DAY 8: Minuteman Caravan to D.C. - 7pm rally tonight in Greensboro, NC (Canceled!)

Live report from Greensboro! Lyman phoned @ 7:35 p.m.EST.

The Minutemen and a crowd of supporters are ACROSS THE STREET from the American Furniture Warehouse. Lyman used his PA system built in to The Spirit of Allegiance to lead the crowd in the pledge to the American flag. Beautiful!

They are at this moment having speakers and going ahead with the rally even though the un-American Furniture Co. was so rude in their inhospitality. Instead, the furniture company is hosting about 40 marxist pro-invader protestors.

Needless to say, there are lots of media present hoping to get footage of a "conflict." Or, lacking that, they'll do their specialty of spinning.

The reason the Caravan cancelled the Rally in the park was that opponents picked up location information from the 'net or wherever and beat them to getting a permit.

Lyman calls this situation a symbol of the larger "turf battle" going on in this nation.

GO MINUTEMEN AND MINUTEWOMEN!!! AMERICAN PATRIOTS, UNITE AND STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

It's a sad day when the bad guys have more clout than the good guys.

Isn't it sickening to see how widely and pervasively America is infected by degenerate liberalism?!

[Syncro]

Not a reason to cancel. Typical inflammatory Straw man headlines by AP.

[Syncro]

Well they can have a rally anywhere they want.

After all a precedent was set May 1. If illegal non-citizens can rally by the tens of thousands and shut down businesses and streets why can't a few hundred patriotic citizens have a little impromptu rally?

Viva La USA!

[La Enchiladita]

VIVA! VIVA!

[stopem]

YES! Definitely and socialism.

[TheLion]

Thanks for the report!

If we can find out that the furniture company hires illegal aliens, it is time to report them to ICE. And, out them on WeHireAliens.com.

Permits were not obtained for using the Downtown Courthouse plaza today in Greensboro

This is a ploy used to thwart the sawgrass rebellion organizers. It deeply affected the sawgrass people and their ability to rally. Be forwarned.

[doug from upland]

About 80-100 patriots showed up across from where the illegals were at the furniture store. Perhaps the public pressure changed the owner's mind --- he let the good guys on the property. There was a lot of police protection there. A few in the media were asking favorable questions.

Jim Gilchrist on the phone. Here is his quote: With God as our lead, we faced Satan tonight, and Satan backed down.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Please tell Jim we ALL appreciate what they're doing!!!!

[La Enchiladita]

Thanks, Jim. Hurrah for Jim Gilchrist!!

Hurrah for the Minutemen and Minutewomen all!!!

[antceecee]

"Reckless talk about impeaching the President does nothing to remedy the problem of the illegal invasion, or to secure the borders. Please do not bring negative attention to our cause and our thread by doing so."

You are absolutely right. I should not have said that.

It reflects the frustration that Middle America feels.

No. Impeachment is not even a consideration. President Bush needs and deserves our full support. He has mine.

I myself should take the advice that I have passed out so freely:

Do not let anger and frustration cloud your judgment.

Vote Republican!

Support President Bush!

And remember: 9/11 was never repeated--thanks to President G. W. Bush and his expert leadership.

Thank you, La Enchiladita, for bringing sound judgment and good will to the forum.

I apologize to all for doing the opposite.

[nicmarlo]

you around?

[antceecee]

Just saw this LOL!
VIVA VIVA VIVA....
