The media elites are so blind. Where were they on civility for the past 8 years? Oh, yeah: They were part of the contributing problem.
“The election broke their brains”. That applied to liberal Democrats after the 2000 Election.

I just spent this lovely Sunday organizing and editing close to 500 photos from yesterday’s historic march in DC. I am still inspired by the sheer joy expressed by the million marchers in DC.Can we say this is the Woodstock for conservatives? Absolutely. I’d even say if MLK were alive, he would be out marching to the Capitol with the people and give a rocking speech.
Several impressions I took home from the Rally:
A million plus attendees is my estimate of the crowd size. Compare the official crowd estimator from the 2009 Inauguration (fig. 1) to the screen cap taken of the crowds (fig. 2) yesterday. I will say there were more patriots yesterday than fans at the January 20th inauguration. Metro police say 1.2 million and they would know a thing or two about crowd counts.
El Marco posted some great photos that speak to the size of this crowd.
I traveled to DC via a chartered bus from West Chester – I have to give kudos to Paula Stiles for taking the initiative to organize this bus trip. I must admit that it was good to be on the bus instead of being thrown under the bus. Our group arrived at Union Station and Dee and myself made our way to Freedom Square where we came upon a massive amount of people:
For a moment or two, I didn’t know where to start photographing. I got over that real quick and shot almost 500 photos on Saturday, not including video.

What a celebration of America was witnessed in West Chester, Pa. I have to give thanks to Carl from Delco Cruisers and Slim from Confederation of Motorcycles for arranging an impressive display of over 300 motorcycles and 25 classic cars. It was breathtaking – thank you so much for all you do!
Rich Davis organized a picture perfect rally and after party. As I told Mary Lou, a blue star mom, I always feel a thousand times happier attending a rally, this one went far and above any expectation. Kudos to Rich for making this day happen.
I wasn’t the only one feeling the love, a pedestrian walking past me observed out loud that he prefers our side of the street. I couldn’t agree more!
The rally attracted all kinds of attention, from near constant honks from passing motorists to a mysterious Moped motorist. Mr. Moped revisited our corner twice, with video camera in hand, and was greeted with cheers both times. We are just cool like that.
The sight of men in denim and leather caused bouts of abject terror with the left side of the street. The smallest of their bunch tried to instigate a fight, but Rich Davis wisely intervened and saved this person from an embarrassing situation.

Daily Local’s own gadfly about town actually showed up early for this rally, you can read his report HERE

I hope the FA Posse and our readers (those that celebrate this holiday) are enjoying this weekend. Yesterday I had the privilege of documenting a wildly successful Tea Party held on Independence Mall, right outside the building where the U.S. was brought into existence.
Got plans for July 4th? Live in or around Philly? The Tea Party 3 is not to be missed!
The Philly Tea Party this past April 18th was a remarkable success and the organizers want to keep the passion and conversation alive with Tea Party 3 – Independence Hall.

There is a lady in Arizona who has written a remarkable letter.
She submitted it to the host of a radio and television show.
From there, it has gone viral being shared around water coolers and through e-mail around the country.
Take the time to read the whole thing. You’ll be amazed to find that this lady, a fellow American citizen, has put the thoughts of many, if not all, of us into words.
Feel free to copy it and pass it along to your friends, relatives, and co-workers. E-mail it to everyone in your address book.
In the 1700’s there were pamphleteers. Today we have the Internet.
Read, enjoy, and pass it along.
I’m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you’re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

