I drove by the Capitol early and parked my assault SUV at the MCRGO building and went back to my place. I took my signs and met a few of the other MSU GOP and Young Americans for freedom members there. One of them had a giant US Flag and another had a flag with "DON'T TREAD ON ME" on it.
It then started up and we were up against some 60's activists(grey hair), some anarchists, commies, and the like. Suprisingly, they were actually somewhat peaceful. I suspect the nuts like that one jerk at the last rally was probably in DC. They had a "Stop US Oppression" flag, no American flags, stop "US" Imperialism, and some dummy wanted a world court.
One green party nut in his 50's was going nuts on the way there. He had a green "Stop US Imperialism" sign there. He got into an expletitive match with one of our guys there.
We didn't feel like walking to the capitol. It would look like we were with them instead of against them. So took a couple of cars to the capitol. One car passed them 5 times, honked their horn, and yelled at them. When we passed them, we flipped the one finger salute at them. (I know it's the low road, but it works - :))
They were a good 20-30 minute walk from the capitol, so we stopped at Kelly's Pub, and when we got out, the Communists were there. Someone there was campaigning for the Nazi Lyndon LaRouche.
Some of the signs featured on our side are Pick a Better Country - Move there, God Bless Capitalism, USA Kicks Ass, Taliban, Jihads only understand Force, Go Home Commie, USA, Give War a Chance, and Anti War = Pro Terror.
These jerks also disrupted a wedding there. There was a wedding at the capitol, and it was disturbed by the communists. When they were leaving, two of the Wedding Attendents gave us the thumbs up, and didn't have nice things to say about the jerks.
The speakers were spewing the usual commie stuff. They complained that the US owned most of the world. They complained about Bill Gates since he was a billionaire. They complained about Israeli's owning more than the Arabs there. They said "The Earth belongs to all of us". They bashed Monopoly. They proclaimed their support for the Columbia left wing rebels. They praised Hugo Chavez. They then had chants of "Free Palastine" and were yappin about Israeli oppression and the like.
There was not one US Flag among the bad guys there. Not one. We had two big ones, and we had about 8 people.
OH, BTW - There was one guy there in a military uniform....on the OTHER SIDE. He said he was inactive. He should be, permanantly. I think he bought a uniform at a second hand store or something. That's just pathetic.
Any pics of Ponytail from the green party there?
Hey YAFers,
I'd just like to thank everyone who came out today to show their support for the war on terrorism and to help protest against those terrorist-loving commies. They showed up almost an hour late with signs saying "Stop U$ Oppresion" , "Stop BUSH", etc. There was also some old hippie Green party member sporting a Mao button who liked to say F*** You a lot. They even brought a dog with a sign that said "Dogs are victims of war too!". Wow, thanks to the leftists to point out those forgotten casualties. Anyway, we marches down Grand River and then on Michigan following their little parade. We got very positive support from the passing cars who flipped off their group and honked and cheered in praise of our group. We had several flags and signs saying stuff like "USA Kicks ASS", "Anti-War = Pro-Terror", etc. We also brought the megaphone which was great fun as it has the power to allow one YAFer to drown out 25 chanting commies. As they continued on the their great trek to the capitol we decided to take cars. We circled around their demonstration no less than 5 times with the megaphone out the window shouting "USA, USA" and "Pick up the pace Commies!". The first time we came by and blasted the siren at them they all stopped marching and stared. They were scared we were gonna throw something at them or something. As you can imagine, it was great fun!
The leftist continued their walk and we went to the capitol for some drinks. Finally the leftists arrived just in time to ruin some poor couples wedding photo shoot that they were taking at the capitol. The cops were there so we couldn't bring the megaphone but we stood between them and the main street the entire duration of their little rally against the war/ racism/sexism/right-wing south american guerillas/bush/homophobia/ U.S. imperialism and whatever other random commie stuff. Afterwards we had a few heated discussions and made our way back home. The left knows their commie antics won't be tolerated in Lansing. Once again, special thanks to everyone who came out. Photos will be up soon. See you guys later,
Hugs, 2T &;-)
Dang, I would hate to be so unhappy living in a country that I hate and not be capable of moving. It must be tough.
I shouldn't laugh, but, oh why not...BWA HA HA HA! That's for the newlyweds.
Thank you, Dan. (^:
I am sure your presence there affected many people.
