A Gathering of Eagles

On March 17th, a liberal, celebrity-studded and anti-war gathering will take place again in DC, with the intent of marching on all of the Nation's war memorials enroute to the Pentagon. Their objective is the dismantling of America's military, our immidiate surrender in Iraq and Afghanistan, the closure of detention centers like Guantanamo Bay, and the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

The last time Hollywood celebrities/anti-war/hippie/aging protester/peace-loving crowd got together for a "peaceful" government protest, rocks were thrown at a Dupont Circle military recruitment center and a FOX News van, vandalized the Lone Sailor Statue at the US Navy Memorial and spray painted symbols all over the Capitol Building.

The Gathering of Eagles is an organization of patriots who are dedicated to ensuring the "war memorials are sacred ground; as such, we will not allow them to be desecrated, used as props for political statements, or treated with anything less than the solemn and heartfelt respect they–and the heroes they honor–deserve." They have called a gathering around the Memorials in the Nation's Capitol to ensure that what happened last time doesn't happen this time.

The incident at the Capitol Building was allowed to happen by Capitol Hill Police Chief Phillip Morse when he ordered police officers to retreat and allow protesters to paint graffiti on the Capitol, which is against federal law.

Democratic Response- Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat, said she doesn't want to get critical on Morse's "judgement when he ground and I wasn't. There's a balance that they have to strike. It's a very difficult job."

Republican Response- Senator Wayne Allard, Colorado Republican, expressed loud disapproval saying, "I am disgusted by these actions, and the lack of efforts to protect public integrity. I am absolutely dismayed by the vandalism and the blatant disregard for public property that occured at our Nation's Capitol this weekend."

You tell me, which makes more sense for our country?
