Operation Infinite FReep: Richmond, VA After-Action Report, WIB's Down to Seven!

07/19/03 | Flora McDonald

[Flora McDonald]

Richmond was blessed with beautiful, balmy weather this morning. This time, I parked on the street and hung flags and signs all over the FReepmobile. It really stood out. Hopefully all that packing tape won't ruin the paint job as Mr. McDonald loves that truck almost as much as he loves the dog.

The WIB's finally made their way down the sidewalk. Something must have happened. There were only seven of them, there was no banner or sign to identify them or their cause and they looked extremely unhappy. It was like a scene out of the "Night of the Living Dead". Seven females dressed in various modes of black, looking straight ahead, walking slowly in single file as if all the life had been sucked out of them - it would have been scarey in the dark, that's for sure. But in the soft sunshine on the corner of Broad & Boulevard, it was - HILARIOUS!

A very nice lady stopped by to chat. A transplanted Texan, she had attended the Rally for America and did a drive-by counter-protest at the anti-America demonstration in the fan afterwards.

It was a peaceful morning and I left at 10:30 AM.

On the way home, I pulled into a gas station on Midlothian Turnpike where a man was selling flags and met the mother of a young Marine serving in Iraq in a border position. We both bought "WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" flags and although we went our separate ways, my heart went with her.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what WIP stands for. Would you please enlighten me?

I do want to say, though, thanks for being there.

[basil]

Whoops! Make that WIB's.

[bluesagewoman]

A most excellent job this morning! Good work.

[Flora McDonald]

WIP must have been Freudian. Many of the WIB's (Women in Black) align themselves with Code Pink. They profess to have started spontaneously in countries all over the world (mm-hmm) and as women, have a special connection with peace (mm-hmm). They are pro-Palestinian, which is why I suppose they begin their march across the street from a Jewish Synagogue in Richmond and pro-child, which is why they do not protest Saddam's extermination attempts on Kurdish children nor the imprisonment of children of dissidents nor the babies pulled from mass graves with bullet holes in their little skulls.

They decry the spiritual brutalization of men and women in our armed forces and ignore the abortion mill they march past every week. This is how they support our Troops. Oh yes, they want them to come home, find a different occupation and become thoroughly feminized.

And that is why I go into town and carry signs and pray that this too shall pass.

[Flora McDonald]

Are you back in the USA? Hope you had a great trip!

[Trteamer]

The WIB's need therapy.

Great Job! You make them irrelevant every time you show up.

T-minus 7 days unitl we FReep Hillary. It should be a hoot!

All the Best,

[Flora McDonald]

Please post lots of pictures of your Hillary FReep! It must be galling for her to be met at every turn by (gasp!) decent people!

pro-child, which is why they do not protest Saddam's extermination attempts on Kurdish children nor the imprisonment of children of dissidents nor the babies pulled from mass graves with bullet holes in their little skulls.

Not to mention that they don't protest the little lives snuffed out in the mother's womb at Boulevard and Grove.

LOL So did the tape come off OK?

And kudos to you Flora.

[Bahbah]

Welcome home, gal. How was the trip. We are so glad to see you.

[TatieBug]

Great Job...because of you, next time there will probably only be 6 WIB!

[basil]

Gads! They sound like a real fun bunch to me--LOL!

There are so many misguided (either by chance or design) people out there!

Thanks for the explanation.

After I dismantled the FReep Mobile, I drove past the abortion mill a little after 10:30 AM. There were three grungey young people with signs at the entrance. One sign said "PRO-CHOICE", the other something to the effect "IT'S MY BODY & MY CHOICE" & the third unkempt youngster had a sign around his neck on a string proclaiming "CLINIC ESCORT" (I wondered if he had escorted his own baby to it's death).

The "clinic" must be absolutely desparate for help (which is a good sign) to be represented by what looked to be the anarchist lobby. I only hope that they might have been a deterrent to the clients. If "clinic" representatives look that dirty and dishevelled, how sanitary is the inside of the abortuary?

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I ahve actually been inside of that place....many, many years ago before I became conservative, I took my girlfriend for a pregnacy test there (negative, thank the Lord). Very dreary, not clean at all, and the most depressing parade of pregnant teens accompanied by their mothers I've ever seen. I really think the experience helped turn me pro-life.

“Now that’s some funky freepin’!”

Good job, Flora. Keep the pressure on! As far as I can tell, Freeport People for Peace is taking the month off. Heh! Sunshine "patriots" they are indeed!

[talleyman]

Bump!
