AP unintentionally captures the essence of Bush's upcoming "coronation"
This is a screen capture from AP...notice the eerie juxtaposition of the smiling, waving, totally oblivious Bushes from 2001...the "Terminator-style," automatic weapon-toting "peace keeper" in the photo above the "Bush Inauguration Preparations" link, and above that, another URL for "Protesters May Not Have Swearing-In Spot."

Click on each of the URLS if you REALLY want to get pissed off...the "Presidential Inaugural Committee" will be constructing bleachers for the "Loyalty Oath" crowd in the EXACT SPOT on which anti-war group The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition had applied for permits to assemble.

Coincidence?

BULLSHIT. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.

:grr:

The Emperor walks the land, drinking in the rich, sweet nectar that is the adoration of his loyal serfs...and the rest are dealt with "Scarface-style."

:grr:

1. If they have the richest fucking
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 03:15 PM by zidzi
inaugeration in History ..I say we have the biggest protest in History! If they won't let us in on the inaugeration route then we should figure out another way to do it...all across the nation at that time.

I am so frustrated here.

2. Wear black
on January 20, in mourning for our democracy, for our country, for our wasted military, for the world.

4. I'm planning to wear black
and I already have the little American flag at work displayed upside down (no one has noticed yet, believe it or not). I was thinking of taking "Eve of Destruction" with me, going to the courthouse and playing it when Shrub takes the mantle of dictatorship-er, the oath of office.

3. It should be a nation wide protest
everyone should agree to go to a specific place, such as the county courthouse, raise signs or sing songs, all wear black, etc. etc. What do you think?

5. How do we go about getting the message out?


I'm sure the anti war movement has something up!


What are they planning now?

6. Haven't heard a thing
but there are two politically active groups in my county who would be willing to take action if they thought it would be part of a larger, nation wide movement.

8. I think that's great! The county courthouse..
Something they can't help but notice..even if they won't report on it as it really happens. We can have signs there and wear Black! If we could get the numbers!

7. "Loyalty Oath"??
Last time I read Loyalty Oath it was followed by something like: "I swear to you Adolf Hitler, Leader and Chancellor of the Reich, loyalty and bravery, to you and the people you appoint to lead me. obiedence until death! So help me God!"

Or something to that affect.
