Well, there was a car show in DC.
Macy's had a sale.
Oh, and the National Review was having some kind of shindig at the JW Marriott, where for an investment of only a few hundred dollars, people were able to rub elbows with conservative celebs.
And the Metro would have been crowded.
And traffic would be a mess.
And it was cold.
And if we ignore them, they will go away.
We'd be screwed if our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines had the same attitude. "Oh geez! It's too cold outside! Well, I'm stayin' in, then."
1,764 registered Freepers flying a DC, MD or VA flag. 40 showed up, and of that number, 1 drove down from NJ, one from Philadelphia, two from NC.
What angers me most is that nearly a dozen of our 40-odd group were members of the military - and most of them were wounded soldiers from Walter Reed. Not only did they volunteer to defend us from enemies overseas, but now, after suffering life-changing injuries, they had to come and defend themselves against the idiot leftists, because everybody else was too wrapped up in their own lives to even give a second thought to defending our troops.
That's very sad.
Don't forget your West Coast rep!
Disk surgery soon....(sigh)...
What else can be said? Thanks...great job!
I'm with you, Takoma! It galls me that so many say "we'd be there but ____"! I'm sooo tired of only Mac and I going up against these guys week after week, and people saying how great it is that we are out there, but they can't seem to pick up a sign or flag! And California is the home of Free Republic! I don't care where they are from, people better get out and show their support, instead of excuses! Putting a magnet or flag on your car doesn't cut it anymore! Put your butt on the corner!
STAND UP AMERICA...NOW! IT IS THE ELEVENTH HOUR!
GOD BLESS THOSE WHO RALLY FOR THE TROOPS AND AMERICA!
I tend to get "tunnel vision" and concentrate on what we can do, what we can exploit to maximize our impact. Even when it's slow, the wheels are usually turning loooking for a target of opportunity. Too bad liberals take away our time from honoring heros.
And the people who come out on a cold day to stand up for those heros, they're my heros too. Especially you and all you do. PS: Jane hates you for the big ass on the effigy.
The car show was available for six days so there's no excuse there.
