I recommend reading the whole article. IIRC, this is the first time The Washington Post has devoted an entire article to a Free Republic related demonstration since the March For Justice, October 31, 1998.

This is amazing, Kristinn. Sorely outnumbered, yet getting all this publicity for our side!

And I'd like to add, all the people interviewed gave clear concise and thoughtful answers.

Good job, guys!

My, what an interesting flag that is that the protestors are waving (left of the Capitol building)...

Lenin shows up on the Red signs of several protestors here...

Nice work, kristinn and Angelwood. I'm sorry I didn't make a greater effort to be there this time to add one more rational voice to the effort.

The article in WP is truly amazing, but I guess they agree with Freepers on the Iraq question, so suddenly the DC Chapter has popped into existence. Amazing.

The headline to the article is straight (almost) from President Reagan's first inaugural address. He said something to the effect that the sky won't fall on us if we do something, but it definitely will if we do nothing. Now, I'll go read this fascinating-sounding article!
