What an incredibly clever idea!

Who’d a thunk it? Shredders! Perfect!

Can’t wait to see the pics.

From the Columbia Missourian -- the excerpt about this year's activities...

While most of the crowd enjoyed the sights inside the air show, protesters were outside the gates.

Jared Hoft, from Mid-Missouri Peaceworks, handed out neon green leaflets seeking a more solemn observance of Memorial Day. *cough* I saved one -- I'll try to type excerpts of their BS later, if you can stomach it.

“You can shred it later if you want,” Hoft joked, as an air show attendee took a leaflet.

Ten feet ahead, Rita Preckshot and Bill Vaughn of a counterprotest group, Operation Simply Shred, held battery-operated shredders and trash bags, offering to shred those leaflets.

Members of Peaceworks have protested the show for more than 10 years. The shredders have been at the air show since 2005 with “Support the Troops” signs.

Both sides were a small presence Saturday. Operation Simply Shred had seven shredders, and Peaceworks had about 12 people handing out leaflets.

While both sides said there had been confrontations in the past, Capt. Mike Martin of the Columbia Police Department said there were no issues with either group Saturday.

Nah, no agenda here. Move along people, nothing to see.

I'm not sure -- I assume at the local Office supply store.

Some more pics?
Where are the ones you've posted?

I'll be brief. I thought this was a dumb idea by people with way too much time on their hands when I opened this thread; but as I read it I found myself smiling a lot and now all I've got to say is...

Where do I sign up?

Kudos to you, Blue and Dog and Lee.

I can imagaine Haim was being a rabid dog and saying silly stuff to Dog, lol! I heard he said you all were "Nazi's" like he said last year. I got into his face when he said that to me and Prov's husband last year. Man, I was about to explode, but I didn't. Haha.

That is perhaps the main reason I didn't go to the Air show this year and help out. I am not able to deal with silly moonbats who have no clue on what freedom is and what it takes to stay free in this ever-increasing crazy world.

Annoying the moonbats was a bonus.

Quality time spent with quality folks providing a quality service -- and a bonus, too! Who could ask for more?

You have no idea how much I applaud (and yes, envy a bit) your energy and your service!

Bump!
