After Action Report: The peace-niks were a handfull today, but so were the FReepers!! Longmont peace-niks are not used to our little band of patriots. They had a cow as usual. Lots of laughs at this FReep, never a dull moment. Fort Collins was proudly held strong again today by VFW Post 1781 along with FReepers and fine citizens.........

So there we are on the corner in Longmont, Colorado. FReeping the peace-niks as they arrived for our little get together. This nice woman comes up and intoduces herself, asks for a sign and FReeps with us. We get to know her for about 10 minutes, tell her all about FReerepublic, and the next thing I see is her going across the street to join the peace-niks with my sign! I think to myself, "what a brave woman" as I see her standing with them holding my new NEON pink sign saying "GOD BLESS CAPITALISM" and on the back side saying "DRILL A.N.W.R.". She was over there for a few minutes when I saw all these peace-niks giving her a hard time. Before I could get my camera out, she dashed back across the street to us. She was giving me back my sign, SHE WAS A PEACE-NIK!! She never even looked to see what the sign said that I handed her! ROFLOL!!!!!!! We split a gut laughing at her and she was SO embarrassed. I did manage to snap a picture of her running back.

This is how the FReeping was today along the Front Range of Colorado. I arrived in Fort Collins around 11:00 to do a little FReeping for our troops before the peace-niks arrived. The citizens of Fort Collins had a honk-a-thon today showing that they cared about our troops. VFW Post 1781 arrived early today and we were all set up when the 100+ peace-niks showed up as ordered by their comrads. I figure we had 25 or so on our side so no problem with those odds. FReepers today in Fort Collins were BikerTrash, Mollynme, weldgophardline and family, and CardCarryingMemberVastRightWC and family (hope I didn't leave anyone out!). We had a ball as usual. We tied the UN flag onto Jim's dog so he could drag it around on the ground. LOL! That is where the UN flag looks at it's best.

The peace-niks today had some horn players so it kind of sounded like Mardi-Gras over there. I guess it was too cold to bongo. DR. Suess the peace-nik was on his usual corner with his stupid hat on. We always get a laugh out of this guys big purple pimp hat. The Fort Collins peace-nik crowd is so contained and timid, Their signs are so stupid, uneducated and pc it is an eyesore to even look over there. Thanks to the Fort Collins crowd for reminding everyone today to Support Our Troops!!

I left Fort Collins and traveled down to Longmont hoping to beat the peace-niks to the corner. I arrived about 1:30 to the sight of about 50 peace-niks standing across the street, but none on our corner. As I parked and was getting out my signs up pulled Randall Flagg all stoked for some FReepin!!

We quickly claimed our post in front of the brewery and Started FReeping them. We were immediately joined by the parents of mollynme and CCMVRWC, and a Navy Vet who just happened to be driving by and pulled in to help. This guy was disgusted by what he saw on the other side and I handed him a sign (he did read it, LOL!) and he FReeped right along with us for about 20 minutes until he got too cold. Nice to see instant FReepers.

Soon we were joined by mollynme,weldgophardline and family,fivetoes,CardCarryingMemberVastRightWC and family, and our newest FReeper beaversmom and fine young son.

fivetoes opened up with his bullhorn and almost instantly was lectured by a peac-nik about some sort of ordinance against bullhorns. So he put it away to avoid conflict (But the few words he did get in were very choice). The peace-niks today tried a new tactic. They decided they would stand on our corner with us. Yes, I asked them some very pointed and direct questions. "So what do you guys have against the people of Iraq anyway?" I asked each of them that question. "Don't you care what Saddam is doing to his own people?" They had no real answers to these questions which would help anyone in Iraq. They were there to hold their signs and try to steal our thunder. Well, that started a series of events that ended up getting their thunder stolen. The pictures should be magnificent. CCMVRWC called this little game "prisoner exchange". If they stand in front of us with their signs, then we will stand in front of them with our signs, AND OUR SIGNS WIN!!

Off went CCMVRWC's kids to their side to hold up signs of "SADDAM'S FAN CLUB" and "BOMB SADDAM"!!LOL!! At the same time I could see our peace-nik lady friend over there with my neon sign. It was fantastic!!

Soon the peace-niks appointed some lady to come over and make dialog and peace with us. She talked the peace-niks who were on our side into going back over if we brought ours back. Prisoner exchange #1. Soon more peace-niks tried to come over on our corner only to be faced with more of our signs ending up on their side. Prisoner exchange #2. I am not sure how many times this happened but I saw 3 prisoner exchanges at least,LOL!! fivetoes I am sure got some excellent photos, to be posted soon.... Everyone had a great time and the rest of the gang should have some excellent additions to this thread.

Troops, we did it for you, THANKS!!

I would have paid to see that.

Good job Colorado!

Incredible FReeping! Just incredible! Prisoner exchange, INDEED! You all make us so proud. It seems the peaceniks are coming up with all sorts of tricks. They sure don't tolerate dissent very well, do they.

I can hardly wait to see the photos!

Sounds like we missed a good time. Can't wait to see the pics. (Esp. the lady scurrying across the street).Couldn't make it today but we plan on going up to Denver tomorrow, after church, with signs in tow. Is any one else going? If so, is there a meeting spot?

Awesome report! I cannot wait to see the pictures -- of the peacenik with your sign getting heck from her side for having it -- of the prisoner exchanges (great idea) -- of the Colorado FReepers.

FReepers sure were EVERYWHERE today! FReep On!

She was giving me back my sign, SHE WAS A PEACE-NIK!! She never even looked to see what the sign said that I handed her! ROFLOL!!!!!!!

We had a similar event at one of our Freeps. This guy shows up and I just had a feel that he was on the wrong corner. He looked like he wasn't "our type".
He is explaining that he wants to join us and that he heard about us on the radio. I thought okay, perhaps one of us got into a conservative local radio show earlier that afternoon. I was curious enough to ask which station? Once he informed us what station it was, we informed him that he was on the wrong corner and that he was advised to go join his friends over on the other side.
Next time I'll just hand him a sign perhaps we can put a useful idiot to work for us a little while.

I'm begining to wonder if most of their side can't read.

One of our guys decided to mingle over at the other side for a while just to see what they were spouting. He came over with an interesting observation that most of us has already observed. They were so angry.
Our group is smiling, waving, and cheering, while they are sneering, frowning and sulking.

Angry leftists, for sure. They don't like getting their picture taken either. So much for tolerance.

Bret and I were discussing the exact same thing today. We think they get angry just watching us having a good time across the street. I guess leftists are the same everywhere.
