Mine too. When I first saw that photo enlarged, it sent chills up my back, LOL.
All those flags--that is a beautiful sight! :*)
Gives me hope for America's future!
Wooooo hoooo!!! Great picture - thanks! God bless our Eagles!
Gathering of Eagles Press Conference at the National Press Club with our own Kristinn, describing the anti-American's plans for this rally and their history, with scenes from ANSWER at rallies, and their obnoxious leaders.
It starts out with a live traffic report, but just wait that out.

3:14 ..... Getting down to the meat of things now .... An anti-war spokeswoman is at the mic ...... someone's step-mother ..... Melida Arredondo .... Gold Star Families .... no jacket. Layered in sweaters, though. Talking about citizenship for soldiers ... how flag represents the blood of gold star families .... now talking about breast-feeding .... These folks are nutso. Now it's undocumented immigrants. Uh huh. Invites everyone to walk the halls of congress ----- poof.
Carlos Arrendondo is now speaking for Gold Star Families ... lost his son in Iraq ... cameras cut to hillside -- it is empty. Protesters have left the area ... a few remain in front of podium .... he's referring to the Constitution -- not sure what he is saying ....
World Can't Wait! rep rattles off a list of topics .... war, katrina, peace, etc., with call for impeachment .... condemns all Democrat candidates (even Hillary) .... calls for more protests and resistence .... warns we ain't seen nothin' yet (close) when troops refuse to fight blah blah blah .... crowd is getting weak .... signs can't be THAT heavy, can they?
Older lady at the mic .... demanding apology from Bush for something .... offers a list of other demands .... Efia Nwangaza from "Not in Our Name" --- where the hell do they find these people?????
A.N.S.W.E.R. coord ..... thanks those who remain for facing the cold .... Brian Becker. Camera is scanning the crowd .... some weirdos .... claim to fame: they're being broadcast live on C-Span and Arabian TV (spelling offered later).
Mahdi Bray is back at the mic ..... must have been some cancellations. Boring. Quotes words from an old song .... "I don't wanna be right" .... Guess what? You ain't right, brother.
Gonna surf and find out what is going on in the real world.
3:32: announcement ... someone lost his wallet .... I bet.
A very loud woman is shouting into the mic .... something about imperialists .... denouncing the war .... wearing a headband .... ears have to be frozen. Leah Obias of JusticeNotWar in Philippines .... It has to be warmer in the Philippines. Why is she on that podium freezing her buns off? No one can understand her. The crowd is leaving .... Talk about getting a cold shoulder. (snicker)
I bet I'm the only one blogging this flop.
Good. Someone needs to watch this. After all ------- C-SPAN thought it important enough to broadcast live. I'm sure the Eagle Gathering is more eventful. And it is definitely better attended!!!
How embarrassing for ANSWER et al.
Now someone from Haiti. Bet he hates being up there in that cold weather .... just said it was 80 degrees when he left home this morning. Ben Depuy. Former Ambassador .... not sure to what or whom. He's not wearing shorts, so he's probably not an actor from one of those blue water commercials. And he's having trouble with his words. White scraggley beard .... shades .... ball cap ... talking about money Bush pledged to his country -- now quoting Chavez. So let Chavez fund his country. Bastard.
Chuck Kauffman ... Nicaragua Network Co-Cordinator. What the heck --- did they have more cancellations? No wonder the crowd is leaving.
So am I.
