"I counted two American flags in that whole crowd there, but a million yellow signs (how appropriate)--if the rest of the crowd was like that, how can they truly call themselves Americans and troop-supporters?? :-("


...ah...there you GO....trying to "make sense" out of it.


Welcome to the mind of the TRULY deranged and forlorn.

I like how they'll shout epithets at the people who made it POSSIBLE for them to 'demonstrate'...but the LOT of them couldn't hold off an enemy attack for THREE MINUTES...and THAT's counting the time it would take to climb over their bodies....!!!


sheesh.

Good observation, Bert. I wouldn't have thought about permit areas and such. I suppose being a dinosaur and all that, I never really gave a thought to permits. I don't think we needed those to express our opinion when I was young. Maybe I just don't remember. Either way, it's a shame. Lose your freedom or lose your mind. At least when I acted up when I was younger, I knew I was putting my backside at risk. Now you never know.

As for the Times, I just thought it it was so stupid of them to quote those numbers. They could just as well have said "There were several counter-protesters spotted at the coffee stand near the moon-bat encampment." Or, "We did observe a single counter-protester coming out of the Porta-Potty." Whatever. Hey, it's the honest truth :) Keep your eyes shut and you won't see or feel a thing. (Until it hits you.)

I will be going to DC for Memorial Day. I dont think the lefties will want to show up in force on that day.

Rolling Thunder seems to be a type of garlic, to that bred of vampire.

Family in Colorado have said Californians are moving in to escape high taxes, traffic etc--and are trying to turn it into California!

..right.


We had "Don't Californicate Colorado" bumper stickers back in the 80's....!!!

More recently...seen in Vail...

"If you heart NY, take I-70 East"

Didn't meet any of the main DC freepers there but saw them on the podium for the rally. Estimates are saying 30,000 vets there and about 5-10,000 anti-protesters but all of the news sources that my daughter taped for me at home are not saying or showing any of that. The MSM is despicable as we know but their total neglect to show the American viewing public the truth about what "Americans want" is treasonous. Wish you could have joined us ... maybe at Gathering of Eagles II?

JB, in that second video you linked... the Commie rat-bastard is none other than Eric Anderson (aka "Squeegee"), of DAWN-DC and Code Pink DC.

Those of us in the DC Chapter are very familiar with him; he is a regular blood-dancer at Walter Reed on Friday nights. Eric Anderson goes on protests at the private homes of administration officials (Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and more?). He likes to cause confrontations.

Eric Anderson also has tangled at WRAMC with Ted Sampley, of Rolling Thunder. Eric likes to start trouble and then he gets on his telephone and calls the police to get rescued from the fights he starts.

I think Eric is attracted to big guys in leather.

And he's rebuffed yet again.

I will forever regret that I was not able to join this historic event.

It's like Woodstock in that one will never be able to re-enact this kind of thing.

God Bless You Patriots who Stood for us all.

Wow...I cried over Lizzie Palmer's video.

I wish that could be shown in classrooms. Unforutnately, YouTube won't get past the classroom filters.

Hah! I knew I recognized that "Ichabod Crane" figure that was trailing at the end of the "Peace Prance" towards the bridge. I yelled "Squeegie!" several times but he ignored me.

Here's an excellent first-person account of the rally that I've posted as its own thread.

I find it significant that the prominent color on the enemy's side of the street is YELLOW...
