Operation Infinite FReep: Columbia, MO Support Our Troops Rally 08-17-02

Bolstered by Prov and camera-shy Wendell, Mid-MO Freepers Bluesage, Dogrobber and Zip once again stood against the Peace-nuts outside the Columbia Post Office this Saturday. The Peace-nuts were their normal goofy lot, one of whom couldn’t figure out which end of his sign was up. Another Peace-nut seemed think wars could not be won, a prospect which I am sure would have come as a surprise to George Washington, Winston Churchill and the entire population of Kuwait.
A reporter came upon our little counter-protest and asked what we were doing. We stated we were protesting the protesters. He proceeded to cross the street and interview the peace-nuts. After snapping pictures of them, he came across to us and interviewed Prov. She did a fine job of stating we were supporting our troops, supporting our country and making a stand against those who could not be depended upon to lift a finger in our defense. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see what the reporter writes, but I’ll report, glowingly, that Prov was WONDERFUL!
This week’s FReep garnered more shows of support than normal. Many drivers smiled and gave us the requested thumbs-up for America. A few voiced thanks! One drove down the street with a thumb up for us on our side of the street and a one half Peace sign out the other side of the car for the Peace-nuts. Meanwhile, the five of us held conversations amongst ourselves, thrilled to be in the company of like-minded Americans. The cool weather, fine conversation, and support from the traffic made this one of the most satisfying FReeps yet. Now, if we can just work on the view in front of the Post Office!

Thanks for applying the "filter" to the photograph. The true nature of the peace-nuts shines through, now!
To: RedBloodedAmerican; OneidaM
You are a very bad boy!! ROFL!!
Where was the question mark suit?????
To: JustAmy
Lest they should forget why we ALL should be supporting our troops.
I created this sign and read it to them over the bullhorn asking them if they knew what the word 'all' meant.

WTG blue and crew. I am so proud of the job you all do each week of countering the peaceniks. Glad to see you are getting some support from the passersby. Eagles Up!

Way to go, MO!!!
They all look like a bunch of 60s dropouts...
Wonder what would happen if you guys got some of the college kids to join you?

Wonder what would happen if you guys got some of the college kids to join you? The Young Republicans from MU will be returning to class and our side of the street in a few weeks. We got some good ones coming.

That kind of contrast should really get the peace-nuts' shorts in a bunch!
Can't wait to see those pictures!

Great job everyone!
I remember my days in Columbia ( Oh, those Stevens College Girls!)
Are they still dancing on the tables at Maxi's?
I may be back up that way this fall, if so I would be proud to stand with all of you to support our troops and humiliate the peace-niks.
Thanks for all your wonderful efforts.
Sincerely Matthew
