The magic 8-ball knows all
Oh Magic 8-ball, who is behind the anti-Iraq War resolution that appeared on more than 50 Town Meeting Day warnings across Vermont? Wouldn't the liberals be more happy if they just dealt with the present world as it is not live in a world as they THINK it ought to be.
Magic 8-Ball says: My answer - The ACLU
Read the full Times Argus article.
"The resolution is not without its detractors. John McClaughry, president of the Ethan Allen Institute, calls the resolution an attempt by anti-war activists to "hijack" Vermont's town meetings.
"I'm tired of fighting the election of 2004 all over again with the left wing screaming 'Bush lied' and finding ever new venues to raise that position," McClaughry said Monday. "We counted the votes. It's over. Let's move on. If they want to have a rally on the Statehouse lawn, fine. But I have a problem with the hijacking of town meeting to serve ulterior motives and that's what I see this as doing."
I'll say.
Anyway, as one thing leads to another, clicking my way around I've discovered that the Executive Director of the Vermont Network on Iraq Resolutions is also the Executive Director of American Friends Service Committee. In part their mission statement says:
The American Friends Service Committee is concerned with the world as it is and as it ought to be. Fundamental beliefs in the individual—seeing the Divine in each person—and in the need for peace and justice guide our activities. AFSC is dedicated to nonviolence: opposing both the overt violence of war and the covert violence that erodes the human spirit through deprivation and indifference. (emphasis is mine)
Bingo. The Magic 8-Ball is always right.
Which goes to show that the final evolution of liberalism is in essence fascism, Hen. Great post!!
