The dog days of August have drawn to a close. This is the calm before the gathering political storm. On September 15, the far Left group ANSWER (”Act Now to Stop war and End Racism”) will descend on the nation’s capital to demand what they’ve been demanding for the last six years in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks: immediate withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, immediate closure of the Guatanamo Bay detention facility and immediate release of every last suspected al Qaeda operative in American custody, immediate impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney, and immediate capitulation to our enemies at home and abroad.
Who will be there to counter the Jane Fonda retreads? Will you?
Gathering Of Eagles
Earlier this year, I reported on a new, non-partisan movement that arose to challenge the surrender lobby. On a bitter cold weekend in March, the Gathering of Eagles brought together veterans, families of active-duty servicemen and servicewomen, Rolling Thunder members, military bloggers, and their grass-roots supporters to raise their pro-troops, pro-mission voices. I interviewed Eagles who flew in from San Francisco, rode motorcycles south from Georgia, drove all night from Boston, and trekked in caravans from coast to coast to answer ANSWER. At the crack of dawn facing biting winds and contemptuous taunts, tens of thousands of Eagles stood guard over war memorials threatened by anti-war anarchists and lined the streets where bongo drum-beating retreatists marched.
The Gathering of Eagles turnout was unprecedented. The Cindy Sheehanistas and socialist rabble-rousers had never been met and matched with such force. Now, the Eagles are organizing a return to Washington at a historic moment in the global war against jihad. Gen. David Petraeus, top commander in Iraq, and US ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker are expected to testify before the Senate on September 11. Yes, that September 11. Four days later, September 15, is the deadline for the President to submit reports to Congress on how Iraq is meeting benchmarks for progress since the troop surge was announced in January.
ANSWER will lead what it bills as a “massive” September 15 demonstration to “End the War Now!”–no matter what Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker report. They will hold a “die in” and once again use the names and legacies of fallen soldiers without their permission to push for a precipitous pullout. They’ll remain in Washington the following week to hold a Code Pink-led protest in the House and an Iraq Veterans Against the War-led harassment campaign against military recruiters in D.C. and nationwide.
For every anti-Bush activist agitating for immediate withdrawal and throwing rocks at ROTC offices, an Eagle will be there in Washington to oppose the planting of the White Flag. The organizations leading the way include the Gathering of Eagles, Eagles Landing, Move America Forward, the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Free Republic, Vets for Freedom, and the Victory Caucus. (Visit gatheringofeagles.org and moveamericaforward.org for details.)
As retired Army Col. Harry Riley explains, “Unlike the 60s and 70s, the anti-war lemmings will not have the streets or the political stage to themselves. This time, Eagle Americans — we who support our troops, understand the stakes in the War on Terror and the true nature of our enemy, who aren’t blinded by an insane hatred of our way of life and our form of government — will also be in Washington, D.C., to show Congress that we will not tolerate another betrayal of our own forces or our allies…While the anti-democracy forces are well-funded by pro-left, anti-Americans, we Eagles have steadily been building our own coalition to stop ANSWER in its tracks, and keep Congress focused on winning the war, not their political ambitions.”
I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Our Lord Bless you Michelle!
You are wonderful!
I really like Michelle Malkin!! :-)
BUT—has she ever written anything that rebukes BOR’s scathing attack on FR?!

She is a frequent guest on BOR.
Let her slay one dragon at a time. ;-)
Pitifully, we have a Niagara Falls trip paid for or we would be there. I told Netmilsdad that as soon as we get the Hybrid Travel Trailer, we would be shooting for a FReeper event in DC.
Can’t wait til next year!!!!!
She is a frequent *host* on the the often MIA O’Reilly Factor.
You and she is great. Fox needs to fire Bill and hire her.
Gee...Whatever wil the ANSWER subversive stinky hippie piggies do to top this?...Why I know!...They’ll have a concert and “pigsty” us into submission!
Someone needs to tell Michelle that D.C. is NOT south of Georgia...
Yes it is. A beauty contest lovely from South Carolina told me so.

After Sen. TED KENNEDY pushed a post-WATERGTE Democrat Congress into cutting off all our funding for the then Free South Vietnamese People to fight for their own Freedom with during the Vietnam War,
...just as the Soviet Union gave $6 Billion in 600 tanks, 1,000’s of mobile Artillery pieces and Ammo to the Communist North Vietnamese People’s planned ‘Final Solution’ in the South,

She was awesome sitting in on the BOR show last night.
Serious question. Why a Niagra Falls trip? I have never understood why it is such a huge tourist attraction, and why people would travel great distances to spend a vacation there.
After about 10 minutes you have seen and done all there is to do and see.
Michelle is developing into an extremely effective host - she's ready to take over now. I watch when she is on but I can't handle O'Reilly.
>>After about 10 minutes you have seen and done all there is to do and see<<
Oh my! There’s Oooodles of things to do in that area besides seeing the Falls. I’m hoping that the Ripley’s museum is still open and for sure we want to go to Goat Island on the American side and see the Tesla monument.
We chose it because next year we will need passports to get into Canada (no more afternoon trips to buy Canadian chocolate for the family in Cleveland - Boo!). We want the kids to see the falls. Besides, we are camping so some time will be spent at the site.
It’s gonna be a blast.
Hopefully DC next year. The girls are 9 and 7. Next year it will be a giant homeschool lesson on American history and government.
At 8years old, my daughter loved Old Fort Niagara, visiting the power authority, and the hike down into the Whirlpool gorge, too. Also, wandering around Goat Island from one side to another through the woods was a great time, what with the rapids on either side of us. I believe we could have spent a full week in N.F. Oh, yeah: If you’re going to be on the Canadian side, don’t miss the “Butterfly museum” and Floral Clock with daughters that age, though those attractions are other places around the country, too.
Thanks! We can’t miss the Floral Clock. We studied about them.
She sits in for BOR when he’s not able to appear so I doubt she wants to touch that topic.
