Yesterday was my third freep and the best time I've had at one so far. I don't go to these things under any illusion that we'll ever outnumber the other side--they're a little too good at calling up numbers of people with nothing better to do. I go because I've noticed that many passersby are actually RELIEVED to see us--they get a look on their face that says "Wow, there ARE sane people here after all, maybe the world has not gone completely crazy."
I spent too many years in this town being "polite" in response to far-left rudeness (that's how I was raised, to be "polite" to jackasses in social situations), but no more. I don't worry about offending them anymore. They SHOULD be offended on a regular basis. And reminded that they really are on the fringe.
Hi, Manhattan Patriot. Glad you found us. Yesterday was my third freep and the best time I've had at one so far.

How's your watercolors doing?I spent too many years in this town being "polite" in response to far-left rudeness (that's how I was raised, to be "polite" to jackasses in social situations), but no more.
