I'm not sure why, but a moonbat holding one end of their banner decided to just fall back. She appeared okay but needed help getting up.
Maybe she felt light headed because for the first time in months, they had us out numbered; or maybe the flags on the banner, and the freedom they represent, was holding we too heavy to hold. Our freedom isn't too heavy for our brave militarys' shoulders.

The Quackers now have a play about themselves. They didn't like the Christmas spirit play so they changed the forum.
FReepers and Lurkers in attendance was small today. We were: Lurker Bill and his daughter, iMacMan, [Mrs] Trooprally ([Mrs] T), and myself.
But we still received more honks and waves than the moonbats. iMacMan's famous pics are later in the thread.

After Olney, iMacMan, Lurker Bill and I went to Westminster's FReep. Olney Keith met us there on his was back from being out of town. In Westminster there were 13 Eagles, FReepers and Lurkers vs 16 of the moonbats. Once again we had a great time with lots of salutes, honks and waves.
Below are iMacMan's famous pics.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
But a lot of verbal engagement in Olney is always welcome.
If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney See Post 39 Here. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.
A special Thanks to a FReeper FRiend for enhancing the original plain type directions.
The Archive of Olney FReeps is here or in the LINKS section of Trooprally's ABOUT Page.
WEATHER UPDATES HERE.
[Mr] & [Mrs] T
She apparently has some health problems. I prefer to criticize their message and their actions.
If she appeared to be hurt or in distress I wouldn’t have posted it. After she was helped up she remained at her position for the remainder of the 15 minutes they were there.
I guess that I could have mentioned this in the thread to save you time in posting.
[Mr] T
And I hope I haven’t distracted you from the cause.
Another great week!
It looks like Fall is really in full “bloom” there!
I see the leaves on the ground and the heavy coats are each in evidence.
Thanks for being there.

It's been almost two years since we started in Olney and there is a lot of history.
Whenever an emergency vehicle with sirens blaring, comes thru the intersection, we lower our signs so as not to distract drivers. Moonbats do not.
During Week 29 there was an accident (pictures aren't coming up on the thread for some reason) in the intersection. BELOW is Lurker Gavin standing with the car's occupants while the moonbats held their signs through the whole event.
And one moonbat accosted a jogger. We reported the incident and police came two weeks later to talk to the moonbats. The moonbat that accosted the jogger hasn't been out in Olney for months.
Victoria, as in Australia?
[Mr] T
But thinking about your 80 degree temps helps to keep us warm!! :-))
[Mr] T
I may be AWOL this week. A cold is trying deserately to catch me.
Remember. It’s quality not quantity that makes a rally! We’re always outnumbered in Studio City, CA, but we have more quality that they could ever muster!
Keep up the great work! Never give up! Surrender is not an option! God bless you all!
Thanks for the support. Lurker Bill’s young daughter even knows that the quality of even one FReeper is better than they can ever muster.
Our weekly support has picked up after the Thanksgiving holidays. We even had two WWII vets with us this past Saturday. Working on that AAR tonight.
[Mr] T
Always glad to give kudos! Your folks in Olney and at Walter Reed are the best! Lurker Bill taught his daughter well! Thankfully she listened! Good for her!
Glad to hear that your numbers have picked up. WOW! Two WWII vets! Gotta love these guys! I’m honored everytime I get to meet one, and if I get to spend time it is icing on the cake! Please encourage them to write or record their stories. Their families and the nation need to have them. They might not seem as if they are that significant, but please assure them that they are.
Take care! Merry Christmas!
I’ll check with them and the Korean War Vets to see if they have or are willing to do so. In Olney we don’t really have time to go in depth with their war tales - Too many honks and waves to respond to.
[Mr] T
Just to be clear. I was suggesting that the vets do that on their own.
If you’re going up to Walter Reed tonight, pass on our good wishes, please. Have a great FReep wherever you are! Hope you don’t get snowed out. I saw the weather report. BRRRRR! Take care.
