Pro-life group dropped from list of partners for inauguration protest march | Fox News

Sad, just sad...
And they just took that lying down?

Guess it didn't mean that much to them after all.

BTW, as I thought, there were pro-lifers marching.

Not true. I've brought the subject up several other times. Usually when lefties ignorantly try to claim that anyone who objects to Muslim cultural behavior is a bigot/xenophobe. Sorry, calling me names that don't even apply will never get me to support the execution of gays or female genital mutilation, etc. But the left can endorse those if they wish, so as to not be a bigot/xenophobe don't you know.

The point is that I didn't selfishly spend money on myself to participate in a narcissistic self-indulgent temper tantrum march that not only didn't help women and children in need, it served to increase mega-corporations' profits (transportation, hotels, restaurants, etc.). I donate to programs and services that provide help for women and children in critical need, instead.

Id say there were all sorts in these protests, some mean well , some dont have a clue why their actually there except to wear a daft ugly hat.. some dont have anything else to do that day..and the ones trailing kids with them are the worst.. why make a child have to carry out what your feelings are towards Trump or any issue.. that cant be right surely. especially with any violence being carried out or certain celebs talking filth and swearing. Some just like protesting for any reason..

As for Madonna...she is a fool. I thought her "F--- You " speech and saying she thought about blowing up the White House was just stupid. Do I really think she wants to blow up the white house? No, but her speech feels like one she has done many times before.
Females (I wont call them women) who talk about menstrual blood and unzipping men's pants ON A PUBLIC STAGE dont deserve a moment of thought. There's a reason Ashley Judd's speech isnt getting main stream play .. well two reasons ... it is BAD for the cause and they simply cant play it over public airwaves.

she's a disgusting person.

You demonstrate a good point. There are always people don't understand or don't agree or can't relate with the point of a protest. That's fine.

But rather than saying I disagree or I don't understand, they instead dismiss the effort as invalid or of no meaning or value just because it has no meaning or value to them, or they question the intelligence of the participants.

The DNC played these women like fools.
No one got marching orders from the DNC.
You give it way too much credit.

The only part that the DNC played in this effort was being responsible for Trump being elected.

First of all those marches occurred before the era of social media and Youtube. Marches were about the only way of communicating. Second of all Martin Luther King was not known for attacking and breaking store windows. Many more marches thees days involve bad behavior.

But talking about grabbing women by the genitals against their will is just fine. Yep, you have no problem with that disgusting person whatsoever, right?
