Back to the signs at the San Francisco protest this last weekend.

Agent zombie capture one sign that I really does rise to the level of insanity. It says, "Impeach Bush for Genocide at Home and Abroad." Here's the problem with saying something like that. What is the definition of genocide? Does the woman carrying the sign mean that Bush has tried to kill off all the Iraqis and all the citizens of New Orleans? If so, he appears to have been a wretchedly incompetent genocidal maniac in both cases. Too weird.

I told you this one was coming. The sign says, "U.S. Hands off Venezuela Support the Bolivian Revolution." This sign is from that Communist group, International Action Center. Very well done when you get right down to it. It even has the web site address. www.iacenterla.org-- Having so many Communists involved directly in the anti-war movement has really started to alarm the saner members of the coalition against the Iraqi War. Who in his right mind would want to be associated in people's minds as wanting to have a totalitarian state like the Soviet Union? What I find fascinating, when the groups against the war in Iraq disassociated themselves from International ANSWER and its front groups, they couldn't get too many people to show up on time and in place to have a proper rally. The one in Washington D.C. had about 200 people show up for the protest. Oooo, that's a growing movement all right. Oh, wait, one more thing about this sign. Venezuela and Bolivia have elected people who are socialists verging on Communists. They REALLY love old Fidel Castro. The problem they are having is that to keep their economies afloat they have had to adopt many free market reforms while at the same time undertaking a very large government intervention to alleviate poverty.

I kind find one of the t-shirts I see in one of picture to be very ironic. It says, "Killing One person is Murder. Killing 100000 is foreign policy." The quote is very similar to what Stalin said when he was derided about how many millions he had killed.

I saw this great sign. It shows a guy in an Arab keffiyeh next to a sign that says, "Stop the War in Iran before it starts." The war in Iran may not come about, but I wonder what the scenario would be if Iran really did get a nuclear bomb and used it on the U.S. I mean, would the same people who cried for Bush's impeachment for launching us on an illegal war then try to get him impeached for not stopping Iran from getting the Bomb? Interesting question that.

Look here for the verbage from Agent Zombie.

One of the pictures shows this guy in a t-shirt that says, "We are all Palestinians Now." His sign says, "Bush equals Hitler." Whenever Conservatives see that sign or something similar, they wonder where the guy holding the sign has misplaced his sanity. It may be clear to you as to connection Bush has to Nazism, but it surely is not clear to people on the Right. And again, Nazism is on the Left, not on the modern Right. The modern Right wants less government and less central control. The modern Left wants more government and more central control.

There's these two signs on the same poles. One says, "FREE IRAQ&PALISTINE! Stop U.S.& Israeli Killers & Torturers! End their imperialist Occupations Now!" The second says, "9-11 WAS A FRAUD! An Excuse for Imperialist Wars to Control World Oil Supplies and Impose U.S. & Israeli Empire." These two themes are throughout the rest of the signs. Too many people in the anti-war movement believe that 9/11 was a plot by Bush and the neocons to create the excuse to go to war with the entire world and impose some form of an imperial America. For some reason, Osama Bin Laden's boast that he and Al Quaeda blew up the World Trade Center has gone right by them or they choose to ignore that little detail. These two signs cause rational people to doubt the bear's sanity. Or at least it causes Conservatives to doubt the bearer's sanity.

A sign that says, "Support our brave AWOL's, CO's and Deserters" can really fire up the average American. I mean, I have no problem with Conscientious Objectors. They seem kind of strange to me. If someone signs up for the military in a time of war, why would they expect to be exempted from combat? I know, there are reasons why a pacifist might want to be part of the military and do support tasks, but it seems kind of silly to me. Absent Without Leave and Deserters have never had big fans in the United States, particularly since we went to all volunteer. Again, why sign up for the military if you don't want to go to war? Ah, well, the sign may be push for support among other protesters.

The sign that says, "If we must kill, let it be Capitalism" is sure going to cause average people to become anti-war. Again, the Communism that showed up in this parade and protest is not a great way to promote the anti-war message.

Now, get ready for this one. On a backpack, it says, "Jail Bush for the murder of JFK." I sat there laughing when I saw that. On the Right we call this a symptom of Bush Derangement Syndrome. I mean, come on, The Left is saying that Bush is a total moron, yet at the same time he can do all these superhuman things. He can cause a tsunami in Southeast Asia. He can plot to change the course of a hurricane so that it hurts Black people. he can get... God knows what can happen. Every time I turn around Bush is being blamed for something else that is either a physical event or impossible, I mean, the Sign makes the case that George Bush went back in time and killed John F. Kennedy. How the hell did he do that? Come on, tell me, I REALLY want to know. Get this people. This is the center of the Democratic Party right now. And all the Liberals are wondering why they can't get elected as a proud Liberal. With friends like these, dude, you just don't need no enemies.

Then there was a sign that said, "I support the Iraqi Resistance." Iraqi Resistance? As in the head hackers and bombers of women and children? As in the people who blew up a Shi'ite shrine in hopes that they could cause a civil war? People, get a grip. Anyone who says that has a problem with their patriotism, if not their sanity. Why does the Left ignore the torture that the so-called Iraqi Resistance does and come down hard on perceived torture that America does? Wait... Oh, yeah, torture where you tear someone's flesh splash their blood on the wall is equivalent to embarrassing them telling them dirty stories. Again, get a grip, the Irreconcilables are laughing at all the useful idiots in the parade from this last Saturday. If you do not believe that, then you may be hopeless.

Oh, I forgot about the anarchists. Yes, indeed. The anti-war movement's parades and protests have attracted the Black bloc. These are hard core anarchists who really want to dispense with government. They have a reputation of starting fights and throwing Molotov cocktails at buildings. They haven't killed anyone yet, but many watchers are waiting for that to happen at some point.

Oh, and boy were there a LOT of Palestinian flags out there. I want you to do a thought experiment. Suppose that the Palestinians stopped blowing up Jews in Israel and started making their country work on the West Bank and Gaza. Do you honestly believe that the Jews would continue to do raids into the occupied lands? Hamas has said specifically that they want to drive the Jews into the sea and kill as many Jews as they can.

Let's see. Who else was involved in the San Francisco protest? Oh, did I mention Code Pink? No, I didn't these are another anti-war group, though not a Communist group per se. They bill themselves as CODEPINK: Women for Peace and as anti-war feminists. Their protest at Walter Reed Medical center where many disabled American soldiers are treated have caused some major league bad press, because the soldiers there feel that they are being disrespectful and insensitive to their pain and suffering.

Hmm... Who else showed up? One picture shows "The World Can't Wait" group. Another anti-war group. Oh, and we wouldn't want to leave out the International Solidarity Movement. This is Rachel Corrie's group. They support the Palestine' right to blow up Jews. I'm not sure they state it that way, but it sure looks that way.

All things must come to an end. I am in the process of getting this show revamped. I just had to share with you some of the sights at the third annual anti-Iraqi War protest in San Francisco, because it makes the point I have been making for the last few months. The Left and the Right are talking past each other. How in the world are we as Conservatives and Liberals going to get along, if the two sides believe that the other side is crazed or demonic or both? I surely do not know.

This last weekend was too hectic for me. Pancake Day shot up Friday and Saturday. I was on the resolutions committee for the Republican Party of Brazos County. Me and this other guy modified slightly the Education portion of the county platform. Then I had to do this that and the other on a few other projects.

Anyway. I will now turn everything over to McKenzie Pequa the Third. She will play you some music. Maybe her music will soothe you to sleep. Maybe not.

Take it away Mac.
