I can't believe you folks rally'd this much support in the people's republic.

Good on ya!

[milagro]

A huge HOOAH from Rogue River for supporting our troops. I know my son who is serving with a Patriot Missile battery in Israel would be encouraged by your demonstration. Heck--I am encouraged. Thank you so much!

Way to go Oregon FReepers. Eagles up!

[Mr. Silverback]

About that photo of the "War is Terrorism" banner...Next week, have someone stand next to it with a sign that reads "I'm With Stupid." Certainly, it is deserving. Eagles up and good work, folks!

“Now that’s some funky freepin’!”

[Mr. Silverback]

"Peace In Our Time" ROTFLMBO!!

[Mr. Silverback]

These guys show up whenever the Women In White show up and hold their "Are You Commies Lost?" sign. He usually has a map of Red China next to it, with an arrow pointing towards it!

Oooohh! I have a new sign! Thanks, bet the local peaceniks will love that!

[maranatha]

Bless you and your son. Great photos of a great rally you Oregon Freepers.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

I've been yelling "Kent State" to every war protestor I've seen in the area.

In Humboldt County it's the woMEN in Black doing some kind of witch craft...

Ashland is a neat little town but I felt out of place there. We stay in Medford when we visit.

Really great pics! I especially like the 'rastafarians' with the sign that reads, 'Peace in Our Time.'
I just returned from a drive through California, and what I encountered was basically the same, though I avoided large cities (and large demonstrations). I saw only a few scaggly hippy types, walking or lurking along route 101, in one's, two's, and three's. One chick in the supermarket parking lot was approximating Brownian motion, holding a protest sign. She waved it in my direction in desultory fashion, but I refused to read it, instead turning my head away while throwing her a 'Please put a lid on that garbage' look.
The N Cal coast seems to be the cutting edge in hypocritical elitist posturing these days. Harsh intrustions into their 'good life' are not welcomed. They drive SUVs, but their SUVs carry bumperstickers that say 'BUll $Hit', and 'No War for Oil'(how do they feel when they pull into a service station?)

[Sir_Ed]

I screwed up. You're right. It IS the Women in Black that are the commies! The Women in White are the counservative counter protesters. My apologies to the Women in White!

Thanks! The ones in Medford are much bigger! Grants Pass, unfortunately, hasn't been able to muster anything other than a paltry few Peaceninnies in fron of the Post Office.

Hey...you're in Rogue River? Cool! I actually live in Grants Pass, but GP hasn't had any rallies other than the Pro-Israel rally we had.

Freep me if there's ever one in RR...I really love your town, BTW!

[Sir_Ed]

I love that sign! They are so pretentious and pompous, the Women In Black...

My favorite of *all* time, I saw in Ashland.

It was an SUV - and an expensive one - with a bumpersticker that said "Live Simply - That Others May Simply Live".

(yeah, I know... nobody ever accused a Lieberal of having a brain...).

And... I'm sorry to say this, but Ashland could solve a lot of its problems by getting rid of the Shakesqueerian festival.

I like Shakespeare as much as anyone, but that kind of thing attracts fruitcakes like Schumer attracts flies...

[Sir_Ed]

Nice! Why'd ya' leave? Although, I left Alaska, Montan and North Idaho, so I can relate to leaving beautiful areas!

Ed

[Sir_Ed]

Shakesqueerian...heh heh heh!

The flying bug bit me at an early age (got my private at Ashland) and I'm still seeing the world. The Mrs. and I have been back many times to visit the Rogue Valley. A move back could be in our future as well.
BTW, great pix. Brought back some memories... Kinda surprised at not seeing more groovy-granola-tree-huggin'-stupid-sign-havin'-peace-preachin'-diversified types attempting a "counter rally". Then again, it was probably a good day to be skiing on the Big A.
