I'll put it to you this way. Here is my beef with Brandywine Peace Community. They operate on a double standard. Most Liberal groups do.
The two specific things that BPC protests the most in addition to war is 1. The use of drones 2. Lockeed Martin Corp. They make a big deal out of this. They do very open and public demonstrations in front of the offices of congressmen and Lockheed Martin.
Yet, the main number one person responsible for the use of drones and our military for the past 6 years has been Barack Obama. In fact, the use of drones has INCREASED under Obama's watch. The President, The Commander in Chief, the number one guy who runs the Pentagon and military gets scant mention at BPC protests. BPC will protest all day long in from of a Congressman's office. They will protest a private corporation like Lockheed Martin. Obama gets very little, or only passing mention from this group. Nowhere near the attachment BPC gave to George Bush, Curt Weldon, or John McCain.
When I start to see BPC attach the use of drones directly and specifically to Barack Obama, and I mean in a BIG way! The man who is the most responsible for the use of drones. The same way BPC attached war to GWB and John McCain? Then, I might start to listen to what they have to say. Right now, I think they are just a bunch of people who are blowing hot air and lip service.
Seriously! If BPC is going to go as far to demonstrate at Lockheed Martin Corp. and get arrested for trespassing. Should they not protest Barack Obama the same way? Sure! Lockheed Martin manufactures drones. Should not the Commander in Chief who USES the drones be held accountable? After all, there would be no market for drones if Obama wasn't using them so much.
When is BPC going to start attaching the use of drones DIRECTLY and PRIMARILY to Barack Obama?

I just recently found some more info relevant to the discussion. One of the biggest protests of BPC is Lockheed Martin. FYI Lockheed Martin donates about 26 Million a year to charity. Half of which goes to education. Lockheed Martin also has a woman for a CEO. Isn't this a "war on women"?
Also, BPC wants to close Club Gitmo. How is that working out?
In addition, one of the two co-founders of BPC (Robert Smith) was a draft dodger during the Viet Nam War.
Now we know why Obama has such a hard time figuring out how to deal with ISIS and defending this country. You can see who his voting base is.

Based on what Democrats have been saying, I just assumed it was a TEA party rally.
