Despite weather forecasts of thunderstorms and rain, the skies were clear and beautiful -- but not as beautiful as this patriotic crowd of great Americans and Europeans. It was a real cross section of humanity .......... ever race, creed, color and religion were out in all their glory.
Robert and I were expecting 500; imagine our wonder when close to 5,000 showed up. This is just the beginning. We are going to sue to designate the Burlington building a war memorial. There is a large piece of an airplane in that building. That is a war memorial. Instead of a mega mosque at ground zero, let's build a 911 war memorial to the victims. The current plan for a 911 museum is several floors underground, like a dungeon. And the mosque plan calls for the mosque to be on the top floor, looking down triumphantly on the burial ground of Ground Zero.
I don't think so. The Burlington building must be a war memorial, an historic landmark. We will sue to make that happen. We will protest again in September and stage sit-ins in front of the mosque should they try to break ground. Three thousand good and decent Americans did not die in vain.
Thank God for Pamela and Robert.

A nice slide show here, but what I'm reading in the MSM is a crowd of "300!"

Just got back about an hour ago. What an incredible rally! We overflowed everything -- the pen, the sidewalks, the park, even the Burger King across the street. 2 1/2 solid hours of speakers, great signs, just wonderful and inspiring!
Pam and Robert are going by the police estimates, which I will trust over the MSM any day. When I got there at 9 am there were about 10 of us. Then after 11 am the place really started filling up and never stopped.
Took a stroll by the mosque and there was no one there, though apparently a few taqiyya peddlers were handing out glossy promo books about "Cordoba House". But no counter-protesters to speak of.
I'm just wrung out. Those damn highways between here and NYC get longer every year. More tomorrow.
May have some photos in a couple days.
Can't wait.

Ooops! Just got here RRA! Did you get one of the glossy books? I hope so? Can't wait to hear more. Disregard my beggings at the Pat Condell post, ... took me a while to get down here:)
