Hat on woman on left reads "Marine Corps", "Veteran". Perhaps her husband, son or brother served in the Marines?
On the right, I believe the sign reads "Just Say No To Radical Left-Wing Extremism". The images on the left of her sign
are of Obama, Wright and possibly Bill Ayers? I didn't look very carefully at it at the time.
Sign reads: "Can We Bankrupt The Country? Yes We Can!"
Sign reads: 'Keep Your Hands Off Of My Piggy Bank'
Sign reads: "This Is Change We CAN'T Believe in"
I messed up here and chopped off the lower portion of this sign.

Also, I thought it said something about 7pm, and by then I was tired.
Anyway, loved the "Commie" poster.
Thx.
Great pics. Thanks!
I especially like the “If I wanted to be a commie I’d stay in China” sign.
Bravo to whoever was trampling the communist flag!
My earlier posting of this thread includes pics I took of Obama’s pals Bill Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s old bomb factory on 11th Street. On March 6, 1970, three Weather Underground idiots blew themselves up there attempting to build a bomb meant to kill soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. The explosives were filled with shrapnel.

Thanks. I took them with a cell phone camera. I had to toss out nearly 100 shots that were either too blurry or too dark.
I hope you were able to get some rest. /s
The TEA parties are a solid start. But we, the people, have to follow up by having “Push Back Until” events later this year, early next year, and for as long as we have to: http://pushbackuntil.com.
It will not be easy, but how interested are we in saving our country from an irresponsible Congress? If we, the people, do nothing, our country is finished.
“Be in D.C. to Push Back Until!”
my cellphone camera can’t even touch that.
Anyone who didn’t go to NY’s tea party is invited to the Bucks County Tea Party at beautiful historic Washington Crossing Park, on Sat. Apr. 18 from 1-3pm.
www.tea4change.com
It is an all day family picnic affair, with special appearances by George Washington himself, and some other colonial patriots.
Wash Crossing Park is the consecrated ground where Gen. George gathered his troops for the attack on Trenton NJ in 1776.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, music.... and beautiful women.
Wow, never I thought I would see this in NYC!
Perhaps it was her!
Women Marines became a permanent part of the regular Marine Corps on 12 June 1948 when Congress passed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act (Public Law 625), but they had already proved themselves in two world wars.
During World War I, Opha Mae Johnson was the first of 305 women to be accepted for duty in the Marine Corps Reserve on 12 August 1918. Most women filled clerical billets at Headquarters, Marine Corps to release male Marines qualified for active field service to fight in France. Other women filled jobs at recruiting stations throughout the United States. On 30 July 1919, after the war was over, orders were issued for separation of all women from the Corps.
Twenty-five years later, women were back to "free a man to fight." The Marine Corps Women's Reserve was established in February 1943. Before World War II ended, a total of 23,145 officer and enlisted women reservists served in the Corps. Unlike their predecessors, women Marines in World War II performed over 200 military assignments. In addition to clerical work, their numbers included parachute riggers, mechanics, radio operators, map makers, motor transport support, and welders. By June 1944, women reservists made up 85 percent of the enlisted personnel on duty at Headquarters, Marine Corps and almost two-thirds of the personnel manning all major posts and stations in the United States and Hawaii. Following the surrender of Japan, demobilization of the Women's Reserve proceeded rapidly, but a number of them returned to service as regulars under the 1948 Act.
In August 1950, for the first time in history, the Women Reserves were mobilized for the Korean War where the number of women Marines on active duty reached a peak strength of 2,787. Like the women of two previous wars, they stepped into stateside jobs and freed male Marines for combat duty. Women continued to serve in an expanding range of billets and by the height of the Vietnam War, there were about 2,700 women Marines on active duty serving both stateside and overseas. During this period, the Marine Corps also began opening up career-type formal training programs to women officers and advanced technical training to enlisted women. By 1975, the Corps approved the assignment of women to all occupational fields except infantry, artillery, armor and pilot/air crew. Approximately 1,000 women Marines were deployed to Southwest Asia for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990-1991
Great pictures and great signs. I love the ladies standing on the USSR flag. The Chinese-American guy saying if he wanted communism he would have stayed in china. The $3 bill with O in commie beret.
You gotta love New Yorkers er...I mean conservative New Yorkers. ;-) Not those rent controlling loving Bolsheviks.
Anyone who needs to be bribed to go to one of these patriotic events probably doesn't belong there in the first place.
I was riding a bus the other day (my driver was off /s). We were stopped at an intersection, and a semi cruised by. The driver turned to me, exasperated and ubidden, and said, "How's Obama gonna make that thing run on electricity?"
I replied, "Only believe!
I hear all sorts of subtle compaints about the Man who Brought Hope and Change to the World and Who Hasn't Been Enthroned for Even 100 Days Yet, right here in NYC.
Perhaps it was her!

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that. My apologies.
I thought there were women Marines going back to WW2. I had a relative who volunteered in WW2 for the Navy and she was a WAV or wave. As we all know there is interservice rivalry and nicknames that are often not very nice. Sailors being called squids or swabbies etc etc.
Well combine interservice rivalry and women being women. The women Marines nickname was BAMs - broad a**ed marines. True.
find later
beautiful in the sense this tea party was initiated and organized by two beautiful women.
Literally.
