Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not

It's a nice thought, but I do wonder if it is anything more than a gesture. Wearing a certain color is one thing - marching in the streets to demand that the troops come home from BOTH unwinnable wars is quite another. I would think that the second option would be a lot more likely to make the point intended.

its too cold here to march in the streets

For my part, it ticks me off quite a lot to see a sea of brassy blood red every Friday of college football season here in the hometown of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and I make a point of *not* wearing red on those days. Nobody cares, though, because nobody notices that I'm trying to say something by avoiding a certain color on that day. If anyone does notice, they seem to assume it's an accident of wardrobe or that I just forgot. My suspicion is that nobody will much care about the blue-on-Friday movement for exactly the same reason - an accident of wardrobe that people happen to be wearing blue on the same day - and that any kind of political message will be completely lost.
