Anti-War Toys
In case you were wondering how stupid Miami's anti-war can left be:
You may have seen them somewhere around Miami -- tiny plastic toy soldiers enlisted in the war against the war.
''Bring them home!'' says the front of the tag wrapped around the soldier's leg. On the back, the numbers for Senators Bill Nelson and Mel Martinez.
The pacifist toy soldiers are popping up in supermarkets, drug stores and other public places. Call it the Dada protest: It's driven by the hope that war, that most destructive of pursuits, can be halted by a sly creative genius just this side of the absurd.
The campaign, brought here by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation -- www.uumia.org -- near South Miami, begins its third week today. Already, church members have distributed dozens of soldiers across the county.

What a stupid, useless gesture, like all the stupid, useless gestures we are subjected to by the looney left, but, I suppose we should be grateful that they're not protesting the war by taking off their clothes.
Why don't they head over to Iraq and have a little chat with the insurgents about ending the war?

The gestures are simply acts to make them FEEL better. After all their FEELINGS matter above all else. Consequences of actions matter not unless it let's them FEEL good about themselves. The nature of the gesture is only important in it's ability to stimulate the requisite FEELING. Meanwhile more serious folks are doing what they can to make the country and the world a better place for everyone... even if necessary steps don't FEEL so great.

You want to piss these people off? Say "I support the democrats, get them out of Washington and back home now!"
