Where are all the war protests?

August 14, 2009

Before the “messiah” became president, we had war protests quite frequently. At one point, they were making national headlines and it seemed we couldn’t walk around town without bumping into some protester who despised the evils of our country.

Now everyone is so quiet. Yet, daily I notice more men are dying in Afghanistan and Iraq. Is it me, or does it seem like the liberals are compromising their belief in pacifism now that Obama has clearly shown no intentions of slowing down the unconstitutional “War on Colonialism…er Terror”.

If there are protests, the media could care less. The media believes it is their job to make Obama a success.

I think what we really have is that the war protesters weren’t really opposed to war. If so, they’d be storming the gates of the White House with their home made signs, grammatical errors and all! Instead, they are so excited about getting a fellow Stalinist in office, they forgot that they were supposed to oppose the war even after the parties switched.

Again, I believe they were more about socialism and the welfare state than they were about ending this God forsaken war! Ironically, or maybe not so ironic, the only people who have opposed this war, and still do, are the libertarians, who from the beginning stated their reasons for opposing this war and many others like it.

So, if you, as a dread locked war protester, who grew up on the mean streets of upper-class suburbia, feel alone in your bold attempt at ending American Colonialism, there is hope. While libertarians like myself oppose this war for different reasons than yourself, we do have solid points as to why you ought to consider embracing classical liberalism. And just think, you’ll be able to run circles around your liberal friends when debating economics, and the Constitution!
