Protests in Washington DC Attract Tens of Thousands
Let’s see them ignore this turn out

I think this gathering should be appreciated as the extremely important historical event that it is. This is the first
great conservative anti-statist manifestation in American history. The conservative movement, which developed in the
post-WWII, Cold War environment has now fully matured into the most significant political movement of the 21st century.
I believe that this day could be referred to in the not too distant future as the day that changed America. This was the
day the great silent conservative majority finally found its voice.
Many of the attendees were quite meek and timid and were unsure of exactly what to expect, this being the first time in
their lives they’d been involved in a protest movement. Their fears evaporated early in the day and I saw people
reveling in the camaraderie, the joy and sheer civility that was exhibited at the entire event. Chants of “Freedom,
freedom, freedomâ€, “No more czars! No more czars!†carried through the air without the slightest hint of rancor or
incivility which is the norm at the leftist rallies I have photographed over the years.

The two photos above show a tiny fraction of the two million ABC estimates attended. I saw signs and heard lots of
comments comparing this event to Woodstock. At the time this photo was taken, around 1:00 p.m., Pennsylvania Avenue was
still jammed completely, and the mall was packed from the Capitol Building past the Washington Monument. See aerial
photos here.

Protesters came from every state in the union. This man came from San Antonio, TX. He said that he was really sorry he
hadn’t brought his family. He stated that being a black conservative he was afraid to expose his children to what he
expected would be a lot of liberal abuse. He was thrilled with the tenor of the event and the fact that no liberals were
present to harass him. He spoke about how incredibly intolerant the left is to black individuals who don’t bow to the
party line.

These Ohioans took a day off their rodeo bullriding schedule. They said they’ll be back at it tomorrow.
Mike Pence (R-Indiana) was one of the speakers who addressed the crowd: “After years of fighting runaway government on
this hill, you people look like the cavalry to me..I believe we are on the verge of a great American awakening.â€

San Diego radio host Mason Weaver said from the podium: “I came here because I thought you might want to hear a black
man speak without a teleprompter…This government is trying to make a nation of dependent people. Ammericans have always
been independent people…This is not a Republicaan thing, it’s not a Democrat thing. It’s not a black thing or a
white thing. It’s an American thing…We the people are telling them ‘No more! We’ve had enough!â€

In the very center of the photo, above the Silence is Consent – Can You Hear Us Now< sign, you can see Pennsylvania Ave., which at this time is totally blocked with protesters who cannot move forward to
the Capitol area. Sorry, full up.
There were notable differences though, in the behavior of these attendees. Although the legend of Woodstock is that
there was a friendly atmosphere of camaraderie, the truth is that most people were there for the drugs, sex and rock and
roll. Today in D.C. there was a true kinship amongst these people based on shared values and intellectual understanding
of what America is and how its future is imperiled by big radical government.
No one was having sex in the Reflecting Pool let alone the mud, and I saw no one projectile vomiting on the steps of the
Capitol. There were no warnings to avoid the bad acid which would send you on a trip to the hospital. Not just a
different era, but a different level of civilized behavior and thought. Oh, and by the way, these people didn’t leave
tons of garbage behind when they left. Actually they left no trash behind at all.

Nancy Pelosi has accused patriotic tea-partyers of “carrying swastikas†implying that they are Nazi sympathizers.
This event was wall to wall hammers and sickles and words like “socialist†“communist†and “Marxist†etc. It
continues to fascinate me how long the Democrats will tolerate this without ever commenting on it. Either they like it,
or there’s something to it.
