This is the opposite of Bill Clinton's parade
where they were out waving and walking with cheering crows on either sides. Does this sort of look like the sort of parade you'd see in. . .some other nation?

1. No, this perfectly fits the new America.
I'm just surprised they haven't taken a flame-thrower to the protesters yet. I guess you have to save something for Jeb's inuagural in 2008.

5. Well, we were not at war for one thing.
Just makes since when you are at war you do not offer a choice shot at the Commander in Chief.

Some wars may be necessary but this one sure isn't.

14. Uh, yeah,
that's their excuse for all of this crap.

Yes, of course he fears for his life. Because he is the most hated man on earth right now. A lofty and fearful place I would guess.

10. I was watching it the other day
remembering the good old days. I got up to the point where Ben Nighthorse Campbell was riding up the street in full regalia.

There were so many smiling and happy people then. It is so different now.

11. I was thinking that, too.
On Bill Clinton's parade day, DC sidewalks and subways were full of shiny happy people.

This thing today looks more like a funeral.

I hope the rest of the world heard all the boos I was hearing on Cspan so they know we aren't all warmongers.
