NYC Issues GOP Convention Protest Permits
The unionists, abortionists, socialists, pacifists and miscellaneous useful idiots are picking up their protest permits to turn New York city into a circus during the Republican's national convention.
Don't get me wrong -- I have nothing against protesting. Protesting is a fundamental right in our nation. I guess my problem is with the silly protesters. I don't know what the union people will do or how they'll protest. Heck, I don't even know what they'll be protesting, as I've seen nothing anti-union from Bush to date. However, the abortionists will have their same silly signs and silly chants and coathangers. The communists, socialists and pacifists will have their own silly signs and silly chants and many will generally look like they need showers and are just trying to leap back to the Sixties.
Here's an idea, protester person, shower, shave (that goes for male and female), dress normally and carry a sign that, without falsehood, profanity and exaggeration, expresses a valid point. That is how to get mainstream America to take notice. Freaks may get more media attention, but the average American looks at the photos and television segments, only to sigh and mutter, "Great, more freaks." No message conveyed.
Late Wednesday, police announced additional permits to groups including the Christian Defense Coalition, Planned Parenthood (news - web sites), the Middle East Peace Coalition and People for the American Way. Demonstrations, prayer vigils and rallies by these organizations would be held from Aug. 28 to Sept. 1.What? No sign of ANSWER? And who is going to give anybody the Brooklyn Bridge for a protest?
But United for Peace and Justice and city officials are to meet again Friday to discuss the anti-war group's application for a rally and march for 250,000 people on convention eve, said Bill Dobbs, a spokesman for the group.
