“Freedom of Speech” does not guarantee you protection from the consequences of your speech.........

The FReepers in Columbia are terrific folks!!! I have FReeped with them at the Post Office, and it was a great time!

It is always refreshing to hear the reports from Operation: Simply Shred.

Hats off to the FReepers in Columbia!!!

I live in St. Louis now... so I don't get to FReep as much as I would like....

Well, they use different tactics than I would. A portable wood chipper.....feet first.....would be much better for the distributors of the trash.

“There is no way to explain how much fun it is to make a peacenik sputter when they hear the whine of a little shredding device...”

Saving the dump from paper overload... heart warming.
Exercising your freedom of speech... patriotic.
Seeing the looks of despair on the Moonbats’ faces... PRICELESS!

The team of Operation Simply Shred is proud we have found a small way to say "Thank You" and we sincerely hope others copy the technique. There is no way to explain how much fun it is to make a peacenik sputter when they hear the whine of a little shredding device wielded by citizens who want just one day of respect for our troops and veterans, unmolested, with no pickets, flyers, cardboard caskets or upside-down flags. We hope Operation Simply Shred provided the cure for the insult and anger many would have otherwise felt. God bless our troops. Thank you veterans.

I happened to be in Columbia over the weekend. We missed the air show, but attended the parade on Monday and watched one of your FReepers in action with a portable shredder kind of of following along behind the "Veterans For Peace" contingent.

Thanks for a great job!

I was a participant in the Columbia Salute to Veterans Airshow this weekend (one of the WWI planes) and saw these fine shredder folks in action at the gate and in the parade. They were there all day, both days, and during the parade. Very effective. Wonderful work guys. My hats off to all of you...

Which one? Were you one of those that did a fly-by during the parade?

I don’t mind hearing about it twice. It’s a very unique and wonderful thing that you all have “created” and I only wish that I had thought of it myself! LOL!

Keep it up...making the nutjobs even more demented is a great goal! :D

No,  we didn't fly over the parade.  I had one of the Nieuport 11 replicas in the circle of WWI planes just inside the gate so I got to see the Shredders all day.   We flew during the airshow on Sunday but we've never flown them over the parade yet.  They only fly around 65-70 mph.
