Gathering of Eagles web site has announced that ANSWER and their ilk have cancelled their planned March 15,2008 protest.

They are instead planning to protest during General Petraeus’ April testimony on Capitol Hill.

At least it will be warmer in April!

SUPER MEGA PING LIST

Looks like ANSWER couldn’t take the heat in the kitchen and got out.

We are affecting their plans by our “boots on the corner”.

.......Dissent against dissent is so mean spirited......

Those were nearly the precise words of a college young Republican leader urging his colleagues not the demonstrate against ANSWER.

Time to start a ‘college young Conservatives’ group.

Actually there are several conservative college groups. We have enjoyed their company at Walter Reed on many a Friday night. Since they are primarily around when school is in, they come when it is cold out. Great bunch of young adults.

I know....I was taken aback by the strong words that actually cowed the conservatives at the gathering.

They can no longer even gather enough people to put on a decent outdoor protest, so they are going to stick to a handful of hardcores to cause a disturbance in the hearing room.

Yawn.

When & where did the college GOP leader say that? Just curious.

Did he persuade the other GOPers?

Actually it’s the revolutionary Communist Party front group World Can’t Wait that turns out in big numbers at the Ron Paul events. That’s what happened in Philadelphia.

I am not changing my plans. I am still going. I have a feeling that they are sending out disinformation because they don't want their day ruined like it was last year. There are some people who have this on their radar. Just stay tuned because this may be a trick.

Even if they don't show up, I am sure there will be a Walter Reid FReep on Friday night that I can attend and plenty of sites in DC to see for the rest of the weekend. I hope they show because I want another fight with them.

People who cut and run stand on my last nerve. Why do they have to do that. If they believe in what they believe in then stand and fight for it. But no, they gotta cut and run. wimps.

From what I hear, they withdrew their permit requests.

But that won’t stop small groups from being there. Groups under 24 do not need a permit. So we’ll have to keep an eye on their web sites and respond quickly, in our own small groups of course.

It will be good though to see you on the 14th at WR.

Their dissent is not honest and reasonable. Their dissent is not intended to bring us back to our core beliefs, because they don’t share our core beliefs. It’s a propoganda ploy pure and simple.

From reading GoE and some posts there, looks like there will be something going on in April. But also it looks like a lot of people are still coming into D.C. for the Winter Soldier anti-troop events. So stay tuned.

A massive protest like last March is what appears to be what has been canceled.
