It was so wonderful to see you all again and participate in two FReeps this weekend in the "belly of the beast" - Washington DC. It has been awhile since we've done any sort of rally. Although we got stuck in some horrific traffic on the way home from DC, staying the extra couple of hours yesterday for the Code Pink FReep was well worth it! We chuckled for hours afterward at what a bunch of pathetic losers the Pinkos were, especially their "spokesman"(?) and that childish little parade they staged in front of the White House. They looked like a bunch of demented cartoon characters. LOL

It was nice to see Nofel again and meet his son Amar (hope I spelled their names correctly). They were an invaluable addition to our FReep yesterday. Code Pinko Queen Medea Benjamin was over there in her burka labelling herself as "an Iraqi citizen". Nofel pointed out that he is a genuine Iraqi citizen, and he is one of millions of Iraqis who is thankful that President Bush and our military freed 25 million Iraqi citizens.

Our unwavering chant, as we faced the Code Pink commies, led by Doctor Raoul and tgslTakoma (using Raoul's world's largest bullhorn): "8 million Iraqis gave you guys the finger!" (meaning the Purple Finger of Freedom) The DC Chapter FReepers had created foam "hands" that some of us wore, proudly displaying a purple finger.

I was so enthused by the many passers-by (mostly tourists taking pics of the White House, then us) who sided with us, especially the young dad holding his baby who came over to talk to us when our FReep got started. He told Kristinn and Raoul that he is in the military and just got home from serving several months in Iraq. He was thanking US for being out there yesterday. Good heavens... I made sure I said 'thank you' to him for HIS service to our country. What an honor... I feel so unworthy of these brave guys.

Although yesterday and Saturday night's WH Correspondents Assoc. dinner FReep was fun, we realize that you - tgslTakoma, Kristinn, Doctor Raoul and other DC Chapter FReepers who regularly plan and execute these rallies - usually face FAR more hostile situations in DC with these commies, and we again THANK YOU for being out there on the front lines for us. Yesterday's Code Pinko FReep was most certainly a "cakewalk" due to your unrelenting efforts over the past several years to counter their poisonous anti-American messages. They are definitely losing steam! :-)

Thanks for making the trip all the way down from Connecticut!
