How Does It Feel To Be Part Of The Problem?

Now, folks...I'm linking you to a FoxNews story. So don't pay attention to the subtext, or you might go blind. Just read the 'facts'.

Long story short, the anti-war organization Code Pink, which consists mainly of mothers of former soldiers, killed soldiers, or people who might one day be soldiers, has been protesting every day since September during operating hours in front of Berkley, CA's Marine Corps Recruitment center.

Most recently they have had a Harry Potter themed protest by telling participants to wear pointy hats and chant Wiccan spells to end the war and gather more supporters.

Does anyone else long for the days of the march on Washington? Bob Dylan and Joan Baez sang a duet of "Chimes of Freedom". Martin Luther King, Jr. stood in front of half a million people and gave the world, "I Have A Dream".

And now, all we have left is hippies and mothers wearing Pink t-shirts, shouting over each other and casting magic spells. I want the war to be over...but these poor misguided Yentas are part of the problem and should all be arrested for obscenity and manslaughter, because all they're really doing is grossing me out and getting more soldiers killed by making the anti-war movement look foolish.

Well done, Code Pink. Well done. Hope you sleep well knowing you've instilled a retroactive regret that women's suffrage ever took place.
