10:25 AM

Short TBA from Kfir Alfia of ProtestWarrior.com Watch America 's rowdiest young filmmakers as they take to the streets against the lunatic left! See how un-peaceful ‘peace' marchers can be! Visit the Protest Warriors here.

From www.msnbc.msn.com:

...The Warriors organize rallies, street theater and marches. They carry video cameras to record their own version of events to bypass mainstream media outlets. And, of course, the members hold plenty of signs and slogans, which read like editorial cartoons from the National Review: PROTECT ISLAMIC PROPERTY RIGHTS AGAINST WESTERN IMPERIALISM declares a sign over a picture of a Muslim woman in a burqa with a leash around her neck tied to a pole. EXCEPT FOR ENDING SLAVERY, FASCISM, AND COMMUNISM, WAR HAS NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING, says another. The most provocative, perhaps, is a picture of a Palestinian woman with a T shirt on her burqa saying MY SON SUICIDE-BOMBED A BUS FULL OF ISRAELIS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT; the small print underneath reads AND $25,000 FROM SADDAM. Alfia, who designed network chips for a Silicon Valley start-up before devoting himself full time to the group at its Austin, Texas, headquarters, founded it in March 2003 with his childhood friend Alan Lipton. According to Alfia, the organization is funded by merchandise sales from the Web site, the occasional $50 donation and out of “our own pocket.” So far, there are about 7,200 Protest Warriors across the United States. They've pulled off close to 80 missions to date, including Operation Bias Check (they snuck signs behind Matt Lauer’s head during NBC’s "Today" show that said: DON’T BELIEVE THE LIBERAL MEDIA) and Operation Eagle Strike, where the protesters crashed an antiwar demonstration hosted by the radical group ANSWER. This month, the Warriors are gearing up to greet the left on the streets of New York. NEWSWEEK’s Michael Hastings spoke to Alfia to get the battle plan for the Big Apple.

NEWSWEEK : What are your plans for New York? Are you going to be out with the other protesters on the West Side Highway?
Kfir Alfia: We’re going to do our standard march infiltration. We’re not there to drown their ideas out, or prevent them from expressing their message. We want them to express their message. The louder they express it, the more their agenda is going to be discounted. We are there to provide a countermessage, and to document their reaction to a different point of view. We do have other plans, but we’re keeping them close to our vests...

EVENT 8
9:00 PM	Ronald Reagan Tribute
9:15 PM- 11:00 PM	Special Screening of Ronald Reagan classic Desperate Journey (1942) Ronald Reagan and Errol Flynn battle the Nazis in this rousing World War II classic! The kind of movie Hollywood made when it supported a war effort. Rare Library of Congress print.

From, www.errolflynn.net/Filmography:

Desperate Journey

If you're looking for a rip roaring adventure with brave fighting men and lots of bad guys, then this movie's for you. This adrenaline-pumping piece of propaganda directed by Raoul Walsh with music by Max Steiner is guaranteed to Please!

An international crew on a bombing run for the RAF crash behind enemy lines. They escape their Nazi captors and make their way west by whatever means possible. Our heroes leave in their wake a path of destruction as they make their way back to allied territory, much to the frustration of the pursuing Germans. Their vitality appears unlimited, and even in the end they seem ready to hit the Pacific after a quick mend and a hearty steak dinner.

No, the movie certainly isn't dull. The likelihood of such a pursuit going even half the distance is a bit far-fetched, but that's okay. Watching such a small group of individuals cause so much damage can be great fun, particulary in wartime when it was first released.

The supporting cast was already familiar to Flynn fans: Alan Hale & Ronald Reagan are the Americans of the unit, and Arthur Kennedy (who was with the good guys this time around following his role as Sharp in THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON) is the token Canadian. Raymond Massey gets to play the bad guy once more, sputtering Major Baumeister. Add a pretty girl to represent the civilians in those softer moments (Nancy Coleman), and you've got a little something for everyone.

One of the nicer touches of this film is the realistic use of language. German is spoken when it should be and English likewise; either you and the characters in the scene understand what is said or you don't (and those of us unfamiliar with German often catch the gist just the same). That the language barrier serves as an advantage to some and a disadvantage to others is one of the things that make the movie particularly interesting.

During the filming of DESPERATE JOURNEY, Errol Flynn - who had by then become a US citizen - attempted to enlist in the military. He was given not only a 4F rating as when he tried to sign on with the UK as did his British friends during the late 1930s, but was diagnosed with tuberculosis and a bad heart. He even used his acquaintance with Eleanor Roosevelt to bend the rules a little but to no avail. And it didn't help matters when his ill health was covered up while the press and his public criticised the star for playing hero in the movies rather than do his part in real life.

DESPERATE JOURNEY is the first of two films in which Errol Flynn actually plays an Australian, which is what he was (Warner PR spread the word that Flynn was Irish in an effort to tone down a wild history. Then again, nobody has yet to either confirm or deny whether he was in fact the inspiration for their Looney Tunes' cartoon creation The Tasmanian Devil [aka Taz]). It is amusing to watch Flynn try to effect a mild Aussie inflection in places, but he eventually gives up and sounds like he usually does.

Desperate Journey is available from MGM/UA Home Video and the perfect thing to watch on a rainy afternoon. Or anytime for that matter!

Errol Flynn, Alan Hale, & Ronald Reagan.

When using any driving directions or map, it's a good idea to do a reality check and make sure the road still exists, watch out for construction, and follow all traffic safety precautions. This is only to be used as an aid in planning.

Not sure that Ann Coulter will be there LIVE...

...but there WILL be a VERY POSITIVE forty-five minute documentary about her.

BTTT

& there's nothing michael moore can do about it.

I love it! Good job, Ron.

[MeekOneGOP]

Okay, okay! You twisted my arm.
Here is the one and only, the .....

Lovely Ann Coulter

[BC21]

I just got my ticktets to this event.
I did not buy the Full Festival Pass because I'll be driving there from Garden Grove and do not want to be gone from 7:30am to midnight.
I'm going to these events: 1A, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 11.
I am probably going to go by myself at this point. A friend of mine may go, but he's busy with school so he is unsure at this point.
If any Freepers would like to meet, or if there already is a meeting of others I do not know about, please contact me and keep me informed.

[abigail2]

Thanks for the ping RonDog...This will be a Hollywood event to remember!
