A Gathering of Eagles (Malkin)
Columbia City Journal ^ | 3-7-07 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 03/09/2007 7:26:54 AM PST by AliVeritas

How many times have you sat in front of the television over the last four years, watching anti-war activists march on Washington, chase the ROTC off your local college campus, vandalize war memorials, insult the troops and wreak havoc under the surrender banner? How many times have you thought to yourself: What can I do?

Here is the answer: Get off the sofa and join the Gathering of Eagles on March 17 in Washington, D.C. On that day, well-funded, celebrity-studded anti-war groups plan to march to the Pentagon on a protest route that will take them past the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and climax in calls for immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iraq, destruction of America’s “global military machine,” shutdown of the enemy combatant detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay and impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney (plus an end to “colonial occupation” in “Palestine, Haiti and everywhere” for good measure).

Last time the left-wing, peace-loving fun bunch came to town, their minions gone wild threw rocks at a military recruitment office in D.C’s Dupont Circle neighborhood and at a local Fox News van, broke through a Capitol Hill police security cordon, spray painted the Capitol Grounds with impunity, desecrated the Lone Sailor statue that stands watch at the U.S. Navy Memorial and reportedly spat at disabled Iraq war veteran Josh Sparling as he voiced his support for his fellow troops.

I plan on being there and I hope that as many hard faced old men as possible show up. I will not be looking for trouble but, like my friends enshrined in that black granite, I will not run.

To: AliVeritas
THANK YOU Michelle for the great article ( I still have to mail you your hat! if you read this)

And Thank you especially AliVeritas for the post! But know what all you OTHERS here?

We all LOOK now at what was accomplished- to each other and out loud.

But we are also NOT "doing" anything--Not Taking any Actions on "Anything" ;Politically, involvement in clubs- ACTIVE and action WISE as they say.

First it was other issues years ago- like the Abortion Loss we suffered-then all the Democrat Shinnanigans we have Let Them Get Away With; like Berger’s Crimes! now it it the Troop-Funding battle-next it will be Attacks against the Freedoms that Radio brings to us all! HAVE the Conservatives THEMSELVES slowly turned into a Group of those that will spend it's time Blogging away--spending Valuable, Precious, Limited Personal Time Blogging, jumping site to site, or Laughing at Radio Parodies and Jokes?

While those :

--that would defile our NATIONS' MONUMENTS ;that were erected for Those who have DIED for this country; you and I and OUR Freedoms!- go really as Un-Checked, UN-Challenged as much as they did and SHOULD NOT have been this last month in DC?? (Kristin FR, Right March and others Busted their Collective BUNS to accomplish that Rally in DC!!- and even though many came--MUCH MORE SHOULD have gone considering the WAY-IN-Advance WARNING/Notice everyone was given!--NO excuse!

--While those very Anti-American, Anti-Troop LIBERALS are out there Already Planning every phase of their attacks to be launched for 08's elections.

---That could it be that maybe even be OUR OWN NEIGHBORS- have their very HOUSES/ HOMES taken right out from under them! Through to the NON-OPPOSITION, NON-Writing/complaining/Rallying to Our Own Respective POLITICIANS concerning the Socialist & Communist " SEIZURE thru EMMINENT DOMAIN Laws that were PUSHED THROUGH Towns/villages and states! ...or

--while Those out there--who normally read such Conservative sites--such as this Great Conservative site here-FREE REPUBLIC- think that by Merely READING or " Sending their Donations in " To such sites ENDS ALL THEIR OWN PERSONAL "Involvelment" concerning participating in the process to ensure all our Freedoms STAY "Free" for ALL!?

I am turning into an " Old Crank " as they say.

But when I Turn on the news--or scan my local papers- I do NOT see "Conservatives" out in the street campaigning, marching in Info-Rallies, or even doing at LEAST even 1/10th that of what Those who would love the Down Fall of America are out there "doing"!

WE ( The Grass-Roots Conservatives ) like all of us out here- have let it gone on FAR TOO LONG un-opposed; all the actions and battle WON by the left ; while issues like abortion--FREE CONDOMS- planned discrimination, and the Libby Case goes UN-supported by us- and Anti-VICTORY, Anti-Troop, and Anti-AMERICAN groups and agendas go UN-Opposed out there. Our ENEMIES have WON the Information Battle already.

