Op.Infinite Freep: Fresno Support our Troops/President Rally for 04/09/04
NPCW

Posted on 04/09/2004 9:54:54 PM PDT by notpoliticallycorewrecked

Spring was in the air as we gathered to support the troops and President Bush on the corner of Shaw & Blackstone.

Present for the rally were:

Jim, Sheila, and Chris Robinson,

Chadsworth, Ladyinred, Enterprise, JustAmy, and Notpoliticallycorewrecked.

The traffic was very light due to it being Good Friday, but the honks in support of the troops were numerous.

We had one gentleman that stopped by to support our troops and visited with Jim and Enterprise for a short time. I did not catch his name, but he was much nicer that the other visitors that came by.

A group of teenagers on their way to catching the bus decided to engage us in some lively debate about the war in Iraq. The discussion went hot and heavy for about 30 minutes. They finally decided that they were going to miss their bus if they stayed any longer and left.

After that experience it was quiet except for the honking of the horns in support of the troops and Sheila's music to keep us motivated.

Chadworth worked the crowd with his famous layered message board. He also provided our rally with a HUGE pair of flip-flops to let the Kerry crowd know what to expect from their candidate in the future.

It was a great Freep with good friends and great weather.

Would you believe I couldn't come because I was SO sleepy....from getting absolutely NO sleep last night because I was being tormented relentlessly by brownie visions? (Well, it could have happened. LOL)

We missed being there too, we always do. We'll do our best to make it to the next one, for sure.

how do you put up with him

After a very long whine session about not having any brownies, she gives in. Sometimes she even bakes me homemade bread and chocolate cake to shut me up.

If I get too bad, its off to the doghouse. ( Dog biscuit brownies aren't as good as the real ones)

It is now time to come up for a breath of air and post the pictures.

I had to clean the pictures first - got gooey fudge on some of them.

Yes Chads, my friend who happens to be my husband was given a briefing on camel spiders prior to his unit being deployed to the ME. Apparently the spider injects its victim with an anesthetic then proceeds to eat the victim. It is not safe to sleep on the ground over there.

Ron Dog posted some really funny and clever ideas about FReeping Kerry using Flip Flops at his rally's. That is so appropriate for him. I think we should get started in the same manner for our corner FReeps - get the message across about what kind of person he is. If I can, I am going to make a large print sign of his Anti-American / Anti- National Security voting record that JK sent out.

Need to come up with some good flip-flop slogans

anybody - anybody

Those young folks just do not realize what the world is about and what is likely to happen if we allow the terrorists in Iraq and other places, including here at home, to continue unimpeded. They did have cranial constipation about the war and its goal. They are in for a shock one of the days - probably in the near future.

How did they do in their "debate" with you?

You know, when I was a young "skull full of mush" kid, I would never have attempted to debate adults on serious adult issues. Maybe these particular kids are more educated about current events than I was at their age, but it would be interesting to know if they knew who the Speaker of the House is, or their Congressman, or their Senators. Many of the kids I know are preoccupied with video games, MTV and the opposite sex....they are basically doing what kids do. Their positions on current events issues are usually nothing more than a parroting of what they are hearing from their parents around the dinner table....which is scary in itself.

One of the teeny peaceniks wanted to know where we get OUR news. She suspected it was all from the FOX News Channel.

Not me. I get all mine from CNN and MTV. LOL

They also talked a big deal about how the soldiers in Vietnam and returning veterans were all demoralized, depressed and using drugs, etc. I asked them if they knew how they got demoralized and had they ever heard of Jane Fonda or Walter Cronkite. They just couldn't figure out that they (todays peaceniks) are engaged in the exact same kind of traitorous demoralizing activities as Hanoi Jane, Cronkite & Co.
