I've had my fill. That's enough. This morning I'm shaking I'm so ANGRY!!!
I've been away from the news a few days because of my work schedule, so imagine my SHOCK when I read this morning that someone, somewhere in the Obama Administration or one of his appointees DENIED three plea's to rescue Ambassador Chris Stevens, Navy Seals Glen Doherty & Tyrone Woods and another American during the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi!
Not only DENIED, but our folks who COULD HAVE rescued them were told to STAND DOWN three times?!
Where the hell is the bloody damn' media? Why aren't they DOING THEIR JOBS and reporting this?!
I've had enough volunteering for Romney! Someone needs to tell this TRUTH to the American people and if it's down to me then I'll do it!
Granted I live in Illinois, and it's DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED HELL here, but I have to do something!
This morning I painted a 4'x4' sign with bright red letters that say "OBAMA LIED WHILE AMERICANS DIED IN LIBYA!"
Right now it's on the corner where I live. I'm taking it out to the main road that has TONS of traffic, a 4-way stop and two gas stations on the corner and I'm displaying that sign ALL DAY.
I just can't take it anymore, and I have to do something with the energy this ANGER is generating. Even if it is this SOCIALIST HELL-HOLE called ILLINOIS!
Wow! You are courageous! Keep up the good fight American patriot.
Thanx!
Good for yo u. This should be MAJOR headlines ll day every day . Why won’t the GOP make a MAJOR case of this ? Why? Who has balls in this government ?
Call a press conference , make an event of this. We need to adopt some of the successful methods of the left . They are great in making scenes and making news. FORCE the MSM to recognize the situation. Create a scene. Why won’t some GOP senator grow a pair and get out in fron of the cameras and call Obama and co. out n this. Declare him a traitor and call for his head live on TV . No one has balls anymore
Good work my friend

Thank you and keep us updated. It takes guts to go out and protest alone. My husband has done it several times and always gets lots of positive responses.
I wonder if people are doing this all over the country but since it is never reported we all feel like we are alone.
First, my arms are very, very sore and I can hardly type this morning. I held up my sign for several hours before my arms gave out and I came home to mount the sign on a 2x4. At which point, I went back out until just about sundown.
The number of POSITIVE responses I received far, far outnumbered the middle-fingers and those who yelled insults as they drove by.
Lots of folks took picutres, some took video's with their phones as they drove by. (those were easy to spot, they had their cellphones up to their windshields or out their windows.)
One person stopped and told me she saw my sign on facebook, one of her friends had posted it and asked her friends to all come out and show support. Coincidentally, one woman who stopped and hugged me told me she was going to post it on her facebook, and a half-hour later there were a number of cars that went by honking and waving. That gave me a big burst of energy.
Several former military folks stopped to say "thank you", one was US Navy who showed me his id card and tattoo on his forearm. I was so very humbled by those in the military who stopped to say thank you, and I thanked them for their service to our country.
The intersection I was at was at had a stop light and two gas stations. Speed limit was 45mph and the intersection frequently backs up so thousands of cars had a good view of my sign which said "OBAMA LIED WHILE AMERICAN'S DIED IN LIBYA" in bright, bold red letters.
Those who gave the middle finger or shouted insults can be summarized as follows:
Mostly younger white males, driving those stupid loud tiny cars with loud mufflers and stupid paint jobs.
A fair number of older white males gave me the finger too, guess they're afraid of losing their social security or something. Sucks to be them I suppose, brainwashed.
About ten cars full of latino's drove by shouting insults with "Obama rules" being the most popular.
While I live in a predominantly white (95%) area, the road I was on is the only east-west road between two main highways so it gets alot of traffic. I did see alot of black Americans driving by, less than a handful indicated their disapproval. Most just drove through and ignored the sign. The handful that did voice their objections called me every name under the sun.
Surprisingly, I was only called "RACIST!" once - and that was by an older white male. Go figure.
One rather large black woman stopped and yelled "what's a Libya?" calling me every name under the sun. I had to laugh at her as I turned my back and pointed my sign in another direction.
Overall, I have to say that the positive responses far outnumbered the negative ones easily 10:1. I didn't keep exact track, but I did note the number of honks and thumbs-ups I received before I'd get a negative response, so 10:1 feels about right, maybe a tad conservative.
That's pretty much about it, I was really encouraged yesterday by the experience. One person who stopped and stayed with me for awhile said I was doing a good thing. I was telling other people it was OK for them to be angry and that someone else felt the way they did. I sure heard those people hit their horns and give a thumbs-up as they went by. I really appreciated her encouragement.
I'll be out again today after church this morning. I expect to be out again until the sun goes down or the sky opens up and starts raining here. It's very gloomy and it looks like it's about to rain now, so I'll have to play it by ear.
Thanks for all the encouraging posts on this thread, I appreciate everyone who gave me encouragement here also. I'll find a way to post some pic's to this thread at some point today/tonight also.
Thanks for going back out again today.Stay warm and dry.
My husband and I will be going to a sign waving event sponsored by a local tea party group. We are supposed to wave signs for Romney and Josh Mandel from Ohio running for the US Senate. Instead we will have signs about Benghazi.