But we have the Time to sit and laugh at comedy- saying to oursleves when we ARE woken up a little to the serious challenges and threats TO Our very Democratic-Constituion run Nation, that , " ... would we really ever let "things" get THAT FAR out of our control!??.."

They have--and we still have the time to laugh...

But wait til NEXT year--when we slowly wake up and find :---- RADIO BEING "Federally Controled"- --- just like how :

a)--our BOARDERS WENT Un-protected all these years-

b)--like how how RIGHT to own PROPERTY has been seriously harmed through that Eminent Domain (POLICE-STATE Enforced-Socialist LAWS that got Through somehow BEHIND our backs!

c)--like how it is IMPOSSIBLE for an Individual to go up against agencies like the IRS or THEIR Judgements!

And while you all give NO VOCAL Support to the ONLY person-President Bush- who is willing to stand UP to keep some of your Rights! (Mistakes made and not made-he STILL is our president.)

And while also no-one is writing in to the White House DEMANDING much stronger ACTION from those who are suppose to be OUT THERE giving it to us!- Like ROVE! and the RNC in general!- we are all just silently sitting back watching as our liberties and rights slowly , and without even a whimper- get whipped away!

Like I said--we will all JOKE NOW about Imus and others- while steps are being taken RIGHT NOW by those Anti-Free Speech! "Information-Controling Liberals and Sopcialists to CLAIN even the very AIR-WAVES as under their control-through legislation and bills that WE-The general Public-Are not even made AWARE of! Like the so-called and mis-named " Fairness-Doctrine" laws trying to silently be pushed thru by Schummer and Schrillary!

Compounding all this this is that the 1) MEDIA--and the 2)Educational Channels of information/control-SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, BOOKS, PROFESSORS, NEWS MAGS , CAMPUS Clubs, are 99.99% under Liberal-democrat party CONTROL!--making ANY Efforts by Us to Inform/Campaign this year a Million times harder than last year!

And on top of all this--and the Liberal ownership of all Hollywood exposure using all their Assets to get the Liberal/Democrat party Message of Lies OUT! we also have a GROWING Population of Politically/World Event Knowledgable ILLITERATE, IGNORANT people OUT THERE- That get their NEWS from ROSIE, Howard Stern, the Comedy Channel, rather than take the time to research On Line important information!

So...Okay!!..everyone is saying, " So WHAT Big Mouth!! Then you tell US what exactly we all should be "doing"!!!"

Well--starting at Listening and also importantly READING everything AT Rush Limbaugh's site is a Very Great beginning- also expanding our knowledge base by reading National review, News max, Opinion Journal- and any and ALL Important- factual CONSERVATIVE Sites rather than ANYTHING ELSE we are watching/reading/listening.

And Secondly--most IMPORTANTLY is for everyone here at least and then every other CONSERVATIVE that YOU Folks can talk too to about what Conservatives SHOULD Be doing before 08 ? is :

Either FIND--SEARCH OUT_-or Go START YOURSELF and get Others you know in your existing clubs/orgs- to START a

" DRIVE FOR 08'! Prepared for the ELECTIONS! " Organization/527/ PAC right NOW!!

We Conservatives ALREADY have so MUCH stacked against us BY the Liberals and Their Great working machines that have been Blocking our efforts of getting the FACTS and REAL STORIES out there to AMERICA!, that we

Have to start YESTERDAY! when it comes to planning and forming our own DOOR TO DOOR neighborhood clubs!

LET's US Conservatives ALL SEE the very Same EFFORT and PUSH and DRIVE towards getting GRASS ROOTS CONSERVATIVE CLUBS Organized and AS ACTIVE as I have seen all of you get ACTIVE! and INSPIRED! and MOTIVATED! to go to FREEDOM CONCERTS and "Book Signings"!!

I believe actually that it will Only be through Door-to Door Campaigning the next months- that Conservatives have ANY Chances of Competing with the LONG-ESTABLISHED Liberal Attack Machines (and of this I know of first hand--I live in NEW YORK)

This Summer I get one of my Last operations--I moved it up so as to make sure that I will be around for every week and every effort I can make for an 08' ending being a Conservative Win! So "I" will be OUT THERE!

Where will YOU be? Will YOU become a " Last Horseman" too?

Thank you for the time in reading my letter- you will probably be SICK the next few weeks , from seeing it posted everywhere on lione where Conservatives or the concerned might go!

Darth AirBorne; Founder of " The Last Horseman "
