IF ANYONE HAS THE GUTS TO ACTUALLY MARCH ON DC

[Jeffersons Ghost]

Can we carry a Christian fish symbol?... You know a Peace sign of a fish?
We'll at least can we have a Kum-by-ya song? Ok, HOW ABOUT A FISH SONG? Here's good marching music I fixed up by Country Joe and the Fish... We used the original version when I marched as a kid... This version has a nice ring I think... I kinda predict the future though, cause it will take what a sing about to get Amerika off her fat ass.

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way out yonder in Iran
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Reminds me of Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go get those towel-heads —
The only good Muslim is one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Reminds me of Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray if they drop some nukes,
They drop um on the Iranian pukes.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Reminds me of Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers, now don’t be sad
Pack your boys off to Baghdad.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Reminds me of Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

1. This is great

But so true!!! Take religion off this planet and the wars would end.Religion teaches hate for anyone who doesnt agree with you and as Einstien said I dont know what the world war 3 will be fought with but ww4 will be with sticks and stones.
The history of this planet is a bloody one cause we all have to disagree with each others beliefs.How sad.We need to forget the hatred and practise love for each other and not care what anyone believes.Instead of trying to solve the problems outside ourself we need to discover our inner self.
Peace to this troubled planet.NO more hatred or killing.What has it solved??Who has it benefitted???It is all about selfishness and greed.
As a great philospher once said know thyself!!!!

2. Beautifully said, I totally agree... Bush's war on science is transparent

They are truly fighting off the end of religionism, which they know must be coming and will accelerate if the Christian Coalition goes down with Abramoff et al.

Glad to know that we in the peace movement are going through the same things right now!

3. very few religions teach hate...

Jesus had a primary message of love for everyone especially the poor, weak and crippled unlike repuks who want to cut off their social security/ welfare. Actually modern genetics trace our earliest homo sapien to a mere 60.000 years ago and archaeological evidence suggests that religion occurred about the same time... It ain't going anywhere.

5. Religionism: Excessive or affected religious zeal.

As opposed to enlightenment:

11. actually

While there was certainly a notable "enlightenment movement" in the 18th century, as a philosophical concept it occurs in writings by Plato, who likely learned it from the teachings of Pythagoras, a contemporary of Confucius and Buddha. Now there's an "enlightenment period" for you, with those three enlightened individuals, all living at around 500 BCE.

4. Hmm...

***Einstien said I dont know what the world war 3 will be fought with but ww4 will be with sticks and stones.***

That statement implies that he sure *does* know what ww3 will be fought with.

8. Religions don't teach hate

most of them teach peace. it's humans who teach hate.

10. good friggin point

"Voter fraud." What a misnomer... Sometimes even I bite for the propaganda... Like USA Patriot Act or Pope INNOCENT III who started the Crusades and Inquisition. How about "elected official?" Bama got some nice new voting machines but we have the worst educational system in the nation... Guess which company makes the new machines? Well at least there close to being truly named "DEADBOLT!"

9. Not so

Even Jesus said to "turn the other cheek" and "love thy neighbor." He was as anti-war as you can get. It's people who abuse religion who make war and use it to hide behind.

6. Seriously, is there a march planned?

Had a blast in Sept, would do it again in a heartbeat !

[Jeffersons Ghost]

7. not so far

There have been a bunch of posts on the topic and they all act spunky when anonymous but at DU they're saying "IF" there's a filibuster and they shut um down with the nuck bull crap. There won't be a filibuster it's strategically unsound.
