"The belief system seems to be spreading that intellectuals are no wiser as mentors, or worthier as examplars, than the witch doctors or priests of old. I share that skepticism" ~ Historian Paul Johnson

I was there! Let no one tell you it was a weak turnout. Metro was a nightmare but everyone had a great attitude. The line just to get into the Metro station at the Smithsonian was back to the front of the Department of Agriculture building.
Hey 13B - yes, amazing how the left always downplays the size of the crowds at conservative events. Truth be known, they're sweating profusely. They're coming unhinged.
I went to DC a couple of times in the '60's as a kid. At that time, Washington still had the charm and "feel" of a small Southern town. When I went back twice in the '90's and again after 9/11 - all that had changed - for the worse. I felt like I was in a police state in the capital of a 3rd world Nation. I have no desire to ever go back.
I find it hard to believe that I was the only reader of yours that made the trip?
I don't know 13B. Not all readers comment.
What a great day !
I wasn't there, but went as a tourist in spring, '09, for the first time since, oh, the 70s. It has changed a lot. I didn't get the police state feel, though, no cameras on every corner like in London.
Dick - did you visit any of the federal buildings - Congress, etc.?
No federal buildings, no. Security would be tight, I imagine, but much worse than the local county courthouse?
Oh yeah. Of course, I know many of the deputies in Augusta County, that makes some difference in the "feel" when I go to the local courthouse. But still a big difference.
Bottom line - I don't feel "welcome" there. I "feel" like a criminal.
