Comments for Obama's Wars Trigger New Activists at http://www.thenewamerican.com , comment 1 to 10 out of 10 comments http://www.thenewamerican.com Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:55:26 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/1725#comment-3892 Thank you Jim Ostrowski for your efforts. I wish we could all be enjoying the peace that Obama promised to bring but obviously he was lying his ass off to get elected. Even worse are all the sheep who continue to support him for reasons of political/monetary gain. Have a look at a shill site like alternet dot org and you will see the trend.. - I could be Fishing...

So, it was direct knowledge, not Fox News that I relied on. - Jim Ostrowski Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:50:46 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/1725#comment-3859 Veterans for Peace, L.I. Alliance for peaceful Alternatives, Code Pink, Win Without War, UFPJ, Peace Action, and many other leftist groups oppose Obama's wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Stop tarring us all with the same stereotyped brush and relying on the Fawning Corporate Media for information about progressives. - Edtehredpill Tue, 25 Aug 2009 17:07:11 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/1725#comment-3856 My "progressive" parents marched against the Viet Nam war, leaving me often to while away hours on their hippy van's floor, dreaming of clashes between flower children and the thin blue line, peaceniks with Mao’s Little Red Book and bags of homegrown thought of themselves as heroes never the ones committing the crime. This was a time of media manipulation and campus unrest of doctored photographs and media generated police brutality, Time and Look’s editors and magicians doing their best to show the local police as thugs and rioters martyrs, pictured cops with batons brutalizing hippies in Philly, same photo in Life told us the brute cops were now in the “windy city." Street rioters called anti-war marchers and media in action conspiring like criminals and doing their best to hide a hippie’s burning camel pressed up to a cop horse's hide, making the poor frightened animal to rear up in pain, but it resurrected the caption of POLICE BRUTALITY” to come alive again! "Beautiful, man" my parents would pot up and say: "the fuzz are the heavies and we're the good guys!" "It's kind of 'mind blowing'" they'd often times ponder and wonder why the middle class bourgeoisie never seemed to catch on? Why the idea of conspiracy didn’t come down on them like lighting and thunder? Street demonstrations are theater to exploit capitalism's supposed evil nature and it’s plain to see that “we're just smelly street actors who go into action awaiting the camera to catch the police’s slightest infraction." My parents were willing fools, lazy, shiftless liars and perhaps even hired, following plans easily exposed by Jan Kozaks 'Not a Shot is Fired.' It was the book that helped to open my eyes and to win my mind back, years ago when I ordered and read it from an ad on a John Birch Society tract. ;) - Lee Gonzales Tue, 25 Aug 2009 11:07:19 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/1725#comment-3850 This will turn out like the health care debate. The left is portraying the protesters as "right-wing nut jobs" who "didn't complain when their guy did it." The same thing will happen here. Libertarians will hit the streets protesting, while the progressives will denounce them by saying "they didn't protest when it was Bush's war." Of course, libertarians did, but that won't be what the public hears - they'll hear the media's take on it, that we are only opposing the war now that it's Obama's war. I agree that the left is a bunch of hypocrites. I think a lot of left-leaning libertarians voted for Obama hoping that he would end the war and legalize marijuana. Since he's done neither, now it's time for libertarians to stop supporting the two parties. Bush betrayed us, and Obama is just doing what socialists do. We need real liberals, classical ones, in Congress and in the White House. Will America get their collective heads out of their butts in 2010, or not? That remains to be seen. - Ed Burley Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:15:39 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/1725#comment-3847 Look up Report from Iron Mountain on the internet. It was written by a secret CIA group during Vietnam. It is clearly the game plan of the military industrial establishment. When your entire pay check and future income depends on war, this is what you get. The Iraq war jumped our military budget to $800 billion. This makes a lot of people rich and powerful. - Thomas Paine Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:31:27 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/1725#comment-3846 Republicans who are partisan are still suffering under the illusion that they must defend Bush's wars. If they were to come out strongly against the wars, they would have to admit that they were bamboozled by Bush. Principled activists (including most JBS activists) understand that when the party (D or R) leaves good sense, it should be chastized for it. However, even the partisans will come on board when they realize it is a way to capture the middle ground and have another "contract with America." We can use the partisanship of typical Republicans to punish the D's. At the same time, it would be nice to have them actually follow through when they get into office. This is accomplished only through Congress, not the president. Congress is the key. Let's elect and pressure Congressmen who will follow the Constitution. Ignore the presidential race, if you please. (I don't want you to waste your time, simply said.) - Mikey Pinkie-rings Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:05:34 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/1725#comment-3843 So those liberals thought that obama would end the war and bring the troops home POOR PATHETIC LIBERALS YOUVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED AGAIN - Flu-Bird Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:53:48 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/1725#comment-3842 Please, are you so niave? You sound like you live in the beltway with the idiot politicians who never venture out into main street or suburb America. The Republicans are very happy to continue to support what is now Obama's War. They are not going to oppose Obama and the war, even if it is now his war. I know these people. They are my friends and family. They are quite content allowing the slaughter to continue. Even my brother in law, who is an Evangelical minister is quite OK with the continued wars of agression. Now that Obama and the Democrats are in office, you only have about 10% of the population that opposes the wars. Regrettably, revolution is all that is left to us and we're so fat and spoiled, we'll go down without a fight. - Stephen Garland Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:11:26 +0100
