Under absolutely oppressive Southern California Inland Empire August heat, the good guys showed up in force to support the President and the troops.
There were a handful of FReepers there that I recognized including bittdrvr, Blurblogger, Joy Angela, Aloha Ronnie, and RonDog. Darn, come on, who am I forgetting?
There had to be perhaps 300 there on our side, and it was refreshing to outnumber the airheads on the other side.
The anti-war, anti-American protestors, not surprisingly had their share of foul mouths and those who smelled badly when they came to our side and walked through the crowd.
It was particularly amusing to see a kid about 16 years old with a sign that said - HANDS OFF MY SOCIAL SECURITY.
They did their typical hey hey ho ho inane chants from the '60s, but they've added a few really clever ones. Over and over a guy with a bullhorn was chanting MONEY FOR JOBS, MONEY FOR FOOD, MONEY FOR JOBS, MONEY FOR FOOD, MONEY FOR SCHOOL, MONEY FOR JOBS.
The war criminal signs and no blood for oil and Bush knew are getting old. Yes, Bush knew. Bush knew what to do.
I was disappointed that I didn't have a bullhorn because the women who controlled the bullhorn on our side didn't want to use some hit 'em in the face chants --- TOJO, HITLER, MUSSOLINI, THEY WOULD LOVE YOU LEFTIST WEENIES. WHINING WEASELS GET A CLUE, THEY WOULD CUT YOUR HEADS OFF TOO.
An AP reporter and a Claremont Courier reporter did an interview with me and took notes. A local cable tv station got some stuff on film. I explained that FreeRepublic was the premier conservative activist site on the Internet. The reason I was there was to support the President and the troops. You don't support the troops if you don't support the mission.
They were also told that, if Islamists were there, they would certainly cut off my head, but they would then march across the street and cut off the leftists heads. The nitwits are clueless. In addition, I told them that from deep in the bowels of hell, Tojo, Hitler, and Mussolini were wondering where these guys were 60 years ago when they could have done them some good.
One very good note. I had a short debate with an opposition member who agreed with going into Afghanistan but not Iraq. When I told him to watch for the proof of the Iraqi connection to the OKC bombing, he made a concession. If that could be proven, he would be on our side of the street next time. I had to call Jayna Davis and pass the word to her.
It was a good, noisy, supportive crowd for the President. Now, sir, please close the borders. If he had, the crowd across the street would have been half the size.
RonDog will post photos when he can.

Thanks for the ping!
Channel 9 at 9 here in LA had great coverage of US. They didn't barely show the antis. They said the pro-Bushies outnumbered the antis quite well. Good coverage. I'm watching KTLA at 10 to see what they show. And encouraged Hugh Hewitt to cover it too -- I saw Larry Marino there, from KRLA/ 870 Talk Radio.
Great work. Without the umbrella, I would have had heatstroke.

KTTV-TV Channel 11 was there today photgraphing us, while KTLA-TV Channel 5 was not. Both are on the air at 10 pm tonight in Los Angeles.
Most of what you saw of us Pro-BUSH Demonstrators on KCAL-TV Channel 9 tonight, which should air again in the 10 pm slot in Los Angeles, also aired on that station this afternoon and on its sister station KCBS-TV Channel 2 Los Angeles during the 5 pm & 6 pm slot.
In his 1st TV Report today the KCAL/KCBS TV Reporter MARK COOGAN mistakenly reported that the 2 Demonstration camps were even in numbers. Tonight he changed that to report that we Pro-BUSH Demonstators substantially outnumbered the Anti's..!!!
BUSH's "FREEDOM for the World" Plan is THE answer.
.
Thanks for the report that Mark finally got the numbers right.
LOL -good thread subtitle.
Hey, RonDog told me to post a headline that would get noticed.
It is not only noticed -it is quite accurate.
:)
I just saw it repeated on KCAL. Once again, good work!
.
You are welcome, doug.
Good to finally see you again, instead of just hearing you all the time on Talk Radio.
Well Done, my Freeper friend, Well Done.
Ron Dog too.
