The peaceniks had scheduled February 15th as their big day to protest the war. They failed to place an order for good weather. Though the anti-America crowd was very large, five Mid-Missouri Patriots gathered with umbrellas and warm clothing to try to counter the damage done to our country by weasel-tongued faux-pacifists.
One highlight of the morning was when an older woman came across the street to yell at DogRobber, calling him names like moron and idiot and praising the words and position of the Trifecta of Old Europe, France, Germany and Belgium. What was surreal was that she was FRENCH! Bretmilk could not resist and asked her if she spoke German and when she relied No, he said your welcome. Of course, being French, she didnt even notice the import of his words. I guess you really cannot get a Frenchwomans attention unless you march into Paris with 10 Divisions. I suppose if we had gotten nasty with her she would have surrendered right there in the street. Always the gentleman, DogRobber was ready to loan her his white handkerchief (chivalry is not dead in Missouri).
As if we needed more entertainment, the peaceniks brought out their drums and maracas and did some strange dance steps (looking suspiciously like the old funky-chicken) as they encouraged each other to fall into line for their march to the courthouse one block away. Bret observed that the unfolding scene reminded him of the Lemming, that small brown furry rodent creature that is reputed to mass together in large chittering numbers and blindly follow their leaders off a cliff. Unfortunately, the Missouri River Bluffs are twenty miles out of town and these Lemmings didnt seem to have the stamina to make it that far.
Although we were soaked to the bone, and our signs were limp with the letters dripping off, we left happy. Bret, his wife, and Prov, with Zip joining them, intend to do it all again in Jefferson City when the peaceniks there march to the Capital Building. Lets hope the roads dont freeze until after their travels, or is that travails? It is mental torture trying to deal with the peaceniks.
Oh, and the Capital Building is on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River! (High Lemming Risk?)
This is Missouri. If you don't like the weather, wait an hour.
Drippy letters.

Good report and pictures.
You should have told the French woman the only reasn the French are afraid of war is because theyve never won one.

Thanks for the great after-action report and pictures. You were there and I do hope you ticked off the peaceniks.
If the Missouri weather looks to be "drippy" for the next protest, just use a roll of clear packing tape and cover the entire sign -- edges also. That will protect the sign from swelling, tearing or smearing. A large piece of clear plastic film taped all around will do the trick also.
Thanks again. FReep On!
