There is supposedly another anti-war protest tonight in Marietta Square. Sounds like my job is not yet complete. But I'll leave that for another thread!

I'll add my thoughts to the Freeping! First, for once, the AP, Fox and Reuters reporters spent as much time with the 10-12 of us as they did the 150 or so anti-war types. Lots of pictures of our signs and quite a few print interviews. More than one of the photogs said quietly, "I'm so glad you guys showed up, I was really tired of having to take pictures of these people."

One wrinkley old hippy insisted on trying to engage my girls in debate. I had warned them adhead of time and number 2 daughter (holding a Bush rocks sign for most of it) replied to his Bush lied chant, "Go Bush! I love my President!" Ouch. Then he asked why I didn't want to debate him, didn't I want to hear the other side??? I said, "Look buddy, I was raised by two hippy liberals. Every Thanksgiving dinner I hear your side and I DISAGREE." He moved along after that.

We really irritated them today. We had a bullhorn to chant our opinions, lots of signs etc. They tried to block our signs, but as we were on the curb, all passing cars saw us, not them. We went home giggling and smiling, they went home eternally pissed off that we were there. Is there more joy than that???

I encourage everyone to get out and protest the next anti-(war, Bush, etc) protest in your area. I feel pumped up, and I guarantee they are more ticked at our presence there, they they are happy about thier "success".

Good on ya, Tatze, Hillaryrhymeswithitch!
You should be proud of yourself for getting out there and showing that the anti-Bush, anti-freedom crowd isn't the only voice.

Very original.

The account of your counterprotest was very inspiring, too.

Thanks for all you did and for posting your report.

What a good mom Hillaryrhymewithrich is! You are teaching your kids great lessons! I wish I could have taken my kids with me during San Francisco counterprotests, but here it is flat-out dangerous to do so. All this from the "City of Love and Peace"; the City That Knows How", etc. If it weren't for the thin blue line, most of us would have been black and blue. Not a place for a kid.

Does the heart good to see those girls out there with y'all doing their patriotic part in standing for right and freedom. (((Hugs))) to them.

Loved the response of #2 daughter to wrinkly old hippy...you go girl! I love our president too! God bless him.

LOL at your remark to wrinkly old hippy's attempt at debate:
"Look buddy, I was raised by two hippy liberals. Every Thanksgiving dinner I hear your side and I DISAGREE."
LOLOL!

Just made it back in to Lincolnton. One major item of notice during the demostration, WE WERE THE ONLY ONES CARRYING AMERICAN FLAGS. I will admit as usual I did not behave myself. They seem to get upset when I intially asked them if I was at the Gay Liberation March and they seemed to look a little sheepish when I would ask who had and when were the free drugs going to be passed out.

I also made a few comments to the old hippies who were there to the point of if they had taken a bath since the demonstrations in the 60's and 70's. I really don't understand it but they really said some nasty things to me and I had a feeling they didn't like me very much.
