Cool!
You make some good points. One can only fill a given area with so many people. Crowd estimates for one thing always to seem disproportionate to what in reality show up.
Today I had a fellow marine Veteran suggest to me that the best thing to do is let them deface the wall.
His reasoning is that it will prove just how anti American these people really are, just like Piss Christ proved how anti Christian they are.
He could be right, but I for one don't want to find out if he is.
Do you?
well, we could always let 'em get to the wall, then close the x ambush on 'em.

Oooooops! Forgot to ping y'all to #307.

Ping to usmcobra's Post #306 and Justanobody's update at Post #307
I must admit, when I saw who I posted to, I did a little LOL! ;*)
"We are not a warlike people. Nor is our history filled with tales of aggressive adventures and imperialism, which might come as a shock to some of the placard painters in our modern demonstrations. The lesson of Vietnam, I think, should be that never again will young Americans be asked to fight and possibly die for a cause unless that cause is so meaningful that we, as a nation, pledge our full resources to achieve victory as quickly as possible." --Ronald Reagan (1974)
When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber. -- Winston Churchill
"To remain silent when they should protest makes cowards of men." -- Thomas Jefferson
This is what the LORD says to you: `Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. -- II Chronicles 20:15
"...who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? ... Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. ... all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORDs, and He will give you into our hands. -- from I Samuel 17

Justa - you are doing a great job keeping all the info together. Don't know if I'm included in the count, but I WILL be there!!!
Thanks for the thread. Hope to be there.
Now that is one inspiring painting. All happened in my neck of the woods, many many years ago. Valley Forge, Brandywine, Battle of Trenton, crossing of the Delaware. Such determination to throw of the yoke of misrepresented government. Gotta get ready to shovel the ice and snow, clean up car and head off to work. Gotta close the store at 11PM, assuming we will stay open till 10PM tonight. Have a great day.
Good Job PING!
AWESOME!!
