Reply #54: Nothing about your negativism... [View All]

[seventhson]

can tke away the fact that MILLIONS of Americans agree in principle with the position that the troops should be brought home immediately.

No one who really cares about the failed Bush policies will be put off by these speeches.

The reality is that mainstream america and even the pentagon and cia is sick of Bush and his egocentric failures.

But the fact is also that it takes those with both courage and conviction to stand up to Bush and to speak out fearlessly.

These folks have their organizational agendas and an agenda that billions globally will agree on. They also have some many of us may disagree on.

But your negativity is so unproductive.

At LEAST there are poeople willing to stand up and be counted to exercise democracy and the right to assemble to protest.

The fact that most americans are NOT activists and rather have their mtv, dvd and suv than cspan is LOST on you.

You see the glass as not even half full.

It looks FULL to me.

My wife and daughter are in that crowd. They travelled all night to get there. THEY are the backbone of America.

Where are the Unions. Where are the democratic candidates? Where are the organized democrats???

No -- it takes those who are PASSIONATE to lead this march.

They are courageous and your comments are simply bourgeois grumbling, it seems to me.
