Anzeige Peace symbol - 50 years on clipped by: hayesstw clippers remarks: Jerry Hortons now-famous peace symbol is 50 years old. Its first public appearance was at the Aldermaston March in 1958, organised by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament to protest against nuclear weapons. Later it was widened to a general peace symbol, and not simply against nuclear weapons, and has been used by people protesting against wars in general, such as the Vietnam War and the current Iraqi-American War. Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk In 1958, on the coldest Easter weekend anyone could remember for years and just weeks after the birth of CND, 4,000 people gathered in the centre of London for a rally addressed by Michael Foot and Canon John Collins. Yesterday, according to the groups estimate, up to 5,000 supporters turned up to celebrate the anniversary and protest at the governments plans to renew the Trident nuclear weapons system, in the largest demonstration at the site for two decades. Clutching replicas of the "lollipop" placards featuring artist Gerald Holtoms now-famous CND symbol, young and old clambered from coaches to turn the perimeter fence into a sea of rainbow banners and multicoloured knitwear. zum Artikel... So....why didnt he friggin volunteer???? clipped by: mooner-one clippers remarks: One word...., coward. Clip Source: www.nytimes.com Cheneys Five Draft Deferments During the Vietnam Era Emerge as a Campaign Issue He said he "never served" because of deferments to finish a college career that lasted six years rather than four, which he attributed to subpar academic performance and the fact that he had to work to pay for his education. He added that he "would have obviously been happy to serve had I been called." Away from the hearing room, he told the Washington Post that he had sought his deferments because "I had other priorities in the 60s than military service." "I dont regret the decisions I made," he added. "I complied fully with all the requirements of the statutes, registered with the draft when I turned 18. Had I been drafted, I would have been happy to serve." "Five deferments seems incredible to me," said David Curry, a professor at the University of Missouri in St. Louis who has written extensively about the draft, including a 1985 book, "Sunshine Patriots: Punishment and the Vietnam Offender." zum Artikel... Good advice..... clipped by: mooner-one clippers remarks: ....I really liked the "There are two kinds of Repugs; millionaires and suckers". I liked it so much I Word documented it all fancy and such then taped it inside my cars back window. Clip Source: www.alternet.org Fighting Words: How to Humiliate -- and Convert -- a Right-Winger Drop the condescending "populist" talk and get mean. Id like to suggest a very simple strategy for American liberals: Get mean. Stop policing the language and start using it to hurt our enemies. American liberals are so busy purging their speech of any words that might offend anyone that they have no notion of using language to cause some salutary pain. popularize slogans that mock the Bush loyalists as "suckers"? "There are two kinds of Republicans: millionaires and suckers." the question wasnt how well Kerry fought in Vietnam but whether he would fight in 2004. Would he defend himself when called out by the gang of disgusting bullies Bush had gathered around himself? It would have been so simple, so glorious, if hed just turned on his accusers and reacted like a human being: "Youre questioning my record on behalf of a skunk like Bush who spent the war with the Alabama National Guard, and then went AWOL from the Guard?" zum Artikel... Cheney interview - someone needs to slap this guy clipped by: kkcapricorn clippers remarks: I doubt that the video will play, you will probably have to go to the site.. This creature slithered out of disgusting slime and is a threat to everyone. He says Bushie has it worst because he is the one who decided to send in the troops. Then he emphasizes that its an All Volunteer force. If you ever need to throw up, save this clip and watch it. Clip Source: www.alternet.org Somebody needs to slap this guy Noting the burden placed on military families, the vice president said the biggest burden is carried by President George W. Bush, who made the decision to commit US troops to war, and reminded the public that U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan volunteered for duty. ?It obviously brings home I think for a lot of people the cost that?s involved in the global war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan,? Cheney said in the interview, conducted in Turkey? Well isn?t that a convenient way to get out of taking responsibility. No doubt Cheney is still patting himself on the back all these years later for his cleverness in requesting and receiving five deferments from duty in Vietnam. One problem with his logic ?When you talk about an all-volunteer force, some of these soldiers, airmen, Marines have been on two, three, four, some of them more than that, deployments The Army alone says 58,000 US soldiers have been redeployed to war because of the stop-loss policy Tags: cheney, interview zum Artikel...
