Is the 30 Million Man March over? Are they still marching?

Did 30 million men even march? Did they do formation marching? Was there some danceable Glenn Miller or John Philip Sousa marching tunes being played while they marched? Or did the Illuminati just round them all up and take them to the FEMA Camps?

They're still there, ordering extra sausage, hotcakes, and bacon.

They were looking for "ten to thirty million" people to go to Washington to overthrow the government.

Let's see here: They are using this weird "three percent" claim. Apparently only three percent of the people living in what is now the US rose up against the British in 1776, and they claim the same three percent of the people living in the US now are in their movement. A little calculation (use Wikipedia's population breakdown) says 120.3 million people are in the 20-to-65 age bracket that would be fit for militia service. Three percent of that is 3.6 million. Thirty million is about a quarter of the militia-age population. There is absolutely no way a quarter of the country is going to descent on Washington, partly because there aren't that many teabaggers in America but also because if you put thirty million people in the city of Washington they'd crush each other to death.

... Zion! Oh mighty Zion! Your bison now are dust!
As your cornflakes rise gainst the rust-red skies
Then our blood requires us must
Go marching, marching to Shibboleth,
With the Eagle and the ... The Buckram and the Cord! Sword!
Praising Zion 'til her death! Ha, ha!
Until we eat our last reward! The flaming Ford! ...
