[history]
Was a hot time in the old town tonight. Temps running in the high 90s, but with overcast and high humidity and an occasional breeze it was fine FReepin weather. We had thirteen patriots present tonight to oppose approximately the same number of cowardly traitors on the other side.
Freepers present were:
- Jim, Chris and Sheila Robinson
- JustAmy
- FriendAnn
- Gracie1
- Chadsworth
- Ladyinred
- Saundra Duffy
- Lager
- Mama_Bear
- jkphoto
- Maccabee-AJB
Tonight the traitors must have gotten tired of Saundra Duffy and Lager because they started packing up at 6:10 instead of 6:30. I wonder if they were paid until 6:30. Saundra yelled things like .... you're not a man so join the Taliban; coward; traitor, USA USA; and we support the troops. One motorist stopped at the signal on their side of the street, opened his door, stood up and gave them the 1 finger salule. I'm not sure what he was yelling at them but as he drove away, he started honking and gave us a thumbs up. They had some new signs, hopefully ladyinred can get the exact wording but the most obnoxious one was about spilling red Iranian blood for black Iranian oil to get black coffin dripping red American blood on American soil.
We enjoyed a lot of support from the motorists tonight. Chadsworth worked his magic and kept the horns honking. One guy called out to me and was pointing at a flag on his back window and then just as the light changed he hollered out, "I'm a vet!"
On the other hand one passing lady(?) gave us her IQ (or maybe it was her age?), either way it was a single digit. One other car with three young ladies stopped in the turning lane and asked if we wanted peace. I ignored her offer, and I told her that we were going to win the peace by killing the terrorists. She says, but what about all the women and children? Oh, well, I shrug, they should've thought about that before attacking us. We didn't start this war, but, by God, we're gonna end it.
All in all it was a great FReep followed by great Mexican food at the Plaza Ventanna. Thanks to all for attending and hope to see those who couldn't make it tonight, next week.

what about the women and children
That is who we are saving. If they care so much about the women and children I will personally buy them a ticket to Iraq/Iran/afghan/ or any other 'an' in the middle east and let them live there. See how PO'd they are when they get back - if they ever do. Great work, and the pics are crystal clear!

Way to go California!! Pick on those pacifists!
T-minus 6 hours until our Colorado Freep. We are going to give them a big back-at-ya today.
My sign collection has now grown to 15, I can't even carry them all in one trip.
Keep up the good work, you all are an inspiration.

Once again the FResno FReepers take to the streets to proclaim that we support our troops.
Thank You one and all.

Salute!

Good Morning, James!!!

If you can join us for half hour or more on any Friday night, we welcome your support. Those traitors across the street are bringing out the anti-American signs again. They don't understand or don't care the price our country has paid to insure their freedoms as well as the freedoms of all Americans.
It doesn't bother them to use those freedoms to condemn those who fought and died to preserve the freedoms we all enjoy today.
If you can join us, we would love to welcome you to Patriots Place and FReeper Island.
As we can see, Freedom is not Free!

If you can get a group together for an hour or more to show your support of our fight against terrorism, you will enjoy the time spent and our Troops will know we appreciate them.

If you cannot join a group, let others know you support their effort by bumping their threads and giving them some encouragement.

Missed saying good night to you last night. We were thrilled to have you join us again. Come as often as possible.
I did not get my camera out of the car until after you left. I hope that jkphoto got some shots of you.
You both bring a lot of energy to our FReeps!
