What is a dangerous crowd?

They will soil their pants when Libertina shows up.

Can I bring my big 13 star Betsy Ross flag? One poster said I think they are a dangerous crowd. Big deal. Whatever. I think they are a bunch of dorks my self.

Yes, the Puget Sound FReeper Chapter is extremely dangerous.

• At our first meeting in June 1998, the FBI sent an undercover agent to spy on us.
• We've been actively drinking home brewed beer -- bless you, Billthedrill -- since our first West Seattle FReeper Meet in 1999.
• We've eaten bear pastrami and corned elk made from game shot by a Puget Sound Freeper!
• We marched during the Disputed Election of 2000 and braved one finger salutes and enough spit to fill up the Maple Leaf reservoir.

Ever since I stepped down as Chapter Executive and passed the baton to Libertina, the chapter has been very active politically. (I was just a social secretary.)

Or were you saying the liberal demonstrators were the dangerous crowd?

Actually, they are anti-American cowards.

Time to send the 'hard hats'.....

I remember 1969 in Chicago. If you're old enough to recall, until then, nobody - except for some hippies and Peter Fonda wannabes - wore American flags on their clothes or hats. That was a no-no. Anyway, at the height of the protests in front of the Federal Courthouse where the trial of the "Chicago 7" (Abbie Hoffman, Renny Davis, Tom Hayden, Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale, Lee Weiner, John Froines) was underway, the construction workers downtown - the "hardhats" - had a belly-full of seeing NVA flags carried around and hearing the favorite chant of the protesters, "Ho-Ho-Ho Chi Minh, NLF is gonna win!" One day, the "hardhats" put American flag stickers on their hardhats and at noon, thousands upon thousands of union and non-union iron workers, sheet metal workers, carpenters, cement finishers, plumbers, electricians, painters, laborers, etc. all walked off their jobs and confronted the unwashed rabble of anti-American protesters and pounded lumps on them! They routed the scum out of downtown and made sure they didn't come back. Ever since then, wearing the American flag on a hardhat has been de riguer, as the whole country took a shine to wearing the flag. The "hardhats" gained a reputation and during that time were feared by hippie and Yippie scum. The hardhats brought the peace to Chicago. I remember. My dad was one of them.
