The 'Sparsely Attended' Patriots Rally for America--After Action Report

Kristinn began his vigil on our behalf years and years ago when slick willie was doing his traitorous deeds against our beloved country. All those Saturdays in D.C........not too many have that kind of steadfast dedication. Talk about heroes.......he's a bonified hero!

[Nam Vet]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To each and everyone attending. I remember many years ago when seeing the freaks on TV that I thought NOBODY could believe that BULL**IT. How wrong we all were. Now IS the time to start showing our feelings. Sometimes I worry about attending because functions like this. No big problems, just break ONE jerko's nose or leg. Totally DEfensive, but 'affeared' of how it would be portrayed by our 'honest' media. ( apologies in advance for using 'honest' and 'media' in the same sentence). Thank each and every one of you attending today.

Thanks for the after action report, Kristinn.

Salute to the DC Chapter.

How do they get so many at their rallies?

No job, skip school.

Congratulations to you and all the Patriots in attendance.

The Freeper Rally in DC was a Lone Eagle in a swarming vulture's nest of terrorists and terrorist supporters.

Every person who showed up should receive a Medal for Bravery.

kristinn and Dave, THANK YOU for your valiant efforts! FReegards.

Kristinn, as my Grandfather warned, don't apologize. You've outdone yourself with this one, and that includes the bad old days of Kristinn v. J. Lockhart.

Simply marvelous. Congratulations to all, and happy dissent!

I awoke today thinking about the rally. The horrid irony is that the "protesters" are the status quo back at the dorm. Thank God the majority of American voters can't remember much about their College days...

You did great on the Washington Journal.

I can see it now ---Kristinn for Senator!!!

Need to hold an elective office
before you go for the Big one!!!

I believe I heard way out here in LA on
Local KNX 1070 a short interview with
a lady talking about the Patriots Rally.
Would that have been Connie?

I believe the new feeds to KNX are from CBS Radio!

[kristinn]

You're very kind. The enemies of freedom are still fighting to strip us of our rights and our very existence. We just gotta keep fightin' back everyday.

Great job...great report...

Everyone had to walk four or five blocks to get to the rally site from available street parking or the Metro.

My Kentucky pal and I walked 1 1/2 blocks south from Farragut West Metro stop into the commies gathering, then had to back track 1 1/2 blocks since the police barriers were in place by then. Then we headed about 4 blocks west, 6 blocks south and we entered near the east end of the Vietnam Memorial and then headed about another 2/3 mile east until we finally could attend the Patriots Rally.

I apologize for being nearly an hour late, but that was the reason. I forgot to mention, that there were about 75 commie leftists on our Metro train who departed at the same stop as we did.

Bottomline, it was worth every minute to attend the rally. It was a successful event from this FReeper's point of view. I am happy to have had the honor to attend.

Bob Dornan did a superb job and so did all other speakers.

I'd like to thank all organizers, supporters, participants and those who couldn't find us.

I just returned from my ten hour drive, and I need to work in the morning so I'll end this now.

You made us all very proud of the honorable job done once more by the DC FReepers. To those who think C-SPAN did not help us, remember how many of us came to FR because of C-SPAN showing so much of the Clinton mess. The usual C-SPAN junkies, both Dems and Pubs were shown enough anti-Americanism, to spark their residual anger from 9/11 and hopefully get off their middle of the roaditis.

I wish your 'report' could be printed - perhaps the Washington Times needs a ping.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I believe the news feed to KNX(1070) are from CBS Radio!

ping - for media head shaker

[catfur]

Hugs across the miles to you and the rest of the group!

I was sooo proud to be able to introduce you, Angelwood et.al to my family at the FReeper Inaugural Ball and especially to see my little 7yr. old grandniece's eyes glisten when she was introduced to all those people who were the ones she saw on TV yelling GET OUT OF CHENEY'S HOUSE!

Hey for all my FReeping Hillary, standing for President Bush etc., all that was a piece of cake...

What you did yesterday is awesome and I am proud to be a FReeper and to know you!

[mafree]

Big ups to you guys for a brave effort!

From the Orange County Register (AP) article on the DC EVENT headlined :Protesters share stage in mass rally in D.C. here is the closing paragraph :

In a counterdemonstration, a few hundred people gathered on the mall to show their support of U.S. policies. Some carried signs that said "Peace through superior firepower." "No Tear Gas Necessary. We Are Conservatives," said another.

The two groups of marchers passed peacefully on streets lined with police.
