"Curtis Slewa speaking now at the rally"

That dude's one fiery orator!! I got my picture taken with him, too!!

FReegards...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"there is a respectable amount"

Under 500, but respectable nonetheless...MUD

Apparently, 15 February is their Leftists' next big rally day...we oughtta have OUR ducks in a row by then, IMHO!!

"What Band(s) played at the concert?"

FReegards...MUD

[RummyChick]

Did you see the black guy marching on the street on CSPAN coverage saying he was marching because of white supremacy etc etc etc...he had a mouthful to say.

[Mudboy Slim]

"...My bookmarked .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. Threads can also be accessed here simply by hitting the ..ALOHA RONNIE.. on this post."

Thank you, sir...best movie I've seen since "The Patriot", not including the two Tolkien movies...Mel Gibson deserves the Academy Award for Best Actor and the dude who plays Sgt. Major Plummley is the Best Supporting Actor of All-Time, IMHO...I didn't even realize who it was until that scene in the airplane hangar!!

Godspeed Swift Victory and Safe Return for the Finest Fighting Force on Earth.

Patriotic Americans may have been working today, as I was.

God Bless Our Troops and Our Veterans and their Families.

"Taxman, retired US Navy Captain, started it off with "The Pledge of Allegiance" as all turned and faced the VietNam Memorial Wall."

Actually, it was Red Skelton's version of "The Pledge of Allegiance" and he did an excellent rendition!! Taxman...did Mr. Skelton delete the "indivisible" or have you been hangin' 'roun' stand watie too long?!!

Great job in any event...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"Ever notice how MAJORITY of these idiots are under 25 yrs old .. chances are they have no jobs, pay no taxes and are sucking off of mommy and daddy's income...And the older ones never grew up from the 60's"

You nailed it, my FRiend...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"I don't know what Bob Dornin said"

Apparently he said, "It's TOO Cold!!"

Whatever...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"these 'kidz', hopefully are salvageable"

Have no fear, my FRiend, of course they are!! Many of these kids seem nice enuff...it's just that they are Ignoramuses!! Seriously, we're talkin' bloomin' idiots all the way!!

But they're salvageable...and America's future will be bright despite this mass demonstration of Blitherin' IDIOCY!!

Blame the Public School System and the Vast, LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd!!

[Mudboy Slim]

"How many folks showed up at the Rally?"

Less than 500...MUD

[fatima]

I just saw it,also the Marines with our flag singing God bless America and saying things back.

[AGreatPer]

Hi sweet, it is sooooo good to see you here. With the bad back and jowls looking like a chipmunk it was impossible to go there today. .......ps......Im Ok though.

Was just so proud of all the DC Freepers today. I tried to follow it all.

There are good pix of several of you on Reuters. If you need url's let me know. I made hard copies.

[Mudboy Slim]

"WHY THE WEAK NUMBERS????"

"Many reasons..."

No excuse, IMHO...this is a Battle fer the Soul of America, and the Right cannot afford to sit this one out like we did fer our Viet Nam vets!!

[Xthe17th]

This evening, NBC showed several seconds of video of me with the US and WV state flag at the rally. Didja see it? Montani Sempir Liberi!

I'm gonna seriously work on forming a WV chapter of FR here in the eastern panhandle. More on that later. MAJOR KUDOS to our chapter warlord Kristinn for arranging the (despite the C-Spam bailout) excellent news coverage. Here's a partial listing of where FreeRepublic was mentioned wrt the anti-American protesters:

• Washington Post
• KNBC-TV Channel 4-Los Angeles
• NBC Nightly News
• Newsmax
• MSNBC - live interview with Joel Kernoble of MOVE-OUT!
• Joel Kernodle (Reuters photo)
• REUTERS/Mannie Garcia
• Joanne Melhuish (Reuters photo)
• REUTERS/Molly Riley
• Yahoo! News (Reuters photos & captions)
• FOX News
• Leslie Montague (Reuters photo)

Dr. Raoul says we're also in the NY Times, Washington Times, Minneapolis paper, etc., etc. (I think he somehow did a search via Drudge Report). I'll add more links and details as I get them.

Have a friend from high school. VERY conservative. Marine! His daughter is one of "THEM" She's an ARTEEEST. Harvests kelp to support her art. Travels the country "being involved". Mooches off any one and everyone. Lives a gypsy type lifestyle. They "crash" at total stangers places, share whatever from whomever, owns nothing.

HER POOR FATHER!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I was just watching the march on the Washington Naval Yard. They were chanting "Money for jobs, not the war". Somebody correct me if i'm wrong but aren't most of the several thousand well paying jobs at the shipyard civil service and contract? So they're protesting jobs that most likely will go to a minority hire .

[Mudboy Slim]

"...FReeper crowd growing. American flags are lining along the the peacenik route. Side lines of FReepers and fellow Patriots are chanting Mega Pro-American refrains. FReepers and friends are dominating both sudes of the street. They're all fired up...."

Where were y'all?! We were at 8th and I until almost 12:30, but saw no sign of FRiend or FOE!!

"why the weak numbers?"

Well, I for one couldn't go because I could not honestly pledge to remain non-violent if I got wihtin a stone's throw of these anti-American types.
