Thank you patriots wherever you are!

A place for the memorable images and sound bites of the day's "organized thugs and haters" as I saw them described on another thread.

And our brave patriots, soldiers and FReepers of course!

"At a Washington, D.C., anti-war rally during the Gulf War, Marlys Weber of Minneapolis wore a sign saying her son, an Air Force pilot flying missions over Iraq, was in the country. On Saturday, Weber will be back in Washington to protest another war in Iraq, with a message about her grandson who is serving overseas in the Marines."

"Activist and Holocaust survivor Eva Cutler, 77, of Pembroke Pines, waits for the bus that will take her and other anti-war activists to a rally in Washington D.C. Saturday . The South Florida group could be as large as 90. Cutler spent four months in a German camp."

Al Sharpton's Race-Baiting 1/18/2003

You'd think that 4 months in a German concentration camp would have at least taught her how to spell Germany correctly.

I wonder how her grandson feels about his foolish grandmother. We have family member who will likely come under fire over there and we're behind them 100% and behind out country 100%.

No nation can unilaterally choose peace. Thus pacifists are objectively pro-agressor.

[Noumenon]

“The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrong doer."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

Actual Quotes from protesters.

Joel Parker Sausalito, CA
Bush is a f****er!

Joshua Cortez, SFC 415
To get paid. I helped build the stage.

Koren Hoover, Mill Valley
I wanted to be part of a peaceful demonstration against Bush and his axis of evil in the White House.

Liz Jaramillo, Petaluma
Make love not war, Bush is a war monger!

Jan Ogren, Rohnert Park, age 45
Because hitting a kid and telling them not to be violent is the same as Bush wanting to bully the Middle East.

Carol Kraemer, Santa Rosa
I'm here because it's a nice day and my friends are here.

OSAMA THANKS YOU ALL! YOUR CHECKS ARE IN THE MAIL!

[Noumenon]

[Humidston]

I see grandma is wearing her beret.

...Waiting for Bill's return I trust!

[alnick]

Yikes, Monica sure has aged.

"Carol Kraemer, Santa Rosa
I'm here because it's a nice day and my friends are here. "

That is a main part of the turnout at many of these events. Pure apathy and crap like that.

Makes me so mad.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Catchy(sp?) sign too.

[Welsh Rabbit]

My mistake; I referring to the other grandma with orange poster. General rule for making a protest sign: Make sure it can be read at a glance.

[LibWhacker]

Love that slogan! Who came up with that? A Freeper, I'll betcha.
