A VICTORY for Eagles Today

A victory for the Silent Majority!
A victory for common sense!

Today was the 40th anniversary of the mega protest against the Vietnam War which launched the anti-war movement into the mainstream of American politics.

Today was also the day when that movement of defeat and delusion was eclipsed by the Silent Majority of common sense Americans who refuse to be silent anymore.

The Gathering of Eagles in Washington, D.C. today matched and exceeded both the quantity and quality of protestors who showed up to protest for America's defeat in Iraq, Iran and throughout the world.

Despite a clear advantage in organization, funding and favorable media, the anti-war "peace" crowd, waving mass produced yellow, black and orange signs failed to match the hype of left wing organizers, let alone live up to the legacy set down by hippies and haters 40 years before.

It's clear from the reports at the scene that the Eagles who stood for honor, freedom and victory on the National Mall today are the vanguard of an America which refuses to be defeated and humiliated in the way this nation was following the abandonment of Vietnam forced on us by Democrats in Congress during the 1970's.

In every way, the Eagles this day achieved a moral and political victory in the propaganda war for the hearts and minds of Americans. That victory is just as important as any battle on the field.

Thank you Eagles! Job well done!

Demanding Media that's Fair and Balanced

For those left at home and upset with the poor quality of television coverage of the Gathering of Eagles, do your part. Contact C-Span and ask why they reran a boring congressional hearing in the morning during the time the Eagles were conducting an event, yet ran the anti-war rally live in the afternoon?

Email and phone contact information for C-Span is here.

You may also wish to write letters to the editor of your local paper and demand that coverage of the day's activities be balanced in closer accord with the numbers at the scene.
