Pro-Troop Rally and Discussions with God

Motoring south to DC , I wasn’t sure what to expect this weekend outside of meeting Sonlitknight, Snooper and Paul Couturier. Between the three of us, we planned to cover the IVAW events and the pro-troop rally sponsored by Eagles Up, Move America Forward, and GOE. My work schedule only permitted time for me to follow the Pro Troop rally on Saturday. My apprehension turned into delight, as I listened to the speakers and followed the crowd along the avenue. As the day rolled along, I was happy to have shared this experience with Sonlightknight and Paul.

What makes an event memorable are the people you interact with and this day was unusual in the diversity personalities I encountered.

Chester County Courthouse Protest

This past Saturday, I attended a small Pro-Victory rally which countered the Anti-everythings from Chester County. I also use the protest as an opportunity to work with my new Canon MiniDV, the results were put together into a small video for your perusal.

For those interested photos from the event are posted on FLICKR

DC Vlog ~ Gathering of Eagles

I was a tired blogger when I filmed this vlog. The video was shot with the Canon ZR-830, the lighting was whatever light I had turned on and natural sunlight.

This Gathering of Eagles had quite a different tone than the past two events. The Eagles certainly got the attention of Code Pink and ANSWER, and I’m curious to see how these groups respond. You know it is quite rude to throw a party then show up two hours late! As in March, the moonbats were scarce on the mall prior to their march. An excuse given for the lateness of their march was of a delay on the metro’s Orange and Blue lines. Funny, the Orange line was working well when we traveled from the hotel to the Mall. I also heard reports of a ‘soup kitchen’ set up to give anyone who showed up a sandwich and a lovely yellow sign to carry around that day.

As promised, I posted my photos to Flickr for your perusal. In less than an hour of posting the photos, I had my first moonbat commentor. Oh let the fun begin!

Mr. SnuggleBunny

I discovered this video via Guidons and The People’s Cube

Watching the video, I recognized one of the silly moonbats featured in this video. It is the samee guy/girl that I spoke to during the March 17th Gathering of Eagles. I recognized him/her from a Zombie Time gallery and so Iwalked up to him/her and asked if he/she lived around Berkely and liked to protest in the nude.

Yes, I do these things.

He/She is the blonde, bearded and breasted one in this Zombie photo

Below is the photo I took of him/her at the March 17th GOE Rally.

What a small world….I wonder if he/she will show up for the September 15th GOE rally? This eccentric individual is quite affable in person, and why he/she supports a movement approved by radical islamists is beyond me. He/She would be the first to be beheaded under shar’ia law. My side is fighting to protect the lifestyle of this individual. What is their disconnect in understanding this simple principle?

Michelle Malkin: Answering ANSWER

Michelle Malkin stands with the Eagles, and so will I.

As retired Army Col. Harry Riley explains, “Unlike the 60s and 70s, the anti-war lemmings will not have the streets or the political stage to themselves. This time, Eagle Americans — we who support our troops, understand the stakes in the War on Terror and the true nature of our enemy, who aren’t blinded by an insane hatred of our way of life and our form of government — will also be in Washington, D.C., to show Congress that we will not tolerate another betrayal of our own forces or our allies…While the anti-democracy forces are well-funded by pro-left, anti-Americans, we Eagles have steadily been building our own coalition to stop ANSWER in its tracks, and keep Congress focused on winning the war, not their political ambitions.”

See you in DC!

Upcoming GOE Events

America Supports You Freedom Walk – September 9, 2007

TASK FORCE EAGLE – September 15, 2007

I hope to see many of my blogging compatriots at one or both of these events.

Sheehan VS GOE

The Mother of Casey Sheehan opines on her vision of a peaceful harmonious world:

It is about time us “peasants” (in the eyes of the Fascist Ruling Elite) march on DC with our “pitchforks” of righteous anger and our “torches” of truth to demand the ouster of BushCo. I have a dream of the detention centers that George has built and filled being instead filled with Orange Clad neo-cons and neo-connettes.

It sounds more like a fascists’ wet dream of America.

I’m sure the first people she would throw in these ‘detention centers’ would be the membership of the Gathering of Eagles.

