In the past there were protests in Washington that truly stood for something; fighting against the injustice African American’s dealt with during segregation, a woman’s right to suffrage/the vote, defending the right to life of the unborn etc contrast that with yesterday’s protest. A protest against a duly elected President of the United States who has only been in office for one day and hasn’t even addressed any of the “concerns” of these protesters. It was more of a big get together of leftist causes then a movement to change anything. The biggest issue that appeared to unite them was to protect the right of a woman to kill an unborn baby. Compare and contrast that with the issues of yesteryear which dealt with the basic human rights and dignity of our citizens and you’ll understand why I consider this the largest silly protest in history.
