bedfellows

Reports on the anti-war protests in Washington are comin’ in. It should be known that the principle organizer of these rallies, International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism… is anyone else concerned that they conflate war and racism?), is really a front for the Workers World Party, a sect that broke off the Socialist Workers Party in 1956. They are pro-Stalinists and anti-Americanists. Capitalism is to fall. Private property is to be seized. Cuba, China and North Korea are to be shining beacons of justice once the U.S. steps off their throats. Oh, and after they kill all their dissenters, of course.

Saddam runs one of the most efficient communist rackets in the world. Iraq cannot be invaded, because if conditions in the country suddenly improve after the Great Satan ousts the jerk, it would kick sand in the face of the socialist movement. The WWP is afraid because they know this will happen, so what are they to do in defense? Prop up A.N.S.W.E.R., recruit some neo-hippies and let them do all the work. America, keep your hands off Iraq because Iraq rocks. Let them develop a nuclear program, point some warheads at Israel, take over the Arab world and let the Reds inherit the earth. I’m willing to take Saddam on his promise of fame and power and glory, aren’t you?

Look who else is on their side!

Power Line‘s got pics and words ’bout the rally.

Look, even the Baghdadians are protesting.

There’s always International A.O.W.C.U.T.G.D.F.P.

Be careful who you allow between the sheets.
