On the Eve of "anti"-War at Walter Reed -- Week 93
Washington, DC, January 26, 2007-- Old Man Winter seems to have finally arrived in the Nation's Capital. It didn't get nearly as cold or windy as the pessimistic forecasters predicted, but is was no day at the beach.
Not a whole lot happened this Friday. We had FReepers from out of town who came to counter-protest the big United for Peace and Justice (and the Communist Way!) happening on the Mall on Saturday. The whole list of FReepers & FRiends in attendance last friday (If I missed anyone - please let me know!): Albion Wilde, Bill from MD*, BufordP, cf_river_rat and daughter Kristen all the way up from NC, Cindy-True-Supporter, Danielle*, Fraxinus, George & Ethel*, GunsAreOK, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, JoyJoyFromNJ, Just A Nobody, Kristinn, Lauren (Protest Warrior) and friend Meredith*, Olney-Keith, PleaDeal, PrezUSA222, Sarah from VA*, TFroatz, tgslTakoma, Tolerance Sucks Rocks, Tom the Redhunter, Trooprally [Mr.], VAFlagWaver.
In case you missed one or two, here are all the related pre- and post-rally reports.

With all the anti-American peace-niks in town, you'd think Code Pink could have rallied a few to join their "vigil" waaaaay down the block. It appears they had no takers and only turned over a few rocks to produce 11 anti-Troop sign holders.
This car was sporting nearly every left-wing wacko cliche sticker. Click on the pic to see them better. |
We got lots of honks, waves and cheers from passing motorists which just goes to show that most people, even in a deep blue town like D.C., really DO support the troops!
The buses filled with wounded warriors and family coming back from
the weekly Fran O'Brien's dinner.
We'll be back out at Walter Reed Friday night, February 2nd, from 6:30 until at least 9:30 at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW in Washington, D.C.
The wounded warriors inside the hospital are heartened by the sight of ordinary citizens cheering for them and displaying our thanks for the service and sacrifice they've made on our behalf.
A couple hours this Friday night is very little to give compared to what they've contributed!
If you can't get to D.C. to join us but would like to do something for the wounded, you can find a wealth of ideas by FReep-mailing Albion Wilde, Cindy-True-Supporter, VAFlagwaver or PleaDeal.
If you can't stand seeing anti-war, communist backed, 60's throwback hippies and self-absorbed, ungrateful Gen-X'ers defiling the memories of those who gave all in Vietnam - join us for the Counter ANSWER march on the Pentagon on March 17th! Just A Nobody will be keeping all the logistics on this thread. Thanks Justa!
With Mrs Trooprally on sick leave, there's only one set of pics again this week and the whole collection can be viewed here.

"Hold Their Feet To The Fire"...isn't that TORTURE?
Bump.
I liked what you said. They are full of contradictions, aren't they? very warped.
I thought the PRO CHILD/PRO CHOICE was the strangest sense of non-logic. How can you be pro child and pro killing children? That sticker really highlights the total lack of logic in the liberal mind.
and they've got the nerve to call our troops babykillers BUMP
Thanks!!!!
Code Pink is planning a protest at the East Gate of Fort Hood, Texas on Sunday, February 4, from 11:00 to 3:00.

I have be in Dallas tomorrow - can any Central Texas freepers show up to counter these commies?
Love your work
Thank You :)
Any time.
That's obvious.
Jodie has enough room there to list all 1,400 members of UFPJ.
When Jodie backs up it goes, "Beep,...beep..., beep..."
It's not the size of the "buts" that matters -- there are lots of big-"but" women who look great. It's the fact that they apparently use their "buts" to do their thinking out of.
