Feb 14, 2003 I am not going to the anti-war protest tomorrow. It isn't that I can't, or my car is broke or something. It isn't that I have to work or that I have family in from out of town. No, it isn't that at all. No, what it is is that I am sick, really sick of all of these "anti-war" people. I am sick of the fact that they have no idea what they are talking about. I am sick of the fact that most of them wear clothes that are about 8 sizes too big. I am sick of the fact that they all think that they are somehow going to resurrect the "Peace Movement" of the sixties. Most of all though, I am really sick of the fact that they are enemies of the military, enemies of the government, and most of all enemies of the American people. FDR once said that you could "judge him by his enemies". In other words, you are everything that your enemies are not. Thank God for that. I am everything that these spoiled-rotten establishment haters are not. I love my country. I work for a living. I believe in a free market. I believe in capitalism. I love the fact that I can go down to the Rite-aid at 3AM and buy two roles of toilet paper and a pack of cigarettes, and I don't have to show anybody "my papers". Don't these "Anti-war" idiots know that if it weren't for War we would all be speaking German and there would be no Hanukkah? We would all be going to "Oktoberfest" and dancing at gunpoint the "oompa-oompa" polka dance. We would all be eating those greasy sausages and drinking that dark bitter beer. Don't they know that. No, they don't, and that is exactly what makes them my enemy. Because they are everything that I am not. Judge ME by MY enemies. Go ahead.
