people protested today because of their beliefs, but that is not what I was refferring to. And they didn't protest just so they could run home to see themselves on teevee.

It's about a message. A message that others need to see, and because the MSM chooses not to cover, then it doesn't get seen. We have every right to be critical about the lack of coverage, as it is a sly form of censorship disguised as 'opinion;' it's lying by ommission.

If this were the summer after the invasion of Iraq, I'd say I'd have no problem with your comments here. But it's not, and a lot of dangerous changes have occurred that threaten our Democratic Republic in the last 4 years.

We may not have a chance tomorrow to protest against these totalitarians, especially if we continue to have the magnitude of storms like Katrina and Rita, which FEMA and this (mis)administration will likely use to further erode our civil rights and the rights of the states.

By the way, my brother and his family (five kids from a blended marriage) and numerous other friends and family members are included in those displaced people you referred to in the OP. I have family in NOLA who haven't been able to get back to their homes, family who fled to Edinberg from Houston and family in FLA who are wiped out from all the hurricanes---AND they all were so looking forward to seeing the Anti-War protesters and Peace marchers descending upon the White House today and later this weekend!

I make no apologies if my last post seemed condescending. Are you really that surprised? Your 'wisdom' seems a bit misplaced somehow, as does the manner in which you attemtped to exact your message, IMHO.
