I attended the rally and I am the ancient age of 37. And my "elderly" wife of 38 sat next to me. (Given her decrepitude you'll understand when I say I married her for her money.)

You had this article written in your head, and tho' it's been pointed out, it bears repeating, you just need quote to insert into the blank spaces.

Too bad you didn't open your mind to fill the blank space between your ears.

Levin and Hannity "scared"? That's not just ridiculous, it's silly. I saw proud, patriotic Americans accomplishing two utterly noble and necessary goals: exposing Liberalism for the vestibule of Leninism that it is and raising money to support the children of those who've give their lives to give people like you the freedom you both abuse and in no way deserve--the very people you revile when no one but your Leftist buddies are sitting around the newsroom at the Red-Journal and the Mao ZeSun.

It was an honor to have the privilege to hear Colonel North, a REAL American hero. Who, unlike your military-"loathing" idol, the rapist and perjurer, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, he served his country, winning the Bronze Star, the Silver Star (the third highest award, behind only the Navy Cross and the Congressional Medal of Honor) as well as earning two Purple Hearts defending freedom.

You, sir, "are despicable." (As a certain duck used to say.) That's my new nick name for you: Daffy Elfman.

"What a maroon!" quoth the waterfowl; he had a certain lagomorph in mind, I don't.

You see those old people have worked all their life to support the young punks that just don't want to work and vote Liberal just to get a piece of what does not belong to them. I am 58 years old have workd virtually everyday since I was a lot younger than 18, spent 20 years in the military, served the country that I am very proid of and never, not ever have I ever been on welfare, asked for or expected a handout and I believe what is mine should remain just that, mine. Oh by the way I can't seem to find it here, perhaps you just forgot, but did you notice all the folks were pretty clean and most like ly showered sometime during the day. Also there was a lot of talk of GOd and country which is what made us great and I hope will again someday. I agree with most here, you already knew what your slant would be before you put pen to paper, you just went to verify. That is what is wrong with the news and newspapers today, ya really need to start telling us what we need to know and hear, vs what YOU want us to know and hear. All the more reason we need and have talk radio and they just keep climbing in the ratings while newspapers and major networks keep declining. People know more about what is true than you think.

I enjoyed the rally, especially Mr. North. What an awesome speaker.
Sounds like a lot of sour grapes here, to me. No one is required to like everything, but this article is downright mean spirited. Good thing I already canceled the paper, and no one will ever talk me into taking it again.

Since I listened to my History teachers in High School and college when they described Socialism and Communism and Democracy and a Representative Republic (which is the US). Nationalized Helath care (socialist) Redistribution of wealth (Socialist)

TJ wrote on May 06, 2008 08:29 AM: Interesting perspective DE. Seems you knew what you wanted to write before you saw the show. Typical. You just waited for Hannity's deliberate one liners to fill in your quotes. He baited you buddy. Oh and by the way, I was at the show...loved it...and I'm a young Republican of 34. Oh gasp! Could it be? We are out there backing our party? Next time try looking for more than just what you want to see.
