By attempting to block shipments of needed equipment from the Port of Olympia.

Pouring concrete on railroad tracks

The protesters, who clearly love the military so much, also used themselves and their children (in some cases) as human shields blocking trucks from moving into the Port area.

Why was no one arrested? I don't understand how you can pour concrete on railroad tracks and not be breaking some law???????

Yes. We can group everyone on the left with these idiots. I'm guessing all pro-lifers are doctor killers or clinic bombers? Or that everyone on the right thinks our President is wonderful or the Iraq mission was good, etc. Stereotype much?

I don't mind the left...well, the actually piss me off...but the fact that they are rooting for the Islamic Fundementalists abroad to "win", and therefore they can beat the same Christian "fundementalsists" at home and therefore win the presidency, makes me sick.

Religious extremism makes me sick, regardless of creed. I like Bush about as much as some of the Lefties do, but hell, hoping for failure over there in order to get votes is disgusting!

CSpin, i heard a rant on the radio that you might like, although i won't say where, as you will discount it.

"Liberal, Libertarian, Conservative" are blinders, as they group together issues and situations into a bundle, not as the individual issues they are.

Take me, i considermyself a conservative libertarian. On the loud issues that make no difference, like Gay Marriage, i don't care. I'm not gay, so i won't marry a man. Do i agree with gay marriage? (shrug) that doesn't affect me one way or the other, so why should i disagree.

But the left hates guns. Should the law abiding citizen be disallowed the right to keep and bear arms because drug gangs in cities shoot one another with stolen firearms? firearms that they did not acquire legally? I'm very "Constitutional" on that point.

Probably bad examples, but you get my drift. Consider it like the Seccession conventions, where Maryland and Kentucky, and Missouri didn't secede, but Tennessee did. As much as it sucks, you need to line up the 2 sides, and see which one you fall more towards

I'm not a member of the Left so I cannot say for sure. But I haven't seen anyone on the Left, say for some radical fringe elements like Rev Phelps, rooting for the Islamic fundamentalists to win. Maybe I'm not trolling the correct blogs or being in GA has me isolated but I just haven't seen that.

Outside of Muslims in this country who are radicals, I doubt anybody is rooting for the terrorists (though in this country, I could be wrong with some of the characters within our borders)

That is just a general way of the right-wing telling the left-wing to fall on their side or else you are part of the enemy since you don't share their views.

So the lack of coverage about attacks and civilian deaths in Iraq falling by 70% since July are simply because OJ robbed someone at gunpoint, and Britney Spears can't drive sober, more than the fact that the young non cowardly Americans are achieving gains over there? Abu Gharib and the supposed rapes and 'massacres' are on the news for weeks on end, got forbid, our boys do their job and do it well, and the New York Times finds a new bone to pick.

What does any of that have to do with people "hoping" the terrorists win? Everything you stated above show media bias but nothing shows that people want the terrorists to win in Iraq.

Well, when things were not going well, there was lots of "Total withdrawal" and "Not our war to fight" and "illegal war" rhetoric...now that things are going well, Billary and company have found new things to complain about, like endorsing a criminal to destroy what semblence of normalcy existed in NUCLEAR POWER Pakistan. Bush gets an F for this too, but the Leftist media is handing nukes to radical islam by hissying for Bhutto. Mark my Words.

Though I am sure many right-wing fans can help me with this, I believe the left-wing media bias is about reporting everything wrong with Iraq and not reporting anything good (such as the poster above talked about with the 70% decline in civilian deaths).

Iraq has a long, long, long way to go before we can look at the situation as acceptable.

Well, at least in my eyes.

Well I don't think Jtrain is making much of a leap in saying some are rooting for the other side to win. Just because no one comes out and blatantly admits it doesn't mean it isn't there.

In this country, you can find someone to root for just about anything as small as that group may be.

Wow. So you're saying feel free to assume? And we're going ahead and grouping an entire section of the political spectrum into thinking the same thing?

I think it's hillarious that the flipside of this is that people honestly believe that everyone on the 'Right' has been gung-ho pro-Bush, pro-invade Iraq even from the beginning. Many of the leaders and members of the 'Right' don't even agree with this policy any more.

And you'd (you in general and not specifically) be foolish to automatically assume that the reason for the number of deaths being on the decline are solely based on the surge and us 'getting the job done'. There are a number of factors on the ground that are contributing to this and most are not good things from the US' perspective.

I said "some", not an entire section. So you're assuming that people on the other side believe everyone on the "right" has been gung ho Bush?

Well considering he did not say "some". He used the phrase "the left". You said "no one" which is pretty all-enclusive grouping. There was no 'some' in that.

And your last sentence makes no sense whatsoever. That had nothing to do with anything I said.
