Adlai Stevenson once said, "Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime." As a nation, we have become lost because the frenzied outburst of emotion which arose from the dust and death of September 11 was transformed, with deliberation and intent, into a shield which protects Bush and his people from any consequences arising from their actions. www.2020visions.org http://www.orwelltoday.com/

1. Here are some ideas from the recently-Bushed Lancaster PA

There were some creative protesters in Lancaster, PA, when Bush rolled through last Friday.

Here's a story from the Lancaster, PA, New Era newspaper, regarding the protesters (including thong-wearing Abu Ghraib re-enactors!!!) If you knew how conservative Lancaster is, you'd know how brave these people are.

" ... The president had to see the thumbs-down gestures and John Kerry banners, perhaps even the occasional obscene fingers thrust skyward as his bus passed by them.

... Six young men from Lancaster City wearing only thong underwear were arrested along Old Philadelphia Pike when they attempted to recreate the infamous picture of Iraqi prisoners forced into a human pyramid at Abu Ghraib prison.

... The protesters stripped down to their underwear and formed their improv in front of a greenhouse, near where the president was to speak ... police said.

... Later, as the motorcade passed through Lancaster, Martin Andrews, 42, of 228 N. Reservoir St., made an obscene gesture and dropped his pants at the president’s convoy, Lancaster police said.
Police who had to leave their positions to deal with Andrews, arrested him for disorderly conduct. Police said Andrews ignored police commands while he was being arrested and officers had to spray him with a chemical agent. He was then additionally charged with resisting arrest.

... Protesters and supporters were intermingled and each displayed bold signs and loud statements. The anti-Bush crowd was outnumbered about nine to one, but they were vocal.

... Mary Schroeder, 31, held a sign that read “Shame on you” in one hand and her 1-year-old son, Ezra, in the other.

... Anti-Bush signs seen along the parade route: “Liar,” “Thief + Liar + Murder = Bush,” “Words of mass deception,” “More trees, less Bush,” “Impeach Bush,” “Outsource Bush,” “Words of Mass Deception,” “Stop Killing Children” and “Like father, like son — 1 term only.”

... Some of the signs on the route, as well as one seen in Penn Square Friday afternoon, contained vulgarities
