What a great day it was for Freeping! We were a little worried about the weather, but it was perfect most of the day. It was great seeing some of the regulars, CD, mykdsmom, overtaxed, whimpycat and others as well such as dei23, dstar, GOPPat, and more I can't think of right now. It was especially exciting meeting new people who had just heard of Free Republic and will be checking us out. There are so many people out there who don't know about Free Republic and are looking for a place to interact with like-minded conservatives. These rallies are great advertisement!
I had one polite, young guy come over from the other side and was questioning whether he was on the "correct" side or not. Don't know why he picked me out to talk to or if he spoke with anyone else. He just didn't understand why we couldn't buy the idea of more inspectors. When I explained to him that Saddam would still be there hiding all of his WMD and whenever the inspectors left, it would be the same old problem only bigger, he realized there was no logical solution doing it his way. It was like a lightbulb went off when he thought it through to the end. Well, you never know, maybe there's hope for that kid.

I loved having the young NC State students there. They had some great one-liners. Wish they'd had a bullhorn!

MKM, thanks for posting the pictures!
