ROFL !!! Love your Poor Susan Shine poem!
Only as great as my fellow Freepers.
I had best hold on to the day job :)
According to the commie hoards underground, there were TENS OF THOUSANDS of them there, all sweet and peaceful like. (I LMAO when I saw a "make love, not war" sign. How original.) They also report that the war mongers "spit" on them.
C-SPAN: Communist Spin, Prevarication, and Nonsense.
Thanks for sharing your pics and for being there!
"They also report that the war mongers "spit" on them."
....."SPIT"....???
That's GOT to be a misspelling....
Why thank you very much.
I was surprised Susan was from Boone, NC. Lots of good people in Boone.
Well they say "If you tell a lie often enough."
They oughtta call it See Spam. That's all it is, anyway.
LOL. If only!
They're funny.
And like everything else they spout, wrong. I'm convinced that they are incapable of telling the truth in anything.
Your map was interesting in that it does not represent at all what took place. I would think the police will have a major after action ass kicking because they were not in control The GOE crowd was too large and spread out to be mangeable. They did not color within the lines.
The Moonbats were pretty much contained in their ghetto, but the GEO folks were continuous all the way down Constitution Avenue from about 19th street to the 21 st street. Down in that region, all the interior walkways toward the Vietnam Wall and the Lincoln Memorial were crammed and slow as the two way stream was greater than the paths could carry.
I watched the process to understand the dynamics. The GOE types came singly and in pairs and in recognizable groups of 10 or 12. They milled about and seemingly did not know where to go except following the military adage of riding toward the gunfire, they gravitated towards the spaces around the ghetto.
It can not be understated that a primary, if not the primary goal, was to visit the wall. There were at least three very long lines several people wide waiting to pass the electronic machines to enter the wall area. The screening was intense. It apppeared the actual number at the wall was being controlled because the number there was exceedded many, many time by the number patiently waiting. This was a very important event by its self because waiting meant getting aquainted with others near by in the lines. The waiting in very long lines on the cold windy morning will be the stuff stories are made of.
When I read accounts of how many were there I laugh because there is no way to make a decent estimate of all the people moving fluidly on all the sidewalks and interior walkways. There were as many or more people moving on these several walkways as in the stationary designated gathering points.
Having attended one or two other moonbat parades where we were truly outnumbered by a very very large margin, I was flabbergasted at the GOE turnout. Awesome is not a term I use, but the Gathering of Eagles was AWRSOME.
I noted above that it seemesd as if people did not know where to go or perhaps what to do. The fact is, it didn't matter. It was cold, but it was sunny and nice. It didn't matter where they went because they were there in a massive show of bodies dedicated to sending a message and it was obvious beyond any doubt they were suceeding.
The opportunity to gather with buddies and other groups of like minded knots of people may be with out precedent. The opportuntity to put on the stuff, the black leathers or camo adorned with riotus color of patches and medals and insignia, and to see thousands of others similarly dressed must be an important life time event. This is especiallly true when the individuals in the mass can vocally vent against the miserable yellow sign carrying moonbats.
It is dangerous to overestimate the significance of one day's events, but today may have been a tipping point. Thousands came out on a blustery day, probably for the very first time, to protest the antiwar types. They had a very good time. They met plenty of likeminded souls. They waved flags, they prayed, they cried.
Next year? Wouldn't missit....... that will be the thoughts in thousands of minds.
I am standing up a cheering!!!!
Am I correct that you spoke at last September's Freerepublic rally to 'Support the Troops and Their Mission'?
Your assumption is correct. Liberalism truly is a disease. They can't tell reality from fantasy, and as Kevin said, they tell the same lies over and over and over until they believe it to be truth.
There is, however, a cure for SOME. I myself was saved from the disease this way. You have to open your eyes to make it work, though.
