My trip to D.C. to counter the communists
Jon Alvarez October 26, 2003
I returned from Washington, D.C. late Saturday night after a whirlwind trip in which I drove 800 miles within a twenty-four hour period. I joined other patriots in our nation's capitol as it came under renewed assault from the anti-American, communist-backed group known as A.N.S.W.E.R. Now why on earth would I drive so far, leaving the comforts of my home, simply to be verbally assaulted by a group of left-wing wackos? The answer is simple; I made this trip to show my support for our president, our troops, and our country.
I also made this trip to show the nation and the world that these leftist protesters do not speak for me. I could not in good conscience sit by and allow for them to march unopposed, spewing their venomous hatred not only for President Bush, but also for our country. They do not represent mainstream America, despite the attempts of the mainstream media to lead us to believe otherwise. What the media fails to report is that the primary backer of the anti-war rallies has been the group A.N.S.W.E.R., a conglomerate of communist organizations. I was saddened to see some young children and teens marching with these people, unaware of what they stand for. The majority of the professionally made signs held by the anti-war protesters were stamped "International Socialist Organization." Enough said.
What else did the media fail to report? They did not report that this anti-war protest was deemed a huge failure. A.N.S.W.E.R. had estimated their numbers to be approximately 100,000, yet I can attest that they had no more than 10,000 people in attendance. Furthermore, I have heard reports that their event in San Francisco attracted only several hundred supporters. This is very good news in that it shows that their movement is losing supporters as their anti-American agenda becomes more visible.
<snip> Hats off to the D.C. Police Department for handling this event in a most professional manner.There was zero police presence at our initial rally point as there was no need for one. We did have to flag down an officer to remove one "peace" protester who tried to disrupt our singing of "God Bless America" as we concluded our rally. Several others stopped by early on and vandalized the porta-potties we had rented for our event. It was quite a contrast to the policepresence necessary along the route of the anti-war protesters as there was a large police presence in combat gear. As we proceeded up Pennsylvania Avenue to our second rallypoint, we received numerous thumbs up displays from these blue knights in body armor. It was nice to see that they appreciated our presence on the field of battle that day. <more>
