There’s no better way to see D.C. than on the back of a Harley! My family may be used to snowmachines more so than motorcycles (though you couldn’t tell it with Todd driving a hog today with Piper on the back and with Bristol riding on the back of another bike). But whether you’re riding the open road or the frozen tundra, you’re celebrating a free spirit. What could be more American than that?
Today’s Rolling Thunder rally in DC is all about freedom. And it’s about duty and loyalty and service. The message heard loud and clear through the roar of tens of thousands of bike engines declared, “We will never forget our heroes left behind!” Truly, our POWs and MIAs honored today are America’s real heroes.
In addition to drawing special attention to POWs and MIAs, Rolling Thunders works to help all veterans, active duty service men and women, and military families in so many ways. Riding with these patriots today reinforced that we must do all we can to remind all Americans that we owe our freedom to our vets and to those missing and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to make this the greatest country on earth. They deserve our debt of gratitude. It’s not the politician or the reporter who makes us free; it is the veteran.
One man who clearly understands this is Rep. Allen West, who was there today to honor our military. I really appreciated meeting him. Thank you for spending your day with the troops, Lt. Colonel West!
Meeting with Blue Star and Gold Star mothers this afternoon puts much into perspective. These beautiful families sacrifice so much for our freedom. This is what Memorial Day weekend is all about. Many of us this weekend are firing up the grill and enjoying time with our loved ones. Remember that we’re able to do that because someone else’s loved one is willing to lay it all on the line to defend our freedom. Someone is willing to re-deploy again and again far from home. Someone is willing to endure the blistering heat of Iraq’s deserts or the brutal cold of Afghanistan’s mountains. Someone is willing to put his or her own life on hold to make sure we’re safe. We never hear them complain, do we? And we never hear their families complain either. That’s what duty and service means. And Rolling Thunder’s commitment to them is what loyalty means.
I’m thankful Rolling Thunder keeps the mission of honoring our vets alive! For in doing so, they remind us what is good and free and worthy in America. So roll on, Rolling Thunder! Like Martin Luther King, Jr. said about the great struggle for civil rights, “we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream...”
Let’s roll on to honor our vets, to secure our blessings of liberty, and to fundamentally restore our proud America!

Velociraptor vs. drunken squirrel?
Most carefuliny quaffed maybe?
Nope. She went the whole way and while others were giving speeches, she met with the many folks. She describes some of it here:

Or, West-Palin. Can one just imagine a debate between West and Obama and a repeat of Palin and Biden (with all that’s transpired since 2008?
No surprise that Todd Palin is at home on a bike. He’ s a first class athlete. I doubt he’s be handing around the White House much.
Is anyone invited? I know I have gone several times without an invitation.
I am sure there were ten thousand people there without invitations.
By the way If Chrissy waits for one, I have a feeling he will be waiting a long time. These people here have no use for men with tingly legs .
As Sherlock Holmes once said about Irene Adler...”WHAT A WOMAN!”
I think Cain would be a better choice for a running mate. IAC, she still has not announced. Although it does look like she is running for something. A fast moving target, hard for the Establishment to do more than wing her right now. Every time they try to lead her, she darts off in a new direction.
Chrissy Wallace said she was an uninvited guest
yes the lying scumbag takes after his father... and fakes it to control the other side of the conversation... what a twit
ymmv
Wouldn’t that be an inspirational team.
I like that even more...West/Palin. YES!
I like that even more...West/Palin. YES!
Nope! Sarah MUST be on top!!!
I don’t want the choice to be limited to one between two Black men - unfortunate but I think we would end up with another Obama term. I prefer the ticket to be Palin/West.
Save it. Not happening.
BTTT.
She made it plain in *Going Rogue* that she’ll never again be anyone’s VP.
That would be the BEST!
BigTiger...I noticed that too! she was invited.She knows her presence can create chaos & is respectful enough to help sort out all the details in consideration.
I think her tour also is meant to HELP IDENTIFY TRUE AMERICANS...ya know the ones the government sold out as they import tons of foreigners..legal & illegal.
She is gonna drive folks utterly insane FROM NOW ON.
Her announcement needs to be made on JULY 4 “AMERICANS...LET’S ROLL”
