Shiver along with the D.C. Chapter, FReepers from across the country, other patriotic Americans and Iraqi exiles as C-SPAN broadcasts the Patriots Rally For America IV today at 1:05 p.m.

Recorded yesterday at the cold, fog-shrouded, snow-covered grounds of the Washington Monument, the rally held to support our troops, President Bush and the American policy on Iraq features former Rep. Bob Dornan, Aziz Al-Taee, Blanquita Cullum, John Armor, James Parmelee, Kevin Martin, Adam Ramey and yours truly.

Also featured are singers Cullen Martin, Stephanie Souders and, from Nashville, Lowell Shyette.

The program, if shown in it's entirety, should run three hours and fifteen minutes.

Get some hot chocolate ready, pop some popcorn, put on your red, white and blue sweaters and get ready to root for the home team: the men and women serving in our Armed Forces.

EAGLES UP !!!

So that gives her a pass to call you guys stupid and lazy?

Did you READ her post, Dave?

[Valin]

Hey, don't I rate

do you really want the answer? :-)

B-1 BOB DORNAN UP NEXT! Yee-haw!

[RaceBannon]

Why don't you plan one BIG successful rally to be held in D.C., with thousands of people in attendance, instead of a bunch of small, piddly ones?? Which is, BTW, an excellent suggestion Rush once made to a caller from Free Republic quite awhile ago.
You are an admirer of Rush's, are you not Angelwood?? It might be prudent if you would listen to his advice a little more often.

This is a joke, right? Dont you understand why these rallies are small?

BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE SHOW UP, BECAUSE LIMBAUGH DOESNT ADERTISE IT FOR US, BECAUSE ALMOST ALL RIGHT WING TALK SHOW HOSTS INGNORE US WHEN WE TRY TO GET TIME ON AIR TO PUBLICIZE IT, AND BECAUSE FREEPERS WHO LIVE IN THE AREA REFUSE TO SHOW UP.

Pardon my rant, but truth is truth. Without support from the media, which we cannot control, we have only FR to advertise these rallies, and that means if you heard of any of these rallies, you are responsible for not showing up like you just complained about.

[CounterCounterCulture]

C-SPAN goof: Dornan, D-CA???

[sauropod]

Hell yes i did.

There is nothing to say. I have no magic formula to get folks in the streets.

The fact that we had a couple of hundred folks out on a really cold crappy day at any time through the rally speaks volumes about the work that WAS done.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Now they fixed it...R-CA...

[hole_n_one]

She's gonna kill me......

[CounterCounterCulture]

WE-WANT-BOB!
WE-WANT-BOB!

[sauropod]

Good to see ya bud. Sorry you could not be here.

You could have actually seen the rally instead of doing portapotty duty ;-)

Thanks for the post!

Kipling wrote about the people who took their freedom for granted(now days the anti-war left and the appeasers)

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.

[sauropod]

Hmmm..... Seems to me that's blackmail material ;-).

Too late. Already saved to my hard drive ;]

[CounterCounterCulture]

From the hn1 archives...LOL!

[Dolphy]

I remember attending a few pro-Bush rallies during the Florida fiasco. I am in Western Michigan, and only a few people showed up. It was so frustrating, I emailed Limbaugh and others, without response. It was then I decided he really doesn't care about the outcome of some things. At the time I didn't know about Savage. It seems to me he would help, he's put that challenge out a while back when he asked what conservatives would do when the anti-war rallies started.

[hellinahandcart]

Hell yes i did. There is nothing to say

There most certainly is something to say, and "Teri" should say it:

"I'm sorry. I don't know what possessed me to be so spiteful, petty, carping, and WRONG."

[sauropod]

Looks like they promoted the dc chapter website correctly this time ;-)

"Death to Saddam Hussein!"

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOWAAAAAAAAAAA....and it's coming Saddam. Don't doubt.
