Went to my First Freedom Rally Today

I went to my first Freedon Rally today on the campus of Texas Tech University- Lubbock, TX. I was amazed at the young leadership and support for our troops. There was a small group of protesters and we even saluted them for their right to protest. However, I shook hands with Vets of WW2 and the look in their eyes and the tears they shed at the sound of the bagpipe playing Amazing Grace, changed me on this wind swept West Texas day. We had a young wife of a marine who said our support would be relayed to her husband when she does get the chance to talk with him again. We had over 300 people there and only 15 of the anti-protesters. I stood beside a dad who had his marine sons' photo pinned to his shirt.

I got back home and started reading my new People Magazine. I got to the third page and had to make a call. I called them and said, I wanted to cancel my subscription (I have 10 months left) because I am sick of the fake movie stars who are against our country. I want to support my country, our troops and President Bush. The lady asked why I did not want to receive People anymore and I told them because those people are not the REAL People that make this world great. It is a great day to be an American. God Bless our Country.

Every day is a great day to be an American. Thank you for such a refreshing post.

Good report. We who love our country ARE in the majority. We just did not have a voice until recently. The leftie anti-war whiners do not know what they have released.

God Bless you as well.
You have done a great thing today.

Congratulations for cancelling that rag. Many years ago I cancelled the Houston Chronicle because they weren't fair to President Bush. Bill Clinton won the election and I didn't miss the newspaper gloating. I still don't miss it today and just love it when they call me asking for a subscription. I am just as rude as they were to President Bush.

"Evil persists when good men do nothing" . GOOD FOR YOU CANCELLING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION> I quit reading PEOPLE a long time ago when they continued to press the liberal agenda.

Thanks for sharing the news, JFC!

I went to the Orlando rally about 6 weeks ago and it was a memorable experience. I am planning to go to the Tampa Bay rally tomorrow in Clearwater (hope my old truck cooperates).
