Read this article, Look at the difference in the words spoken from the people organizing the peace rally compared to the ones who like to kill and make wars.
Don't these people understand we can no longer be the bully around the world. Our many years of telling the others, whom we live with on this planet, how they must live is haunting us now. And the idiots controlling us now are causing more divide between us. In our future our children will bleed because of the idiots choices.
If you hit a child - that strike will stick with that child forever. You have to give 20 hugs before a child will remember how much they are loved. It takes so many hugs to undo the one strike on a child. We as a country don't give enough hugs that can be remembered. Because we don't hug our so many strikes, hits are felt that much more...thus....divided we stand and hate we breed.
Remember your mother telling you "if you didn't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all? I've been to many peace rally's. The nasty and mean people are always the ones pimping this war. The peace people are always filled with passion in a nice, hugging kind of way.
And about defacing the flag that the pro war people seam to think the peace people do. They are the ones who are always wearing the flag on their person or their "bikes".... watch and see.
Read the article and see what I mean about the words used on both sides. Hopefully I can find pictures of the event later today to show you who is using the American flag the wrong way.
Standing up and demanding your country stop killing people is American. Going along with the king is what people were running away from and how our country was formed. To speak your mind, to use your passion in action to change our country for the better is being a good American. To go along with the king is to be very unamerican.
May PEACE be inside ALL of us,
Cindy
ADVERTISEMENTGREENSBORO — When national activist Cindy Sheehan arrives at Saturday's anti-war rally in downtown Greensboro, she will be met with a large number of counterprotesters, police said Thursday.
Members of the Greensboro Police Department's Special Operations Division said they have been working for weeks to prevent a violent confrontation.
"For their own safety and the safety of everybody, we don't want the two groups to intermingle," said Capt. Robert Flynt, the commander of the Special Operations squad assigned to the event.
Counterprotesters won't be allowed to demonstrate in Phill G. McDonald Plaza because they don't have a permit for the area, Flynt said. But there will be a nearby area for counterprotesters, and police will close down Greene Street during the rally.
The anti-war rally was organized by The World Can't Wait, a national group with ties to the Revolutionary Communist Party.
The bulk of the counterprotest ers are expected to be from Gathering of Eagles, a veterans group that opposed anti-war protest ers in Washington last month.
"We would like to outnumber the people there to support Sheehan," said Charles Gant, 58, of Greensboro. Gant is an Eagles member and a Vietnam War veteran.
He said he expects between 500 and 1,000 Eagles and supporters at the event, some from as far away as Georgia and Kentucky .
Gant said Rolling Thunder, a national biker group that opposes anti-war protests, also will be on hand.
"We want to be able to shout Sheehan down, so she can't be heard by anyone," Gant said. "She's anti-American, and she doesn't have anything worth saying."
Police have met with members of The World Can't Wait, Flynt said. The group said it will work with police to keep its members from becoming violent or confrontational.
"We're not interested in any kind of confrontation with these people," said Tim Hopkins, 61, of Greensboro, who is one of the rally's organizers.
"We have permits, and we've set up an event that will concentrate on speakers and getting our message out to the people of Greensboro and the world."
Rally organizers said they were concerned by posts about the rally on the Eagles' Web site.
One post by a retired Marine from Greenville read: "Eagles need to soar and gather! Notice is short, but the need to rally the troops and be 'in their face' is necessary."
The post signed off with: "ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK.... 'EAGLE UP.'"
Gant said that post wasn't about violence but enthusiasm for the rally in the language of a passionate war veteran.
Gant said his group plans to show a strong opposition Saturday, but a non violent opposition.
"We told the police no one from our group is going to do anything violent unless someone defaces an American flag," Gant said. "If that happens, I'm going to tackle them and they'll have to arrest me."
