What a day it was! It gives a man hope to see so many gather, peaceably, not to demand their government give them something, but to stand on principle and call their elected representatives to account for irresponsible behavior. Nothing could be more American, and if the ‘opinion elite’ have a problem with it, they need to stuff it and let this be our day. This event was uniquely American, truly bipartisan, and genuine. It was not driven by special interests, behind-the-scenes funding, or astroturf-style fakery, but by love of country and anger at our representatives’ betrayal of our trust. It will not be represented as such by the mainstream media, so look beyond their reports to see the real spirit of the event. Here I’ll sift and collect more quotes, tweets, and pictures, and link to other summaries of the day’s events…
