Wrong Way Peace Movement

• It failed to prevent the war in Afghanistan.
• It failed to prevent the war in Iraq.
• It failed to change power in the executive branch.
• It failed to end the war in Iraq.
• It was duped by Democrats in 2006 who promised “A New Direction In Iraq” without ever having even formed a committee to brainstorm ideas until 2 months after being elected.
• It failed to prevent The Surge offensive.
• It failed to stop cannibals in the Congo [and was silent while 4-6million died as UN peacekeepers raped and sold children en masse].
• It failed to stop the bloodshed in Darfur.
• It speaks out against the efforts (war) of US forces to protect people from terror.
• It speaks the same rhetoric as the enemy’s propaganda.
• It is silent in response to terrorist attacks.
• It is openly embraced by Islamic holy warriors.

I don’t know, but the fact remains that the Peace Movement seems more a partisan political tool and a carnival than a substantive and meaningful call for action. Perhaps someday it will succeed in bringing peace to a war torn nation rather than support those tearing it apart? Perhaps it would be more successful if it marched and took action against the terrorists?

One other note: Jules Crittenden weighs in on the importance of Iraq in the global war on terror:

Iraq has become the central battlefield in the 21st century’s Islamic war, and may have been destined to be, with or without us. Lying geographically, ideologically, and culturally athwart the Middle East, rich in resources and boiling with rage long before we got there, it is the place where the war will either be settled or truly begun. It is a fitting role for the cradle of civilization to host a war in which the very progress of civilization is being challenged.

And now for some South Park wisdom:

Somehow I don’t see the peace protesters agreeing with South Park…. Pity

West Chester Rally 07/05/2008

Group Photo by Sean.

You can view more of his remarkable work HERE. The magnificent NeoCon was not present at our rally as he was deployed to an undisclosed location this weekend.

It was good to stand on the corner in West Chester today. After the successful participation in TWO parades yesterday, the Sheepdogs were in high spirits. We also debuted our new banner boldly advertising our commitment and our support of the troops. We were happy to see Joe Dohety, who stood with us on Flag Day and returned to stand with us today. He brought his friend, Diane, who was proud to stand with the Sheepdogs in support of our troops.

As we embark upon our 11th month standing in support of our troops, there is tangible evidence revealing that our dedication and respectful rallies are making a difference. Letters from our troops keep pouring into Rich’s email letting him know how thankful and encouraged they are by seeing us stand up for them every week in West Chester. Our opposition takes a different tact – but they support the troops – don’t you know – and their email box remains empty.

Here is a quick picture spam from today’s rally. More photos of this rally can be found HERE

The patch featured above is sported by one of our Sheepdogs. Charlie shows up every week with a denim jacket covered in patches. Today, I took the time to ask about the meaning behind some of the patches. He pointed to the one pictured above and explained this was memorial patch to the 343 firemen that gave their lives on 9/11. The date is sewn upside down to indicate a distress call and the number “343″ is designed in a tree pattern to honor the fallen firemen. Remember, these are the people the left had labeled ‘little eichmanns’. Every Saturday in West Chester, a Sheepdog finds a way to honor and remember these firemen.

Interested in joining us? We stand in support of our troops every Saturday at the corner of High & Market Streets in West Chester, PA. The rally begins at 10:45 AM and ends promptly at Noon. Immediately following the rally, we adjourn to a local restaurant for good food, good conversation and good beer!

West Chester Rally 6-28-08

A sunny day greeted this merry band of patriots. We had an outstanding showing, with a new face from the Knights of Columbus. The flags and signs were greeted with numerous honks from passing cars. As we continue to stand on the corner of West Chester, the honking and thumbs up increases from the motorists. It is such a great response from the public, which thrills our supporters and annoys our detractors.

Ah, life is sweet in West Chester -thanks to all the Sheepdogs who steadfastly stand in support of our troops and our Nation.

Your very humble blogger, along with two brilliantly talented individuals, has crafted the video posted below. This video has been entered into the RNC Convention Video contest:

I love this sign – it puts everything in perspective:

With the Mehdi Army dissolving as I type this, can we take surrender off the table regarding the War on Terror?

This is an increasingly common sight in West Chester, Pa. A motorist thanking a Sheepdog for standing in support of our troops and America:

Another common occurrence in West Chester, Pa: Sarah Bones, an interloper from the other side:

For those who came late to the party: There’s an informal agreement that we Americans (Sheepdogs) will not mix with the “peace protesters” and they would not mix with us.

Well a “peace treaty’ is only as good as desire for peace on either side, their honesty in entering into such an agreement and their integrity in meeting their obligations under a peace agreement. Today Chester County Peace Movement, Veterans For Peace, Karen Porter and John Grant failed (yet again) to live up to both the spirit and letter of the agreement.

There is strong evidence that it was willful blindness rather than an honest mistake. The elderly woman with the tape recorder and professional looking camera was a CCPM ally. She’s Sarah Bones, an “Indy Media journalist”. Truth is that they are propagandists for the other side. To disarm people, they lie and say they don’t have a side in an issue they interview you about. They are as honest and truthful John Grant would be….if John Grant were ever honest and truthful.

Here’s two links, the first makes it clear she’s “Indy Media” and second link shows that the Philadelphia Indy media Center was one group that were sent Porter’s plea for reinforcements her planned Faux Flag Day. My suspicion is that Grant forwarded Porter’s email, either way it’s the same thing, CCPM=VFP and VFP=CCPM. Philly Indy Media is part of that side, not ours and certainly not neutral.
