Ahh Those Sinistras (Leftists)

As usual, I was on the bus today, coming home after my terrorism midterm so that I could work on my Islamism and nuclear weapons paper. While I was waiting at the bus stop for my connection to the North part of V-city, I heard some noise: it was an anti-Afghanistan campaign protest.

Led by a bald lady with a megaphone, the 15-person strong protest was quite amusing. They, obviously, were protesting the Cdn 'occupation' of Afghanistan. One person had a banner that said "drop tuition not bombs" (which, as a university student I find amusing. I go to one of the best universities in the country and tuition here is about $5000. If I had gone to Harvard, I'd be shelling out $30,000 for my tuition). Another person was holding a banner that said "I support the Afghan insurgency".

What I found amusing, in my own political science sort of way, was the inherent hypocrisy of the person with the insurgency banner. I'm sure he condemned the 9/11 bombings and the Taliban's repressive policies and would never think of saying that he supports al-Qaeda, but isn't that what his banner's doing? The Afghan insurgency is propogated by the Taliban and members of al-Qaeda. What an idiot.

What amused me even more was that lady with the megaphone couldn't even say Afghanistan properly. *shakes her head*. Get the name right woman and then tell the armed forces to leave.


One thing I realized today - extreme leftists - are such hypocrites.
