Herd’s are descriptive of sheep. Driven from place to place to feed on what is placed before them, sheared of what value they have, and eventually killed and eaten for their loyalty. You know, like the typical befuddled straight Democratic party voter.

These protesters are anything but docile sheep. They are angry, protective of their home and family. They are showing their fangs, roaring, and are a fierce foe to those who would foolishly confront or screw with them.

No, the correct term for them is a Pride.

Should that word be spelled “herd”?

THe MSM’s philosophy is if they do not cover it, nothing happened. They can avoid an elephant in a kitchen, but not a heard in a house!

It really doesn’t matter what the msm reports. Those of us who were there know that there has NEVER been a gathering like this before! It was an honor and privilege to share this experience with others who feel that the government is screwing us into the ground.

The word has gotten out through the efforts of the blogosphere like our friends here at Flopping Aces.

Keep up the good work! One day the libs are going to wake up and find that they have been kicked to the curb and they will stand there, scratching their little pointed heads wondering what happened!

Thanks, FA!

I read CNN…There was no TeaParty, nor was anyone at the Mall.

Problem is that we may never know. I saw reports of 1.5+, but LGF is reporting 50-70,000. Just from the pictures that looks way to low. And we’ll never have a number from the MSM either, remember the German “beer/rock fest” that the “O” gave his European speech? Remember the reporters stated 20,000 then a commercial break, and the number went to 200,000+, and that number was thrown around like it was gospel. If it’s a Dem/lib/progressive, the MSM adds a “zero”, 5 numbers become 6 figures, 6 figures become 1 million+. Conservative/rep/patriots, take a zero (or two) away.

Me… I just go with “There was allot of freaking people there!”

Quick and dirty estimate:

PA avenue was covered from Freedom Plaza to the Capital; that is about 1 mile (WH to Capitol 1.2 miles) of people on a street 6 lanes wide or 80 ft from Google data. A mile is 5280 ft x 80 ft at 2.5 sq feet per person (Obama’s inauguration number for the mall) gives us over 168,960 people just there at any one time. This human traffic lasted for 3 hours from the media. With the average human walking speed of 3 miles per hour, that is 168,960 people passing a point every 33 minutes or over 3 hours being 9 x 168,960 = 1,520,640. Although, like me not all people started at Freedom Plaza. Many went directly to the Capitol for good “seats” and not all came down PA Ave. The police also asked the protesters to leave the plaza two hours early. Nor does it count the time after 12:30 when people were still arriving or the people on the sidewalks along PA Ave. So the number of 1.5 million may be low.

Mike’s America, your photo looks like some third world country street scene after a riot except I can notice the Washington Monument in the background and the buildings on the left are not smoking ruins.

The trashing of America began at the last Inaugural both literally and figuratively. Even the poorest of Eastern European or Balkan Countries have more pride in the appearance of their Public thoroughfares.

I was there and it was a day I will never forget. And if we must, we will go down there again, this time MILLIONS AND MILLIONS will come. It’s in the air. It’s a revolution by the people…we are going to take this country back..WE OWN THE DOME.

And what do you bet that this crowd left the Capitol much cleaner than when they got there. Unlike the Obamatons who trashed the place after Obama’s “Green” Inaugural (see photo below):

P.S. Skye, I had a feeling you might be among the million!

A round of applause in appreciation for your eye-witness account of the 9-12 DC Rally: narrative, photos, and video…especially the coining of the “Conservative Woodstock.”
