We're going to get the troops back, and we're going to get George Bush impeached this year.
We're committed to keep going until our troops are brought home, and after that, to make sure this never happens again for the young people who are here, for our unborn grandchildren and born grandchildren,
The opposite of good is not evil; it's apathy.
Go to a nearby military cemetery and look at the American flags stuck on each grave and think of the person buried there who was killed for global domination or for the blunders and egomania of our leadership. And remember, for every person buried there, 10 more loved that person and were shattered by the loss. Instead of saluting, softly say: 'I'm sorry.' ... We need to make Memorial Day a relic of the past.
We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled. The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached.
I'm just so honored that the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno
Let's push the Pentagon off the fiscal cliff.
The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush.
I have been known for some time as a person who speaks the truth and speaks it strongly. I have always called a liar a liar and a hypocrite a hypocrite.
I'm working class, my family was working class, and we have struggled the same way our neighbors here in San Francisco have struggled.
Loyalty to the true, core values and roots of democracy is what makes a true patriot, not loyalty to a symbol of the country.
I'm a socialist, and I'm not going to be ashamed to say it!
Many people in San Francisco know me, and they know my persistence.
We are here ... to show our government, to show our media, to show America that we mean business, and we're not going home until every last one of our troops is home.
