California Says No to Bush -- Santa Clara Protest

YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME WHAT SO EVER

I'd like to see the US regain our freedom and have Bush and cronies tried for war crimes. If guilty, a public execution on CNN would be justive Texas style (sorry Dixie Chicks)....

maybe someone will kill the bastard Pres first :0) i'd vote for that...put peace aside for once!

I was a young German man during the rise of the reich.

Me and my friends, we were opposed to the war.

We made many signs that we hung on different walls essentially saying that we were opposed to war of "expansion" yet we supported our Nazi troops( the boys in uniform).

Needless to say that didn't affect our elected rulers decision 1 way or another.

So me and my buddies, we stripped to our birthday suits and formed a piece sign with our naked boddies!
Pretty risque, hey?

We thought so!!!

So cut to 70 years later and we are steal Using the same tactics with the Same Results!

kids: "We like war!"

father: "That's my boys!"

Children usually reflect and espouse the ideas of their parents as they have no independent life experience. The rich children, as these 2 boys obviously are, espouse the reactionary ideas of their rich parents, who support Bush because Bush works for them and only them. His tax cuts, his constant attacks on labor and his war profiteering all benefit the rich. The obvious question is, why weren't these boys in school? What were they doing there in the first place?

When these boys have to confront reality as adults, they may change their tune. My experience is that only happens when their own lives are put on the line. During the Vietnam War, the rich were subject to the draft, which they usually avoided with the student deferment. When that deferment expired upon graduation, they usually found another angle, as did Bush, getting into the National Guard with his father's influence.

Another way the attitudes of the rich change is when they lose their wealth, as just happened in Argentina, which the middle class had their bank accounts stolen to pay the national debts, and as happened during the Great Depression in the US, when many lost their fortunes due to business and bank failures. The famous founder of the gay liberation movement, Harry Hay, is a good example of the riches to rags turned radical American experience.

What we must never forget is the rich are the few and the workingclass is the many, and that when labor withdraws its hand, nothing moves. Labor has the power to make change because it is labor that creates all wealth.

Thank you activists!! I had to work, but I knew you would tell Bush what we believe. I love California!! Watch Texas today! Great protests are planned.

Amazing. A picture of two boys waving an American flag is something that frightens some people. From this picture someone can tell that
A. They are rich kids
B. Their parents teach them to like war.
Now who exactly is brain-washed?

In my comments I actually said disturbing. I will leave it up to you what I find disturbing.

As an anticapitalist studying and protesting in Europe this year I was shocked to see so little turn out for the anti Bush demos in my home state. Bush was speaking at a weapons manufacturer with only 2,000 people protesting- not a lot by the standards out here! Did the word not get spread? THere were very few police and if there were more people holding up closer the the police line this demo could have had a lot more press coverage and been more effective. Who was organizing this thing? The demo held for a pubilc speaker right in front of McDonalds without one single Anti-Capitalism sign!
Bush doesn't come to Cali every day were going to have to make the next one count and I'll be with you this time !
