I attended and it was a great time! Lots of hardware on American hip and thighs. What a bunch of Patriots! Dave 'ole Olson and his family did a great job in organizing the event.

Firearms and personal weapons, but no real guns dragged across the Potomac. I keep hoping.

Attention: This is the only sort of non-violent exhibition that has a chance of changing the situtation.

Everyone must, *must* remember: These people don't react to duty, honor, or reason. They react to the viable threat of force, and nothing else.

Nothing.

Nice, I like armed citizens making a point. One armed would be a nut according to the media
but hundreds is an absolute exercise of freedom.

If we are going to Unchain the Constitution and lay hold of true liberty again we need to start with these things...

1.) Constitutionally minded men and women MUST stand up and run for office at all levels of local, state and federal government.

2.) The remainder of the patriots MUST actively and financially support them.

3.) VOTE for them

Anything short of this in overwhelming numbers and we might never have another election ater 2010.

Now is the time. THIS IS IT.

I agree. I also am encouraged by groups like the Oathkeepers. Zero has to get the message that the military and law enforcement will be watching his every move.

If they are just rallies, you are probably right, they need to be taken to the next level, providing solutions, instructing the attendees in political activism, working on campaigns, etc.

Pictures?

I’m sure that this would go over really big up here in Maine, especially around Portland or down around Boston, MD, or NJ.

They’d probably call out the National Guard on you!

We’d like to think that we have at least two more boxes of tricks to redress our grievances - the ballot box for one.
Thanks to ACORN, the SEIU and corrupt communist bureaucrats in charge of the election system in most places though, that has been largely neutralized, and our overlords know it - which is why they don’t seem to care a flip about what we think, want, or need.

That leaves the American people with the last box of Liberty that our Founders left to us; the box of last resort....

The cartridge box.

I’m afraid that when the 2010 elections are blatantly, obscenely stolen by the Obamanoids (again), we’re going to see that last old box opening up big time. That’s assuming, of course, that we are even allowed to have elections any more.

The Vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored is full to running over again; they are ripe to the point of rotten and are beginning to stink.

It is way over due for another good trampling out - yet how I dread it.

That old Tree of Liberty is likewise over due for another full manuring with the vintage’s abundant crimson flood.

May our eyes live long enough to behold the Glory...

I guess that depends on who they are.

If you are talking about the MS Media you are probably correct.

But if you are talking about your local politicians, your local media and local representatives to Congress, in my opinion they ignore you at their peril.

Resent elections have been lost by much thinner margins than the 600 citizens at this event.

If you got a real gun, you don't NEED to drag it across the Potomac.

I think it’s good for the anti-gunners to show up peacefully. For them to stand among people packing heat and come to the realization that they would indeed escape the scene with their lives intact is a good thing.

Probably not, but they learn they can show up where guns are carried and still get out alive.

These events may make some would-be protesters more comfortable around guns. I’m thinking here of true anti-gunners who really fear guns, not those who take the anti-gun position for political reasons.

The safest place in an American city you can be — with hundreds of armed Tea Partiers. We need more of them throughout the Nation.

It’s not just to gain legistator attention. These events are a great way for constitutional conservative candidates to get their voices heard and build relationships with neighbors. And for constitutional neighbors to get to know each other.

VERY Constructive for local organization and my campaign.

I believe the entire event is behind a Romulan cloaking device, because I haven't heard the slightest peep. Of course, I don't watch Fringe Media, so I may have missed it.

Any FReepers here who have a strong enough stomach to watch the state-run media propaganda-casts and let us know if they're even mentioning this?

“the only solution is to impeach/remove Obama from our white house.”

The infection goes MUCH deeper than Zero. He's just the puss head of the issue. Marxist at ALL levels of government must be expelled from their offices on Constitutional grounds. The basis will be their oath, the constitution and their public actions (voting history on bill, co-sponsorship, authoring of bills and public statements).

A pattern of unconstitutional behavior needs to be enough to get you expelled from office.

In the Constitution:
**Article 6 demands that our elected officials be bound by their oath to uphold the Constitution.
**Article 1, sec 5 Provides for expulsion of members based on disorderly conduct.
**Article 4, sec 4 Declared the federal gov. will guarantee a Republican form of government and will protect the states from domestic assault.

These are the tools we use to prove unconstitutional, disorderly conduct (their actions inhibit orderly constitutional government proceedings) by Marxist officials and by their own public demonstrations, root them out.

We can accomplish this ONLY is a two thirds majority is elected in both houses. My the Lord bless our initiatives.
