I can't stand anti-war activists, they are possible the most annoying creatures to have ever roamed the planet. They think just because they are against war that it some how makes them superior to every one else. If you agree with them then you are enlightened, if you disagree with them, then you are a closed minded racist fascist that steals candy from babies, while cackling over a pile of gold. "War is not my voice." Yeah, well you're incessant self-righteous spiel is not my voice, but you seem to have no problem rubbing your view points in my face. Yesterday on the news they were showing activists protesting in the streets of New York, shutting down traffic, just so they could shout their tired anti-war slogans like, "Bush is a Nazi" and "No Blood For Oil." These are the same people who get upset when Christian groups impose their view points on the world by protesting films like The DaVinci Code, yet some how see no problem in shutting down traffic so they can impose their view points.
Even more troubling are the extreme activists, the ones who dress up in bloody soldier uniforms and stage fake tortures for the public. What's even more troubling is that they do this all with smiles on their faces, cause as we all know nothing is more comical than seeing a person get tortured. No wonder the Saw films are big hits! They're comedies! Then you get the activists who bring themselves to near orgasmic states by spouting out the number of fatalities the war has brought upon Americans and Iraqis. I personally think anti-war activists secretly love the war, because it brings meaning to their otherwise meaningless lives. It gives them something to bitch and feel good about, otherwise they would probably fritter their day away at Starbucks, drinking over priced coffee, while writing crappy poems about how no one understands them.
OK, I'm generalizing here, but anti-war activists to the exact same thing, so let's call it even.
The worst protest I ever saw involved three college students putting on a skit in which a guy wearing a "United States" shirt was hitting a guy wearing an "Iraq" shirt with smelly fish, then a girl wearing a "United Nations" shirt came in with a blow horn and shouted, "Screw you Uncle Sam, you're over stepping your bounds." This might have been effective had it not been for the fact that they were all laughing during the skit, instead they just looked like a trio of pompous idiots.
There was an interview with the jackass behind the skit and with a smug look of triumph on his face he said, "We came up with the skit while drinking coffee." Would that be Starbucks coffee? Nothing like a heartless corporation to help get your creative juices flowing! Right comrade!
I'm sure most people reading this rant will probably think I'm pro-Bush stooge who supports the Iraq War, well sorry to disappoint, but I'm not. I just think that these activists are doing more to hurt the anti-war cause than to help it. They kind of reminiscent of extreme Packers fans, they ones who will shout idiotic slogans, dress up in full Packers regalia and beat their children when the Packers lose. They may support the same team I do, but I find them utterly embarrassing regardless.
