Different time, different names, different people—same place, same
station—it was stopped then, perhaps it will be stopped now.  I
do not look forward to a New World Order being in the best interest
of the majority population and it should be stalled as long as is
possible if at all possible.

The anti-war movement was also a victim of McCarthyism.  Plus, the media helped to defeat it.
The charge against it was that it was pro-Communist
at a time when that slur was the kiss of death.
And even when it stood up to those charges the good old media invariably portrayed it as a bunch of know-nothing “crazies.” In addition to all that, it was fundamentally middle class, not labor with no strong ties to unions or inter-racial groups. 

I know.  I was there.

Cindy Sheehan hasn’t given up on stopping the
wars, and 2/3rds of the population see
no need for these wars to continue, including
myself:

Maybe conservative, authoritarian autocrats will vote for Obama,
because he has followed the agenda of the Republican
conservative, authoritarian, autocrats, but for the life of me, I can
not see anything he has done for the benefit of the progressive,
liberal majority population.  I hope Sen. Bernie Sanders runs.

Mitt Romney doesn’t even know our country is in three wars, he
thinks the United States is at peace, like Marie Antoinette,———
Romney might as well throw in the towel:

And another thing—the anti-war movement failed to do what every other “liberal” organization has failed to do:  They had no idea how to dismantle and disempower the military-industrial complex, which employs tens of thousands of workers who otherwise would be out of a job.
  We can’t fault only the anti-war movement on this one, however, as it s gnarly problem linked to tremendous sources of political power who don’t want to dismantle it but would rather increase it.  Hence
future wars, ad infinitum.
  A country that makes its living out of killing is already half-dead. And both political parties are to blame because neither has proposed one single idea for how to “re-convert” to a peacetime economy.  It’s been so long since we had one that we’ve taken the wartime economy for granted.
  The reason we have wars is because we have a wartime economy, not the other way around. Who were those earnest people who invented “Jobs for Peace”
and made a run for it years ago?  But was it already too late?  Or can we still do it?  What’s missing?
What are we waiting for?

Should anyone be surprised at this? The recent anti-war
sentiment was not anti-war, it was anti-Bush.
