Tmatt already looked at some early coverage of the “Restoring Honor” rally held in Washington this weekend. I went down to the Lincoln Memorial to catch part of it but couldn’t even come close to hearing, much less seeing, what was going on. But I did meet a ton of people. It was a completely different event than the tea parties I’ve seen. Last September, there was a huge gathering in D.C. of people upset at the size and scope of the federal governemnt. This was even before health care legislation was signed into law. The protesters carried thousands upon thousands of creative and witty signs and it was really something to see. I was pretty sure I’d never seen a protest with so many employed people, or so many people who had children. And grandchildren.
