If you want to try to match the enemy number for number at demonstrations, knock yourself out.
I spent years planning military operations. To win you fight the battle on your terms, not the enemy's terms. I don't parade around with a sign, because in this very conservative area I don't have to. But I've done more than you will ever know to advance the conservative cause.
A warm thank you to all who helped.
Ordinary people do not like to take to the streets with signs and banners as they equate those actions with moonbats. They are involved with their families, their work and their community and many of them do what they can to preserve and promote a decent, strong society. This is good and necessary.
Some of us see the need to take it to the streets. If for no other reason than to capture the attention of the Media and force them to acknowledge that ordinary people like ourselves do not condone or approve of the anti-American antics of the left. Our Troops need to see us on the news. It is not the numbers that are important, it is the coverage and the images produced. This also, is good and necessary.
I am getting a little tired of going to these threads and seeing people berated for not attending or for attending or whatever.
We all do what we can.
Great meeting you this weekend, Flora.
I'm about to go to the recruiters' office to bring them cookies or something. Store bought, of course.
Keep up the good work.
I'm firmly in your camp, Coop. No more excuses. Let the patriotic rallies begin! It's not a numbers game, it's our right and our duty! Think of what the troops are doing for us!
Good meeting you this weekend.
And how is our waiter doing? I appreciate you removing that fly from my soup Friday night BTW.
Dinner on the sidewalk Sat. night was a lot of fun and gave us a breather before we hit the metro. It took us longer to get to our car in Franconia than it did to drive home!!!
But it was worth it counter the commies and see some old friends.
You all worked so hard and made it a great show of support for our Troops and America. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
At the restaurant, I went upstairs to get in from the cold. Then I ended up sitting under the ceiling fan and near the air-conditioning vent. Glad you had fun and I'm glad you had a safe trip home.
Bump for some of the greatest people the world has never known.
Whatever it takes to make yourself feel better for sitting on your derriere.
