[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

What are you doing here? I thought you were in Aspen. We are there!

[Howlin]

A "Just tell me where to send the bail money" bump!

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

LOL, did you notice the location of the rally? lol

[Howlin]

Stay out of trouble; or at least take your chainsaw with ya.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Ahem! You're telling me to stay out of trouble? lol

Thanks for the bumps!

[Howlin]

We'll expect pictures. And good ones where you can see faces. The last ones you all posted reminded me of the pictures I took when I went to see the Beatles the first time at Washington Stadium. They looked like ants. :-0

Pictures are SerpentDove's deal. The last time they looked like ants? I'm surprised you could even see ants through all those umbrellas! When there are 3,000+ people, you have to back waaaaaaaay up to get them all in the picture. ;)

We're supposed to have beautiful weather tomorrow. :D

[Howlin]

Small. Small. You just looked tinier than you already are.

BUMP

Ants? Come on Howlin...you either get in good and close with a camera or you take a big crowd shot...in fairness, don't you think these are a reasonable mixture of the two? Sheesh.

These Cub Scouts were actually passersby who did not aprticipate in the rally.
I (SerpentDove) was holding a large flag on an 8-foot pole, when the boys saw the flag flying from across the street.
Spontaneously, they all jumped up on the little cement cylinders, put their hands over their hearts, and started saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
It was really something. I had to run over for a photo. I said "Okay, boys, the Pledge of Allegiance!"
Then I snapped this picture.

This is a shot of the hippy-dippy peacnik protestors.
No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Do not adjust your monitor. There are only two of them.
I think later in the rally, the number skyrocketed to seven. Maybe it was six.
I was never good with numbers.

This is a little Kurdish girl.
There were very many Kurdish citizens in attendance, who were all exrtemely passionate
and extremely vocal about ousting Saddam Hussein. Many carried photos of the atrocities committed by the Iraqi regime.
The emotion they expressed was palpable.

Elm Street. The JFK Memorial is in the background.

Kurdish citizens.

These are the peace protestors again. I mean, protestor. Maybe the other one went for a bite to eat.
Thankfully the barricades were there to keep the huge, bloodthirsty mobs of peacniks from attacking us.

ASSORTED RALLY PHOTOS:

I had to censor that one for the kiddies.

FReeper Strela

Charles Lingerfelt, rally coordinator.

President Bush and two of his friends made a surprise appearance. Oh, and I'm diggin' that poster.

Kurdish children take the platform.

I like this guy. His shirt says, "God Bless Harry Truman."
I asked him about it, and he said, "Harry Truman saved my life. I was about to be sent into Japan when he dropped the bomb and ended the war."
Come to think of it, he saved MY life, and I wasn't even born yet.

U.S. Representative Pete Sessions, Tx.
His father is former FBI Director William Sessions.

One of the most moving things in the whole rally was the constant honking of horns in support of
our responsibilities in Iraq. The noise was incessant, the cheers were breathtaking.
There must be about eleven peaceniks back there now. Okay, so I lied.
I told you I was never good with numbers.

A HUGE thumbs up!
Your pictures are awesome - feel like I was there!
