Twenty or thirty bra-burning lesbian battle-axes, still hanging on to the 1960's, get more coverage when they march to support abortion, it's a damn shame that these veterans don't get the coverage that America deserves to see.
With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." -Alex Kurtagic
The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

"The numbers of civilians walking behind the official veterans and active duty marching to show that "Ron Paul is the Choice of the Troops" was reported to be over 1,000 family members and supporters. The official march of the troops and veterans themselves is believed to have been an additional over 900 people. It is unclear at this time, how many members of the public may have been in the crowds to observe this historic public statement by our veterans in support of Ron Paul for President of the United States."
An historic march on the White House just concluded in Washington, DC today on President's Day. The details of the march were outlined in my previous article reporting on the efforts to organize the event.
There was a live stream provided by various sources including "Adam vs The Man" website in which Adam Kokesh was one of the main organizers and led the march from the Washington Monument to the White House and back.
As planned, when the march arrived in front of the White House, veterans did an "about face" and then the "colors were presented". The flag was then folded-up as is the custom to be presented to widow or another family member of a fallen soldier. The assembly was instructed to render a salute and hold it for as many seconds as there have been returning veterans that have committed suicide while Obama has been in office. This portion lasted approximately 8 minutes. Then they went to "parade rest" and observed silent prayer for as many seconds as members of the military have died overseas while Obama has been Commander In Chief. This portion of ceremony lasted approximately 20 minutes.
The group then marched in formation back to the Washington Monument. The numbers of civilians walking behind the official veterans and active duty marching to show that "Ron Paul is the Choice of the Troops" was reported to be over 1,000 family members and supporters. The official march of the troops and veterans themselves is believed to have been an additional over 900 people. It is unclear at this time, how many members of the public may have been in the crowds to observe this historic public statement by our veterans in support of Ron Paul for President of the United States.
This was clearly a unique anti-war march by our nation's veterans and perhaps could be referred to as one of the most unique in recent history. The official march was heard in cadence to: "End the Fed", "President Paul", "End the Wars" and "Ron Paul Revolution, Legalize the Constitution".
There was initially to be active duty also participating in the march. It is unclear after a warning was said to be issued by top military brass in the last couple of days whether the numbers of active duty members that actually marched today was affected by this warning instructing them not to participate.
I will embed a video to this article of the complete ceremony before, during and after the march as soon as one becomes available. Please post any links in the comments section below if you have a video archive of this event.
