Just checking in with a few comments:

The one big thing that stood out today (and we've seen many times before) is the anger shown by the other side. They are REALLY angry. Some of them rant away, shouting and spitting out their venom or their sound bytes - trying to accomplish what, I don't know ---- but it is almost amusing to watch.

There was one contingent from Central NJ. (I am from Northern NJ) They were at Lafayette Park and passed by us, on their way to the rally, and shouting out their anti-Bush stuff in unison. So I shouted back that "Northern NJ LOVES President Bush." One guy stopped directly in front of me and got in my face - shouting away. I said that I couldn't hear him ---asked him to speak louder --- asked him to repeat what he said ---etc, all the while I was laughing. He just kept shouting. You can't talk with such people. So I just laugh at them, and that makes them even angrier! LOL!

At Sect. Rumsfeld's home, a group of the ANSWER people didn't bother to protest in front of the house, but chose, instead, to sass us. Some were beside themselves with anger at our signs. The line of police in front of us kept them in line, but patiently, and continually had to keep them from crossing through. They shook their arms and screeched away. They are not happy people! I did see tho, some protesters who looked at the unfortunate Iraqi amputees with sober looks. They were an effective addition to our group, and it was an honor to meet them.

All in all, we had a good time! Our signs irked the heck out of them. What more can you ask??

Thank you all for the reports. Really wanted to be there today but it just didn't work out.

I find it absolutely amazing how such a small band of Freepers can single handedly deminish what was, in the past, bands of thousands.

You D.C. Freepers are helping this Country simply by shouting the truth in the face of evil and lies.

"Some of them rant away, shouting and spitting out their venom or their sound bytes - trying to accomplish what, I don't know ---- but it is almost amusing to watch."

When I have the pleasure and time to join you all in D.C., I do the same thing. Sit back and watch them.

As mature as I am, I still don't get it. What are these people really protesting? Is it America? Is it Bush? Is it Freedom?

I have found these people just to be preaching to NOTHING. They seem to have no purpose except to shout.
