Operation Infinite Freep: Colorado Style July 13, 2002
Frre Republic, Colorado Chapter ^ | 7/13/02 | Tom Buchanan

Posted on 07/13/2002 5:08:54 PM PDT by fivetoes

It was a great day on the North East corner of Mulberry and College in Ft. Collins. The opposition showed up as usual about ten minutes late. Freepers in attendence this week were RMRattlesnake, Trteamer, Bikertrash and his son, Softengine and her two boys, and fivetoes. There were several members of the VFW Post 1781, four members of the Fife and Drum Corps and we were joined by a passerby who grabbed a sign and joined us in supporting our troops.

Trteamer made some new signs and I am the proud owner of a new megaphone. Enemies of liberty will be verbial challenged without my voice being hoarse for a day or so afterward. We said the Pledge twice during the hour.

There must have been a meeting of sheriff's going on in the area as we observed cars from different counties passing by. Most gave us a thumbs up as they drove passed. The air was full of the sounds of music from the American Revolution era provide by the members of the Colorado Patriots Fife and Drum Corps and the sweet harmony of the horns of passers-by.



A fine looking group of supporters of liberty.


Bikertrash pulling triple duty on sign detail.
Folks we have more signs every week and we can always use warm bodies to hold them up.

Another shot of the good guys and gals.


This woman was passing by and asked for a sign. She was promptly accommodated.


Another group shot.


Freeper, Softengine accepted the honor of holding our most cherished sign.
Her two sons revved up their enthusiasm.


Fivetoes with his brand new toy. Anti-liberty folks beware.


This gets my vote as the shot of the week.
Trteamer went across the street to hand the antis some literature about chemical spills on CSU property.
As he stepped to the curb to come back he unfurled his 'Useful Idiots' sign.

I have to admit that one of their signs made me think. I am still trying to figure out how we win the war on terrorism with windmills.

Yeah, Today was a blast. It seems the more freepers we get the better it gets.

I am sad to say that I will not be there next week as I am going on a camping trip with my two Cub Scout boys.

We can win a war with windmills

Here are some great windmills

Corbas, Apaches, Hueys, Chinooks, Seaknights and other Helecopter with 50cals and rockets mounted on them.

This is great!! The last war demonstration I saw was much larger and in 1968, if memory serves. At that time all the marchers were against our troops. They threatend to throw blood on the Veterans memorial at College and LaPorte(?) across from the old Northern Hotel. It did not happen. I am proud to say that I had the honor to be part of the thin line defending that monument.

What a fine looking bunch of Patriots!!!!!

Thanks for the photo shoot fivetoes.
I'm e-mailing the pictures to a Lt. Colonel in the Army. They will go around the world to our troops. I wish to say to all the Veterans I met today, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!"

I think that the anti's are beginning to get demoralized. Good. They certainly are being outclassed, and outnumbered.

Next week should be even better with the road construction done. Start making signs now.
See you there,
Trteamer

Great pics, fantastic protest..my voice is still hoarse from all that anti-IT protesting in Nashville. I'm jealous of your new toy. I want a bull horn for my very own. BUT can't afford one right now. Hubby did make me to inexpensive battery run siren noise makers though. Sigh...

Trteamer,

You guys will have to carry on without me next Saturday as I will be on a three day camping trip with my son's cub scout troop. I will be back on Sunday, but I will start a thread before I go. It will be up to all of you great freepers to write the report.

I too think they are begining to get demoralized. I guess I would get tired of people driving by and waving their middle finger at me. That would be lead to some stage of incomprehensible demoraliztion.

later

You're welcome, but after seeing your FReepage I reckon I'm the one that will be thanking you!

I was too young to do anything about it last time, but when I seen "people" spitting at our servicemen and women during the Vietnam war, I made a vow to myself. I vowed that if I ever personally witnessed such a thing, it would be the last time that "person" EVER spit between his own teeth.

I intend to keep that vow.

They were born demoralized.

Great to see you today! We'll miss you next week but have a blast on your camping trip!

Wow! Well done in Colorado! How many of the peaceniks did you encounter? And did they pick up and leave at an exact time like they do in Fresno? Did anybody ask them who was paying them to be there? :-)

You all rock! Thanks for making the effort and posting this thread. I would like to see it posted in "breaking news" next time since that's where I find the Fresno Freep reports and I sometimes don't scroll all the way down to the other set of "headlines".

Love all the signs - especially the "Useful idiots" sign. There are so many of these types around today.

God bless each of you for making this effort.
