The Grand Marching Song of the 2003 Anti-War Protesters
By Dr. Steven Plaut


We are progressive, caring, socially advanced, egalitarian and
freedom-loving progressives. We really care about people. We think
peace is wonderful and war is evil. We are marching to prevent the
American imperialists from mistreating Iraqis. We oppose American
hegemony. We think George W. Bush is a mad cow boy. We love Palestinians
and want them to be free.
Here we present to you our Grand Marching Song. Set to John Philip Sousa.
All together:
We believe in enlightened government and progress.
And that is why we support Arab fascism.
We believe in peace.
And that is why we support all military aggression against Israel.
We believe in democracy.
And that is why we believe that Israel is the only country in the Middle
East that must be destroyed.
We believe in freedom.
And that is why we support Saddam Hussein and Hafez Assad, as well as
Yassir Arafat.
We believe in the freedom of speech and of the press.
And that is why we support the Palestinian Authority.
We believe in self-determination and self-definition for all.
But not for Jews.
We oppose violence.
And that is why we support Palestinian terror.
We believe in human dignity.
And that is why we applaud when Arabs blow up Jewish women and children.
We believe in human rights.
And for this reason we support Arab atrocities and think the US got its
comeupance from al-Qaida..
We believe in fraternity and the brotherhood of nations.
Which is why we have no problem with the fact that our Arab friends are
seeking to perpetrate genocide against Jews.
We believe in voting.
Which is why we applaud Libya, Sudan, Iran, and Iraq and demand that Israel
be destroyed.
We believe in freedom of movement and migration.
Except for Jews.
We favor equality.
As in Syria, Iraq and Libya.
We favor minority rights.
But not for Jews, Kurds, Southern Sudanese, Copts or any other politically
incorrect groups.
We believe in freedom.
But do not mind that slavery still exists in Sudan, Saudi Arabia and
elsewhere among Arabs.
We believe in a free press.
And so we support censorship by the PLO.
We believe in freedom to practice religion.
But only for Moslems.
We believe in affirmative action preferences for those
who suffered from past discrimination. But not for Jews.
We believe in progress and enlightenment.
And so we support Jihad and pogroms and genocide.
We believe in egalitarianism.
And so we support demands for ethnic cleansing of the Middle East to drive
out the Jews.
We love children and living things.
And this is why we applaud suicide bombers.
We hate it when people blame the victims.
Which is why all terrorism is the Jews' fault.
We believe in education.
As long as we never have to read any books.
We believe in multiculturalism.
As long as no one ever has to learn respect for the Jews or for Christians
or for the West or for Amerika.
We believe in progress.
And so we celebrate barbarism and savagery.
We believe in progress.
As long as Arab countries never are asked to progress beyond the 12th
century.
We believe in democracy.
But not for Arabs.
We believe in prosperity.
And that is why we support Arab feudalism and kleptocracy.
We believe in equal citizenship.
Just as long as Israel never conscripts its Arabs.
We believe in freedom of expression.
Which is why people who do not agree with us must be censored.
We believe the human rights of Arabs must be protected.
But not in Arab countries.
We are upset by illiteracy.
And that is why we practice it.
We believe in women's equality,
but not among Arabs.
We oppose torture,
Except when it is by the Palestinian Authority or similar progressive Arab
force.
