[GVnana]

Eeew. Give 'em the purple finger for me, will ya?

[Mr. Silverback]

Should have been "Sorry, I can't read every thread."

[Mr. Silverback]

Yep.

Sorry folks, it's a system and it works...

[Thunder90]

Also, many ProtestWarrior chapters are having counterdemonstrations, so you may want to get in touch with them.

[Mudboy Slim]

Hey, the pictures are great but they take a while to upload is all...MUD

JimVT said: Hey...guys...we gotta take up a collection and get Delaware up-graded out of those 86's!

LOL.

How about upgrading the states that still fly P-51 Mustangs? Great plane for its time, but someone out of date.

Of course, to deal with these leftists, a plane like the below would probably be sufficient:

[Thunder90]

That was me who posted the ANSWER heads up.

Actually, one of the Delaware folks wanted me to change it to a picture of their current bird, the C-141. But somehow the thought of scrambling a cargo plane for intercept just doesn't work for me.

Mudboy said: I ain't got no pictures of planes...am I allowed to post on this thread? FReegards...MUD

You can post, but your aerial friends may leave you something, see below. :)

Mudboy, if you don't make it to Fayetteville, your name will be MUD.

[BillF]

"someone" should be "somewhat"

[Mudboy Slim]

So...Fayetteville it is, eh?! I may be hungover, but I reckon I can make it...MUD

[March I up]

BTTT!!!!

[March I up]

Echo!

(TY!!!, good to see you!)

[BillF]

Depending on your state, there likely is one or more locations allowing you to give them the purple finger in person.

Additionally, or alternately, to going to or organizing a rally/counter-protest, please consider writing letters to the editors of your local papers, starting about a week before the protest, pointing out that for over a year ANSWER's website included the statement that "the anti-war movement here and around the world must give its unconditional support to the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance." ANSWER's leaders are not anti-war. They just support the side fighting America. They support the people blowing up our troops in Iraq, intentionally killing innocent Iraqi civilians, and beheading American civilians.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[March I up]

TY... Galveston Island ready for any & all...
