Moonbats Get Stuck in Mud, Fail to Show for Protest!
At least that's one excuse. We don't really know what happened, but the anarchists and spoiled brats from the Encampment to Stop the War steered clear of Walter Reed today.
We declared Victory! around 5pm and packed up our flags and signs... then it started to rain ... and the "Encampment" inhabitants most certainly were not happy campers. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Actually, these cheapskates were trying to get in out of the rain by getting arrested rather than pay for a hotel room. *sigh*
Cindy-True-Supporter and Mike Sparling made several reconnaissance missions around the base to see if the kommie kooks were protesting on the 16th Street entrance. Nobody there. (If anyone saw a moonbat, please expand on the experience in the comments.)
Here's some pics of out-of-town FReepers who arrived early enough to join in the fun today.
eeevil conservative up from Georgia and iMacMan manning a corner.
Check out eeevil's radio show on AM920 WGKA every Saturday at 2pm. Also available on the web!
Necawa and Lurker Elizabeth* down from Jersey. They planned to spend the whole weekend here for the festivities on the Mall, but when they heard about today's FReep, they came flying down (in their car!).
leolf and Dad up from Texas being greeted by tgslTakoma.
Thanks to the quick-thinking and tireless FReeping of tgslTakoma, we had the permit for the usual Pinko area and kept it occupied all afternoon.
All Your Corners AND Alcoves are Belong To US!
There are a few more pics here.
The whole list of FReepers & FRiends in attendance (If I missed anyone - please let me know!): BillF, BufordP, Cindy-True-Supporter, eeevil conservative, Danang68, George & Ethel*, GunsAreOK, iMacMan, iraqikurd, leolf and Dad* up from Texas, Necawa and Mrs. Necawa down from Jersey*, PleaDeal, Sensei Ern, Taco Mamma, tgslTakoma, Trooprally [Mr. & Mrs.], WO4Man.
We'll be back at Walter Reed tomorrow night, March 16th, from 6:00 (new time!) until at least 9:30 at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW in Washington, D.C.
If you are in town for the Gathering of Eagles on Saturday, why not start your counter-protesting with us!
Maybe they meant the slaughter of tasty animals like pigs and cows and chickens and fish and, well... all the tasty animals that moonbats won't eat!
Thanks for posting your pics!!!! This is the first time in history that I beat you guys.
Hooray for iMacPics!!!!
Your space-aged Hippie Spit Deflector will also make a terrific rain/snow protector for your noggin! Great creativity, BufordP.
More great shots! Thanks for posting them!
Yeah, they were wearing leather, which was good for her; but no latex gloves not so good for them. Unsafe socialism.
Yeah and that looks like Mel Gibson inside the Hippie Spit Deflector can I get one of those kind?
GReat Pix!!!!
I can even see the faces...
LOL
thank you. as a fellow photographer, I love the graphics..
Egad! That's just awful. Prayers that you find a way, Dolly, without breaking the bank. A set of brakes shouldn't cost $1000! That's just wrong!
I know how badly you want to be there. God will find a way for you!
>The one below is a special knockout, since the evening FReeps rarely have
>the chance to get a shot like this at night
Thanks, AW.
Gotta say, I was pretty impressed with this view myself. This was only my 2nd daytime WRAMC FReep -- the other was when PHred PHelps brought the WBC gaggle to the main gate. We had our backs to the building that day, and I don't even remember glancing at that building once.
When I think about how big this facility really is, land area, # of buildings, etc., moving all this capability and potential to Bethesda Naval (and leaving the space to developers) doesn't seem to make any sense at all.
It was front & back & some related things. My neighbor said that was very in line with what was done...nothing on cars is reasonable.. and this is an old van with high mileage. BUT it is the better of my two vans. The other has a major gas leak & transmission woes
I know God will find a way if I am to go... maybe he wants me to stay home...
Knowing God's will is often difficult..
Well, I know what I have to do RIGHT now.. wash out the hair coloring that was to have been washed out 45 minutes ago. My hair will be the color of Laura's also!
lol...
It's 116 acres, not counting the off-site leased facilities. What I don't like about the consolidation plan is that, in a time of terrorism, it will remove a military base that is close to the Federal area downtown, and enable a "two-fer" up at Bethesda instead. That's crazy.
Dolly, your safety must come first. If you do go on the road and break down, remember that you will be upping the ante, both of costs and dangers to yourself. I know you will make the right decision.
I believe that sincere prayers from afar are just as effective as being here, even though that may not seem as fulfilling to our human need for connection with one another. One way or another, we know you are with us.
LOL! I still look forward to pictures of your new "do"!
God answers prayers in many ways, but I will just pray that He wants you to be there to support the good guys. Sorry that happened with your vehicle.
>I can even see the faces...
Thanks!
YOUR pictures are the great ones! Especially the ones of your pets. I'm sure you know all the tricks -- the easy stuff: zoom in tight, set the cam to max # of px, least (or no) image compression; in PS: crop tighter, brighten as needed, resize so the browser doesn't have to do it, use unsharp filter so the details are sharp & finally (the tough part), save with enough compression so the dialup folks can load it but NOT so much that the sharpness is lost.
Oh, almost forgot, "glam blur" the ladies as necessary (of course, NEVER needed for FReepers)!
Sorry to hear about your van. I drive a 20-yr-old global warmer, so I understand completely -- but it's a LOT cheaper than a new one. SURELY one of those handsome singles I see in your pics would GLADLY drop everything and save the day.
