Had a wonderful time last night and today.

The event was well-organized and well-run. To all my old FReeper friends and the new ones I met this weekend...You guys are the greatest!!!

I laughed most of the way back to Virginia thinking about Doctor Raoul and Huber's funny comments and jokes....
(How many lefties does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None, they would rather sit in darkness and ignorance.) And the unintentional comedy provided by the lefties in the park.

Did anyone get a picture of the old dude dressed up like Santa Clause in drag wearing a nun's veil? What was that about????

I am afraid I was partly responsible for letting the young hippy raid the Tastee Cakes at our table but one of the Rolling Thunder ladies was keeping a close watch on him and he knew better than to mess with her. He wanted a couple of signs and since he had been holding them for us I sold him two for $1.56. He said that was all the cash he had and he was hitchhiking.

Met several people who had heard about the Rally from the newspaper reports and decided to come out and take a stand in support of the troops. The Carolina FReepers did a good job getting the word out.

I loved seeing the teenagers who showed up on our side, also. They represented various "tribes" and all had courage and good hearts in common. Not to mention they were a lot of fun to be around.

Had a nice talk with a young soldier, J.J., who came across us by accident. He has only been at Ft. Bragg a week. He is a big Ronaldus Maximus fan and after expressing an interest in the "Viva la Reagan Revolucion" poster, I took great pleasure in giving it him.

The t-shirt is available at thoseshirts.com.

While Dr. Raoul was giving us the lowdown on the various so-called Peace groups from the podium, a young man confronted bert, yelling and cursing at him. The big skin-head looking guy in the photo above came up from behind and hit bert on the top of his head and then started yelling like a girl - "He hit me! He hit me!" (the skinhead, not bert!) The police were having none of it and dragged him off. Personally, I think it was a set up to get bert arrested.

Did anyone get a photo of Buford P. puffing on a stogey and holding the Uh-oh it's code pinko sign? Too funny.

AQGeiger's speech was moving and straight from the heart and the FReeper chorus did an excellent job with the Star Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful.


I hope all the FReepers travelling tonight have safe journeys. To those of you who stayed in Fayetteville...Party On Dudes!

This Freeper is going to bed!

And somehow I missed you. I'd have given you a hug to thank you for the beautiful CD you sent me last year.
