Thanks for the post. This is the kind of thing I browse free-republic to find, things I’m interested in that I’d never get from the main-stream media.
I loved the report too....thank you for taking the time to write and share it.
It is the kind of report that we will NEVER see in our local newspapers.
There were a couple of things that struck me about the march itself. First, that some parents dragged their young children along, children who likely didnt know what the fuss was all about. One young girl who looked to be about eight years old was among a line of marchers tied together in solidarity. She looked terrified and who could blame her? With all the noise, shouting, and angry people surrounding her, I know I truly felt sorry for her, and angry at the parent who forced her to take part in something so so uncouth. Unfortunately, she was not the only frightened, confused child I saw. I thought of my children, ages 14 and 11, who I left at home, determined they shouldnt be at such an event until they are both much older and freely willing to take part.”
Further, they made a chain of kids, holding hands, with a few adults sprinkled in the chain. The chain was taken along the perimeter between the communists and the patriots. Can you say “human shields, anyone”?
It was difficult to watch.
Thanks for the post.
I was blessed to be there to participate in this event.
I too was shocked at the people using their kids as shields. As we were waiting for the moonbats to start their parade, a man came over to our corner and started chanting USA sucks w/ a very small child on his sholders. Of course we could not say anything to him since this very very small child was on his sholders looking afraid. So I went over to the police officers, who by the way, did a wonderful job at keeping the peace, and told them about the situation. They kindly removed him.
This man was a coward, a yellow bellied coward, just like the rest of them. It was sickening to watch.
The rally received a surprise visitor Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA). Hunter, who is also a presidential candidate, received a warm welcome. His speech included quotes from Ronald Reagans 1981 inaugural address, as well as his own father (who was a Marine) and his son, Duncan Jr., who is a Marine who served in Iraq and is now serving in Afghanistan. He was, notably, the only elected representative to make an appearance.
B4DH!!!!
This speaks volumes about the integrity of Duncan Hunter. He was the ONLY elected representative to make an appearance!
Not only that, he showed up at 2 other Fight For Victory Tour events and spoke to the crowd in support of our troops.
Duncan Hunter has always made our troops one of his top priorities and for GOOD reason. Our nation needs to stand STRONG in the face of the terrorists.
WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN! WE WILL NOT SURRENDER! TOWARD VICTORY!
And a Job Well Done!
