[hiley]

1. thank you

recommend..

[Stephanie]

2. Look at picture number six.

That is a professionally made sign.

[hiley]

8. These people remind of why I never go to Texas anymore.

My oldest brother lives in Burleson and I am surprized not to see him out there with his wife and step son making fools of themselves, supporting the dictator..

WE fought so bad about this war that I won't speak to them.

[RickWn]

12. Missed your "snark" inclusion, but I agree

That's a poorly doctored puplicity picture. I downloaded it and ran a couple of my clean-up programs over the sign.

What it really reads is:

Goose-stepping cloggers for Bush

//snark//

[unrepuke]

20. Please! I'm a professional Sign Painter. trust me...

NO WAY IN HELL! :puke:


...On second thought ... in Crawford, Texas...maybe so...:shrug: Their standards are obviously lower


Besides, it's missing a word.

"Morans"

right after "We"

[Oilwellian]

28. You may be on to something

Only Laura would choose hot pink and black to blend in with Old Glory.

[Stephanie]

29. I'm thinking Karen chose it

Seriously, who has stencils at home and paints them in two colors? They didn't make that.

[Nictuku]

6. Great Song!

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

(Buffalo Springfield)

[indie_voter]

16. sadly, this song resonates even stronger today n/t

[WCGreen]

22. Except back then....

More than 60% of the people supported the war...

Now, well we all know the numbers....

Big difference.....

[texanwitch]

23. I was a little to young for the Vietnam protest but this song is so

current.

[Vox_Reason]

30. Check out Robert Plant's takes on this song in '75

Seattle 3/21/75 is a prominent example. What a great song that is.

WHERE are the modern-day heirs to this great tradition?

The new Green Day video is a step in the right direction--but nowhere near partisan enough or harsh enough.

We need to saturate the media with no-holds-barred, put your stomach in your throat, see it once and you'll get off the fence messages.

People are dying. Do we have to wait 3 or 4 more years until the body count is as high as it was in Vietnam? How many more have to die? For WHAT?!?!?!

"Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away"

WAKE UP. Don't let these fascists ruin our country! DO YOUR PART!

[Vickers]

3. Garsh, they even have a real cowboy there in the last picture!

I can tell by the belt buckle!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Awesome pictures!

[rateyes]

24. on another thread, i was told a big belt buckle..

is a tombstone for a dead dick!

[Clintmax]

4. Yeah, what the hells IS going on?

Thanks for the pics and keep us updated!

[GetTheRightVote]

5. it is a mother's cry for justice in a wilderness of lies

:kick:

[tsuki]

7. "We support the president. (He gave us a tax cut, and we

don't have to worry about Iraq. It's not for people like us.)

[Miss Chybil]

11. And he's a man of faith. He's going to keep us all safe from terrorists.

We won't be able to keep our homes from having to spend all our money on gas to get to work, but he is against abortion and well, I just like that he's a "real" American and when somebody needs blowin' up he ain't afraid to do it.

[tsuki]

31. Yea, let's go have a beer with him. eom

[Clark2008]

9. "It starts when you're always afraid,

Step out of line, the man come and take you away..."

:hi:

[helderheid]

10. helluvalotta freepers. We must outnumber them big time - MORE TO CRAWFORD!

[cbear70]

13. I wonder about the numbers

That picture did look like many freepers...to the picture taker.. can we get numbers from the people actually there. I find it varying from the Iconoclast newspaper, to the guy james show to the pictures..

I am just curious..

[LSK]

26. i dont believe they are freepers

Theres no way to tell based on that pic. And all accounts say that there were few freepers there.

[Stephanie]

27. They were bused in, is that right?

Or was that just yesterday?

[walldude]

14. I love the "God Bless Our Troops" sign..

Shouldn't it say "God bless our republican troops"? They certainly "don't care" about all those white crosses..

[gizmo1979]

19. That one really pisses me off

that's what this woman stands for you dopes!Don't they get it?She cares a hell of alot more than these idiots holding up a sign while our troops are nothing more than targets in Iraq.OOOHHHthat makes me sooo angry.

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

15. thanks - recommended

17. "Something IS happening here, but you don't know what it is...

Do you, Mr. Jones?" Bush-boy personifies Mr. Jones, the thin and ignorant man.

Ballad Of A Thin Man
(Zimmerman)

You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man ?"
You try so hard
But you don't understand
Just what you'll say
When you get home.

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

You raise up your head
And you ask, "Is this where it is ?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you says, "What's mine ?"
And somebody else says, "Where what is ?"
And you say, "Oh my God
Am I here all alone ?"

But something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak ?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a bone.

And something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To all give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations.
You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known. <--- My Pet Goat!

But something is happening here
And you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan".

And you know something is happening
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason ?"
And he says, "How ?"
And you say, "What does this mean ?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home".

Because something is happening
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made
To wear earphones.

Does something is happening
And you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. What is happening is hope

that is what is happening and damn it I want to be there, but CAN'T

[nashville_brook]

21. yeah, i don't like the numbers -- if i were there i'd be getting sketchy

we need more people down there.

[latebloomer]

25. Great pics!

It's happening, alright!
