I look at your pics from LI and I see a lot of happy ex-hippies out for a fun day of sign waving. On the same day, here in AZ, there was another rally. It consisted of the people we see here in AZ who disrespect our laws and our sovereignty– they desecrate our flag, your flag! Your rally speaks of immigration. Our cause speaks of ILLEGAL immigration. You need to bring your lemonaide-drinking peace activists down to Phx to see how a real rally is done! Here’s a link to some photos taken at our rally. They’re different from yours.

Do you have the guts to post them on your site? Or are you not interested in showing the truth?
Either you publicize on your site the photos of the people you support, or you’re just another propaganda tool for the ignorant liberals in your state and country.
Interesting opinion, there. Matt Snyder. So, guess we will leave that up for people to consider. – KW
