The report is finally up.

Thanks for the report, Angelwood. Made me feel like I was shivering there in the cold with y'all.

We don't have a large military presence in our city, but I do believe it's time for me to make another visit to the Armed Forces Recruiting Station with a word of thanks to our men and women in uniform. Wonder if they like KrispyKremes?

Thank you for the report and pics, Angelwood. I'd love to see Curtis Sliwa go for one of the Senate seats in NY.

When I left you on 8th St., I walked that soccer mom to the Eastern Market Metro and then walked to the Mall with another demonstrator. The first was a mom of two from MD and the second was a college professor from Owensboro, KY who had decided to make the drive herself. In both cases you could boil their positions down to, "The Big Bad Corporations who are supporting Bush on attacking Irag for Oil." Both were very nice people but so misguided. I still maintain that if you took the Bush haters out of the demonstration, there would not have been 1,000 there.

You fergot Alan, the Lib'ral Disruptor who hitch-hiked his way down from NooYawk to heckle our speakers...however, Kevin Martin (aka TBM), took him over to the side fer a 30-minute one-on-one and talked him into being a RabidRightWingWhacko like the rest of US, but he doesn't have a computer yet, so he won't be FReepin' right away!!

I've got a great picture of Alan and Kevin with their arms over each others shoulders and their off-hands flashing the thumbs-up sign. I'll see if someone at work can't help me post this photo...LOL!!

Great job, DeeCee FReepers!! Y'all are THE BEST...BAR NONE!!

FReegards...MUD

Thx for the report. Have reviewed morning's footage. Sun was a huge problem all day. Lots and lots of glare. Sound is great though. Reviewing afternoon footage now. 'Pod

David Horowitz was on Hannity & Colmes last night saying just what we were chanting: "A.N.S.W.E.R. is a front for the "Workers World Party"(which is headquartered in NORTH KOREA!"). Every "anti-war" participant group had ties to a communist organization. It was, in reality, an "anti-America" rally. Rush has been saying this all week as well. Well DUH! We all saw the red hammer & sycle flags and ISO fists on Saturday (which the leftist media so conveniently failed to report)!

PS: The leftist opposing Mr. Horowitz last evening was a guy named Kevin Martin (bearded white man not to be mistaken for our own TBM).

Morning all. Great after-action report and pics. Thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a thread with all the great slogans that were displayed at the Patriots rally. They make great taglines. Samples:

Pacifists are the parasites of Freedom
We gave peace a chance, what we got was 9/11
If you must burn the flag, wrap yourself in it

Others??

(p.s. this request is also posted on the current fundraising thread)

Beautiful report, friend. You brought tears to my eyes.
Thak you.

Great report Angelwood. I had a blast and will gladly show up any time these commies do. Hopefully with better weather we may get more of a turnout. Of course, it works both ways - they only had about 35,000 compared to the 250,000 they said they were going to have.
