Take A Stand.»

signAmericans Against Escalation in Iraq is wrapping up its Iraq summer campaign today with Take A Stand Day. From coast to coast, thousands of concerned citizens will turn out to attend “Take a Stand” events and vigils organized by MoveOn.org, including one in Connecticut that will send a message to Sen. Joe Lieberman and Rep. Chris Shays. Iraq war vet John Bruhns writes, “Since the kick-off, ‘Iraq Summer’ organizers have held 362 press events, planted 30,452 lawn signs (often in the member’s immediate neighborhood), created 265 YouTube videos, and directly confronted members of Congress on their war votes 125 times.” Join tens of thousands of your fellow Americans who are taking part in over 680 events nationwide to Take A Stand against Bush’s disastrous course in Iraq.

  1. Bob Says:

    thanks President Bush for not listening to the Defeatocrats


  2. Menehune Says:

    Congress has proven that they WON’T listen. Hate to say it, but why bother–30,452 lawn signs is just more trash in the landfill with this group.


  3. Bruno Hauptmann Says:

    Yes, thanks Dimwit and Chief for single handedly destroying the wingnut party.


  4. Bob Says:

    Come on Demcratic Congress stop funding the war.

    Maybe Dems are profitting from the war too?


  5. Bruno Hauptmann Says:

    Thanks Bushco for destroying the criminal wingnut element as an organized political party. Now that is something to be thankful for.


  6. Bob Says:

    5 years without an attack on domestic US soil.
    Thanks President Bush for protecting the US.


  7. Bob Says:

    Defeatocrats have run the nation into the ground.

    A mere 4000 deaths of American Soldiers later.


  9. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    Bob sez:

    5 years without an attack on domestic US soil.
    Thanks President Bush for protecting the US.

    Three questions, Bob:

    1) On whose watch did 9/11 happen?

    2) Prior to 9/11, how many years had elapsed without an attack on domestic U.S. soil?

    3) When did the Anthrax Attacks happen?

    …and for extra credit:

    a) On whose watch did the Anthrax Attacks happen?

    and

    b) What sort of anthrax was used in these attacks?

    I look forward to your response.

    Don’t hold your breath. Trolls don’t answer questions. They ask questions that have no answers (like when did you stop beating your wife) and they make unsubstantiated statements that we are supposed to believe just because they said it. They are incapable of the independent thought it would take to really answer questions addressed to them.

    I know it’s been 5 years - but I’m still digging a bunker. My landlord seems suspicious, but I’ve been scattering the dirt from the digging around the yard.

    Exactly. Into the ground - it’s a bunker, for god’s sake! Whoever heard of an above-ground bunker?


  23. shane Says:

    What happened to Bob? He’s probably still putting up duct tape and plastic sheeting, how many years later.


  24. ronjazz Says:

    Why do you say that?

    Comment by shane — August 28, 2007 @ 6:55 pm

    Because in michael’s twisted little world, getting out of a country you invaded to “help” that doesn’t want you there any more is the same as “surrendering”. michael is enrolling in English as a Second Language courses at the local jr. high next month.


  25. shane Says:

    Comment by WaltTheMan — August 28, 2007 @ 6:58 pm

    We’d have to look at the manual they prepared for keeping desenters out of W’s range.

    Did I say that? We have the strongest most sophisticated military the planet has ever known and you spineless wimpy kneed liberals cry foul if we use that force! And we aren’t using it because we don’t want to hurt the poor muslim’s feelings even when they are trying to kill you and your families!

    Genuflex when you say that.


  32. Liberalismisdead Says:

    George Soros is trying to organize his lackies. TP is funded by Soros (how else could this lame website survive otherwise?) What a total sham. Americans hate liberals so they try double-speak by the euphemism of “progressive”….as if anyone who doesn’t believe in their ideology is regressive.

    Yah which gives no advantage to them when your enemy isn’t driving tanks, flying jets, and so on. The enemy doesn’t wear uniforms. The enemy was your friend until last month when you blew up his house with one of your tanks. Wake up to the reality that this war has increased the rate of terrorism recruitment, because the US has killed, and ruined the lives for millions. All in the name of WMD, or Hang Saddam, or Iraqi Freedom.. when it’s really all about the worlds 2nd largest oil reserves. Which the Iraqi’s will fight anyone for a 100 years to keep.

