It's funny. Last night I didn't sleep much. I didn't think I'd be able to get up that early, but I was awake before my 5:30 alarm.

I had a bad feeling, that I'd be heading into the belly of the beast. Once I arrived, however, the feeling had gone away. I wasn't put off by being so heavily outnumbered, mainly because the opposition was so silly. And I have to say, 90% of them were pretty good-natured, and the ones who weren't didn't get in my face. I guess being six feet tall and 300lbs has its advantages.

There were lots of slogans from the lefties, but only one really made my blood run cold:

"Welfare rights are human rights!"

Welfare rights. The "right" to the fruit of another's labor, without compensation, in other words: slavery. This from a person who may have descended from slaves.

We may have been outnumbered, but if you count aggregate brain cells, we had 'em two to one.

It was good meeting everybody, and I hope to do it again.
