Now That Obama is President What Happened to the Anti War Movement?
Ha! When Bush was in office it was "Bush is a War Criminal and we should pull out now". Now the Anti War crowd is ...... well ....... no where to be found. Thats despite the fact that Obama raised the number of troops in Afghanistan. I guess war was used as a way to attack Bush but now that Bush is no longer president there is no need march on washington? This shows you how dishonest the anti war movement was. War is only bad until a socialist is in office. It reminds me of the time the socialist/communist anti war organizations of WWII changed their mind about war overnight after the NAZI's invaded the USSR.

It is ironic that bush was such a unifier of people who's only common cause was thier undying hatred of bush and a select few of his cohorts (Rove, Cheney, Bolton). This spasmic orgasm of hatred brought groups together who really have very little in common. It brought communists and blue collar middle america trade unionists together, palestinian agitators and gay rights supporters together, anarchists and big government supporters together, and other combinations that leave your head scratching.
Once thier Emanuel Goldberg was gone the 8 year hate couldn't overcome the differences in poltical motivations that such a vast movement consisted of. What is left is the true hard core anti-war people, the anti-war (unless its against caplitalists, then in that case PEW PEW I'MA FIRIN MY LAZOR), and a few other fringe nutters.
It also brought together many families of grieving parents whose children were tricked into going to Iraq. Don't forget those.
Nice loaded statement there. How do you trick members of a voluenteer military into doing things the military is supposed to do?
And of those famlies you discuss, the most popular person of the group, Cindy Sheehan has been abandoned and left high and dry by those who held her on a pedestal. I wonder why?
