Sununu sit in. Antiwar peaceniks joined by pro-troops group.
The innocuous little AP blurb noted
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- New Hampshire peace activists are planning a sit-in today at Sen. John Sununu's offices, their sixth in five weeks.
A "sit-in"? Has the age of aquarius returned? Well, not quite. Back in the day, the misguided youth of the sixties, mostly in the colleges, seemingly overran the so-called "establishment" to win the debate, and the government caved. As the popular VH-1 program asks, "Where are they now?" Well, a good many grew up and went on to live fairly normal lives, never to be much heard from again. Some, however, never gave up "the fight." (Almost like a weird twist on the old saw about the Japanese soldier on an island who never got the message that the war is over) Yes, some of the very same children of the sixties, now much older and greyer, occupied a small space in NH Sen. John Sununu's office for a "sit-in." And while they may look like a bunch of silly retreads seeking one last hurrah reminiscent of the "good 'ole days," unfortunately, the government, or, at least the Democratic-led Congress, might once again cave. GraniteGrok was there...

The AP story further noted,
Participants planned to read statements and urge Sununu to support a withdrawal. Organizers also want Sununu to avoid any confrontation with Iran.
Additionally, the group of peaceniks called on Congress to stop ALL funding of the war. As they sat in chairs with Kumbayah type music quietly playing in the backround, performing a group reading of a play dramatizing the warlike nature and rhetoric of some Christian Church service (demonstrating their disdain for all things religion-- actually, only one particular religion) they were suddenly joined by some more folks. Only these people weren't at Sununu's office to join the silly little sit in.
.
No, they were there to show support for our troops. And our country. Support that stays all the way through to victory.
Enter some fine veterans...

And the Blue and Gold Star Moms, or, as we're calling them here at the 'Grok, the "Moms of Fury"...

That's right. They're mad as heck, and not going to take it anymore! No longer are the antiwar protesters going to rule the day. When they gather in opposition to war, the troops, and America, others will gather in order to show that the moonbats and those wishing defeat for America do NOT speak for all. The event was videotaped, and portions will be YouTubed. Check back for more postings on this event. What a thrill it was to watch ordinary Americans standing for what's right-- no matter how difficult!
