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.

All of you so obsessed with one American’s hospice transition should have a good look at the suffering caused by the War in Iraq, courtesy of George W. Bush.
There are over 1500 dead soldiers, 30,000 injured on the U.S. side, 100,000 dead and who knows how many injured on the Iraqi side.

Read the rest of this journal. We have discussed all the items you mention. At length. For over 3 and a half years.
And people like you who are so obsessed about George Bush should take a good look at Democracy and human rights breaking out all over the Arab world, courtesy of George Bush.
Unless of course you don’t believe that Arabs aren’t advanced enough for Democracy.
