IMPORTANT NOTE: The above number is only a recording, you will not be able to speak to anyone through it. The recording can be updated from any remote location and so it will be updated constantly, as necessary to provide the latest information on where the rally will be held. Because of the recording limit of 20 seconds the information will be up to the point giving the location of where we are throughout the day. The number is to an old pager voicemailbox. The pager has been disabled, please DO NOT leave messages. NO, it will not record your number. NO, it is not toll free from outside NYC. Some people objected to te auto responder e-mail. That has been removed. The other thread was pulled to allow time for the necessary changes.
Dutchy and NYC GOP Chick are the main organizers of the event and are designing additional fliers for the event in addition to the above flier. Firebrand is getting the appropriate permits for the rally and we will not know details of where we will be able to gather until close to the rally date. I AM NOT the organizer of this rally, just giving a hand.
George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Perhaps a corollary of that axiom should be: Those who know only historical slogans should quit using them to support their causes.
For example, amateur historians remind us impatiently that the reason Iraq must disarm (which no one else is doing) is that Hussein promised to disarm at the end of the Gulf War in 1991.
Of course, they neglect to tell us that the "promise" was made at the point of a gun. You don't "freely" give your money to a mugger when he says, "Your money or your life." Promises and actions that are coerced are morally meaningless.
But citing Hussein's promise isn't the only way history is misused.
History is invoked to justify the U.S. starting a war against a foreign country (Iraq in 1991, Serbia in 1999, and now Iraq again) because "history tells us" we have to stop the latest incarnation of Adolf Hitler before he proceeds to conquer the entire world. As though Serbia or Iraq could be compared to the power of Hitler's Germany.
And the history-sloganeers remind us over and over that millions of lives would have been saved if only the Allies had stopped Hitler at Munich.
A historical slogan can be a wonderful thing. It allows you to reduce all the complexities created by billions of people to a simple equation of Good vs. Evil, white & black, us & them.
But you're right, the cops always put us far away from the wackos...I will play it by ear...
But I just love workin the commies into a frenzy, with their foaming, obscene mouths spewing their hate...
Our final spot is Trygve Lie Plaza, which is at the southwest corner of 42nd Street and First Avenue.
There are no sound permits being issued for any group other than the anti-Americans. We will have access to heavy traffic, however, on both First Avenue and 42nd Street, so make those signs big and clear.
The reason we can't be in front of the UN is that they are securing that entire area. The weirdos are not being allowed to use Dag Hammarskjold Plaza either.
Cacique, please change the flyer and the recorded message and post the new thread if you could, with the new flyer on it.
Aye carrumba! I just printed up a small bunch at Kinkos to take to the NYYRC tonight! :)
Although if you feel like just adding the new information to each one, I will supply the Ben-Gay.
I think you misundertood. I was referencing the Clone Wars poster takeoff of Star Wars with Bush and the gang. The poster itself is fine but when you read the fine print at the bottom, it has a bunch of leftie garbage. I am pretty sure it was created by a leftist.
The FREEP Poster looks great!