The mother of Casey Sheehan has repeatedly encountered Eagles at every speaking venue in the past few weeks. At each event, she cut short her speaking engagement, complained about the Gathering of Eagles then promptly redeployed herself and her minions. You can read about her exploits here:

Charlottesville, Va
Columbus, Ga
Philadelphia, Pa
Union Square, NYC

Apparently the Eagles have touched a nerve with the Mother of Casey Sheehan. A recent blog entry posted on michaelmoore.com she had this to say about the Eagles:

”At the School of the Assassins in Columbus, GA, and in Charlotte, NC, we ran into similar problems: police presence that seemed to be there to foster violence. At both places the neo-Nazi, pro-war fascist group “Gathering of Eagles” came out to mostly try to intimidate us from our mission,”

There are days when it is good to be an Eagle.

You can take the actions of the Mother of Casey Sheehan as an object lesson of why the Democrat plan of cutting & running from Iraq is an atrocious idea. Whenever she came in contact with the Eagles, she prompty cut and ran. Did it stop the Eagles in their tracks? Oh hell NO! Quite the opposite, it emboldened the membership to organize counter rallys at all of her public speaking engagements. Chris Hill, National Director of GOE summed up the departure of the Mother of Casey Sheehan in Philadelphia by observing “It was a win, pure and simple.”

Conversly, the Democrats plan to redeploy troops from Iraq will be considered by terrorists as a ‘win, pure and simple.’

It does make one pause to consider what side, precisely, the democrats are supporting.

The Two Tales of One Protest

July 24th:The Mother of Casey Sheehan hosts “American Hatefest – Philly Style”.

Well, I’m sure that was what the Metro really wanted to title this report. It is interesting to note the number of Eagles reported by the author Josh Cornfield is this little expose:

While Lutz and about 15 others from the Gathering of Eagles made sure to have their voices heard, yesterday’s rally in front of the Independence Visitors Center was for the most part a chance for orange-clad protesters to let the world know they think Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should be impeached.

Chris Hill ,GOE National Director for Operations, made the following observations about the events of the day.

It was a win, pure and simple.

By the time Cindy arrived we numbered around 40 and the opposition was around 100. That, of course, meant they were completely out-numbered. With air horns and loud voices we challenged Cindy as she took the place of dishonor. Within a minute she was directly responding to my challenges, and 2 to 5 minutes later she was gone, citing security concerns.

The weather was perfect, the brothers and sisters amazing. Eagle Tom Murtha, a Marine who served a year in Korea and better than three tours in Vietnam, summed up the day with a perfect retort to a challenge of, “Why don’t you join the Army if you like the war so much?”

“Lady,” he replied, “I’m a Marine who has 4 years of combat service, and you ain’t doing to these guys what you did to us.” No my brothers and sisters, they will not. Manchu.

Unable to counter the Eagles present at the Constitution Center, the anti-everything protesters scurried away to take position at Broad and Vine Streets – just in time for me to bump into them after work. It was a tough day to be a moonbat. As you can see in the photos below, their numbers were thin to the point of being anorexic. One could not ignore the air of depression and despair around this few stalwarts – they simply did not look happy or sane.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th!

588 Troops Re-Enlist in Iraq on July 4th

Regardless of the tough conditions in Iraq for coalition forces, almost 600 U.S. troops opted to re-enlist on July 4 at Baghdad’s Camp Victory.The U.S. military also said that 161 troops were naturalized as U.S. citizens in the ceremony, which took place at the Al Faw Palace.”This morning we pay tribute to the American ideals we all hold so dear in several significant ways,” Army Gen. David Petraeus said before administering the oath of enlistment.

Danny Dietz Memorial Sculpture Dedicated in CO.

The sculpture was unveiled today in Berry Park, Littleton, CO. The design of this sculpture had the local anti-war/ant-american yokels in a snit due to the figure holding a gun. Some went so far as to suggest a redesign the sculpture into a ‘peace dove’.

Only in Colorado.

A fellow Eagle was present at the unveiling and took the follow photos of the memorial. You can view them at this link:

Gathering of Eagles/Rolling Thunder Rally..Con’t

Same warning as yesterday’s post.

Welcome Flopping Aces visitors – thanks for stopping by MidnightBlue.

Kevin Martin – coined the term “Politichicken” in his rousing speech during the rally.

A moment to pause and reflect upon the sacrifices made by veterans to protect our precious freedom.

Dr. Irene Trowell-Harris RN, ED.D Major General, Retired, Director of Center for Women Veterans spoke to the crowd gathered to support our troops and honor our veterans.

Kit Jarrell performs an original song at the rally. Let me tell you – the girl can sing!!

There are some in the halls of Congress and in the media that would like to erase this moment and replace it with a “Blame America First” memory.

Notice that Democrats talk of ending the War – not WINNING the war on terror.
The difference is everything.
