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'll add that our signs said:
10 out of 10 Despots, Dictators and Terrorists agree, Kerry in '04
We don't strap bombs on our ten year olds (thanks to a fellow Freeper for that ideas)
And my younger daughter, who made her own sign...George W Bush Rocks...We love and support our troops!

And I'll add mine too. Good going FReepers! I'm so proud of America when I read accounts such as yours.
