Saturday EaglesUp organized a Support The Troops Rally in Berkeley, CA on the street in front of the Marine Recruiting Office (Officially The Marine Corps Officer Selection Office)
Melanie Morgan gave a great speech and Diane Nagy sang patriotic songs.
There were several Gold Star Family members present, and one Gold Star Mother gave a moving speech
Jim Robinson-the creator of Free Republic- was there with his wife and one of his sons.
Several hundered came by Motorcycle after meeting down the road in Emeryville.

Wish I could have been there with y’all.
“The Boss” is sure lookin’ great, isn’t he?

Thunder Strike in Berkeley: Victory Achieved!
Written by Melanie Morgan Saturday, 21 June 2008 Despite the massive heat wave rolling through the San Francisco Bay Area, (tempertures nearly 100 in Berkeley where it rarely cracks 65) hundreds of bikers from all around the western part of the United States rumbled through the East Bay Saturday to stand in solidarity with the United States Marine Corps, under attack from anarchists to cross-dressing she/she's from Code Pink.
(KCBS report here.)
As I pulled up to Shattuck Square, I was on the phone with nationally syndicated talk show host Monica Crowley, doing a live broadcast about Thunder Strike from EaglesUp and other pro-troopers...rounding the corner in my big honkin' SUV and nearly ran over the orange-clad jumpsuit crowd (you know, the guys at World Can't Wait who think that we are being sooo mean to terrorists at Gitmo.)
Chronicle photo by Kurt RogersI was surprised to hear the name-calling that began as soon as they caught sight of me in my cammo t-shirt and jeans. "Melanie Morgan loves war! Melanie Morgan supports rape! Melanie Morgan supports torture."
Geez, I was so pleased. Think of it --the honor of being heckled by some of the most notorious anti-American, violence prone, George Soros funded groups on the political stage today.
antiunion person, Morgan is still quite active with her website, and also as Chairman of Move America Forward.
She has also been filling in for some very prominent Talk Show Hosts occasionally.
He seemed to be anxious to get out to a rally and be there to Support Our Troops and the Military.
I had a good time hanging out with him and his family on the weekend.
Fandamntastic! THANK YOU ALL!!

Yeah, I saw those two. I will admit I didn’t know you were so hot ; )
LOL
I’m still trying to figure our which pictures are “me” that you Freeperettes are seeing...
The one from Crawford worked for me! You need to get out (from BEHIND the camera) a little more! LOL!
There are a couple of me.
I'm not the hot blonde, that's Melanie Morgan...
Yeeaaah, buddy. We need some frontal shots. LOL!
LOL...Did Jim try and hit on Dr Zoo??? (Using my best Seinfeld voice....Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
In this case, it was me Making Stuff Up.
I had to find a reason for the ladies laughing...
Sorry you couldn't make it.
Yea, I almost always forget to hand someone my camera and take a picture of me.
But sometimes I do:
This was taken by a MAFer. Danny, the Samoan Blogger.
Me and terrorist supporter Susie Benjamin and Buzz Patterson.
Buzz asked her to whistle Yankee Doodle Dandy, and instead she whistled the Cuban National Anthem.
Taken last Oct, '07.
You can’t fool me! That’s Jerry Garcia!
When Melanie Morgan was leaving, Diana Nagy and I walked her through the "gauntlet" of terrorist supporting commies as they yelled at her saying she supports murder and rape.
At one point one of the no-nonsense Berkeley cops gave a World Can't Wait organizer a talking-to.
After a tiff, the cop decided to give him a citation for an infraction of some kind, and the WCW honcho gave him a classic "You have got to be kidding me" look.
As soon as we got past them, 2 Berkeley Police Officers were jogging towards her to give her an escort to her car.
The guy in the picture was stalking her, and pulled back when he saw that the cops were protecting her.
I filmed the last part of it.
I am going to try to get some of my video up later.
Funny, a few years ago I had a curly gray wig that looked just like The Grateful Dead Jerry Garcia's hair.
My kid borrowed it for hollow ween and lost it.
Thanks for the ping.
A Great Job by everyone.
Loved your posts Syncro.
When I see pictures like these or meet a Marine it gives me hope and makes me proud to call myself an American. I spoke with and thanked a Marine at my local store just yesterday. What you all did Saturday was...well, it was honorable. Thanks for the pics and ping Syncro.:)
Oh and after seeing the pics...Syncro, (as USMC Brat and I have said in the past, “You da man”. However, Jim and Sheila are one of the most beautiful couples I’ve ever seen.
I can't find words enough to say any more. Thank you for standing up to these awful people who hate our nation and the young men & women who serve.
