SUCCESS IS SWEET, one person at a time.
This week we had a surprise visit from a young lady who discovered the true difference between FRee Republic's Support of our Troop and the peace activist's faux support of the troops.
Several months ago, this lady, previously known to us as Peek-A-Boo2 was driving threw Olney and saw the two groups in Olney. Wanting, as we all want, peace in the world, she kind of liked a couple of the signs of the peace group. She wasn't to keen on their other signs. She was curious about our side but didn't see any 'peace' signs.
In talking to the 'peace' activists, she learned about their websites and blogs and also about FRee Republic.
In visiting the 'peace' sites, she learned about their true agenda: PeaceActionMC's (started by a "certain religious group" in the Olney area) association with anti-America organizations such as ANSWER, United for Peace & Justice and Global Exchange, the using of the troops' deaths for political gain, Raging Grannies vandalism at the Silver Spring, MD, Recruitment Center (in which some activists called childish and encouraged more destructive actions), about Code Pink giving money to the insurgents in Iraq, and Code Pink's demonstration, trespassing and their arrest at Rumsfeld's house and CP's giving of 600k plus to the terrorists.
Her first week on the corner several months ago, when she learned of us taking pics, she kept her face covered. This earned the title of Peek-A-Boo2. Looking back now, she thinks it must have been her gut feeling that she was on the wrong corner.
The other indication that she was on the wrong corner was some of the activities of the moonbats. She was asked early on to go to D.C. to help barge into the Senate building and if she would mind getting arrested. The 'peace' activists ask her to get arrested to test her, we ask her out to lunch.
She told us that there are several real anti-American socialists on their corner. Barking Waveman, Peek-A-Boo and one that we'll call "J" are three, but they are not part of a "certain religious group". The "certain religious group" members protesting out here just seem to be misguided about how to help the troops and are sucked into the moonbats mindset, without really knowing how anti-American the other groups do. But they are guilty by association so we'll keep up our FReep and verbally engaging them all. Mr. Bull Horn does a great job of engaging them and pointing out their hypocrisy.
As previously mentioned in other Olney AARs, Doctor Raoul saw Barking Waveman in Philly last month and Kristinn saw him and one of the moonbats in D.C. last week. The moonbat "J" went to Jordan and Syria in December with the other anti-Americans.
In looking at FRee Republic, she learned that we really do support our Troops. She was able to link to various milblogs and learn what good is really happening in Iraq and Afghanistan. She realized just how biased the MSM really is and how much is NOT reported about the DemoRats misdeeds.
Two weeks ago, she gave the 'peace' activists her own manifesto. We received a copy of it today. It gives detailed examples with web links, of how the 'peace' groups are not really peaceful and don't support the troops. Their activities want to undermine the American way of life and liberty. Her manifesto questions how this "certain religious group" in Olney can support such groups.
NOTE: For you "Troll Busters" out there, the Olney FReepers have vetted this person and feel comfortable that she is NOT a troll. We went to our regular lunch spot after the FReep and had her come along. The group grilled her well. No pics will be posted of her on this AAR. She doesn't want anyone who knows her to think she is a moonbat even though she spent some misguided time over with them.
I am also making a distinction between the "certain religious group" and the moonbats to keep this thread from being pulled. I'll only make the mistake once of berating a religious group by name, even if the are in the moonbat's camp.
The rest of the FReep went well. While extremely overcast, the rain had not materialized. We had 10 FReepers to their ten moonbats. FReepers and Lurkers included: Apple Blossom, BMWcyle, aka Mr. Bull Horn, and daughter, Cindy_True_Supporter (CTS), Fraxinus, Lurker Bill (aka Lurker Bill from MD on Walter Reed AARs) and daughter, [Mrs] Trooprally [Mrs] T, and myself.
Pics are all by [Mrs] T.

BELOW LEFT: Fraxinus, CTS and BMWcyle before he transformed into Mr. Bull Horn. Mr. Bull Horn reminded the moonbats of their idiotic, senseless signs. It was also good to see Mr. Bull Horn off his crutches. BELOW RIGHT: Lurker Bill with others in background.
TOKEN MOONBAT PICTURES.
BELOW LEFT: Ex. FReeper with Peek-A-Boo talking to wondering moonbat from last week. He didn't win any arguments with us last week and stayed on his corner this week. I wonder if he won his argument with Peek A Boo. The guy left early after arriving late if that means anything. BELOW RIGHT: Peek-A-Boo's new sign. She may be right. Maybe we should go directly into Iran and Syria so they have to call back their infiltrators to help defend their Islamofascists states. That way Iraq will be free of foreign insurgents.

[Mr] & [Mrs] T and the Olney FReepers
Gaining recruits one person at a time. Thank you all for your steadfastness.
Hope you can gain more and more for the corners. Same goes for WR freep on Fridays. Sure wish I was close enough and able to help. Always with you in spirit.
The Legionnaires are a great help. The Iwo Jima vet's wife is recovering from a health problem, but he'll be back soon. Fraxinus recently moved closer to Olney so he's attending on a regular bases. And then the newbie from last week will be there. So I'm really up beat.
And of course with no permits required in the County, we can also stand on the moonbats corner with sarc/ signs.
With WR, before the pinkos were moved off the corners at the gate, some FReepers came for the excitement. We generally still get 20+ FReepers though. Far cry from the previous 35 average but we have plenty of exposure on each corner.
RE your "Sure wish I was close enough and able to help."
The support we get on the threads is great. One can do what they can. [Mrs] T and I are certainly appreciative for that.
[Mr] T
Thank you for lunch and having the chance to talk with all of you.
Our pleasure. Will you be there this Saturday?
[Mr] T
I will definitely try and make it, even though there will be some folks not too happy about it.
Thanks go to the Olney pro-troops stalwarts for their dedication and success!
Backimg Waveman also manages to make it to NYC to support the communist front group actions there.
I have mixed feelings about your group. I'd love to be up in that area with you, freeping and enjoying your company. BUT, I live in Sarasota and I can see from your clothing that I really enjoy living much further south.
Nonetheless, I'm there in spirit!! Iggles made a noisy thud when they hit the windshield.
I loved your report of 'Ms Peek A Boo' and the pictures are great - daylight!!
Thanks for the ping
Who is "Ex. FReeper?"
The guy holding the "Mourn the Dead" sign in the pictures claims to be a member of the Free Republic. He posted on our threads a time or two I think, Mr. T can tell you which dates. He tried to engage us in conversation and wanted to be friends. We gave him a pretty good tongue lashing both in person and on the thread to let him know we weren't interested. He disappeared for awhile, but it looks like he's back.
I'm glad we could finally meet you and share lunch with you.
Great AAR as always! Keep up the great work .
Congratulations! "The Truth shall set you free" is proven to be valid once again. And for those who say "streetfreeping" isn't any use, here's living proof otherwise.
