Operation Infinite FReep: Columbia, MO Support Our Troops Rally 08-17-02
Bluesagewoman posted by JustAmy

Posted on 08/18/2002 7:09:20 AM PDT by JustAmy

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!

We have the clean, beautiful, young enthusiastic cheerleader types like Ashley who really stir it up. Hopefully, VRWC will be back shortly also. I think the ziplets will be getting a few Saturdays off (one works and MacD and the other at Steak and Shake) so they'll be coming whenever they can. We are hoping to see our CD playing, America loving PT driver next week again. It's getting better.

As long as we have BluesAgeWoman and Dogrobber, they'll never get us down. Eagles Up

I was thinking the Mo Freepers should contact the Young Repubs at Stephens. There probably aren't many libs there.

When I was there, Barry Goldwater came to campus,,,, my first campaign, eventho I wasn't old enough to vote.

I haven't been back for 35 years. Where is Maxi's? Is it out East? It used to be called the Coronado, if it's the one I'm thinking of. I had to crawl out the bathroom window there when the band started singing "The Liquor Inspectors are Here".

.. I would be proud to stand with all of you to support our troops and humiliate the peace-niks.

You are always welcome to our humble gathering.