An outstanding Flag Day rally was held on the steps of the Chester County Courthouse today. About 150 patriots gathered to celebrate the Flag and nation it represents. Thank You Sheepdogs for making this day happen!
Special thanks to Rep Curt Schroder, Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh, Chris Hill and West Chester’s Mayor – Dick Yoder for taking time out of their hectic schedule to participate in this event. Videos of their speeches are posted below the fold. I’ve posted a few photos from the event for you to peruse. The complete set of photos can be found on FLICKR
UPDATE: The DLN published a great article on the Sheepdog’s Flag Day celebration. I congratulate Dan Kristie on confirming what many Sheepdogs had speculated – the CCPM is simply a political front, with no real interest in peace or supporting our troops:
Peace Movement leader Karen Porter said that, now that Barack Obama is president, many of the Peace Movement demonstrators feel they have accomplished their goal. “A lot of us have chosen to step back and let Obama do what he has to do,” Porter said.
Knights of Columbus Honor Guard:
The Sheepdogs gathered under overcast skies and soft rain – 30 in total – to celebrate what is good in America. Now how could anyone in West Chester call that radical? I love this hearty bunch of patriots!
Quentin is this week’s recipient of the Coin – Congratulations, Quentin!
The public never disappoints, and this week was no exception – the honks from the passing motorists was deafening.
Come join us! We celebrate America every Saturday at the corner of High and Market Streets in West Chester, Pa. 10:45 till Noon. See you there!
Here, Sir, the people govern….
A Tea Party that exceeded every expectation and renewed our passion to bring this country back to good. A brisk, windy day brought together nearly 400 patriots to express our frustration with the path our government has recklessly embarked upon. It was heartening to see many people laying down their silence and picking up a sign!
NOTE: No teleprompters were used during the rally.
Another Saturday, another celebration of what is good about America in West Chester, Pa. It is mind boggling that some would consider this a ‘radical’ activity. Well, perhaps so, in the age of Obama.
Rich brought out his MOAF (Mother of All Flags). It is a replica of Civil War flag carried by a Pennsylvania regiment.
Post celebration photo op. A little disorganized, but it only brings out the character of this hearty bunch. It was good to be in West Chester today.
Join us! Every Saturday on the corner of High and Market Streets in West Chester, Pa.
We rally to celebrate America starting at 10:45 till Noon.
Photo via: American Typo. He had this to say about the rally:
“Today, I had the opportunity to attend a protest in Seattle against the stimulus bill. It was an orderly affair with a few speeches, a recording of Ronald Reagan waxing on big government and a kumbaya moment singing the National Anthem. (Mind you, I like singing the National Anthem and the crowd was in pretty good tune. But it’s still kumbaya.)”
I love the grassroot appeal of these rallies – very Sheepdog like! Quite the Kodak moment we are witnessing. As Americans stand up to the reckless spending spree by the dem controlled government. For the past 8 years, you never saw a liberal organize a protest against spending by the Bush administration. They protested just about everything and anything, but never specifically government spending – unless it was directed at cutting military spending – the ‘slow bleed‘ campaign. Quite telling about the character of today’s liberal.
Michelle Malkin has more reports from the field.
What do you know about the ’stimulus’? Get the facts at NoStimulus!
Okay, I know it is a day late, some of us had plans on Valentine’s Day…..:)
Valentine’s Day ~ Sheepdog Style!
Throughout 2008, the Sheepdogs have consistently held rousing rallies in West Chester with the public increasingly showing their appreciation of our positive message. Our support of America does not end with the conclusion of the rally, as many Sheepdogs worked for and achieved remarkable goals in 2008. We can look back on our triumphs with pride and look forward to our future success.
The genesis of this video occurred a few weeks ago when a student approached Dee, one of our brilliant Sheepdogs, with a question as to why the Sheepdogs were so angry? Dee was quick to point out that we are the happy warriors, and to go look for the anger on the other side, cause it ain’t here. (paraphrased that last bit). After hearing this story from Dee, I’ve been kicking around ideas on how I could best project the joy and fellowship that occurs at each and every rally.
My hope with this video is to capture the essence of our joy and success in 2008 and to communicate it to the viewers. The Sheepdogs have made huge strides in turning the tide of public opinion in West Chester for 2008. This video is a celebration of all we have accomplished, and all we are yet to accomplish.
As we head into dark times with this new administration, we all can look to this video for encouragement and inspiration.
One rally at a time.
One smile at a time.
One accomplishment at a time will bring us success!

The Sheepdogs returned to the steps of the Chester County Courthouse with joy in our hearts and an abiding love for our nation. I can no longer describe this as a rally, as the Sheepdogs come together ever Saturday to celebrate America in West Chester. We represent the resilience and independence of Main Street America that does not surrender when times get tough – that is when we really shine. This is what makes America a nation like no other. Despite these difficult times, I’m proud of this nation and proud to be a Sheepdog.
WELCOME BACK RICH! Saturday marked the return of our fearless leader, Rich Davis, to the Sheepdog fold. He looked fit and happy to stand once again with the Sheepdogs. The Sheepdogs were a solid wall of Red, White and Blue on the steps of the Chester County Courthouse. Despite the global cooling we are experiencing, the Sheepdogs were happy to stand at the corner and celebrate America. All photos taken by the Magnificent Neocon
