Anti what?

You know what is funny. How the media describes this "anti-sheehan" group. What the hell is that. Are they really an "anti-sheehan" group. Because if they are they are ludicrous. Sheehan is anti-war. So the other side should be pro-war right. No, because pro-war is just a little to nutso to support. So you have to attack the anti-war protesters. No pro-war protesters ever come out of the cracks until anti-war protesters do. It is because you can't be so gung-ho pro-war that you stage rallys. Doing that is insane. You just have to attack anti-war protesters. I'm not a protester, I hate that shit most of the time. I prefer other methods to get the job done. But those who want to call out or tell them anti-war protesting is wrong are crazy. Especially when I hear that line about their son or daughter is fighting for them to be able to protest. That line is the epitome of blind patriotic brainwashing. Lets not even sully the word patriotic with this one. That line is just pure ignorance. I don't think it was the army who gave blacks the right to vote in the 60's. Fuck we had to fight amongst ourselves to free slaves. Ralph Nader put seat belts in your car, not you local GI JOE. Lets give credit to the armed forces where it deserves it. Like natural disater aid. The Marshal Plan to rebuild europe. Helping to rebuild Japan after world war II. There have been dubious wars so that area is sticky. But lets not start thanking soldiers with guns for giving us freedom. The only soldiers with guns who helped us attain some freedom were revolutionary war dudes and civil war dudes. And that was after long protracted battles of words and politics. Not some 1-2-3 jump into war thing. Pathetic these people are.

Did you ever notice in school that they never teach pre-judeochristian history. You probably go over anciet egypt and mesopotamio because they were the first civilizations we know off. You go over ancient greeks in a philosophical sense. Rome because it fell so hard. But other than that we get nothing of history before the rise of judaism and christianity. There are more years before christ than there are after yet in our learning they leave out this huge chunk of human history. It is like they are telling us that there was nothing worth mentioning before judaism and christianity. That they along with islam and whatever other major religions there are were the first things in mankinds history. Frankly it is pathetic. And I never thought about this until recently. Watching a documentary on angels you see how the major religions of today are just ripoffs and rehashes of ancient philosophy, ancient religions and various forms of paganism that existed well before the major religions of today. The history that is taught from modern religious texts is not only stilted but rather incomplete, but this is where I think most people get their pre judeochristain history from. Pathetic. Maybe people wouldn't be inclined to buy into modern religion so gung-ho if they knew its true beginings and realize that it is a spec on the landscape of human history. It is an amalgam of thoughts that came way before they were codified into practice. Just as a point of clarification, when I say modern relgion I am talking about the time since the begining of judaism, christianity, islam, buddhism, hinduism, etc. I consider those as modern religions.
