Received two cell calls from Dave. The stage is set. The flags are waving. The weather is great. They're ready to Roll! Around 0945 the crowd was 50+ including Kristinn, sauropod, Leadpenny, Angelwood, Exit 148, GoreWarVet, Dutchy, Congressman Billy Bob, Black Agnes, TaxMan, TGSL DeComa, WhoKnowsWhatEvil, FireBrand, Country Dummy, Stan Waite, Pro2aMom, 0351Dog. (please pardon any mispelled "names" or omissions. The cell connections were poor).
Around 1015 the crowd was continuing to grow, with some spill over from the Peacenik/anarchist nitwits. Dave reports that it was the port-o-potties that attracted them. But our fearless Freepers labelled the doors "Patriots" and Patriot Women". It seems to be turning them away.
More to follow. Mustang sends from Florida.
During the 60's/70's, the Soviets paid a lot of money for protests using the Communist Party apparatus in the US. I imagine the Arabs are doing the same thing today. You could make a lot of money running an anti-Israel/US organization.
also let me CONGRATULATE you on your FINE WORK, in a super-thankless job!

I agree. I heard about and saw part of that confrontation between the peaceniks and the Black Panthers on Saturday night's TV news, too. The Panthers were ejected from the pro-Palestinian rally by the organizers and the police. Nonetheless, remember the news media's motto "if it bleeds, it leads".
I guess the media was also dissappointed that physical fights did not break out between our patriots and the anarchists that day though the CBS News affiliate WUSA-TV Ch. 9 had the only news crew on hand to cover our confrontations with the anarchists and some of the anti-Bush crowds.

Actually, last Monday's (4/15) pro-Israel demonstration only had around 30,000 attendees total. Most of the local news stations got it right when they reported "tens of thousands" of them last Monday. I, too, was very dissappointed that much less then that turned out last Saturday to show support for America and her brave troops. :-(
"To all those who were within a day driving distance, I have to ask the question that MrConfettiMan asked so long ago about another outrage in the US, we were there - where were you?
I know many folks had good reasons that kept them away, but what about the others? "
That's a da*n good question. I fear that the answer may be that too many of the special interest group lobbyists and their shills who live in our area are now sufficiently content to just kick back and enjoy their increased influence over Congress and the new Bush Administration. In other words, there are far too many folks (including Republicans) around here who are far too fat and happy nowadays to either appreciate or support our FReeps and the sacrifices that many of us continue to make for "the cause." Not to sound like I'm complaining or anything like that, however, IMHO, we should consider their lack of support as rather analogus to the over two thirds of original American colonists who sat on the sidelines and, in some cases, actually opposed the first American revolution way back in 1776. Actually, less than 10% of original American colonists actively fought against British colonial rule at that time.
So, IMHO, I guess we may need to, at least psychologically, accept our lot (in the minority) as similar to that of TRUE PATRIOTS who value principle over party, and our country, over the interests of the euro, the "whatever" and even the almighty dollar. The ruling elite here in the DC area, regardless of party or political label as so-called "liberals", "moderates" or even "conservatives", have proven themselves to be more concerned over selfish economic interests than the cause of freedom or loyalty to America.
