“No blood for oil—U.S. off Iraqi soil!”

Shows the lack of intellect on the part of those who participated in this protest. Liberals have never been known for their critical thinking skills.

I think the Eagles had about 30,000 according to a Freeper Report.

I arrived at the corner of 20th and Constitution NW at 8:50am. The GOE meeting point. While waiting to cross the street, a high school group of about 70 students accompanied by their leftist teachers were walking to their meeting point at the Lincoln Memorial.

None of the kids looked happy but they were not scared, their leaders though were obvious in their discomfort.

They kept looking around like they expected to be attacked by the 100 or so members of Rolling Thunder, Free Republic, Gathering of Eagle Members, etc standing there on the corner.

"social event"

Pretty much what I suspected. Most of the males are probably on the make for sex and/or drugs. And they probably succeeded.

"UW students march on Pentagon with over 50,000 people "

Damn - where can I get the drugs they're on? I've heard of seeing double, but seeing 10x as many people? that's impressive.

As a rebuttal, I had the pleasure of having 7 or 8 students from the American Conservative Student Union by my side as we met the Moonbats head on with no barricades across from the Lincoln Memorial.

They were gloriously enthusiastic in their admonitions for the passing lefties. They took them on verbally and one on one, won the day with outstanding rhetoric.

I had to chide one of the most exhuberant who had a very hard time staying out of the street.

You're welcome.

It was a great time out there. Hopefully we can moblilize like that the next time these moonbats decide to march in DC.

I actually loved that article. I love it when old Vets threaten to shoot hippies and just the THREAT of it makes them pee their pants, LOL!

A whopping 51 of them, Eh? Don't let these idiots make you crazy. They're totally, absolutely, completely and positively impotent when it comes to "getting the troops out NOW!"

There's not a freaking thing they can do about it, lest they convince Congress to cut off all funding; and CongressCritters like their cushy jobs way too much to actually do that because they KNOW it'll cost them more than they're willing to gamble.

All but a handful voted to go to war; it's not like the President waived his Magic Wand and it just happened. They're on record. And those that voted against it (what; two or three of them?) are also impotent.

(I know you understand all this; just reminding you to Keep The Main Thing The Main Thing.) :)

I was proud to me there and capture some of the most breath taking moments with our veterans.

Here are a couple of pics. To see them all go to the link. I will have video up soon.

God Bless America.

Last time I checked fox news they said we out numbered the anti-war pansies 5 to 1.

Not too sure about actual numbers but I do know that we really did have them out numbered. It was great.

It only people in the dark about this are the MSM who insist on interpreting the demonstrations as an acute statement on the 'pulse of the nation'. Time to face the fact that the MSM has the straight skinny on absolutely NOTHING in the world. These 'journalists' are themselves the product of the same inane, mediocre and superficial educational system in which these students are incubating. Academic rigor has long since been dead and buried in America.

Count me in as number 3. I'm going to U Wisconsin (possibly), and I guarantee I won't be like the lot of commies at that protest. How I wish I could whip the campus into shape...It's a great school academic wise, and it's a pity it's infiltrated by liberal communist scum.

Good for you. I'll admit, I was a little more liberal back in my high school/early college days than I am now. However I was nowhere near the pinko-commie anti-Amreican type of liberal I see everywhere now. It just took a few years at a rabidly liberal school to get me to change my mind on a lot of issues.

I've seen that 30K number bandied about and just don't believe it. 30,000 is a little less than every seat at Fenway Park (37K) and the Eagles, while they outnumbered the weenies maybe 2X or 3X.....did not have 30K. Pics and videos I've seen show maybe 10-15K.

EVERYONE always bolsters their own numbers.

I'm just glad that, for the first time since I've been partaking in counter-protests over the past 6 years, the weenies were clearly outnumbered. Heck, in Boston, we're usually outnumbered 100-1000 to 1.

Mission accomplished....

Hmmm....that sounds like my favorite keyword. >:)
