Guess it depends on what the meaning of "is" is or the meaning of "patriotic" is. Guess we need to be more "sensitive" to their little patriotic feelings. /sarcasm

[Overtaxed]

I've got your "sensitivity" right here.

[Ides of March]

Wonder what kind of girls they were figuring to meet.

Perhaps the one in front with the green hair?

[Overtaxed]

LOL!

[ncweaver]

Perhaps the one in front with the green hair?

Or perhaps the one who walked in front of us with the peace sign made out of twigs and leaves?

[Overtaxed]

Yeah....Topiary Girl!

I missed you guys yesterday; I've been on FORCED (as in "I best do it here or you can call me at Rex") bedrest for "the walking pneumonia," as my grandmother use to call it, since late Friday.

But I did see you all on TV late last night; you all looked great! And you certainly seemed saner than the pinkos they had on camera for the haters. (Where DO they find those women??)

[wimpycat]

Oh, I hope you get better soon!

My mom saw us on the news, and she saw the female from the other side who was interviewed, who said, "I don't believe Iraq has WMD's and even if they did, they are a long way away from us." My mom said they should put people like that on TV more often, to show how stupid they are.

[Howlin]

I saw her, too! I hardly know what to make about people like that. Except that I don't want them NEAR me. (That's why I'm staying away from my in-laws.)

Great job Freepers!!!!!!!!!!

[mykdsmom]

We missed you Howlin and you missed a HE!! of a great time.

Hope you're feeling better soon. Doesn't look like you'd be going anywhere today anyhow. We just went out to the car to try and go to the camper show at the fairgrounds. We ended up coming back in the house, there was a thick coating of ice on all of the windows of the car and the braches were starting to get covered. Looks like we're gonna get hit again, lets hope we keep our power this time.

OH NO...I can't believe how many people are sick! We are dealing with the flu over here which is why I'm up at 3 AM. Just praying I don't get it, but my chances of avoiding it are probably SLIM.

Take care of yourself! Maybe we can get together for our March 4th FR meeting.

[Howlin]

Hey, at least we have power!

[dei23]

Why is the press not asking who is funding these so-called "anti-war" protests? The World Workers Party is one of the groups behind and funding the protest. Here is their stated view "What is our basic view? We're for socialism." There is an agenda behind the "anti-war" movement and it has little if anything to do with war.

I have begun e-mail the press to ask them this very question.

Peaceniks on the Confederate Monument.
Note what appears to be a Palestinian flag held (appropriately) left of center in the photo.

Wider shot of the peacenik crowd. Sorry about the minivan!

[Constitution Day]

Ping!

Photo taken looking down our side.
Guy in green jacket just read about the rally in the paper; arm in camo jacket belongs to FReeper 'dstarr'.

More of OUR SIDE!
The gentleman in the VFW hat is dstarr's husband.
I believe I saw a Bronze Star on his hat. Thanks for your service, and for coming out to join us!

Good job Bud.

Damn, do I hate hippies.
