Viva La Revolucion

REVOLUTION March on D.C. - July 12th, 2008 - The GRAND RALLY for Feedom, Peace, and Prosperity - Ron Paul!

Last night, my wife bought plane tickets and booked the hotel. We're going to Washington DC, murder capitol, the imperial throne city, the den of thieves, the disarmament hole of the Union.

.... We're going because we figure it's important to ask politely for our rights to be respected. So when we start kicking teeth in, everyone knows it was the last resort. :P

This is a big step for me. I hate planes. I've refused to fly on several occasions because I find TSA to be the KGB of America and resent being within a mile of any TSA uniforms. I also hate Washington DC with a bloodthirsty passion. I've refused to go anywhere back east because of all the insane crap they do to folks like Mr. Heller.

But I must face this. Head-on and with dignity. I'm even willing to leave my XD locked up at home (THIS IS A BIG DEAL) in order to get my point across. I will still be armed in spirit. :P

Yeah, and I can imagine raping a protester to death can be some kind of badge of honor for some of the Congressmen --- I mean THUGS in that city.

My brother lives in DC and he tells me its a model cesspool and a failed exercise of liberal society....

If you stick to the tourist areas, your fine...

It's sad because its the capital of the free world.

I'll give DC one thing--their subway system is excellent. When we visited we used the Metro a bunch and it was great.

I think it's a poignant example of exactly how liberal society works....
