So, anti-war protesters marched on Washington this weekend, Cindy Sheehan was arrested in front of the White House, and anti-war, anti-America, socialist blogsites posted, "We did it!" But...what did they do? Get alot of folks to show up. Get alot of media coverage. Get...uh... Let me see, get...
We know their stated goal is for our troops to come home...they didn't get that. So what goal was realized? To get alot of folks to show up...get alot of media coverage? What does "We did it!" mean? Of course, I know the agenda of the 'peace' movement is much more far-reaching, but for the face they are showing the public, I ask, what does "We did it!" mean?
I'm a strong advocate of grassroots action and more Americans taking their place in the public square, but the effects the anti-war movement can have on public opinion and the worldview of our youth do not produce results that keep us free from tyrants and terrorists.
I don't know what kind of throw-away papers you have in your town, but here in the San Francisco Bay Area we have practically every leftist group represented, with their propaganda readily available in newsprint at local, albeit mostly 'health food', stores.
One such paper, the North Bay Progressive, had a recent article entitled,
"Recruitment Woes" which talked about The People's Revolutionary Organization made up of high school students who want to stop the war by shutting down Army Recruiting offices, in this case, in my home town. The article reported, "Our goal is to push the army recruitiers out of our town...if the armed services don't have anyone to fight for them, they won't be able to have a war." For more Read Page Two.
My show today with Steve Beren, a former anti-war, socialist, protester/organizer who supports the war on terrorism today is pretty powerful. You can hear it online.
Hear today's show (See 9/23/05)
