[StBernard] U.S. Capital Protest in Detail

[Westley Annis]

About two million????  That was NOT reported by ANY of the networks,
including Fox.  Very impressive pictures...no arrests or if so very
few....all workers and law abiding citizens.  Sure hope it does some good. -

  Here the real skinny, but not from the San Antonio Express-News, on that
mass demonstration and historical event at the U.S. Capitol building in WDC
on this past Saturday, 9-12-09.  Notice the vast majority of the signs and
posters.  They do not appear as a commercial production, like those you see
at ACORN - SEIU sponsored pro-Obama rallies we have seen thusfar.  Note that
the link a few lines down is for the source web page.  This is true
reporting.  And in my opinion, this is one e-mail that deserves the widest
possible circulation ........................

  Conservative Woodstock Rocks the Capital 

  Patriotic anti-big-government taxpayers blast through the million
protester mark 

  September 12, 2009, Washington, D.C.

  ABC News reports that two million Americans flooded D.C. in what people in
the crowd were calling "a conservative Woodstock" Like the liberal Woodstock
of the '60s, thousands were rumored stranded on freeways. Some walked in to
DC, ditching their cars and busses. I walked with a 5 deep 6 block long
column of protesters from Pennsylvania Avenue who had walked miles from
where they had to leave their busses. Networks including Fox News continued
through the time I'm writing this at 8 p.m. local Eastern time reporting
that "tens of thousands" showed up. Whasup with that?  When will we get some
reliable reporting out of the corporate media types? 

  This event had been promoted as a taxpayer "tea party" but the crowd's
concerns were wide ranging, from outrage at ACORN and Obama's socialist
cadre known as Czars, to Obama's untruthfulness. Protesters also displayed
signs mocking Nancy Pelosi and others for smearing the grassroots movement
as "astroturfers" and as an angry mob. 



  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 bullriding 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.

  World's #1 Crypto-Marxist. Endorsed by Fidel Castro: "The most powerful
progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency." - GRANMA, Havana, May 26,
2008  

  Dictator Castro did indeed endorse Obama! Note that he used the word
progressive to describe Barack? Well that's because the Libs gave the word
liberal such a bad smell by their behavior and policies over the years that
they had to abandon it. They started referring to themselves as progressives
and figured no one would notice the word's communist pedigree. It means
progress on the road to socialism and Castro understands it that way. Well
shazzam Martha, look at that! The president really is a progressive just
like NPR says !!

  Nancy Pelosi has accused patriotic tea-party goers of "carrying swastikas"
implying that they are Nazi sympathizers or worse. This event was knee deep
in hammers and sickles and words like "socialist" "communist" and "Marxist".
It continues to fascinate me how the Democrat Party tolerates this without
ever commenting on it. When will the MSM ask the questions about his The
High One's communist buddies and endorsers? And why do people who absolutely
loath the USA, like Castro, Chavez, Ortega, and Michael Moore worship at the
alter of Obama? Well at least the communists who endorse him have no qualms
about telling it like it is. 

  Ever present at Tea Parties are Sons of Liberty re-enactors. 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.

  Much to everyone's surprise (those that don't know better), the message
yesterday was one of unity to our government:  STOP!  YOU WORK FOR US!
