Reply #6: I've been on two ANSWER national marches and seen the counterprotests. [View All]

I'm not scared.

Incidentally, it is not totally insane to refer to ANSWER as communist-influenced, although "organized" is overblowing it. There has been plenty of dissection of ANSWER's makeup, pedigree, leadership and genealogy in the papers lately, and certainly their own rhetoric is heavily Marxist-flavored. This is probably one of the reasons the marches haven't been yet even bigger than they were. An ANSWER rally is generally an exercise in patience and perspective; the cool thing is standing around in the crowd looking at all the people who came out.

The next rally is being co-organized by United for Peace and Justice, a more mainstream and NY-based organization that, from what I can tell, puts on a much better party. So hopefully it'll get more people. I'm goin', one way or another, and I guaran-damn-tee the presence will dwarf and crush any counterdemonstration FR can mount.

Why? Because if you weren't a lazy, entitled-feeling, world-owes-me-a-Porsche, why-should-I-experience-discomfort-just-to-help-others sonofabitch, why would you be part of Free Republic?

C ya,
