Even when it was reported in local media, downplay was the word of the day.
Although they didnt reach a goal of two million riders, thousands of bikers rolled through the Washington, D.C. area to mark the 12th anniversary of 9/11 on Wednesday.
The bikers riding with the group Two Million Bikers to D.C. snarled traffic on the Beltway with a ride honoring the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the members of the military called to serve after the attacks.
Many participating riders were veterans who said they rode to protect Americans freedom in the midst of tumultuous times.
The enemy has a say when the war is over, said rider Pete Raymond. I believe theyre saying its not, so were here.
On their Facebook page, in all caps, the group said they will stand by the Constitution and Bill of Rights, adding that theyre against any fundamental transformation of America.
Take this for what its worth, the DC Police, notorious for under reporting the numbers of conservative patriotic Americans that show up for rallies in DC, admitted that 1.2 million bikers showed up. These were hard working American citizens who took time off from their jobs to protest Muslims demonstrating on 9/11 in Mordor on the Potomac.
A Column stretching 55 miles long rode out of Los Angeles California, just let that sink in for a while That is a column of Bikers that stretches beyond horizon to horizon. That is a column, that even traveling at 60 miles per hour, would have taken more than an hour to pass any given point. That was JUST the bikers from Los Angeles California.
The Fifth Column Treasonous Media desperately hopes that the sentiment that drove millions of Americans to take a couple days off from work and ride into Mordor on the Potomac to protest Muslims demonstrating on what amounts to a sacred holy day in America, will both go unnoticed and not catch on. The truth is more to the effect that this Biker led protest represents a kind of barometric reading of the mood of America.
Traditionally, the average American is very slow and reluctant to protest. We are a gentle, peace loving and pragmatic people by nature. By the time our collective dander is up enough for us to start protesting, we are mighty pissed off. Yes, there are special interest group driven Americans who will protest pretty much anything at the drop of a hat, but they do not even remotely represent the average American.
You can pay attention to what millions upon millions of average middle class Americans riding into Mordor on the Potomac means, or, you can continue to keep your head up your ass and live in a delusional fantasy world, it is of course, your choice. However, make no mistake about it, reality is coming knocking.

The official page?
Not today.
I’ll go check.
Pick-up trucks unite!
I was sad to see that a couple bikers were killed on their way home and several more went down.
*Lots* of offers by people to let bikers hole up in their houses on their way back home.
Ain’t that America.
FB is the new version of Colonial broadsheets nailed to trees.
It’s a generally skeevy place that’s now serving unintended good purposes.
If O’s evil minions can use it to “fundamentally transform” the country, we can use to take it back.
Our town uses it to connect prayer chains. Last night a young man was lifelined to a large urban hospital for emergency brain surgery. His sis posted and asked for prayer. Within minutes individuals from around the county responded, offered prayer and many contacted their churches prayer chains!
Have seen more positive then negatives on FB
I love FB. When the tornadoes hit this area 2 years ago, it was how people found gas, evening dresses for proms, ice, lost pictures and animals. We did not have power for a week so I would charge my iPhone in the car. All of my friends/family are conservatives. Had 2 liberal friends for a while but not anymore. One told me she would unfriend me if I did not stop making critical remarks about Nobama but I didn’t so she did. They can not stand for others to have an opposing view about anything.
That is just *wonderful*!
Thank you for sharing....:)
Wow. When was this rally?
Kinda supports the theory of everything being but a neutral tool.
How we use it makes it “good” or “bad”.
If TSHTF, I would be doing exactly what you did, via iPhone.
9/11.
I really damaged my eyes that week reading that small print on the iPhone. Some people like my daughter had generators. We were very blessed that a local radio station went to full time storm coverage for that week. They had a page on FB where people could leave helpful messages. I had a small radio which I listened to for a few minutes every hour. I have never seen so many people come together to help others. All the traffic lights were out since the storm took out all 8 substations or whatever they are called which bring power to the area.. People took turns going through intersections. There was a curfew from dusk-dawn which helped police and emergency crews. It was back to normal when power was restored. People had to slow down for that week.
I *know*.
iPhone text is puny.
I thought about the Samsung dealy until I met a lady who was showing me photos of her Dobe and then her ginormous phone rang.
She stood in PetCo looking like she was talking into a brick.
I just can’t see doing that.
Plus, I’m an appaholic and would miss them all...:)
This is why I say when the revolution starts, the first casualty MUST be the liberal lamestream media. Only then will the TRUTH get out!
Yup. I can't even pull off the road for 5 minutes to take a call without someone stopping.
Kinda cool, really.
It is very cool....:)
The should have carried pitchforks and torches.
And done it at night.
With the handguns that were under the vests, moved to the outside of the vests.
Maybe that would have gotten their attention.
Perhaps for the 3 million biker ride the next time.
Is that the permit request that didn’t exist, except that it did?
