"The netnuts are fond of calling those of us who support the mission in Iraq chickenhawks. What do you call someone who sits on their ass in front of a keyboard, railing against the President, claiming that the United States is falling into a dictatorship, and writing about how awful this war is and yet refuses to practice the kinds of civil disobedience that their fathers and mothers used to actually bring the Viet Nam war to an end?
"I call them what they are; rank cowards. There should be a million people on the mall today. Instead, there might be 50,000. Today’s antiwar left talks big but cowers in the corner. I have often written about how unserious the left is about what they believe. The reason is on the mall today. If they really thought that the United States was on the verge of becoming a dictatorship are you seriously trying to tell me that any patriotic American wouldn’t do everything in their power to prevent it rather than mouth idiotic platitudes and self serving bromides?
"I know what I would do if I actually believed the United States was in danger of slipping into some kind of authoritarian, anti-Constitutional nightmare. And it wouldn’t be sitting at this keyboard trying to come up with cleverest way to skewer my political opponent. And I know I wouldn’t be alone either. The fact is, the left is not blessed with any special insights into what evil George is trying to do to the Constitution. They are a small, pitiful minority of paranoid, self aggrandizing mountebanks who are courageous when it comes to calling people names but abject cowards when it comes to actually standing up for their beliefs and putting iron behind their words of change."
ANTI-WAR PROTEST: WHERE IS EVERYONE?

Oh, but you don't understand, Mair! The fools who are against the war, are also the same fools who want to confiscate firearms. They think crime rates would take a nosedive if possession of all firearms were made illegal, except by the police and military. Yeah, right!
Then, how do they explain the problems in the U.K.?
I purchased "Ms. Mossberg" when the spousal unit was sent to the CZR for what was supposed to be 6 months, wound up being 2 years ....................... our daughter & I were alone in the house, out in the country - I love living outside "city limits", but am not unaware of potential problems .................... thankfully, the closest I came to using it was to scare away feral pigs that found our 5 acres a fun place to root ..................
