Yeah I was just talking to Buff about that. I think we need to encourage all the people who have been protesting and members of these socialist groups who love to coddle evil dictators to act as human shields.
Hell I will pay for their one way ticket. But they must lay out in front of important targets. Such as anti-aircraft missle batteries, or scud missle launchers and such.

Ah, here we go with the bullshit. New motto for the 21st Century - "Kill an a-rab fer kee-rist?"
No - I did not go out and protest the war this weekend, and have no plans to do so. I've got friends and family either there or on their way. I think Saddam needs to go - I've got serious questions about the timing.
But I'll tell you what - I can understand why people did so. Some of them are la-la leftists who couldn't find reality with a roadmap printed on recycled paper. The morons chanting "stop the imperialist war machine" don't have a clue, never have, never will.
Most of the people who went out there this weekend weren't like that. Most of them just aren't sure if this is the right thing to do. Most of them are disturbed by the unilateral nature of the action; most of them aren't convinced by the "trust me, there's a connection between Iraq and terrorism" coming out of the White House. They have the right to do that, you know, and they can do that and still be patriotic Americans.
I have no use for the morons who still think they are protesting the Vietnam war. At the same time, I don't think any more, or any less, of them than I do with the fools who believe they have a patent on patriotism. I have little sympathy and less respect for those who have minds so small as to need to label the people who disagree with them as some kind of enemy. I have NO respect for the pseudointellect of people who bandy about jingoistic jargon like "socialist groups" to label folks that have the audacity to express opinions that they disagree with.
So I'll tell you what, Mikey ... put your money where your mouth is, bro. Instead of funding a trip for a socialist pinko anti-war protester, why don't you and Buffy just go on over and lead the invasion? I'm sure they need all the help they can get; and if you can't actually do any fighting, you can run ahead and identify the missle batteries and scud launchers, dressed up in red, white and blue pro-war cheerleader outfits. Better use of your money ... more bang for your buck, you might say.
