Schindlers Tell Protesters to Get Lives
Well they didn’t put it that way, exactly (link).
I have never been a big fan of protests. In fact in my entire life I have attended all of two – one against Reagan in 1984 and a candlelight vigil against wilding attacks in 1991. I don’t like protests for several reasons.
First, I don’t think they are effective except in rare cases – say as in when hundreds of thousands gather to overthrow a gov’t. Those types of protests are effective, but in the USA we haven’t seen an effective street protest in over thirty years. That leads to the second reason I don’t like protests.
Because they are ineffective most rational people don’t waste their time. After all I have a hard enough time watching a rented movie in a week. Where do I have the time to waste hours or days protesting? Which leads me to the third reason I don’t like protests:
Those that have the time to protest are moonbats. Left wing moonbats. Right wing moonbats. It doesn’t matter to me. These are people who get a kick out of chanting, carrying signs and pissing off cops – and I don’t like to hang around this type of people. At all. I would much rather hang around with people who do encourage change. These are the thousands of people who work for non-profits and advocacy organizations like the ITPAA, or the NRA, or the AMA.
There may have been a time to protest outside of Terri Schiavo’s hospice, but that time passed when the Schindler family told the protesters to go home. Anyone who remains out there against their wishes is a moonbat. He or she needs to get a job, a prozac script, and a life in that order.
