What:
Tyranny Response Team commandos and FReeper militia disguised as Santa Claus, Elves, other helpers (and even Christians <g>), to raid anti-Santa (anti-Christmas) Kensington Town Council's "Celebration of the American Spirit Through Lights and Music" (Includes the Santa-less Town Tree Lighting Ceremony)
When:
Sunday, December 2, 2001
3:30 p.m. - until?
(Their "ceremony" is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m. Our FReep is on whether the Town Council eventually surrenders or not. FReepers: take no prisoners in this cultural war!)
Where:
Kensington Town Hall ("Armory") http://www.tok.org/
3710 Mitchell Street
Kensington, MD 20895
Location Map and directions (click link below):
Battle Plan:
Patriots will peaceably assemble near the Kensington Armory beginning around 3:30 p.m. and then occasionally disperse to cover all access and egress streets to the ceremony's location. Remember, no profanity, no racism, no threats, no violence, etc., will be tolerated at the scene. A demonstration/protest permit is NOT required for this; regardless, local law enforcement officers should be treated with respect. We must remain "on message", defend the 1st Amendment, freedom of religion, freedom from this local government's tyranny, while we counterattack this secular assault on Christmas. Remember that we are doing this FOR THE CHILDREN! :-)

We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of FreeRepublic:
"Dear Editor--I am 8 years old.
"Montgomery County community of Kensington and two families that live within the community say there wil be no Santa Claus.
"Papa says, 'If you see it in FreeRepublic, it's so.'
"Please tell me the truth, will there be a Santa Claus?
Virginia O'Hanlon

Virginia, Montgomery County community of Kensington is wrong. They have been affected by the fascism of a politically correct age. They do not feel comfortable except they offend. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All liberal minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's are little. In this great universe of ours liberals is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there will be a Santa Claus. He will exist as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the state of Maryland if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in state and commuinity standards of politially correct offenses. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not have a Santa Claus! They might as well not have wedding ceremonies! They might get government agents to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did arrest Santa Claus, what would that acomplish? A community board bans Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there will be no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men, nor town boards can ban. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? In Maryland, of course you did, but that's no reason to arrest them. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the voting machine and see what makes the chads inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the politically correct liberal democrats that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus in Maryland! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever in FreeRepublic and Maryland. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
Santa Claus is coming to a left wing town near you, thanks to Free Republic brave Freepers.
To really po these left wing clymers, put red, white and blue camo paint on your faces and carry American Flags with your Santa Bells! Wave the flags, smile through your red, white and blue face camo and sing the praises of Santa Claus!
It seems like the first Nazis in Germany banned ole St Nick during the 1930's/40's! You might want to remind this group of neo nazis including the mayor of their historical heritage!
Take lots of pictures and keep us posted! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Sign to read, "Osama Lynn Rusfastie and the Kensington Taliban Made Me Wear This!"
Can't you see the nationwide press coverage of Kensington Police arresting Santa? Perhaps the the fear stricken liberal democrats will break out the dogs and firehoses against Santa? Hell, it will make people forget that the Philadelphia Eagles fans once threw snowballs at Santa.
If you really want to make the Mayor mad, show up dressed as Jesus. They aren't really anti-Santa, their anit-Christian.
May I suggest that a few show up as the grinch with the names of the council of offenders prominatly shown across thier chests.
Three Cheers for good cheer! I hope to see you on the local news!
On the other hand, maybe we should all link arms and sing "We Shall Overcome" when the local police show up to take us all away. (just kidding, but, then again - maybe not) - ;-)
Like you, I will monitor Free Republic to see how this Freep goes! My comments/reply was just some suggestions as to how make these left wingers even more uncomfortable!
