I don't see how people continuing to voice their preference for peace has anything to do with if they respect the armed forces. There is just no correlation.

People are continuing to gather for peace to make their voices heard across the world. They are saying "we did not support this from the beginning, and now that it has started we still oppose it." No one thinks it will end the war. Many people have gathered here in NZ at peace gatherings. It is a place for everyone to gather and reflect on the reality of war. It is a somber occasion, where no one discusses politics, but gathers to find strength with other people. Why is that so threatening to people?

I don't think there is any excuse for the way liberal celebrities are being treated. It's a rude and immature way of trying to silence them and making them fall into line. No one is doing this to conservative celebrities. It is wrong to use your power to silence others, even if you want to call it freedom of speech or expression.

I like how suddenly everyone is compelled to "respect the position and authority of the Presidential office" nowadays, but in the Clinton years everyone was free to call the president a rapist, a sex addict, a murderer and God knows what else.

It's just hypocrisy.
