Anti-War Protestors put on
an ugly face Saturday Afternoon - being pretty much confined to a single corner
at the intersection of Brea and Imperial Hwy. |
|
For the past few months, a
small crowd of the Anti-American faithful has had the intersection all to
themselves. |
 |
The usual opportunistic
"causes" have climbed aboard the "No War" band wagon. Hemp: aka
Cannabis aka Marijuana |
. |
The red "V" is for
"Vagina" - the button pinned to her shirt reads "Pussies Unite".
She's
angry that, due to her lack of education, she can only make minimum wage.
She believes that the government should provide her with a better
paying job and free healthcare.
Hmmm.... quack
quack, waddle waddle.... - Socialism! Hey great idea - worked well in the
U.S.S.R.... right? Problem is, most of these "Activists" don't even
know what U.S.S.R. stands for.
They're not old enough to remember. Many
of them are college students - one of whom who, after shouting "NO WAR FOR OIL"
all day long - I saw driving off in a Toyota SUV. Hmm... that's not
hypocritical, is it? |
|
But, over the past
several weeks, things have changed. The Anti-Americans are no longer in
complete control of the intersection.

Ashley B. is a retired Art
teacher from Laguna Niguel. She joins the other Pro-Americans here with a
simple, single, message:
There are many people here who support our
troops and their Commander in Chief |
|
This was a typical,
Pro-American, response. While the Anti-War corner did receive it's share of
responses, a clear majority of the positive responses were directed at the
Pro-Americans. |

This fire truck made
several runs during the afternoon - and they made a point of honking their horn
loud and long for the Pro-Americans every time they drove past on
their way back to the firehouse. |

Louise Ross gathers
contact information from the Pro-Americans. She has taken up the task of
organizing the opposition to the Anti-War crowd at the intersection. |

Her Son, Sgt. Charles
Ross, is a Marine Reservist who has been deployed to the gulf. |
