OK, here are the pics of the rally in DC. All in all I was somwhat dissapointed that we didn't have more people show up. On the other hand we are not as organized as our opposition and we are poor at networking outside of our FreeRepublic circle. That is something we will have to improve upon.

On the other hand let us not forget that the opposition comprises of socialist retirees that are refugees from the sixties and red diaper doper babies who are not yet in the mainstream having to work and pay taxes for a living. Therefore they have all the time in the world to make asses of themselves. Most will grow up, some unfotunately are brain dead and beyond hope and salvation.

It's as Winston Churchill once noted "If you are young and not liberal, you have no heart. If you are old and not Conservative, you have no brains.".

You guys have all the fun :(

I don't think it would have mattered if more or less people showed up on either side. What matters is getting to the power positions. That means winning elections and influencing the major corporations. I think FR has had some success in both these areas so don't be discouraged.

I listened to some of the coverage that Pacifica (left end FM commercial free radio) was running on Saturday of both the SF and DC "protests". If anyone thinks that the position of the protesters was "anti-war", they would be sadly mistaken judging from the guests on the radio.

There was everything from denial of slavery in Sudan to an Orwellean word substitution where a guest rambled on about how the Palestinians were not terrorists but rather they were freedom fighters. The woman defended the "actions" by saying that they were fighting with the only weapons that they had so that they could live free. Killing civilians deliberately is an act designed to create terror, thus the label of terrorism. No one is freed by an act of suicide (a martyr can draw fire so others may escape in a "suicide mission" but that is hardly the same).

There was also heavy use of buzzwords like "ethnic cleansing" and "apartheid" to describe what was going on in Israel.

No guest asked that China or Saudi Arabia (etc. etc.) should be pressured to allow freedom of religion.

There was the admission that they were uniting people from different causes to oppose all of America's "evil" wars and an effort was being made to try to draw Columbia into the discussions.

There also was much rhetoric on economic systems.

If any of the "peace" protesters thought that they were gathering to civilly and publicly ask "both" sides to lay down their weapons then they were duped by the socialist left once again.

P.S. Thanks for going and for your report!

the scumbags think they have a lock on demonstrations.
you should have let a pro pali use the outhouse and then tipped it over on him.

24 & 25 Larry Klayman addresses the rally and announces he will sue God for causing rain.

 

LOL!!!!

 

Great pics and thread! Wish I could've been there!

[Humidston]

Ewwwwww, I am SOOOO jealous that you were there and I was not! Great job, fantastic pictures!

Thanks to you and all who were able to stand proud for America!

Looks like a great show of support for our U.S. troops

One thing. Is that not the wrong flag to have on stage ?

Dear Cacique:

No disrespect intended, but I find I can't keep my mouth shut after seeing this thread.

When will our side realize that we don't do public demonstrations? Such events are the domain of the left and they will always be the domain of the left. Nixon was correct when he referred to us as the silent majority.Conservatives simply wont do street demonstrations.

IMHO, we should concentrate on what we do best.

What is that you ask?

1) We own talk radio. Radio FR has been launched, but I'd bet only a fraction of the registered members of the FR even know it exists.

2)We own the 'net. We are effective communicators. We can mobilize writing and calling campaigns far better than the left.

I could go on, but I suggest we dump what isn't successful and concentrate on what we do well....

[In veno, veritas]

BTTT from someone without a heart.

[2Trievers]

Superb! Absolutely superb! Congrats to ALL PATRIOTS in DC! Eagles up! &;-)

[Neets]

[old blue beemer]

There's a fellow Texas FReeper who can confirm that at about 2pm on Friday afternoon,
an internal debate was raging to throw caution to the wind and make a dash from Austin for DC.

However, family matters made it impossible for that co-conspirator to also act as co-pilot,
and my middle-aged body just ain't up to those solo-eighteen-hour-nonstop road trips any more.
:-(

Dudes and dudettes, this DC member in absentia REALLY wanted to be there with y'all again !

Thank you from the Heart o'Texas for standing for all of us !

btw, the stench of those people still lingers in memory from 9-29 at the Navy Memorial...
bathe vigorously, bathe often !
