My SPEECH in NJ on 9/12 about the BIKERS and what the day did for America.
-----------
Let me tell you about the BIKER RIDE. They didn’t all come from DC. I saw license plates from Alaska, Oregon, Maine and New Hampshire. These guys and girls came from all over the country. And so it was a little helter skelter. I don’t think the woman running it realized how many people were going to show up and so she was a bit over her head. I mean Homeland Security was there, and they probably had drones somewhere [laughs], they had helicopters and they had dogs. You would have thought we were the terrorists [laughs]. And all of a sudden it went from people giving speeches to “alright we’re leaving.” Everybody takes off and I don’t have my ride [laughs]. And I am like “alright, this is bad” [laughs]. Because on top of that I don’t have a helmet. I don’t have a bike. And I guess because I stand out like a white dot on a black wall, all of a sudden I get a tap on the shoulder --- “You look like you need a ride.” It was a New York Fireman. I was like, wow. Wow.
So I got on the back of this man’s bike and I filmed this entire event. And I won’t be on the Huckabee Show, I decided I won’t go on. Instead I am making it into a mini documentary. It will be about a half hour long. And I am going to put it on the Internet because if I run clips on FOX only a million people will see it. So I am going to put it on the Internet, and I'll put it out for free, and I'll let it go viral -- and it will go viral. And the reason being is because as I rode on the back of that bike -- I realized I had never witnessed anything like it in my life. It was the most patriotic event I was ever witness to. And all of those things I’ve seen over the last couple of years -- all the bad things -- all the heartache... for the first time I said you know what [snaps fingers] the country, it’s going to come back. I knew it. I knew what brought me down there yesterday was the same thing that made me stop at that 7-Eleven [referring to the inspiration for producing the film THEY COME TO AMERICA].
I knew the mainstream media wouldn’t cover yesterday’s BIKER RIDE. Yeah you can see a clip or two on Fox but I got a half hour of footage that when it all comes down to it will make you cry, it makes you laugh, it makes you proud. You’ll be sharing it with everybody. You’ll be sharing this little documentary more than you will the videos you picked up here tonight [referring to THEY COME TO AMERICA I & II].
Folks, we got about 3 years left on the clock. When this guy [Obama] is gone, this country is gonna come back. It’s gonna come back. I felt it yesterday. I am a gut guy --- gut says it’s gonna come back. And it’s going to be leadership that does it. It’s going to be leadership but the difference this time -- it hit me yesterday while I was on the back of that motorcycle -- it’s not going to be one man or one woman. This time it’s going to be WE THE PEOPLE. I saw it yesterday. Tens of thousands -- whatever the number was -- all the BIKERS took a leadership position. Yesterday, America was a BIKER.

Especially since he is Jewish!
Same thing as a Kaffeiya?
Cracks me up picturing you as a biker Muslim. Very cute.

I'll admit it, I had to look it up to find out what a Kufi is.
I participated in both events riding my Harley wearing my embroidered Kufi.
This article was wrote last year.
"For the tenth anniversary ride Tuesday, 190 bikers took off from at 35th and Shields, revving their engines to life at 9:11 a.m., as they have every year since 2001, according to ABC. Hundreds more are expected to join along the way"

If this is an annual event, denying them the permit seems like a power grab or perhaps playing PC for the Muslim March. I don't like that and I don't like that the Muslims aren't a bit more sensitive to that particular day. They can have any calender day of the year, and they chose that one? I'm sorry and I don't care much what the point was behind their march.
Bad timing is bad timing.

I’m saying the media doesn’t seem to cover Americans showing their Pride unless it is for some Liberal Agenda.

"The way it was advertised it seemed to be a response to the Muslim Peace march. At least that was my take from the media."
That's exactly how they wanted it to look like. I did not hear one time on any News, that it was an annual event. There is no Drama in that.
I’m not saying all Liberals are not Patriotic. I’m saying the media doesn’t seem to cover Americans showing their Pride unless it is for some Liberal Agenda.

No, I wasn't talking about *the* Tea Party, more like Alice in Wonderland's tea party.

I didn't oppose their run at all, just didn't want to be in the middle of it all and this liberal happens to be quite patriotic herself, young man!

“Geez, Bikers vs Muslims, not my tea party.”
This has been an Annual Ride since 9-11. Why should they cancel their Ride because Muslims chose to March on that Day? I don’t know if the Tea Party comment was a pun, but the Tea Party (or politics period) has absolutely nothing to do with it. Just Americans showing their Pride which is not very popular now a days unless it for some Liberal Agenda.

