What should my sign for the anti-war rally say?

[proud2BlibKansan]

I need to make a sign to take to our wekly anti-war protests. Here is my competition:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=527406

As you can see, these folks are clever. So I need to have just the right saying on my sign.

I have already decided to make it two sided. On one side I think I will put

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE STILL PROTESTING THIS CRAP

I saw that on a sign in DC in September and I love it.

But what should I put on the other side? Here are some possibilities I have considered:

[Droopy]

1. I like the "support the troops" one

Good message for all those folks out there who think that having the troops over there trying to dodge car bombs is a good idea.

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. I am leaning towards that one as well

[Katherine Brengle]

2. The best one I ever made said...

"YOU CAN'T SPREAD DEMOCRACY ABROAD AND DENY IT AT HOME."

It was for a very specific rally tho.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Oh I like that

It is very appropriate.

[Katherine Brengle]

18. thanks -- it came out really well -- i spent a lot of time working on it -

i have a pic somewhere on my old comp i think, but too lazy to retrieve it, lol.

5. I picked the scorecard.

7. Is that like cheating?

[evlbstrd]

10. Huh?

Forgive me if I'm slow. I'm on my first cup of coffee and starting my taxes.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. Picking a scorecard

Sounds like cheating.

[evlbstrd]

13. Duh.

Sorry.

6. The two favorites I made:

Sow more war, reap more terrorism.

Iraq: the 51st state?

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Oh yeah

Those are great.

[Radical Activist]

9. Thanks!

I made those before the war began. I'm proud of them. :)

12. I love this sign:

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Oh that is awesome!!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

14. Third option BY FAR.

:rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. I am leaning in that direction

Looks like it is getting the most votes.

25. Yeah

I didn't go to the protest due to familial commitments and it's simply generally not my way. Writing is my way as well. I pulled those from three different postings and watching obsessively on CSPAN.

Was the first thing that made me feel inspired about american ingenuity in ages.

Glad I saved it. I especially like the Orwellian reference.

26. Orwell....Spirit love him....

He's rolling in his grave right now....

16. Since you are a teacher, how about

"War is not healthy for children and other living things."

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Wow why didn't I think of that?

It would be perfect with my "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE STILL HAVE TO PROTEST THIS CRAP!"

[TallahasseeGrannie]

23. Here's a link

[WolverineDG]

28. How about my fave from DC?

"I never thought I'd miss Nixon." :rofl:

24. The last rally I went to, I used the "fighting for peace is like screwing

for virginity" one. I love that one. I put something more tame on the other side, for when my son wanted to hold the sign.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

27. LOL---Probably a good idea.

:D
