I wanted to share with you an email that I got from one of the members of a group of dedicated, patriotic FReepers from Columbia, Missouri who gather each and every week to counter-protest the peaceniks in their area. Here is what the email says:
"We in Missouri support your efforts in Fresno. Here are a few photos of our June 29th counter-protest in Columbia. Please use them as a solidarity message from us to you.
The peaceniks here love their trite messages, so we had prepared a few signs in anticipation. One draw-back is that they insist on having "dialogue" with us, and then think that we care if they agree with our signs or not. It makes for some frustrating encounters with the nitwit crew.
You will notice that these folks are old enough to know better. Many of our college students are not supportive of them, but their professors are! I guess that back in the 60's they must have dropped out, tuned out, turned on, and now there is no turning them off.
Somewhere along the line the protesters decided that we must stay within their rules for protesting. Rule #1 is not to counter-protest them. Now, how does one counter a protest if there is not a protest to counter? Rule #2, our signs have to be nice, or pass their approval. NOT! Rule #3 seems to be that we have to like them and appreciate their dedication to peace at any price.
Well, we don't. We appreciate those who have and are serving in our military, and we believe Americans must stick together to combat evil regimes.
So, Thank You Jim Rob, Fresno, FReepers, and Service People. We stand with America!
-Love,
BlueSageWoman"
FReepers, we're here, we're there, we're everywhere!
