It’s Obama’s fault

As I’ve said a few times, this year just isn’t a good year for protests. It’s difficult for me get decent pictures anymore of Code Pink trolls on rolling beds or flocks of SEIU purple-clad socialists being herded by their handlers on the subway. All this time I thought the anti-war peace movement was petering […]

MoveOn Won’t Part II

As I wrote earlier, MoveOn dot Org is upset that the Republicans are staging a revolt on the floor of the House this week demanding that Speaker Pelosi recognize that this is a crisis and that Congress do something about it instead of taking an well-deserved vacation after accomplishing absolutely nothing in the last two […]

How’d I miss this?

It seems Code Pink sponsored a Karaoke fundraiser for their heartthrobs at Iraq Veterans Against the War this weekend and I guess I missed it. Where’s my social secretary? But, I’ve got the next best thing; a video tour of the IVAW clubhouse conducted by head sociopath and self-promoter Adam Kokesh, who seems to have […]

IVAW’s Adam “Fallujah” Kokesh confronts Conyers

Former lance corporal Adam Kokesh (who’s been to Falluja) and his merry band of geriatrics from the Veterans for Peace pressed John Conyers on the impeachment of the President and Vice President on Capitol Hill last week. Conyers tells the gang of imbeciles that he hasn’t made up his mind yet what he’s going to […]

Navel gazing in the anti-war movement

The antiwar movement has hit a brick wall and they don’t understand why. The War Resisters League has published a report they call a “Listening Process Report” assessing the movement. Mostly, it reads like a Junior High student council meeting. Lots of lofty ideas not at all with a even a little thought to process. […]

Vietnam vets at war again

Those filthy hippie freaks of the 60s are so steeped in their self-importance, so self-assured they somehow made a difference in this country’s history, they’re back to attacking the veterans of the same era. Dodging their spittle the first time wasn’t enough, I suppose. It was honest-to-goodness Vietnam veterans who dealt the death blow to […]
