To defend our long-dead brothers;

On our Wall you leftie mothers."

SATURDAY, MARCH 17 2007 – The sun rises over the Nation’s Capital, reflecting off a light dusting of snow coating the National Mall. A cold rain had soaked the city the previous day, turning to sleet and then snow in the evening, before finally tapering off. Now the snow is rapidly disappearing under the bright morning sun, but a strong, steady breeze off the river is keeping the wind chill in the low 30s.
The weather may be cold, but things will definitely heat up in Washington before the day is done. Thousands of people from across the nation – some opposed to our military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, but many others supporting the troops – are converging on the National Mall. And hundreds of police officers from various jurisdictions will work overtime to keep them peacefully separated.
A few blocks to the north, I emerge from the underground Foggy Bottom Metro station, blinking against the bright sunlight. I’m dressed like a scruffy veteran, sporting a day-old beard, wrinkled clothing, a desert camouflage boonie hat, and a pair of cheap sunglasses. ...

“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft a-gley.”
“To a Mouse,” by Robert Burns
Yes, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. The bumbling Becker Brothers, bodacious bemoaning and bellowing of bellicose bromides of betrayal, beseeching bedlam and bilious behavior by bountiful billions of boneheaded, boorish, bothersome and boastful Black Bloc braggarts was bested by barricades bonded by brazen bands of brothers borne of boldness and backbone, belying the bogus belief that America the beautiful, bountiful bastion of bravery was dead.

The Communist front organization, International ANSWER, has spent many months, countless dollars and wasted political capital promoting what became a most momentous flop called “March on the Pentagon.” And for this day, and this day alone, the Gray Dog gloats. Today, it is ANSWER that proved to be “pathetic.” ...
***  Reflections on the Gathering of Eagles (Pt. III)
March 20th, 2007 by CJ
In my third and final installment, I'll take you to the march itself and share a few more photos.
The march kicked off at least an hour late. The reason for this was obvious: there weren't enough people. The longer the waited, the more the socialists trickled in. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for the Socialist presence, the peace movement wouldn't have moved anywhere. Add in the global warming crowd and it probably would have been a solo event. I found it quite ironic that the people who care so much about the environment were the ones responsible for all the trash in the streets as people threw down their literature throughout the route. ...
I promised everyone some breaking news with this post. It's not so much breaking anymore because I actually broke it on the Mark Levin radio show last night. I got close a few time to take some pictures but was quickly ushered back to the curb. At one point I was on the bridge crossing over towards Arlington. As I turned around and started walking back towards the curb, I looked out over the river and noticed the police boats in the water. A passing Metro train on a separate bridge caught my attention. It was head east away from the Pentagon. This was about 35 minutes into the march - enough time for the lead elements of the march to reach the Pentagon. The train seemed unusually packed, but I didn't pay much attention. Another train heading west wasn't as full. I kept looking towards the water and about ten minutes later another train headed east. Again, the train was full. That seemed odd since the Pentagon was a minimal manning due to the march and it being a weekend, but I passed it off and didn't really think anything of it. After awhile, Kit and I remarked at how impressively long the line of marchers was. I quickly turned around and waited for another train to cross the river. Sure enough, it was full too. ANSWER was repopulating the march by using the Metro to make it appear as if there more people. The media never bothered to report that either. The whole time I was wondering where all these people were coming from since they weren't there at the start of the march. Their bullpen never filled to capacity and only about 1000 or so people stuck around at the Pentagon to hear the speeches at the end of the march. They either weren't that dedicated enough to stay or there weren't that many people to begin with. ...