Thank you for your original post. If not for you I would have heard nothing about this ride. I could not find anything on the main stream media except for the fact that their permit was denied.
DC Police estimated 880K riders yet there was not much to hear about it. In fact a local radio personality has pictures of all the beltway cams and they showed nothing of the massive amounts of bikes on the beltway.
He said it looked like a Sunday afternoon and many of the cameras were snowed out.
Normally for something like this, motorists would have been warned about the upcoming even yet there was little to nothing about it.
It makes me wonder what is happening.

Stormy weather can’t stop 9/11 riders

The events of Sept. 11 2001 will not be forgotten in Lycoming County.
Undeterred by the rain, thousands of locals lined the streets to bear witness to the rolling memorial comprised of the 1,000 motorcyclists who rode in this year's 9/11 Memorial Ride Wednesday evening.
Families huddled together under umbrellas to cheer and wave flags.
Many dressed up, and some families chose to tailgate as they watched the column of bikers ride past.
Boy Scout Troops, veterans and the elderly chose to stand together and bear witness to the ride, which is one of the largest memorials held in the state.
This support from the sidelines is a critical aspect of the ride, according to Tank Baird, president of the 9/11 Memorial Coalition, which hosts the event.
"It was heartwarming for me to see all those people standing out in the rain on the streets, especially in the rain. The people here get it, they understand why we ride and we bikers are so appreciative of that encouragement," Baird said.
The dedicated bikers are determined to ride every year, rain or shine, Baird said.
The inclement weather did provide challenges for those on motorcycles.
"It's not unsafe to ride in the rain, but it does increase the chances of having an incident. Everyone was on their best behavior and made it back here safely," Baird said.
"It is just great to see all of those people as we go past. There's nothing better than being able to give back the community in some way, and this is a great cause," said biker Bruce Knull, of Montoursville.
This sentiment was echoed again and again by those who attended the ride.
"This country needs more of what we're doing here tonight," said biker Don Butter, of Nesbit.
The bikers carry with them "Wounded Warrior" cards as they ride, which are blessed by members of local clergy at a memorial service held just before the ride begins. This year's cards contained the names of 6,000 casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Rev. John K. Manno, of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Montoursville, was the keynote speaker at the memorial service. While addressing the crowd, he reflected on his time spent in the morgue and at the main hub of St. Paul's Church at Ground Zero shortly after the attacks.
He recalled the steadfast determination and resilient spirit he witnessed from those impacted at Ground Zero, particularly fire fighters, police officers and first responders.
For Baird, who co-founded the ride back in 2001, this year's success was a humbling moment.
"When this first started, I thought we'd have a few bikes the first few years. And maybe in five years or so there might be ten of us still going out on this anonymous ride, determined to remember," Baird said.
"I am so amazed at how large this has become, and how many people tell me this is important to them. I could never have done any of this by myself. This amazing community has come together over the years because they understand how important it is that we never, ever forget," he added.

OH said her daughter was in DC and could not get to where she was going because of all the bikes.
I think the media chose to ignore the march and the bikers...they decide what is newsworthy, which is a shame because the media's version of news is often biased and base.
On the positive side, it must have been peaceful or we would have heard about it.

I am sorry for kicking dead horses here!! But did any motorcycles make it DC yesterday? Still looking at the news and not a word. If they didn't I must apologize for being such a fool, believing the hype, stupid me! But even if a number half that size made it and that is not news worthy, I am very ill indeed and feel even worse for the state of our nation.
The only thing I saw on the news about this was a remark about the bikes all over. That was it! Seems the media are gnashing their teeth about Syria and have room for little else these days.....
I don't know if it's a fear of Muslims, this is America. But if you would only look at what is happening to the rights of all Americans, the very fabric of the ideals that made this country great. And ask yourself why do we have to eliminate our rights to benefit so many others that have no tolerance or understand freedom of speech, religion etc. And would have as destroy all christian values. IE: the removal of the pledge of allegiance in school for making reference to God, or the Ten Commandments from court rooms, because it was offensive to some. Very short list, but it truly is much longer, and only some who is afraid to see this fact wont see it.
You know, if this is a Muslim march, perhaps 911 is the right day? I guess I assume the best in people (all my fellow human beings) and am wondering if perhaps this is their way of speaking out against what happened? I guess so many are still stuck on Muslims are terrorists instead of what is what. Terrorists who happened to be Muslim. So many say that the Muslim community has not taken a stand against extremism. Is it possible that that is what this is and it's peaceful? Why does it have to be a negative and something intended to provoke. Maybe I'm naive, but maybe I'm right?
