It’s going to be a night for Rally for Honor attendees to be on their toes, for sure. They want to trap Americans into something that will spark a revolution so bad they can taste it.
While I am sure this Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial will be historic, it had better not be for the wrong reasons.
Hopefully there will be a lot of video. And hopefully, nobody will get physically injured....or worse.
My money says that these MLK marchers are not going to be peaceful once they get within audio range of the speakers at the Restoring Honor rally.
Money I wouldn’t mind losing, of course.
I guess this will show the difference between Liberty and Entitlement mentalities.
A lot of people out in Western Maryland are coming...busloads. I’ve had 3 different friends inquire about me going in caravans.
Relatives in Virginia also say a lot of people are going.
Me thinks if you want a ‘front row seat’, you’re going to have to be in place by 5 AM.
I remember sleeping overnight on the mall the night before Pope John II visited. Trying to stake out YOUR space on a blanket? Forget it.
This is a total set up , no doubt about it . This could get stupid real fast
Al Stepanfetchon will bring his rent a mob to cause trouble. What a marroon.
Pray for America
SIEU? I’m shocked.
Glenn has asked people not to bring signs. He didn’t say anything about baseball bats.
Sharpton’s ghetto fest will be nothing but a hand full of
union rent-a-thugs and ex-Acorn dignitaries. It sounds as
though Becks group will be massive and well educated in handling
these nit-wits.
What? Where’s Tawana Brawley?
What? Where’s Tawana Brawley?
He's the token white guy.
Whatever happens, don’t anyone try to give these jerks ammunition. That’s what they want, footage they can take to their friends in the media and say “see!!!! these tebaggers are really a bunch of racists!”
In fact, my suggestion is for everyone who has cameras, Flips, cell phone video...line up along the parade route and film every move they make. I was fortunate to have filmed the CBC’s walk through the crowd at the Healthcare protest, I only wished I’d thought of following those lying b@St@**$ all the way to and from the Capitol.

Sorry, that’s funny to see that side by side
I heard it is gonna be another “beat whitey” night.
I am only adding one thing to my camera bag.
A large can of wasp spray for self-defense.
