I sure hope Barack brings enough pixie dust for the whole country on the 20th. I wonder how they&#8217;ll explain away the next attack.<\/p>\n<p>That quote from Alice Walker (the author of &#8220;The Color Purple&#8221; and Code Pink member) is the most naive and childish thing I&#8217;ve ever read written by an adult;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think war is so incredibly backward, and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s intelligent, and it&#8217;s not sane. When I think of Obama leading us, I think that we elected someone who can actually have the humility to follow us, which is to say that the world is turning away from militarism. We&#8217;re sick of it. We are absolutely sick of starving children, raped women, abused populations. We are totally disgusted. And we have the power, really, to say, &#8216;No more.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s the way an award-winning author speaks these days? If I didn&#8217;t know better, I&#8217;d have thought it was written by a 1st grader. They expect Barack Obama to follow them? Is that why we elected him? To follow every crowd of crackpots that raises their voice? Funny, but I remember someone telling me that the President is supposed to be a leader.<\/p>\n<p>And that &#8220;The War Is So Over&#8221; sounds like a bunch of post-menopausal hags trying to sound hip. Oh. Never mind.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, does anyone know if Roger Ailes is paying bonuses to the Fox News talent for every time they say &#8220;Barack Obama&#8221; on the air?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My latest email from the hags at Code Pink celebrates the end of &#8220;the war&#8221; &#8211; &hellip; <a title=\"Code Pink&#8217;s deep delusion\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=5179\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Code Pink&#8217;s deep delusion<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,43,47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-code-pink","category-liberals-suck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5179\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
