"There was a "anti-war protester" by the name of David Jenkins who is a Army veteran, who made the point to AdamSmith and myself that he had bail money because he loved to fight. "

I forgot about that Tweet, this jackass came up to me and got in my face and asked if I had my bond money. I didn't know what the F the guy was talking about, so I said no. He kept trying to block me from taking photos so I kept holding the camera to his side and snapping shots. He told me that he always has his bond money, or maybe bail money I can't remember, because when he comes to these events "he likes to fight." First I though, what a jackass, then I thought typical PEACE activist, then I just ignored him and he finally went away when he realized, like the bully, that he is nothing more than a pittyful impotent liberal full of nothing but hot air. All bark and no bite. Bottom line, if he had an ounce of real man in him he wouldn't be a liberal.

Unfortunately I don't have a frontal shot of him, but here is is backside. He is wearing a cat in the hat hat.

Conservative Cavalry: Noonan's On The Way

http://www.command-post.org/2004/2_archive...ves/014249.html

America needs a conservative cavalry in Congress to enact reforms, keep political hacks in check, and blunt the influence of special interest lobbies. To this end, Scarborough challenges candidates to sign his "10-Point Pledge to Clean Up Congress," which includes everything from term limits and pay freezes to spending caps and regular professional audits.

75 SACTO Conservative Cavalry
http://townhall.meetup.com/83/

IDS's announcement that a future Conservative government would repeal a ban on hunting would have been met with whoops and hollers five years ago but such is the state of the party that most now consider that compromising on a Middle Way Bill is more realistic than fighting a rearguard action for long enough for the Conservative cavalry to come riding over the hill. Worse still, the comparison between the success of the Alliance with its limited funds and small staff and the Conservative party with big budgets, big staff and big egos is deeply unflattering to CCO. The Alliance manages to motivate massive grassroots support of the kind that the Tory party can only dream of and can put more people on the streets than the Conservatives have members.

Earlham student hits pundit with pie

 
Associated Press
March 30, 2005
 

RICHMOND, Ind. -- A pie in the face didn't silence conservative pundit William Kristol during a speech at Earlham College.

A man who later was identified as a student at the private Quaker college jumped onto the stage and splattered Kristol with the pie Tuesday night about 30 minutes into a speech about U.S. foreign policy.

Members of the audience jeered the student as he walked off the stage, then applauded as Kristol wiped the goo off his face with a paper towel and said, "Just let me finish this point," the Palladium-Item reported.

Ann Coulter causes stir at KU
Heckling, standing ovations interrupt right-wing commentator

Conservative columnist and author Ann Coulter was greeted with a mixture of standing ovations and heckling after she took center stage Tuesday night at Kansas University's Lied Center.

As soon as she stepped up to the microphone, Coulter fired off one zinger after another about liberalism while promising to answer questions from left-wing members in the audience who could "thrash their way to a coherent thought."

"I've come to find I like liberals a lot more," Coulter said early in her speech. "They're kind of cute when they're cold, shivering and afraid."

just to start with, i'm not conservative, nor liberal, nor socialist, nor middle of the road.  i just kinda think that kind of thinking is too narrow for anyone to fit into, especially these days.

anyway, i was reading this thread and a thought popped into my head.  why is it immediately assumed that if one is against the war, they're against violence in general?  there are so many factors involved.  and secondly, if one is anti-war and non-pacifist, is that necessarily hypocritical?  i guess i'm just asking questions to get the gears turning because i agree with many criticisms of the left but find some of the prescriptive conclusions from the right just as puzzling.  that's all i got for right now.

also just to add, i noticed the johnny cash avatar, and i find this puzzling as well.  certainly johnny cash was a leftist politically, with his labor ballads and hobo songs.  i understand why conservatives relate to johnny, as he was very individualist and religious, but nonetheless had a strong affinity with criminals, the counter-cultural left, and the poorest in the world.  i dunno what to think i guess.

I'm thinking that the purpose of the Johnny Cash avatar is to puzzle the narrow minded among us who insist on putting everything into it's own little compartment and therefore cannot appreciate the ironic juxtaposition.

In other words, maybe you shouldn't assume that just because someone stands for something or ascribes to a particular political philosophy, that they are narrow or less evolved than someone like you who, by your own admission, stands for nothing.

Damndamndamndamndamndamn  

Whoever it was that called BC's show and got us all here, I wish you'd have done it sooner so I could have seen this!!!!

I would sooooooooooooooo love to go to one of these. Please let us know if another one is planned!!

AdamSmith, great pictures and commentary! LOL I love it! Spreading peace and democracy .... lol  :lol:

Bitemyheadoff, I don't think that anti-war means anti-violence. In this specific war, it's usually anti-war = anti-Bush. I've debated this war hundreds of times, and every time I beat a liberal on logic, they go back to the GWB-hater lines. That's all. Smiley

I suppose you are referring to the "peace" marcher who threatened to violently assault a bystander at a rally for "peace". I guess it depends on what your definition of the word "peace" is.

If "peace" is the abscence of violence, then, Yes, I suppose it would be hypocritical for a supporter of "non-violence" to go around trying to beat the crap out of people for suggesting that their peace march is a sham.

But maybe you have a point. Maybe they aren't actually "peace" marchers as they so falsely advertise. Maybe they are marching for something else entirely.

This is what we have been telling America since the "Peace" Movement began.

It is a sham, that's all. So sue us for pointing it out.
