Every year when the G8 etc would meet, the press gave huge coverage to the over the topic antics of protesters.
Not so much this year.

“The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being.”- Bl. John Paul II

More food for thought:
“I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history.”

More food for thought…
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."- Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 176
Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."- Thomas Jefferson to Henry Lee, 1824. ME 16:73
Probably because the G8 meeting was in L’Aquila, which is still recovering from the earthquake earlier this year. Goofy protests in a region where so many were killed? Not good publicity.
Actually, I’m surprised that the summit wasn’t moved from L’Aquila after the earthquake. Must have been one tough building they held it in.
But I will be happy to stand corrected if someone has better information.
I’ll be living in Pittsburgh this autumn, and I’ve been assured that there will be some crazy protesters for the G20 summit.
The summit was to be held in Rome and was moved to L’Aquila AFTER the earthquake by Mr Berlusconi.
Those protesters are nearly always communist Starbucks window smashers. Since we now have a Marxist (unConstitutional, he has yet to produce a birth certificate) “president”, they won’t want to make him look bad.
I don’t expect anything from the MSM that would make anyone think that there is any hint of disunity among the masses with the Obammunist and his, ahem, “economic policies”.
Perhaps because Bush was not there…They all literally “hated” the man, and the media was more than happy to focus on that.
Good point father – quick search turns up one surprising source detailing thousands of protesters this year.