    Bush kills terrorists and alkaida!


  49. BARTLEBEE Says:

    At least the neocons trolls are finally admitting their true “final solution’.

    Kill the muslims.

    I see your logic. Following that logic, who else has he killed?


  57. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    Mr. Pee sez:

    President George W. Bush killed Saddam Hussein!!!

    First of all, no, he didn’t.

    Second, none of my questions referenced Saddam Hussein.

    Take a deep breath, reread the questions, and try again. At least try to answer one question…that would be a start.

    michael? swifty? Did you two just flee, or are you too afaraid to answer me?


  58. BARTLEBEE Says:


    Yup.

    Comment by Mr. President — August 28, 2007 @ 8:15 pm

    See. They admit it. Killing the muslims, just like their predecessor, Adolf Hitler, killed the Jews.

    Thank you for admitting that you’re nazi scum.


  59. BARTLEBEE Says:

    As a 100? disabled vietnam vet, I don’t believe the present commander in chief and his “dead eye companion” have ever killed anyone.
    They have killed more civilians and our troops by their patriotic boosterism. I wish Cheney would have taken his own advice that he gave Pres. Bush 1 while sec dev, that “a war in Iraq was not winnable”
    Instead of concentrating on Afghanistan. we have wasted more American and innocent Iraqi Lives in a pursuit of macho self interest.
    How quickly we forget why we don’t have nore foreign support.
    Do you remember bush’s “Either your with us or aginst us. If youu’re not with us you can’t help in rebuilding Iraq. Well now we have Haliburton and the gang.

    Besides. How does the President getting a BJ impact you? What part of your life, or anyones for that matter, was diminished because Bill got a bj?

    If Bush would stop creating 10,000 new terrorists a day, while blowing up half the world and pissing the other half off, then I would’nt care if he got blowjobs from Barney while swinging from the green room chandeler.

    Just put him somewhere where he can’t do any more harm for the next year or so and we don’t give a crap what he does with his time.

    What does “losers on the left” refer to? Or “idiots”?


  89. BARTLEBEE Says:

    Michelle is reduced to misquoting people because his tiny neocon brain can’t generate an original thought.

    I never suggested killing the muslims. I said that was the new neocon “Final Solution”.

    Thats why he left out the timestamp of my post.

    Because he didn’t want you to read what I actually said.

    Because he, like the devil he serves, has nothing left but lies.

    Actually, there are also quite a few “internationally travelled” 6th graders near here. A lot from Mexico, a fair number from South America, several from India, some Kurds. So, yeah, bartie, I do know several. ;)

    Sure! I’d love to! You are the dopes who can’t understand that we in this country have become so politically correct that we won’t stand up to a publicly funded public school in New York who caters to muslims only, and won’t reveal their curriculum!

    It is you politically correct dopes who refuse to print cartoons critical of muslims in a major newspaper (Wash Post) but the same paper has no problem ridiculing Jerry Farwell a week earlier!

    It is you liberals who put the koran on the top shelf in bookstores to not offend your muslim darlings!

    I said in an earlier post, Mona Charen wrote a book about you blind liberals. She called it “Useful Idiots”! And that’s exactly what you liberals are. The muslim extremists use you to spread their propaganda just as the North Vietnam Communists used the liberals in the 60’s and 70’s!

    What else do you want me to be specific about?

    Just broad generalizations about events that have no correlation to each other, except for someone like you. This somehow entitles you to capriciously label someone like me as one of the ‘useful idiots” you hate, and then dump your hostility on me.

    Vague, sweeping generalizations don’t mean anything.

    Not in the least. It has nothing to do w/ me. Which Borders? All of them nationally? Why? Why do you care?

    Yes Nationally! They are afraid of someone from the religion of peace exploding a bomb in one of their stores, so they are placing the koran above all other religious books and liberal idiots like you walk around saying things like “Oh we can negotiate with them”! Duh! It is your ignorance that will destroy us!

