New York area FReepers need to FReep the daylights out of these morons.
Hope word gets out to the rest of NYC about these goofs, as they will be less restrained in their displeasure than FReepers will. Might want to pass on this info. to some construction worker union shops and firehouses. I'm sure they would have a few choice words for these idiots.
'hellinahandcart' seems to be leading up the NYC FReep counter protest. FReep mail him for coordination info. If nothing else just show up with flags.

On September 11, 2001, America was violently "raped" by a faceless "mass murderer". We as a nation are greatly saddened as we learn that as a result of this vicious "rape", there are now "products of conception" growing within the "womb" of this nation. The conceived has been given the name "Peace Protestor". As the Peace Protestor grows and its movements are felt deep within us, we are sickened that it could possibly even exist at such an unplanned and unwanted time of terror. We are further enraged that it was conceived by violent rape. The victim, America, is so young and innocent and unsuspecting that such an act could even occur. We can not bear to have this unwanted "product" grow within us. In this extreme case surely it is one of those rare exceptions where "abortion" IS acceptable and even medically indicated to save the life of the mother- America. The pain of bearing this within us any longer is too great. We must act soon to abort it before it gets too big. WAIT! What are we saying? Are we not Pro-Life? We do not believe in abortion for ANY reason no matter how unplanned, unwanted or unhealthy the conception is...even rape. We, this time reluctantly, are still Pro-Life....
Life of the Unborn......
Life of the Constitution.....
and even Life of the "Peace Protestor" growing within the body of this nation.

We'll have good fall weather tomorrow and hopefully a good turnout. We're pumped. We're psyched. We smell fear.
We're looking forward to this.
Yeah, funny how quiet these same people were then. And you didn't hear a peep about Vieques either, and now the whiners can't shut up about it even after bush said "Okay, we'll leave by 2003". (Spit! Spit!)
George, please, I'm begging you...break your word on Vieques. Tell them "Tough caca". For me, because I dislike ingrates. Pretty please?
See you guys tomorrow.
Some things never change:
Anti-War Demonstrators Should Think Twice
September 27, 2001
By David Horowitz
The following "open letter to anti-war demonstrators" is running as a paid advertisement in college newspapers across the country:
I am a former anti-war activist who helped to organize the first campus demonstration against the war in Vietnam at the University of California, Berkeley in 1962. I appeal to all those young people who participated in "anti-war" demonstrations on 150 college campuses this week, to think again and not to join an "anti-war" effort against America’s coming battle with international terrorism.
The hindsight of history has shown that our efforts in the 1960s to end the war in Vietnam had two practical effects. The first was to prolong the war itself. Every testimony by North Vietnamese generals in the postwar years has affirmed that they knew they could not defeat the United States on the battlefield, and that they counted on the division of our people at home to win the war for them. The Vietcong forces we were fighting in South Vietnam were destroyed in 1968. In other words, most of the war and most of the casualties in the war occurred because the dictatorship of North Vietnam counted on the fact Americans would give up the battle rather than pay the price necessary to win it. This is what happened. The blood of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, and tens of thousands of Americans, is on the hands of the anti-war activists who prolonged the struggle and gave victory to the Communists.
The second effect of the war was to surrender South Vietnam to the forces of Communism. This resulted in the imposition of a monstrous police state, the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent South Vietnamese, the incarceration in "re-education camps" of hundreds of thousands more, and a quarter of a century of abject poverty imposed by crackpot Marxist economic plans, which continue to this day. This, too, is the responsibility of the so-called anti-war movement of the 1960s.
I say "so-called anti-war movement," because while many Americans were sincerely troubled by America’s war effort, the organizers of this movement were Marxists and radicals who supported a Communist victory and an American defeat. Today the same people and their youthful followers are organizing the campus demonstrations against America’s effort to defend its citizens against the forces of international terrorism and anti-American hatred, responsible for the September attacks.
I know, better than most, the importance of protecting freedom of speech and the right of citizens to dissent. But I also know better than most, that there is a difference between honest dissent and malevolent hate, between criticism of national policy, and sabotage of the nation’s defenses. In the 1960s and 1970s, the tolerance of anti-American hatreds was so high, that the line between dissent and treason was eventually erased. Along with thousands of other New Leftists, I was one who crossed the line between dissent and actual treason. (I have written an account of these matters in my autobiography, Radical Son). I did so for what I thought were the noblest of reasons: to advance the cause of "social justice" and "peace." I have lived to see how wrong I was and how much damage we did — especially to those whose cause we claimed to embrace, the peasants of Indo-China who suffered grievously from our support for the Communist enemy. I came to see how precious are the freedoms and opportunities afforded by America to the poorest and most humble of its citizens, and how rare its virtues are in the world at large.
If I have one regret from my radical years, it is that this country was too tolerant towards the treason of its enemies within. If patriotic Americans had been more vigilant in the defense of their country, if they had called things by their right names, if they had confronted us with the seriousness of our attacks, they might have caught the attention of those of us who were well-meaning but utterly misguided. And they might have stopped us in our tracks.
This appeal is for those of you who are out there today attacking your country, full of your own self-righteousness, but who one day might also live to regret what you have done.

Call them what they are. They side with those who want us dead.
Oh! I reject those things too. I guess we'll just give up that childish "war" idea.
Oh, wait! The terrorists practice racial, religious and ethnic violence against US!
Looks like war after all. Sorry kids.
Wish I was rich enough to be a communist too.
