Do conservatives ever march?

[mtnsnake]

Why is it that I can't recall anything like that? About the only things I can ever remember them protesting against are the protestors themselves, where they get the opportunity to showcase their ignorance and anger. Have they ever initiated any large-scale marches themselves? Am I forgetting something?

1. Yes, all the time. In lockstep.

Surprised you haven't noticed. ;-)

2. Remember the KKK? They used to have some big shows.

3. sure they do!

I expect we'll see more of them, the more their world falls apart.

4. They try it every once in awhile....

but they usually have about twelve participants, so the impact is somewhat
diluted. :rofl:

[mtnsnake]

8. Maybe they could organize a Million Moron March

That's one way they could improve their turnout. :rofl:

[Toots]

9. Didn't they try that with their million dad march?

About eighty thousand turned out and had a prayer fest....

5. I remember seeing videos of Marches in Germany in the 30's

I remember seeing videos of Marches in Germany in the 30's led by Hitler. They were conservatives that marched.

If marches start happening in the US, I am running to the border.

6. Why yes. Haven't you ever seen the goosestep in action? n/t

7. If you want to count the Anti-Abortionists

I'm sick of calling them Pro-life when they think killing is OK for a criminal or someone that lives in another country.

10. They're smarter than the left in this respect; no one that....

matters cares how many demos are held or how big they are. 10 million people marched all over the western world before the Iraq war. Political impact: zero.

The right is busy figuring out ways to influence the media ( I ask you; haven't they been successful at this?), and lobbying congress and state legislators, again, with great success.

Who's lobbying congress AGAINST the war? Answer: no one... least no one I know of. Result: the senate voted this week to renew funding for this blatantly immoral war by 100 to Zero.

Demos are fun, and possibly therapeutic; they don't affect public policy.

11. I disagree that demonstrations don't affect public policy

We're just not seeing enough of them in this country. Europe yes, but the United States, no.

If there were massive public demonstrations and peace marches, it would get their attention. Most of us are a little too complacent when it comes to showing our displeasure with this war in public. We do most of our protesting online, unfortunately.

12. Lots of "pro-life" marches every now and then...

Actually they are very organized with buses that have been coordinated by churches.

[mtnsnake]

13. True. Funny, though, how they'll march for that but

they're not so "pro-life" when it comes to our own soldiers dying in an unjust war for oil and re-election, or the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians & children.

[11cents]

14. They're too busy running everything and spitting on the world

...to march around in circles chanting "hey hey ho ho." Sad but true -- the left's ability to generate fruitless acts of self-expression is no substitute for actually wielding power.

[DeepModem Mom]

15. Not exactly a march, but they stopped the counting of votes in Florida....

in 2000. It was very effective, and a sickening, undemocratic display.

[libodem]

16. They picket abortion clinics

and harrass the patients who are trying to get to the door, with fetuses in jars. They rallied around the removal of the 10 commandments monument in a city park, here, and got arrested. And for some lame reason they can gather three families after church and call themselves a coalition, and be on the six o'clock news and the daily paper with every freedom limiting agenda the can dream up, ...for months.
