Thanks for the heads up! };^D)

However, (and I don't want to throw cold water but we have to fix this)as we were going down the escalator to the Navy Memorial Metro I saw several FR protest signs that had simply been dumped on the side of the escalator passage. I an a fellow counter protestor (a flag-carrying marine whos name I don't know) policed up the signs and put them in a can at the bottom of the escalator.

I don't know who put them there but even the smallest infraction or disrespect on our side will be used by the media to balance the outrageous behavior of the protesters. We need to keep our skirts perfectly clean, or our message will be lost in the 'moral equivalence' noise.

Well, that explains what happened to some of the signs I made. :-( I tried to tell everyone who took one of my signs to return them to me when they were leaving. I "lost" 8 signs with sticks attached. It's not a big deal, but I try to save money (and trees) by recycling supplies. I guess we were so busy, and folks were coming and going, and sharing signs that the message didn't pass along with the signs. Oh well. I'll try to be more attentive next time. :-)

Thanks for letting me know what happened to the signs. I had thought that people took them home. I wish I had seen them by the trash... I would have rescued them. Some FReepers never throw anything out. :-)

"Peace through love" was answered with "Peace through superior firepower".

LOL! I love it!

Kristinn, didn't see your name in the honor roll, I'm SURE it goes in that list!

Stand Watie, thanks for bumping this to me. I hadn't seen it till today.

Deo Vindice!

i truly WISH you could have seen the PERPLEXED look on the faces of the anarchists/pinkos/useful idiots/wierdos, when the demonstrators on OUR side broke spontaneously into song:

"all we are saying, is give WAR a chance!" ----->note, we sang LOUD but NOT well! LOL!

what started as a disclipined parade, degenerated into a whole bunch of DISPIRITED, BEDRAGGLED & SAD LOOKING individuals, slouching down the street. the DC Chapter of FR is to be commended for their BRAVERY,PASSION & SMARTS! the GOOD GUYS won this battle.

personally, i wish also that you could have come up. we needed your passion,street smarts & ability!

for dixie freedom (while i'm young enough to enjoy it!),sw

There were plenty of people that were a part of the peace march carrying american flags. I even have pictures of a group of veterans carrying signs for peace.... I am confused.
