Unbelievable. From the powerful rally of red, white and blue to a miles’long contingent of patriots, thousands of people came out today to show unwavering support for America’s troops.
Melanie Morgan, chair of Move America Forward, emceed the Gathering of Eagles, a 7,000-person strong contingent of red-blooded Americans on the Capitol Mall.
The respecful gathering contrasted with the anti-war crowd that carried signs saying “f..k Bush” and other enlightening phrases. About 5,000 losers marched from the White House to the Capitol where a group of the held a die-in. They carried names of America’s heroes who gave their lives, despite pleas from the parents and families of those soldiers who asked that they not dishonor the troops.
After the morning rally of patriots, which was bolstered by hard work from Free Republic, Gathering of Eagles, Families United and other pro-troops groups, lines of red,white and blue America-lovers lined the streets where Code Pink and other anarchist, communists and socialists marched. It was quite a gauntlet.
As of this writing, our brave police had to arrest the miscreants who lay in the streets. It was sickening to see.
So enough of that. Allow me to take you back to the real story: the rally.
Too much happened, too much was said, too much was embraced for words.
Gold Star families, those whose loved ones gave their lives for America, spoke about their continued support for our troops, the need to win in Iraq.
Rep, Duncan Hunter, who is running for the Republican nomination for president, spoke at the rally. A veteran himself, Congressman Hunter always pushes an agenda to protect and honor our troops. His son has served in Iraq and is now in Afghanistan.

We will write more about this soon. I wanted to give a quick update on Move America Forward and all of the individuals who came out today.

We will also post photos - we have lots of them.

I want to thank everybody who helped, everybody who prayed, and everybody who attended today.

Cspan had coverage of the 15Sep 2007 Support Our Troops, Surrender Is Not An Option, These Colors Dont Run, We Win In Iraq Or We Fight The Terrorists In The US,We Are Patriots But Liberals Are Not,
Freedom Isnt Free Tour.
Watching these phony patriots was enough to give me a case of diabetes, they were so sugary sweet,
It was like watching the 700 Club Meets Sesame Street.
How can you stand up there and speak about war and killing, when either your son our husband
has been killed due to lies and deceit?
I dont feel sorry for these people, I feel pity.

1. There it is again:

"...the need to win in Iraq." WIN FUCKING WHAAAAT????!!!!! :shrug:

[Flubadubya]

2. Her hyperbole is hyper-funny!!!

Sheez... "anarchists and communists". They still drag out that old "communist" canard don't they? :puke:

10. You can wait ALL year long to define their phrases.

"Victory in Iraq!"

"If we'n don't fight them THAR, we'll be a-fightin' em HERE!"

"We need a strong HOMEfrunt!"

"Let 'em finish the MISSION!"

But you'll probably be dumber after having heard their answers.

3. Is this from The Onion? nt

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. The whole premise is built on the lie that occupying Iraq has something

to do with protecting the US. So, none of what they do or say makes any sense.

5. Oh my God!

I'm surprised she didn't write Emmanuel Goldstein was leading the march.

America Uber Alles!

7. Saturday

I heard they clashed with our people on Saturday???? :shrug: :hi:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. 7,000?

Something tells me they inflated their numbers.

[displacedtexan]

8. I counted 213 between 9th and 10th (along Pennsylvania Ave) Saturday.

The best part: The police were facing the freepers-- not us!

That's the first time I've ever seen the cops protect the protesters.

Of course, that changed at the Capitol.

11. From the pictures that they did show on TV I don't think I know.

there sure as heck wasn't 700 people much less 7,000. I wonder why they do this. Do they think people are blind as well as stupid.

[HughBeaumont]

9. 7,000. Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyeah.

I was there and while I have to give them credit for the fact that more than 12 of them showed up, I'd say they had 1,000 AT BEST.

Meanwhile, the whole "5,000 losers" thing . . . YOU WISH, MEL. Try 80-100,000, and I have several high-up photographs to prove my headcount. I guess if wanting to reverse the direction this country has taken since fuckheads like Mel turned into fascist lapdogs for the Failure Fuhrer makes me a loser, SO BE IT.

Oh and Mel, can you and your Ku Klux Freeps try insults that AREN'T two decades removed from the Rea-gone presidency? Are you still pulling the "Hanoi Jane" smack?

I don't show ANY pity for Freeps anymore. After my experience this weekend, these people disgust me to the core. "Respectful gathering" MY ASS. I witnessed grown men threatening teenagers, women and college students. THAT'S respectful? Dare I pull out the YouTube video of one pro-war asshole attacking female demonstrators and a photographer? THAT'S FUCKING RESPECTFUL????

Yeah, get back to me Freepshits when you DEFINE "victory". Rah rah. Go team. Assholes.

12. I am having a cognitive breakdown.

There is that guy, with his bullshit beret and cutoff jean jacket and beard and PONYTAIL. With the people who make all these noises about "hippies".

I'm confused. Really confused.
