Protests and Counter-Protests

The front page of Sunday’s newspaper made no mention of the Gathering of Eagles March. In fact, none of the articles in the entire paper as far as even muttered a syllable about it. However, the front page did say, “Iraq War: Its four-year anniversary gives rise to protests in the capital and across the nation.”

There was a brief story in the local section about a counter-protest march in San Bernardino.

Perhaps, I thought, not enough people showed up for the Gathering of Eagles for it to make it to the news.

15,000 Eagles marched on the capital, outnumbering the anti-war crowd, and filling in every nook and cranny of D.C. with American Flags and patriotic signs.

I heard that the war protestors draped themselves in yellow blankets. Yellow. Appropriate color.

Maybe there was just a mistake, and the local newspapers I read (I gander at three local papers - and none of them are the Los Angeles Times) would give equal coverage to the Eagles on Monday.

Front Page, on Monday’s Paper, read: “War Objectors: Thousands March in California, New York.” Underneath that it read, “Activists seek end to fighting, funding.”

Wait, I could have sworn a certain liberal commenter on Political Pistachio, not too long ago, claimed that the idea of the left desiring a cut and run and a cut in funding to the troops was a right-wing myth! Maybe our lefty nut cakes are not as in tune with their movement as they think.

Page three headlined: “Get out of Iraq, protesters say,” and “Marchers on both coasts claim withdrawal is will of people.”

Next page kissed Obama’s butt. Page after that claimed Israel needs to give up land to Palestine. And on and on it went.

What is the matter with these people? Why are they so partisan in a world they claim is crying out for non-partisanship?

The answer is simple, and many folks fear this next statement because it reeks of conspiracy. The mainstream media has fallen victim to the lefty effort to inject into America the socialist agenda, led by folks like George Soros (in fact he funded many of the marches - grass roots my butt!), Peter Lewis, Michael Moore, Rosie O’Donnell, George Clooney, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, and the list goes on and on and on. Did I mention Bill Moyers?

Well, Political Pistachio is happy to say that the voices of the Eagles are welcome here, and one of our own blogger friends was there in Washington D.C. last Saturday to be a part of it, and he has provided a great report. Go to Bushwack’s site, American and Proud, for the full diddy.

And if that’s not enough, Bushwack has also agreed to be my guest on Political Pistachio Radio on March 31 to tell us about his trip, what he experienced, and how he dealt with the idiot left’s representatives there in Washington D.C. on March 17. Tune in at Blog Talk Radio, March 31, 4 pm Pacific/7 pm Eastern for the full scoop.

The mainstream media is pushing the agenda, my friends. They are not our friend. We must counter their tactics. We are conservative bloggers! United We Stand!

Blessings,

Doug
