Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 D Mon, 23 May 2005 15:38:33 -0700 (PDT) Protest Here, Protest There, Protests Protests Everywhere! If you've been following the foreign press this week you'll note that anti-American sentiment and protests are at an all-time high. But apparently, it's not only the foreign Muslim community who has a beef with the US government sufficient to warrant planning massive protests to demonstrate their dissatisfaction. In case you hadn't noticed, numerous anti-war and impeachment protests within the US are now being planned by our very own citizens, as well. In the USA approval rating that just came out today, it stated that the public is clearly not happy with the manner in which our administration is handling things. A record 57% surveyed said they disagree with Bush on the issues that matter most to them. And only about half (52%) said that our President has " the personality and leadership qualities a president should have. " (Bush's lowest rating in this category, ever). http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-05-23-approval-ratings_x.htm?POE=NEWISVA (If the true figures were known they would be much worse) I've listed below a couple of links that discuss the anti-US protests being planned by at least 44 various Muslim groups throughout the world. And I strongly suspect that before the world gets even angrier with America (and by all indications, anti-American sentiment's clearly on the rise) it might be a wise idea to start talking with one another and decide what to do with a government that clearly has precious few allies (both inside the US and out). How long will the patience of our good Muslim neighbors - and our own fellow citizens - hold out? When are we going to say enough is enough and demand an end to being represented by those who clearly are not looking out for the best interests of the citizens of its own nation (and who don't seem to give a damn about the rest of humanity, either)? Remember, all thinking people. The Patriot Act provisions were not designed to keep us safe from those evil-doing foreign boogeymen. Instead, these growing police state measures are purposely designed to keep the government safe from its own angry, disgruntled, and fed-up citizen patriots. And with the masses so upset right now (both in and out of the nation) it's no wonder that Congress wanted to talk more Patriot Act talk ... behind closed doors.
