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! :-)

"Dear laughing stock of Maryland:
It was my understanding that in-breeding was and is outlawed in the United States.
It is apparent that this law has not been enforced in Kensington.
You people make the actors in "Deliverence" look like Harvard graduates!
Enjoy your notoriety. You deserve it."

Maybe Al-Qaeda sympathizers sit on that Town Council. ;-)
P.S. no anti-immigrant flames here, please.
Oh please.

"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?

LOL!! EXCELLENT parody, lowbridge!!!
Amen to THAT! Way to go TRT!!! Make us PROUD!"No Santa Claus in Maryland!
Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever in FreeRepublic..."
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts. I don't care about appearing compassionate.
I think playing with toy guns doesn't make you a killer. I believe ignoring your kids and giving them Prozac might. I think I'm doing better than the homeless. I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized.
I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird or make me mad. This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to others expectations.
I don't celebrate Kwanzaa. But if you want to that's fine; just don't feel like everyone else should have to. I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of cigarettes, or hotel room-you do it in English. As of matter of fact, if you are an American citizen you should speak English.
My uncles and forefathers shouldn't have had to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come disrespect ours, and make us bend to your will. Get over it. I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry butt if you're running from them after they tell you to stop.
If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the previous line.
I don't use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular opinions or actions.
I know how to count votes and I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation do a recount when needed.
I know what the definition of lying is, and it isn't based on the word "is" - ever.
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you qualify for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans, etc., so you can open a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or anything else, while the indigenous peoples can't get past a high school education because they can't afford it.
Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives in vain and defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell me it's a living document ever changing and is open to interpretation. The guys who wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they meant what they said-now leave the document alone, or there's going to be trouble.
I don't hate the rich. I help the poor. I know wrestling is fake.
I've never owned, or was a slave, and a large percentage of our forefathers weren't wealthy enough to own one either. Please stop blaming me because some prior white people were idiots and remember, tons of White, Indian, Chinese, and other races have been enslaved too-it was wrong for every one of them.
I believe a self-righteous liberal with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude. I want to know exactly which church is it where the "Reverend" Jessie Jackson preaches; and what exactly is his job function. I own a gun, you can own a gun, and any red blooded American should be allowed to own a gun, but if you use it in a crime, then you will serve the time.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it makes you mad, then invent the next operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.
I don't believe in hate crime legislation. Even suggesting it makes me mad. You're telling me that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of this country has more value as a human being that I do as a white male. If someone kills anyone, I'd say that it's a hate crime. We don't need more laws! Let's enforce the ones we already have.
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child ...it takes a parent with the guts to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say "NO!" when it's necessary to do so.
I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep silent because I have these beliefs and opinions.
I thought this country allowed me that right. I will not conform or compromise just to keep from hurting somebody's feelings. I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise.
Yes, I guess by some people's definition, I may be a bad American.

"Seriously, I am considering conducting a peaceful act of civil disobedience in Kensington Sunday to protest the violation of Santa's civil rights. Kensington requires a protest permit.Dressed as Santa, I will volunteer to be arrested for protesting without a permit.
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." - Doctor Raoul
LOL!! Go get 'em, Doctor Raoul!!!

(If you want OFF - or ON - my (active) "Hugh Hewitt PING list" - please let me know.)
You really want to make the PC police apoplectic? Sing Christmas carols that actually refer to Christ. How about, "Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant . . .!" You could get arrested for the public practice of a christian religion!
The sight of a Santa Claus waving an American Flag while carrying a Bible should cause massive strokes amongst the left wingers there!
If that doesn't get you arrested, you can lead others in praying the Lord's Prayer on city property. That should drive them totally insane!
We will raise money for your fines if needed!

LOL! Well, sort of.
Except that this CLASSIC "I am a Bad Republican" rant was written by a FReeper named bootyist-monk!!!
See Bootyist goes Global **Vanity-Sort of**

"...There's been a lot of stuff flying around the net recently about being a Bad American. Some has been credited to George Carlin, Rush and a host of others.
Well folks, the fact is that the Bad American rant started here on Free Republic. I know this to be a fact, because I wrote it. It was called I am a Bad Republican. Check the link above, or follow this one if you have any doubts.
I am a Bad Republican..." - bootyist-monk
Not sure if public smoking is banned in Kensington yet. However, nuclear devices and gun shows ARE banned over there.
Geeshhh...
And a Merry Christmas to All!
