The Great American Counter Protest
Regular Atlas reader and great American, Rich, staged a counter protest yesterday in West Chester against the relentless "anti-war" moonbats that stage their drama year in and year out at the same stinkin' corner. Rich grew tired of seeing those same tired old hippies denigrating the honor of our troops and the greatness that is America. What started out as a three man protest grew to a movement...... of freedom lovers across the nation.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrich! Proud to know Rich, proud to call him a friend. Average Americans fighting for America against the leftist Islamic alliance. Check out the local coverage.
Protesters Gather in West Chester
WEST CHESTER -- About 50 protesters gathered Saturday to share their views on the war in Iraq, and their views on protesting outside the Chester County Courthouse.
Blogger MidnightBlue was there and did this terrific blog post on the rally.
A crisp fall day greeted this band of citizens who gathered at the Chester County Courthouse to make it known that the protesting 'quakers' and students looking for an easy 'A' , do not speak for ALL Americans.
This display of Pro American/ Pro Victory support started out as a one-man operation. Rich at times faced agression by the gathered 'peace' protestors. He has been described by Karen Porter, director of the Chester County Peace Movement, as a war-monger who wanted to start trouble at their rally. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Rich responded to his encounters with the 'peace' protestors with respect and goodwill, behaviors rarely displayed by Karen and her followers. These are the same individuals who attempted to characterize a retired Veteran's dog as being agressive and a reason for them to call 911 during the protest if the dog was present.

Wonderful pics too
There's a wonderful video of Rich speaking to the crowd. Rich, you rock!
Rich obviously unnerved (not hard to do) the lunatic fringe. Check out the newsletter batshit crazy Karen Porter, Director The Chester County Peace Movement sent out.
For five years, I've seen only peace and love on that corner at High and Market Streets. God has been with us every week when we gather there, a sacred place to us. It's been our church, our place for sending a positive, life-giving message to the world. Our way of saying, "No, we haven't ALL gone mad in this country, some of us are sane, some of us don't want to destroy mankind."
But God wasn't there today for me, and I can only hope He will return.
Instead, I saw raw hatred and death and destruction. I saw a glimpse of the coming end of the America I have loved all my life. I saw "Mad Max" in its destructive, tragic future. I'm not sure if God will come back there. He may be gone forever. Countries and empires fall, and I think this one has seen its best days long ago. But, of course, they're all "for the troops," and we aren't, don't you know?
What happened at that corner today was a grim and disgusting spectacle, a docudrama of the absurd I can only call "The End of America," a country wallowing in its growing hate and fear. A country self-destructing. My country dying. But, of course, they're all "for the troops," and we aren't, don't you know?
Click below to read the whole pathetic diatribe. It's unfathomable that this leftard sees evil in everything America does and assigns the same blame to those that love and defend her, but has no issue with honor killings, Islamic jihad, suicide bombers, 9/11 invaders, creeping sharia ...... yada yada yada.
UPDATE: Rich wrote me with his observations. I can't laud this man enough. Please check out his speech at the protest, video here.
Yesterday I held my 4th counter-protest against 2 Anti-War and Impeach Bush groups. I gave a speech we had our largest turnout ever.
Their leader, Karen Porter, is upset because I am countering them. She has been used to no opposition for 5 years and when someone finally stands up to her, she has a fit.
Yesterdays counter protest included about 40-50 people on my side, about 10 of them were bikers from Gathering of Eagles and Rolling Thunder and Vietnam Veterans of America. They stood with me with honor and dignity, holding flags and signs I made.
