Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.

Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.

Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.

Me too, Mike Pence was awesome. I wish there was a video of his speech. He was so good I want to send it to some others.

Interesting photo and camera angle.

This has to be a first:
The Resident is out of focus... and NO hallo.
The podium is tilted and the Resident is holding on to it as if he's trying to keep from falling, hanging on to it for his "dear" life.
It's obvious the focus is the crowd. Would the DC Tea Party be the cause of this? nah...LOL

Funny how the crowd is not looking at the mad man at the podium even though he's right in front of them.

Well, the porta potties we found had a long line to them. “) There were about 50 in each line. We stayed in that line until we used them, then when we started walking away from that area we found some more way down by the other scheduled events in the area. Some high stepping competition.

Happy Thanksgiving to the don-o family. And thanks to Ben for his service to our country.

[dervish]

God bless you all for going and making this event an enormous success.

[tina07]

yes I did, lol! I meant to include you since you had posted about the anti-Beck comment :)

Saw this snippet of ZerO chanting, he is sickening. Always the community organizer/campaigner. Not one ounce of Presidential material in him, zip, ZerO, NADA!!!!

Only what I posted. It’s no surprise they would exaggerate against the turnout, though. Keep in mind these are the same type of people who said Obumbler got a 14 point bounce after his speech Tues.

[panaxanax]

They’re watching a huge monitor that you and I paid dearly for.

[chessplayer]

Flipped the channel to see if CNN was covering it since they`ve been ignoring the ACORN thing. They were, and were trying to say all the protesters are racists, of course.

[bustinchops]

I can’t get any videos to work, as I said.

Can someone fill me in on what happened with CNN?

[DCPatriot]

LOL! Yes, I knew that.

BTW, there was a young black mother with her Asian husband pushing a stroller with 2 children in it...carrying a simple sign that read “No Obamacare!”....but I never thought to snap a picture.

I was looking for ‘different’ signs....not people of color.

[rodguy911]

Agreed, there were several but some just stand out.

[rodguy911]

I hope the Joker got an eyeful. It's just the beginning. We will not be socialized by a hidden commie agenda and their front man.

[rodguy911]

What we have to be concerned about are all the hidden agendas. All the small stuff they are pushing through everywhere, much of it by the tzars. Midnight legislation will haunt us from here on out.

Obamcare and cap and trade are too hard to hide,we will be all over that stuff. The hidden agendas are what we need to seek out and expose to the light of day where they will die their own swift deaths like acorn fraud etc.

[rodguy911]

Brilliant idea!!!
I seconded that one a couple of hundred posts ago,this image could easily become our poster child for the revolution to come.

[RetroSexual]

Yeah, I was very tired last night too. That's why it was such a pleasure to log on here and to see you were accusing me of lying, and now, being "dumb."

Have a nice trip home.

[GVnana]

TOTUS circuits scrambled?

[EmilyGeiger]

The cutout of Obama had a Pinnochio size nose attached to it. :) I got a picture of it. Later today I will attach my pictures that I took. There was also a lifesize Obama cutout outside a memorabilia store, there were several of us who took pictures with it having Obama hold our signs or American flags. :)

That interview was a SCREAM! The look on the CNN interviewer was priceless! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAyP6GAXylE

The comments associated with that clip show the frightening level of ignorance of many Americans. After reading them, I believe that education is the only way that we're going to set this country right. The big question is, "How?"

Republicans/Conservatives never took those strategic steps, such as education, necessary to advance the cause of liberty when they/we were in power.
