that many of them don't have the balls to put on a uniform, hyuk!) was that they all seemed to feed into this bloodlust, this 'us against them' bullshit, the idea that the U.S. is genuinely facing a massive, unstoppable threat from the Muslim nations of the world, and that anyone who opposed their death-fetish might as well be donning headscarves and screaming "ALLAHU AKBAR!".

Fuck that. If they wanted to kill us as badly as you paranoid weiners think they do, they'd be here in droves. The bullshit line about "fighting them over there so that we don't have to fight them over here" carries absolutely no water, because as I said...if they wanted to be over here, they would be. No amount of TSA security theater would stop them if they were bloodthirsty enough. No amount of bullshit immigration crackdowns would filter out furious terrorists hellbent on bombing Americans.

Unfortunately, a sizable portion of the American population seems to need something to be afraid of, something to fear, some boogeyman in the closet that they can piss their pants over, and then have the gall to gripe about big government. You pussies have given the concept of big government a fucking mandate to take over our daily lives, yet still you whine. Fuck you. I want America's balls and dignity back. And you ethnocentric, fearmongering assholes aren't going to lord it over us any longer.

yeah thats right, we're all fat an old an ignorant. I was at the DC rally on March 17th, I seem to recall about 7,000 idiots marching and cowering behind police chanting all of the best "I love my country" rhetoric I have heard for a long time.

No I don't want you folks to leave, I need an example for my kids.. "Do not live your life like these folks"

BTW, I accidently found this site, and I won't be back. You keep having your opinions and I'll have mine.

And don't think I'm a Bush supporter either, I am just a True American that believes when our brothers are fighting, we should not give the enemy hope and ammunition... I see you do not see it that way and it is your right.

I'll give the above credit where it's due - at least he respects the right of free speech and difference of opinion. Can't ask for much more.

I disagree with him entirely, but at least you can respect a person like that.

Also, I fail to see how protesting something gives 'the enemy' "hope and ammunition". Silly me for not realizing that 'the enemy' is actually feeding off of the anti-war sentiment in our country, and not the fact that we've invaded their country, completely fucked it up, and are pouring more and more sons and daughters into this increasingly muddled war effort for absolutely no reason. Yep, silly me.

Also, don't mistake dissent for lack of support, because if you think that wanting them to get the fuck out and come home to what's left of their families and their lives constitutes not caring about the guys and gals in uniform, you are very, very, very wrong.

I just love how people call themselves 'true Americans' as if everyone else is lesser because they don't follow the same beliefs. That just about voids out any 'I respect your opinion' comments right there. Hopefully when your children see people standing up for their freedom of speech they will realize what a 'TRUE AMERICAN' really is. You want to live your life where you should allow the military to dictate your actions go right ahead. When the men and women who served proudly come home and see that you refused to stand up for the rights they fought (and many died for) I'll bet they'll be more proud of those people who stood their ground. Personally I think refusing to say what you feel for fear of giving the enemy ammunition pretty much gives them all the ammunition they need. You can live your life in fear of the enemy all you want. This American is too proud to let that fear regulate their thoughts and beliefs.

And that's the main thing is that they're sitting around talking about how we're doing this and that for the enemy, but they're living in a constant paralyzing fear of what "could" be happening, as it's their own take on what someone halfway across the globe who doesn't even think the same way as a coddled American, and therefore automatically flawed.

For all the things that Americans get butt-hurt over, our little qualms are shit compared to what these guys face: true religious persecution (like death, not just "oh damn I can't carve the ten commandments into the floor of the Capitol Building = persecution!"), cultural hatred/backlash, random acts of violence...I don't agree with their ideologies or methods, but to act like their emotional tripwires even remotely resemble those of Westerners is pretty intellectually dishonest.

And I love how a lot of war supporters often talk about how deranged Muslim extremists are, yet in the same breath seem to know exactly what such "deranged" people want to hear and seem to know what they like and dislike. For as much as you guys work to dehumanize people, you sure do know a lot about how they tick. (note: That latter statement is not an endorsement of them or their actions, as religious extremism of any sort is deplorable, even anti-religious extremism)
