Re: America Supports You - Freedom Walk!

I can't believe that no one in this town full of so-called "activists" -- all of whom are presumably outraged (as I am) by the draconian restrictions put upon real freedom by the Pentagon lifers who have organized the "Freedom Walk" -- is publicly planning to crash their fascist party and encouraging others to do so.

According to yesterday's Post article:
"Park Police officials said security and safety were concerns, especially because Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld will participate in some of the day's events. They said they have approved a permit for a small group of protesters that plans to stand along Independence Avenue."

Who are these people? Have they publicized their intentions? I don't see anything posted here.

Well, hell, I'm gonna go, you bet. And when the cops tell me I can't participate I'm gonna ask them how it feels to be America's stormtroopers for fascism. Is that what their profession has become? Are they proud to be a part of this desecration of the idea of freedom? Etc., etc, etc.

Then I'm gonna walk along the parade route, if that's possible, and hang out on the Mall during the concert with a sign denouncing the war and senseless sacrifice of the soldiers who are dying in it.

I'll be interested to see how they segregate the concert area near the Lincoln Memorial from all the tourists who will be there. I hope the whole world gets a good look at what this American president really means when he talks about "freedom".
