As always, please let me know if you want on or off of my ping list! Thanks!

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you Mtngrl. Now, that was a great FReep!

[VaMarVet]

Once again my Saturday morning is complete after reading about the great work you guys have done the night before. BTTT for Fresno Freepers and Patriots.

[brat]

Any one of you is worth one hundred of the others and the honkers know it! Well done faithful Freepers!

[JustAmy]

I will post my pictures later this morning; I'm sleep walking.
What an exhausting night. We not only had to shout to be heard but we had to become obnoxious to hold our ground on Freeper Island. The pro-terrorist with the megaphone kept getting behind us and yelling in our ears. In addition, they continued trying to take the few inches between us and the street so they could block our signs. I believe it was very confusing and probably frightening for some of the motorists. Some were seen locking their doors and several rolled their windows up.
We had quite a police presence tonight. When Ann and I arrived about 4:40, we noticed police units on three corners and and two squad cars parked a block away with the officers outside the car watching the activity. With so many police officers in attendance, we felt pretty secure even though we were far outnumbered.
When we arrived my friend Ann spotted 4 muslins (standing between 2 of their cars)take their shoes off and begin their evening prayers to Allah. I wish we had taken a picture but we were a little apprehensive when confronted by so many what I preceive as our enemy. I wonder how many of these people were from the muslin community located in the foothills above Fresno.

Congrats!

Looks like you all had a great time.

We love you guys!

No cookies?

Guess that's why Mama_Bear didn't show. : )

[Diver Dave]

Thanks to the FResno FReepers for once again staying the course.

A group of anti-American protesters are taking to the streets here in Modesto this afternoon, but a family reunion prevents me from hoisting Old Glory in their parade. GRRRRR.

[senorita]

And Senorita was taking a siesta! Dang, I wish I had been there!
Check out Gracie and JustAmy! You go girls!!

[mtngrl@vrwc]

No cookies?

Oh yes, Friend Ann brought cookies as usual, but we didn't have time to eat them until we were at Lyons for dinner. This was one hopping FReep!

(Thanks Ann for bringing the wonderful cookies!)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Oh yes, Friend Ann brought cookies as usual,...

Hmmmmm....guess no one TOLD Mama_Bear there would be cookies. : )

This was one hopping FReep!

Y'all look 'hoppin' mad to me. LOL

[ST.LOUIE1]

And Senorita was taking a siesta! Dang, I wish I had been there!

You snooze....you lose. : )

I believe it was very confusing and probably frightening for some of the motorists. Some were seen locking their doors and several rolled their windows up.

Oh yes, I am sure that more than a few of those driving by were wondering what this country has come to. This thought passed through my mind too last night several times. Maybe the HUGE peacenik presence last night opened a few eyes. Perhaps a few more people will be moved to join us in the future.

Thanks for adding your observations to this report, Just! I have to say this in regards to you and Ann, you girls just amaze me; getting right out there in the face of so many nut cases last night all by yourselves took courage! You guys are the best!

[BellStar]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD CA Freepers! No, Great Freepers.
Come-on Texas Freepers CA one big one up on us!

A group of anti-American protesters are taking to the streets here in Modesto this afternoon...

Wow, I guess they are just everywhere, aren't they? Who'd have thought that in this very conservative part of California there would be so many anti-American demonstrators? The American people need to wake up to the fact that these guys are out there and get out and join those of us who are supporting our government and troops!

[Kermit]

"I just can't get over the way these peaceniks show absolutely no concern for the innocent Americans that have been killed."

They are self-hating Americans. The cause of that self-hatred is guilt. The guilt is built on a belief in mindless equality, that is full of emotion and devoid of thought.

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Y'all look 'hoppin' mad to me.

Oh my, we sure were! I didn't get any pictures during the heat of the rally because we just didn't have the time to break out the cameras. We were too busy trying to hold our ground and keep the other side from being the only voice that could be heard. These guys were LOUD and RUDE and kept trying to make it so that motorists would only hear and see them.

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Now, that was a great FReep!

It was! To any FReepers out there reading this report who haven't FReeped, my advice is to give it a try! You will be amazed at how wonderful it makes you feel and how addicting it is.

One thing that I neglected to mention is that I am sure that the little peacenik kids (and maybe the adults too) who walked by us yelling "No justice, no peace" had no idea at all what they were saying or what it meant. Some of them had quite an accent but they yelled it out like good little robots.

It really bothers me that they have this for a slogan because we do too. In our case we mean that if justice isn't done to the terrorists for their killing of the Americans who died on September 11th, the people in Afghanistan and the rest of the countries who barbor terrorists won't have peace.

What they mean I suppose is that if the Palestinians aren't given justice in the form of a homeland, there won't be peace in the Middle East.

Or maybe they just repeat this line like the little robots that they are, not having any idea what it means...

[Syncro]

Doesn't that just make your blood boil!

The people are not anything related to "peace", nick or night...er not.

They are Communist Marxist Terrorists...same as those they support.

Good answer mtngrl about the innocent lives of women and children...which these rude anti-Americans are SUPPORTING the killing of even now same as all of the anti-American "Palistinians" in almost every country having anti America rallys. (They show their 'true colors' [Yellow stripes?] even more than Cindy Lauper...)

Wish I could have been there last night...Thanks to all of you small in numbers, but GIANT in spirit and PATRIOTIZM!!!!

Thanks for being there so faithfully. You all held the American ground faithfully!
