I found this posted on the Boston Freep thread and thought that this hometown patriot's efforts were worth sharing.
My first official FReep!!
I really want to know if the "speakers" were for peace or not? All I heard was the social issues in and outside the U.S.
I did figure out a few of their tactics though and ran with them.
1. Blame the U.S. for every starving, oppressed, and executed person in every country of the world.
2. When I have an answer to EVERYTHING they spew from their pie-holes, they take to personal insults.
I had to explain to a few that I didn't "get" the medals on my chest, I "earned" them. They are not tarnished because they were from another member of my family that "served" in the past, nor were they sitting on a store shelf somewhere. They are just 10 years old.
The exact quote from the nut-ball mentioned previously was "God bless America! F$@^@%^ every other country! There is only enough God for one country!!" After seeing this fruit-cake twice, I still don't know what his views are (typical). I DO know there are millions of showers in this country that he could use and chooses not to.
And so it went on. People, mostly the "working-class etc..., joined us in jeering the minions. Veterans from the shelter, veterans walking by, veterans holding signs.
The march went by numerous stores/restaurants that were filled with workers/patrons who all came out to support the FReepers!! The only one on the enemy's side was the enemy--and they were NOT large in numbers.
So the march went on. The people on the sidewalks continuously refused their liberal-dribble hand-outs, and continued to support the FReepers with enthusiastic "thumbs-up."
Park Square--the same anti-American, blame the U.S. for everything speeches, with the same stench of the unwashed. The only thing NOT touched on was abortion, but then they couldn't blame us for the deaths of innocent children in every country known. Not ONCE did I hear anything about supporting America's troops.
Just after Little Bill departed (myself and awestk remained), one speaker referred to a sign held by awetsk (6000+ American's DEAD, WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE??!!!) and included it in his spewing of domestic/humanitarian/racist outbursts. Everytime he said "Over here, one of my 'brothers' has a sign that says..." he was met by a loud "YOU are not my brother!!!" from my mouth to everyone's ears.
It was almost time for them to go roll another blunt, so they marched on to an unknown location. I continued with them (awestk and girlfriend departed) as the last voice. IT was pretty much the same--restaurants/stores/general-public supporting ME and giving them sh!t. More hand-outs were angrily refused and I received more applause, thumbs-up, and handshakes from the average American.
I ended my stay at Copley Square. For an hour, getting patriotic honks from passers-by, I stood on the corner as the lone soldier in a sea of pedestrians that supported me. I thought it was kind of a fitting end for my first FReep, right back where I started from and where Little Bill and Co. found me a few weeks ago.

Today's Boston Freep, check out ElectricStrawberry's post #6. (^:
I love hearing about your freep.I wish I had been there I would have stood right there with you. And FallGuy would have been there with us too.
Thanks again soooooo much.
Typical Leftist M.O. They can't argue, so they try to cow you with ever shriller insults. Usually, if you stand your ground and argue calmly their heads will just about explode and they let off with a flurry of their deadliest weapons - "F-U!" "F-U!", "F-U!", repeated ad nauseum.
Keep smiling tolerantly, as you would at an insane elder uncle, and it drives them, invariably, to flee. It's great!
