Marin County: From The Belly Of The Beast [after action]
Freep From the Deep | 11-02-04 | Me

From The Belly Of The Beast

As promised, here is the after action report on my Central San Rafael solo freep tonight.

For those not in the know, Marin County is ground zero in the war on the mental disorder known as liberalism. We are what the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge is attached to.

Some of our more infamous citizens include Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Sean Penn and none other than Johnny Jihad Walker Lindh. Yes that's right!, the same Taliban Johnny now doing 20 years up the stony lonesome courtesy of Federal Prosecutors. Read this precursor thread that I posted prior to stepping into this fray.

I am a life long Marin resident and this is my County. I was born and raised here and my first presidential election vote was for Reagan in '80. I have been, am and will continue to be Conservative. I will not yield to the false promises of prosperity and security pedaled by the left wing ilk of my county for they can provide neither. I live in a nest of vipers. I am an aberration. I am pissed off and will never give in. Enough rant...on to the report.

I arrived early enough and found a single liberal getting ready and set up. She was packing several different signs supporting a measure outlawing genetically modified foods and research in our county. At first when I walked up she greeted me pleasantly, but when she saw what my 4 x 8 sign read she turned as white as ghost. I immediately moved into the strategic location and staked my ground.

This street corner is 'owned' by the left. Every Friday it has throngs of left wing protestors. I got their early enough and did so purposely to irritate them. I knew they would be their and wanted the biggest Bush Cheney sign I could get my hands on to destroy their moral and drive them away. They will be back tomorrow and so will I. They will be crushed by the Uber Bush Cheney sign.

Within minutes after she had recovered from the shock of the Uber Sign and the visible trembling had ceased, she demanded that I choose another street corner. Of course I refused and pointed out it was a free country, and it was armed conservative citizens like myself that would ensure it stays that way. Her expression wreaked of contempt, and no rebuttal or fresh appeal was forthcoming. I offered up a rhetorical question: "Your not against free speech are you?"

The moment I took up position I started getting responses, from salutary to downright vulgar and hateful. By in large the response was more and more positive as the afternoon wore on into evening. All of the hard working folks were coming home.

The dissenters were abundant and vociferous. I was flipped off at least 100 times, cursed endlessly, called a Nazi 5 times, told to "F" bush and spit at 3 times from passing cars. Each and every time I was jeered, I would give a thumbs up or wave, and on several occasions blew kisses back to women who were nothing short of seething with their hatred. From shaking heads of disapproval, to outright threats...I saw it all.

The liberal women was joined by 6-8 of her friends later on. They eventually gave up the corner and went to a far less tactically advantageous location. They couldn't compete and they were pissed off. There was a guy guy dressed in a bunny costume who cursed and tried to goad me into engaging him. I just kept telling him 'I love you man'...'Thank you for sharing'...his irritation was palpable to say the least...he slinked away as his group gave up choice ground.

Those in support of Bush were nothing less than both amazing and surprising in several regards. Ages ranged from 8 to 80, and the look of appreciation was clear. They were great looking people too...normal looking. From business people to moms with a car load of kids...and the babes!...I have never had so many beautiful women honk, smile, wink and blow kisses...I was blown away! Guys I kid you not...total babes...

Some stopped, rolled down the window and thanked me...telling me how important it was for them to see me on that corner tonight. "Thank you for being here...thank you for speaking for me...Finally!...God Bless You!...you have courage man!". Many many supporters were also contractors [like me]. They had their trucks with their racks and tools...and had worked hard to put food on their families table this day. I can say this...Marin County Contractors will go Bush in a landslide...

I was given the thumbs up by the majority of African Americans. Both men and women. The one black fellow who did flip me off looked so terribly angry. I smiled and waved and gave him a thumbs up. Hispanics were unanimously for Bush. I am sure there were some hispanic folks, probably lots of them who are not pro-Bush, but not a single one of them ever gave me a thumbs down or negative gesture...they remained silent.

Before it was all said and done, I was joined by 2 ladies, and 3 gentleman. They had stopped several blocks away and walked back to support Bush. They all were shocked when they saw me on the liberal corner and no liberals were in site. One fellow brought a flag with him, and that seemed to really get the pro Bush honks and thumbs up cranking along. One fellow was blown away by all the pro Bush honking and gesturing...shocked even. Those who joined me promised to try and join me again tommorow...as I will be back at it in the morning and the evening.

I will try to get more pictures to tell a more thorough story tomorrow evening.

God Bless George Bush, America and all Freedom Loving People.

Time for a beer...Coors

More important than spelling south...is knowing where it is...and here is a trick that might save your life...and good reason to not use a digital watch...

Hold your watch flat like a sun dial...point the hour hand at the sun...and no matter where you are, or what time it is, or what the current magnetic deviation is...Half Way Between the Hour Hand and Noon is due South exactly...

If you are south of Lat 0.0.00...the same will find North for you...

Stay the course and know where your going....

AWESOME! Taking the enemy's territory sends a message to all the regulars who drive by there and noticed the leftist's missing. Good Job!

Come through Roseville & my wife and I are buying! You're a braver man than I!!

We live in Roseville and we thank God everyday that Placer County is the exact opposite of Marin. Not even one democrat on our street. In fact, I think democrats will avoid Placer County even if they have to drive 100 miles around it.

Great job my fellow American!
Here's a tribute to you and the many brave souls out there willing to make a stand ...

INVICTUS
William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Great Job! Perhaps you have inspired a few to rethink their knee jerk following of the Lemmings off the cliff.

On Friday nights here in Eureka the Twisted Sisters in Black take over the corner of the Court House at 5th and Ist along with the "Veterans for Peace" group. At least they are passive compared to the Earth First crowd that tie up the corner from time to time...

Exactly! and might I add...to err is human...and to learn nothing from the experience is foolish...I am glad I have made so many mistakes...every one an opportunity to grow, learn and persevere

Truly admire you. Marin County is not only "ground zero," it also does a pretty darned good imitation of Dante's Eighth Circle of Hell. What you're doing is terrific.
Look forward to your next report. Take good care and God bless!

spelling is not a strength...and I ran through it twice on spell check...my bad...

By the way I was called a 'stupid' republican, and 'dumb as Bush' tonight as well...
