“No You Can’t!” Rally at White House December 12
Unity Among Peace Movement Groups against Obama War Escalation - Warning of Reprisals to Troop Surge

WASHINGTON DC -- Over 100 leading peace activists have announced an ‘Emergency Anti-Escalation Rally’ at the White House on December 12, from 11a.m. to 4 p.m., to reject President Obama’s planned military escalation in Afghanistan. The rally is organized by End US Wars, a newly formed coalition of national and grass-roots antiwar organizations, with endorsements from leading peace leaders.

Rally organizers are calling for the left wing to end its support for Obama if he declares a surge in troops, and for condemnation of Obama’s war policy by his own party faithful. In addition, efforts will begin to cut short his term in office, along with Congress; and protests will intensify against U.S. war involvement in Afghanistan, Iraq and any other countries.

3. So because one policy is bad we are supposed to end support for all policies.

That is called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

However, I do support their right to protest.

4. Yeah, he's been outstanding on everything else

Abortion rights, gay rights, health care, Wall Street, trade, privacy. A shame to condemn all those wonderfully progressive Obama Administration policies all because of a silly little war.

5. So you do feel that we should oppose all of his polices.

I don't.

8. This is what you said.

Abortion rights, gay rights, health care, Wall Street, trade, privacy. A shame to condemn all those wonderfully progressive Obama Administration policies all because of a silly little war.
:sarcasm:

I can read sarcasm. Clearly, you seem to express the idea that only one policy is important.

10. You misunderstood me. Don't sweat it.

Have a nice day.

6. We the Insurance Industry Execs of America applaud

The Health Care Reform Act of 2009. How better to take care of the uninsured by inviting and mandating that they purchse insurance.

We admit his insistence on having a "Deficit neutral" Reform Act at first scared the bejesus out of us. But then we realized with a few campaign coffer tidbits we could induce him into overlooking how we inflated the costs of health care for the last eight years, and ignore those cost escalations, but instead, while keeping those inflated costs, examine only how much most Americans might need the items that those costs represented.

He's a good guy - that Obama - and he is worth every penny our industry gave him a little over a year ago

9. Good news and bad news....

The bad news is that Obama is escalating the war. The good news is that this probably means the anti-war rallies will finally be televised.
