Self-indulgence

The enraged speeches and street disorders across the country that accompanied the inauguration of President Bush may tell us more than we want to know about what is happening to this country. The media dignify these outbursts by calling them "protests" but what are they protesting?

That they lost the election? Doesn't somebody always lose an election? Did the Republicans take to the streets when Bill Clinton was elected? Are the shouters and the rioters protesting that they disagree with President Bush's policies? Isn't that why we hold elections in the first place -- because people disagree?

Elections are supposed to be an alternative to other ways of settling political differences, including riots, military coups and dictatorships. But riots have been re-christened "demonstrations" by the mealy-mouth media.

What are these "demonstrations" demonstrating -- other than adolescent self-indulgence and contempt for the rights of other people to go about their lives without finding their streets clogged with hooligans and the air filled with obscenities?

1. Not just partisan... but stupid.

The Rethugs always protest. What the hell is he talking about. THere were plenty of people unhapy about Clinton, and they were very vocal. But you know what? Clinton didn't committ war crimes and appoint other war criminals to cabinet positions. All Clinton had was a blow job that we, the taxpayers paid for in the form of millions of dollars to Starr's office.

2. repubs don't bother with protest. They pay ken starr & others

to do the dirty work. Why bother protesting when you can simply buy the opinion of those who make the decisions?
whoever that ass is, he seems to be advocating some kind of totalitarian state in the name of orderly society.
