George Tells Children to Stop Flashing the Peace Sign in Front of Him ---pix--->>>

You know how irritating little peace children can be. Now knock that off!








President Bush asks children to put their hands down as they ham for the cameras while he tours the YMCA Anthony Bowen in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2007. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)

26. Poignant is one word to describe it.
I feel sadness that such an unqualified person became President of a country of 300 million people. What is wrong with us that we allowed a person with no leadership ability or other significant redeeming qualities to represent us as President. An utter disgrace. It is little consolation that history will judge Bush every bit as harshly as we.

I'm not even sure they are purposely making peace signs. Kids that young usually make that sign to add ears behind someone or to be silly (ask me how I know). Regardless, they are kids and should be allowed to act as such. Bush is an idiot.

25. i think you're wrong
they knew what they were doing - the "V" signs and the tongue out were explicit and intentional. So was the black power sign response. Hooray for these kids. Maybe there's hope.

23. "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and DO NOT STOP THEM...."
...said the PRINCE of PEACE-

guess * skipped this chapter-

Along with all the others that ask us to flex our heart muscles and not our hate ones.

How sad- the kids are all right. They have real wisdom.

If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.


Peace-

blu

32. Not when I saw it on television

They would not even listen to him.

The boy that did look like he was throwing the gang sign was not afraid of GW.

Wish the adults would start throwing a few signs when in the presence of the biggest gang banger of the 21st Century.

The young man knows a gang member when he sees one. :bounce:

he's "winning their hearts and minds" just like he won over those of the Iraqis.

Behind my monitor, again as I often do, I'm flashing * a sign of my own. It uses one less finger than the peace sign.

48. Obviously...
...the parents knew that their kids would be in the presence
of the great dEcider.

If I knew that my children would be in the same room with that
man, I would instruct them to do something similar.

I bet their parents helped them out with this one.

These kids just make me smile. They look as if they
have no respect for the weasel. They certainly don't
look as if they feel that they are meeting someone
important--the leader of the free world, and all.

It's like Chuckles the Clown just walked into the room.

75. I don't think that's what it meant... That movement is from way before his time
Most young kids no nothing about it. If anything its a gester that has over time morphed into a different meaning... :shrug:

Of course I could be wrong. If these kids are shrewd enough to hold up peace symbols in front of a war president then its possible they are far more aware than most of their peers.

71. Let The Children Come To Me
This song came to mind when I saw these pics. Now I have some great pics to do my comic on today. Didn't want to waste it on something negative.:rofl:

Snow Borne Sorrow Lyrics: David Sylvian

Strip the branches
Unsheathe the hatchets
The threads of friendship
Are coming off

The teeth of lawyers
Man the trenches
Bands of betrothal
Are coming off

But if we’re good
If we’re kind
But if we’re good
Generous and kind
We’ll inhabit their sunsets
Their goddesses and queens
We’ll try to do the right thing

(Oh save them)
Oh save them
(Oh save them)
(Oh save them)
Oh save them
(Oh save them)

Let the children come to me

It’s a harrowing world
Of adults and girls
Lashing out at the hurt
That surrounds them

With the knives drawn apart
They shatter the heart
Of anyone that dares come between them

Let the children come to me

Once a playground of swings
Then the malice set in
And reduced all the colours to winter

So we made it our own
This snow borne sorrow
And this love that stutters and splinters

Let the children come to me

Her apostles have gone
They left one by one
With no forwarding address to trace them

It’s a secular world
Of adults and girls
And we ask because nothing is certain

Let the children come to me

When their feet touch the ground
Naked unbound
I want them to know they can trust me

There’s so much to be ungrateful for

Let the children come to me

73. Pic #3-He reminds of that one child in every group that's a kill joy.
The one who is so unpopular that they don't want any of the other kids to have fun. "Don't do that. Teacher won't like it."

78. I'd have had another finger to show him personally
Especially after he told me to stop those "horrible" peace signs.

88. If I were the parent of one of those kids who got physically touched
and restrained by Bush, I'D BE CALLING THE COPS AND A GOOD ATTORNEY TO GO AFTER HIM FOR ASSAULT.

Have I mentioned yet today how much I HATE that man?

In the first picture she has a forced smile.
By the last shot she has a genuine smile!

99. He doesn't want everyone to know that that's his family crest....
....the peace symbol is a direct symbolic descendent from the time when Nero persecuted early Christians. It was later adopted by Satanic cults and one could easily play a game of "Kevin Bacon" to connect the dots to Yale's Skull and Bones.

Oh, well, back to the conspiracy theories.