    Actually, I do find that “not right”. I would say the same about a private “Christian” school too. I believe in separation of church and state. I find the extreme degree of hardcore Chrisitan prostelization that has been happening at the Air Force Academy in Colorado to be unaccepable too, and just as scary.

    You are not concerned that a major newspaper (Wash Post) refuses to print a cartoon critical of muslims but has no problem ridiculing Farwell?

    I actually think the media should have refused to cave on that one. It’s a free speech thing. Didn’t a Moslem kill a Dutch film director (Van Gogh’s relative) simply because he was gay and made comments about Islam? I do believe radical Moslems are a danger. I find it hard to fathom the mind set that wants to kill so many people indiscrimintally, just like the Oklahoma Bombers did.

    Why? I went to a private Christian school through college. That’s a choice my family and I made and paid dearly for. We wanted religion in my life and I got it! Along with a lot of discipline and lessons in respect which is non existent in todays public schools. I was raised with respect for others and a disdain for government handouts. This is sadly lacking in our government schools!

    I didn’t mean to be rude. It’s hard sometimes talking to liberals because in general, you are naive. You live in a textbook world. It’s never the real world. It’s, if we can raise 100 million dollars from a Maddona world concert we can eliminate hunger. It makes you feel good, even though it will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER work!

    Comment by michael — August 29, 2007 @ 1:06 am

    You might be right about that. I’ve been out of school since the early 70’s. I went thru public school in upstate NY, and was 2nd in my class. I took 4 yrs of Latin and once got a 98 on a state-wide final (in Latin). Translated the Monroe Doctrine INTO Latin for a term paper once. Got a 95 on that.

    I’ve seen the standards in education slip year after year for decades. If it weren’t for public schools, I might not have gotten an education. My father tried putting me to work when I was 5. (Child labor laws?) He whipped me w/ his belt when I couldn’t work 12 hrs a day in the summer sun, and screamed at the top of his lungs. He was a registered Republican his own life.

    Some Christian schools are probably very good. Some want to teach that the Earth is only 6,000 yrs old. Wouldn’t that pretty much toss the entire body of scientific knowledge in the trash can?

    Astrology, geology, biology, chemistry… do you think that makes sense?

    There are pluses and minuses to everything. I think standards of all kinds have collapsed in this country over the last 30 to 40 years, and I don’t like it. The grades I got were real. I worked my ass off for them.
    I’m not even sure what a “liberal” is anymore. That’s why I keep pressing posters for articulation and specificity! :-D!!!

    What’s a”moonbat”?

    Do I sound naive to you? My mother used to slap me for saying hello to her some days. I left home for good when I was 22. Drove to the West Coast and just took it from the streets. I didn’t have any place to stay when I got here, and was totally on my own.

    I’d like to think I’ve been living in the real world a long time. I may have been naive when I was 22 but that was several decades and many, many bad expereinces ago, at the hands of both “liberals” and “conservatives”.

    Calm down. I didn’t say YOU were. You said you had a Christian education above. I did not, nor do I belong to a church, yet I can come to Christian values and believe in them, no? Others do take advantage, all the time, both libs and cons, Dems and repubs. I refuse to belong to a political party anymore, but I never miss an election. You personally don’t pay for my education.

    I wish people did take their educations and their children’s educations more seriously. The opportunities routinely offered in the this country are so devalued these days. I guess when you get something for nothing, it has no value, huh?

    In the last 10 years, less than 4000 Americans have been killed by terrorists in the United States.

    In contrast, almost half a MILLION Americans have lost their lives to alcohol related traffic accidents, and the same number, another close to half a million Americans have died from handgun deaths.

    Thats approximately 1 MILLION deaths in 10 years with the two combined, compared to less than 4000 deaths in 10 years from terrorists.

    Yet no ones taking the booze or the guns.

    Get a clue pal. It takes courage to live in a free society. Wimps like you we’ren’t cut out for America. You’d do better in the former Soviet Union or maybe China, where what the government deems public safety always trumps civil liberty.
