The folks at RightMarch.com seem to think that the current Republican stranglehold on the White House and Congress just doesn't send a strong enough message to those unpatriotic Americans who dare to question the president's policies. They're calling out members of the "silent majority" to participate in pro-Bush demonstrations at Thursday's inauguration:
Remember when the radical leftists marched in New York City during the GOP convention, to protest against President Bush and conservative values? RightMarch.com got together with other conservative organizations, secured stations along their march route and outside of their rallies, and showed up in the streets to "protest the protesters" -- and we STOLE their thunder, snagging 25% of the media coverage so the "silent majority" could see they weren't alone!
Well, guess what? THEY'RE BAAAAAAACK… and we're going to be right there at the Presidential Inauguration to confront their LIES with the TRUTH!
Our goal is to give pro-Bush-Cheney people the opportunity to enjoy the parade and share fellowship with like-minded conservatives while holding demonstrations in support of the President and his conservative policies including pro-life, pro-second-amendment, pro-military and pro-war- on-terrorists. Along with groups like ProtestWarrior.com and FreeRepublic.com, we intend to protect the President from the character assassins on the far left that will be in the streets that day.
Quick--arrest them! They're assassinating the president's character!
Sigh.
