That’s common to marches on both the Left AND the Right, as well as everything in between.

"...That’s common to marches on both the Left AND the Right, as well as everything in between..."

Actually, it isn't, and that was the whole point of the analysis, why I felt compelled to take two pictures out of the hundreds/thousands I have to see if this is the case. (I concede it isn't an absolute truth, but it is pretty accurate!)

I have been fortunate to be allowed to hang out with the folks in the DC FR chapter, and have been to multiple counter-demonstrations both in front of Walter Reed, the Gathering of Eagles and last September 12th, the March on Washington.

In all the time I have spent doing this, that is one of the biggest things that stuck out in my mind.

On the Left, these people are bussed in, probably don't pay a cent out of their pocket, and are handed a sign.

On the conservative side (and this was highlighted in dramatic fashion on 9/12/2009) almost EVERYONE makes their own sign, in their own way, with their own materials, and their OWN message in their own words. And I am certain that out of the million-plus there last September, 95%+ paid their own way.

If you weren't there, there are plenty of threads that highlight just this fact, and are a lot of fun to look at. I have to say, it was one of the most highly entertaining aspects of the entire weekend.

Bottom line, I don't agree with your assertion based on my extensive experience (comparatively speaking...:)

Uh, the opposite of your statement is proved in the post you responded to.

Whazzup with that?

There is one more thing that EVERYONE notices as well, with a mixture of anger, humor, didain and disgust:

Liberals are slobs, in general. The areas they march and congregate in are a disgusting mess afterwards. Everything from dog feces and used diapers to lunch trash and signs littered every square foot of ground they passed through and stopped on.

Contrast it with the areas the conservatives were in. The areas were policed, trash collected. Even the signs that weren’t carried home were carefully deposited in trash cans, and when the bins were full, they were neatly stacked beside the bins.

The veneer of civilization is thin, and if things get crazy, who is to say we will be different? (Me! I say it...!) But when it is something like this, I can tell you who I would rather live next door to...:)
