The Main Stream Media – in lockstep with the “fairness doctrine” (suddenly in popularity again) are talking about the violence of the extreme left and the extreme right. About the “nuts” on the left and the patriotic gunrights advocates of the right.
How many people were shot on the jeering other side in the huge anti-war marches in Chicago.
Umm – let me think. None.
How many people were violent in those marches?
Umm – well the police occasionally. And to be fair – some bottles were tossed. In most of the marches I attended families with children in strollers attended – and there was no violence at all on our side.
Did these wild crowds in their frenzied madness tie up traffic for an hour or so?
Yes but to be fair it was more like two hours.
Were any motorists attacked?
None.
How many people throughout the world during those marches carried guns and used them?
Hmm. I don’t think any used them. But, of course, in the interests of fairness perhaps some carried weapons.
Sputter sputter — but flags were burned.
Yes, they were and there was some amusing and on-target theatre also going on.
How is Iraq doing now?
We’ve pretty much ruined it in sanctioned and targeted bombing of the population. Smart bombs you know. But lots of people are making money – the governing class, of course. In 2010 according to the UN, over 140,000 refugees fled to Syria and Jordan, et al. And thousands more in prior years. Over a million are internally displaced. Of course, we musn’t forget that a statue was toppled and Sadam was eliminated. So – there’s that.
What about Falujah?
We destroyed it for its own good.
But we’ve secured oil for ourselves in any event.
No, not really. I believe for instance other nations such as China are buying that oil. And they didn’t have to go to war – smart people.
Why aren’t there any marches now?
The American people are dispirited by a government that is not interested in them, yet takes away their money for the upper classes. And let’s face it – huge numbers in the world came out and no one paid any attention to us before so…. Oh — plus we’re scared now.
I got nuthin.
