You can’t be anti-war and pro-choice
What do these anti-war protests being organized in some of our cities have to do with peace? Nothing! They are built on hatred for the president of this country, brought on by the rhetoric of hate from the opposite party in Congress. The signs and rhetoric from those in these protests give proof of their motives, calling the president names like Hitler, murderer, etc.
We are at war in Iraq and we are under a high terrorist alert at home. These protesters are creating disturbances that would hinder authorities from responding to any crisis.
I saw a sign in Nashville N.O.W. and a pink lady said they were concerned about the loss of life. We all have this concern, but for this organization to say this is unbelievable. They are pro-choice. Over 42 million babies have been killed in the past 30 years. Pro-choice is a plank in the Democratic platform. President Clinton twice vetoed a ban on partial birth abortions, why wasn’t he called a murdered or Hitler? President Bush is anti-abortion and this is one reason for their hate.
During a recent debate on partial birth abortions, a Senator Boxer (D-Calif.) fought tooth and nail against the bill to ban this procedure. This procedure is the brutal killing of an innocent child. She does not think God relevant in the process of giving life.
She introduced an amendment to ban drilling for oil in Alaska. Her reason was because the area involved was a gift from God and we should not disturb it. The animals there, also are God’s gift and we should not disturb them. God also gave us the oil. Why would He put the oil there if it wasn’t for us to use. Her rhetoric tells us that man should not be allowed to use the resources that God gave us, but God’s most precious gift (a child) can be destroyed if a woman so chooses. All the Democratic presidential hopefuls acknowledge the same thing.
These protesters have taken their cue from the Democrats in Congress. The likes of Daschle, Byrd, Kennedy, Pelosi and quite a few others. They use this war to voice their untruthful rhetoric and hate. The Democrats in Congress are doing everything and anything to undermine this president. Watch some of the speeches given on the floor of the House and Senate and also two former presidents.
Then, of course, there is Michael Moore (he is an American speaking to the world at the Oscar Awards.) The reason for these protest was made clear, the hatred for the president. Congratulations, this hatred has now spilled out into the street, when we least need it.
