[Mishmash] Fw: Pictures from DC

Tue Sep 15 12:59:06 CDT 2009

National Park Service and some media reporting 1,800,000 to 2,000,000
million people participating In Washington DC Meeting, Saturday, 9-12-09. 
Park Service person said “it is probably the largest rally in DC ever”.

I think this gathering should be appreciated as the extremely important
historical event that it is. This is the first great conservative
anti-statist manifestation in American history. The conservative movement,
which developed in the post-WWII, Cold War environment has now fully matured
into the most significant political movement of the 21st century. I believe
that this day could be referred to in the not too distant future as the day
that changed America . This was the day the great silent conservative
majority finally found its voice.   
Many of the attendees were quite meek and timid and were unsure of exactly
what to expect, this being the first time in their lives they’d been
involved in a protest movement. Their fears evaporated early in the day and
I saw people reveling in the camaraderie , the joy and sheer civility that
was exhibited at the entire event. Chants of “Freedom, freedom, freedom”,
“No more czars! No more czars!” carried through the air without the
slightest hint of rancor or incivility which is the norm at the leftist
rallies I have photographed over the years.  

The two photos above show a tiny fraction of the two million ABC estimates
attended. I saw signs and heard lots of comments comparing this event to
Woodstock . At the time this photo was taken, around 1:00 p.m. ,
Pennsylvania Avenue was still jammed completely, and the mall was packed
from the Capitol Building past the Washington Monument . See aerial photos
here. 

Protesters came from every state in the union. This man came from San
Antonio , TX . He said that he was really sorry he hadn’t brought his family
 He stated that being a black conservative he was afraid to expose his
children to what he expected would be a lot of liberal abuse. He was
thrilled with the tenor of the event and the fact that no liberals were
present to harass him. He spoke about how incredibly intolerant the left is
to black individuals who don’t bow to the party line. 
 These Ohioans took a day off their rodeo bull riding schedule. They said
they’ll be back at it tomorrow. 
Mike Pence (R-Indiana) was one of the speakers who addressed the crowd:
“After years of fighting runaway government on this hill, you people look
like the cavalry to me..I believe we are on the verge of a great American
awakening.” 
San Diego radio host Mason Weaver said from the podium: “I came here because
I thought you might want to hear a black man speak without a
teleprompter
This government is trying to make a nation of dependent people.
Americans have always been independent people
This is not a Republican thing
 it’s not a Democrat thing. It’s not a black thing or a white thing. It’s an
American thing
We the people are telling them ‘No more! We’ve had enough!” 
In the very center of the photo, above the Silence is Consent – Can You Hear
Us Now sign, you can see Pennsylvania Ave. , which at this time is totally
blocked with protesters who cannot move forward to the Capitol area. Sorry,
full up. 
There were notable differences though, in the behavior of these attendees.
Although the legend of Woodstock is that there was a friendly atmosphere of
camaraderie, the truth is that most people were there for the drugs, sex and
rock and roll. Today in D.C. there was a true kinship amongst these people
based on shared values and intellectual understanding of what America is and
how its future is imperiled by big radical government. 
No one was having sex in the Reflecting Pool let alone the mud, and I saw no
one projectile vomiting on the steps of the Capitol. There were no warnings
to avoid the bad acid which would send you on a trip to the hospital. Not
just a different era, but a different level of civilized behavior and
thought. Oh, and by the way, these people didn’t leave tons of garbage
behind when they left. Actually they left no trash behind at all. 
 Obama Lied, Capitalism Died. 

We are the mob! 

Support Class Envy! Redistribute Wealth. 
 Madam Speaker: Kiss Our Astroturf! 

The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Obama Himself     – - –    Compassion is
Voluntary, Not Compulsory! 

WALNUT – Workers Against Lazy Non-Producers United Together — the
conservative answer to ACORN. Didn’t have to ask them if they were receiving
any taxpayer money like radical left-wing ACORN. Different DNA! 

Proud members of the “Angry Mob” and they’re armed with their votes. 

Your wallet
the only place Democrats are willing to drill!  – Don’t share my
wealth – share my work ethic! 

Right-wing extremist armed with the constitution. 

Who are the commie czars? 

Marxism – the opiate of the asses – Posters from the Peoples Cube are
proliferating amongst protesters. 

Stop Making Profit! — Report all Capitalist Activities to flag at Whitehouse

World’s #1 Crypto-Marxist. Endorsed by Fidel Castro: The most powerful

Nancy Pelosi has accused patriotic tea-partiers of “carrying swastikas”
implying that they are Nazi sympathizers. This event was wall to wall
hammers and sickles and words like “socialist” “communist” and “Marxist” etc
 It continues to fascinate me how long the Democrats will tolerate this
without ever commenting on it. Either they like it, or there’s something to
it.  

Ever present at Tea Parties are Sons of Liberty reenactors. The couple on
the left is from Tennessee and the young lady on the right is not but she
joined in the photo. The clothing for the couple was hand stitched by the
lady on the left. And boy do they love America ..
