My arms are so sore from holding up my sign I can barely type this, but here it goes.
We got there about 11:30 and scouted out the place where we thought would be the best corner. There was one peacenik (whoops, sorry, I will refer to them as traitors from this point forward) with her sign folded in half, like she was ashamed of what was on it! After our freep, I am certain she was sorry she came!
Left_Coast_Conservative and I found our corner and started freeping. Left Coast’s sign said GOD BLESS AMERICA and mine said HONK FOR OUR SOLDIERS. Soon after, Tax and Luvya Dubya2000 arrived with a big bunch of trailing balloons with God Bless America printed on them. It was very effective. They were flying across the street so it brought attention to our group! They also brought a CD player with Lee Greenwood’s patriotic music and we sang and freeped. It was so wonderful it almost brought tears to my eyes
Please note: never mess with Luvya. She can out holler any freeper around. We were a small group but we were loud and of course the cacophony of car horns drove the traitors crazy. So much that they came over to our side of the street with there signs. Our Honk for our Soldiers sign created so much attention that they redid one of their signs and it said “Honk for Peace”. People in cars were giving them the “you know what” and of course they deserved it! They tried to ruin our freep by invading our corner but we were loud, patriotic, and we stood our ground. One guy with a UN flag in his hat came over and he stayed for about two minutes. These Sacramento women freepers scared the hell out of him. We whipped out our can of Whoop-Ass on him!!! He was one sorry ass peacenik!!! These traitors are so pathetic!
EricT. brought his three beautiful daughters and they were singing the patriotic songs and waving flags. Nothing better than to have children at a freep. It is a little hard on them though! Budweisest was there freeping and taking pictures, at bay brought a very creative sign especially for the “traitors”. I will let him describe it…he had way too much fun. Comwatch came with his group of patriots.
All the police cars that drove by honked their horn along with firefighters who were going to an emergency. EMTs gave a long beep. I would say 85 percent of the people that drove by honked their horn or gave us the thumbs up!! It was wonderful.
I cannot believe the support we got from the public! It was overwhelming! Other freepers, who are more eloquent than I please share your thoughts with Freepers about our Support America rally. It was beautiful man!!!!!!
Tax will be posting pictures and please, Sacramento freepers, add comments this post. I did not do justice to our freep. Please excuse any typos, bad grammar, or anything else that doesn’t sound coherent. I am tired!
This would make an excellent poster!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice work, gang. I'm proud of ya!
Peace is:
1 Barracks
1 USS Cole
2 Embassies
2 towers
2 late!!
I'm so proud of you. Well done!!
Had to find a new way to post these. I did edit it but then the site would not accept it.
So, I hope sideways is better than noways....
Some people laid on their horn and didn't let up 'till the light turned green. With the exception of those on the other sidewalks carrying signs and willing to make peace with the Taliban, those who passed by were very supportive-as in 'United We Stand' supportive.
That goof-ball with the Nixon mask and sign declaring that our involvement was 'all about oil' gave us a wide berth as he headed for the crosswalk and safety on the other side of the street.
I came away realizing that after the kick-in-the-nuts received on 9-11 that a huge resevoir of Pro-Americanism has surfaced, one that trancends all boundries- race, color, you name it. The brothers and sisters that honked and gave thumbs up to our flags and signs reminded me just how many serve in our military and that, when they see 'soldier', they aren't thinking 'sista solja', but about a loved one serving this country.
Some of those who responded to our flags:
An old woman whose station wagon could fall apart any minute-stood on her horn.
A sewer-D-rooter guy who Comwatch had fun talking to.
Many older couples driving Lexus's or pickups.
People in motorhomes.
People flying by 'cause they had the light, but still laid on the horn.
A little kid (11 or so) who leaned on his mother's horn right in front of us(we let him know he did well).
People in new cars, old cars, new trucks, old work trucks, in the far-away left-turn lane, straining to honk and see if we noticed-we did. They all honked to let us know they appreciated our message.
I'd like to thank notaliberal for this opportunity to see first-hand what is going on in the minds of my fellow Americans. A very large sample and I can assure you, the results were very encouraging.
Sorry this is so long, time to get back, Lorreta.
I have no doubt that LuvyaDubya can holler.
Can LuvyaDubya out shout a 6' 4" union thug hired for a Gore/Lieberman campaign stop like Matchett-PI did in Orlando on October 5th, 2000?
The veins in the thug's neck were about to explode when Matchett-PI went face-to-face with him
and called him a "feminized male".
Thank God the Orlando Police officer on horseback rode between the two. I swear that if the officer had not separated the two, the union thug would've probably busted a gasket!
Ask any Florida FReepers who have FReeped with Matchett-PI about her vocal veracity.
Now, whats your wager?
Way to go folks. This is what it's all about. God bless.
Bravo to the Sacramento Freepers!
