"Saddam Captured" Celebratory FReep in Philadelphia Today

After Action Report | 12/14/03 | Doctor Raoul

[Doctor Raoul]

Having been awakened by a phone call that Saddam had been captured, the first thing that jumped into my mind was "City Line Avenue".

It was payback time for all the left wing looney tunes for their snarky remarks and unfounded wacko charges.

At about 9 am, I took up my position outside the local NBC affiliate and across from the ABC affiliate there on City Line Avenue. That the stations were there was just a bonus, the main reason is that the intersection sees thousands of cars per hour. It's a main traffic artery west from Philadelphia to the 'burbs. It feeds from US-1 and I-76. Lots of cars, trucks and buses.

And what did they see? Saddam Hussein in camo BDU shirt, with red shoulder boards, red beret and a belt of 30 caliber ammo across his chest. And oh yeah, bloody hands. His sign was simple, three lines, four words. First line was "SAVE ME" in black. Second and third lines were "VOTE DEMOCRAT" in red.

In the two and a half hours I spent on the corner, there were just two "Liberal IQ" salutes. The first one was from the first car that passed. At least the guy had some flair and delivered it sideways with style. The second guy in a red station wagon leaned all the way over to the passanger side and was shaking with rage.

But the overwhelming sentiment today was laughter at the democrats position. Being overcast with snow, rain and sleet, it was difficult to see in some cars, but those in which I could see, had a vast majority of smiles. There was a fair amount of thimbs up and horn honks, especially when a local TV camera showed up. People were honking, rolling down their windows and giving the thumbs up.

Whenever it was cold and I felt like leaving, there'd be another round of horn nonks and thumbs up, so I stayed longer than I expected. You forget the cold and the stiff fingers after that very quickly. If I hadn't consumed a 20 oz coffee on the way there, I would have stayed three and a half hours.

The great thing about a Freep is that there is so MUCH good material on these threads!

Pased Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell on my way there (wrong turn) and there was a heavy security presence there.

As one born and raised in the Delaware Valley (and missing his Wawa), salute to you for going out in this mess to spread the word. Thank you!!

[cwb]

You've definitely got some cajones. I hear they beat-up Republicans in Philly:)

[ladyinred]

Great sign and good for you Doc! Wish I could have seen the guy shaking with rage!!! Hope you laughed in his face!!! (shame on me!)

[Doctor Raoul]

I was keeoing tabs on the moron boards and how they intpreted the story about how Saddam called one of his wives every week. Their wacko, looney, left wing hate, conspiracy theory was that "Bush Knew" where Saddam was making the calls and that he was saving Saddam's capture for October. Once again Bush made a smacked ass out of the DUmmies.

That 20 oz coffee I mentioned was from Wawa.

FReepmail me an address and I'll mail you a bag. They sell the coffee beans now.

I was wondering where you were all morning, now I know. I even did try to look up your number at 615 this morning to give you the good news but couldnt find it : (((

Great JOB Doc and may I buy you a drink at the party in honor of this wonderful freep?

[Enterprise]

"Bush knew." They really are whacked - and I am still laughing. I wish I could have seen the guy who leaned out of the car in a rage. You sure it wasn't Kerry or Dean? And "SAVE ME - VOTE DEMOCRAT" - could life be any better right now? GREAT JOB!!!!!

Tune in to the next televised bout of Midget Wrestling on C-SPAN. They list it under "Demoocratic Presidential Primary Debate".

[weldgophardline]

It does a FReeper good to upset to lefisits it keeps the Freeper young and strong. Keep up the fight and never let them win.

[CharlotteVRWC]

What a great Freep! KUDU'S TO YOU!

[jwalsh07]

Way to go Doc, I think its time you got one of those lifetime achievement awards for going above and beyond the call of duty in the battle against the luantic left.

[speedy]

Thanks DR -- you are the best. But since I only live a few hours away in NYC, I can still get down for my regular Italian hoagie and soft pretzel fix!! Thanks for making Philly proud!! And hope Jim Gardner noticed you out there.
