It was a great day on the North East and South West corners of Mulberry and College in Ft. Collins. Freepers in attendance this week were:
RMRattlesnake and family
CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC and children
fivetoes
There were several members of the VFW Post 1781, Joe, Jim, Harry and several others.
Three members of the Fife and Drum Corps along with the young drummer.
We were also joined by several people from various outlets.
The antis numbers were less than last week, but the usual suspects showed up.
There was of course, the usual horn honking support of passers by. It is always welcome to hear hoots and hoorays and seeing the waving as people pass.
If you remember last week one of the idiots laid the American flag on the ground while he worked on a sign. This week they had no flag on their side of the street. This point was driven home verbally. I told them it was obvious thay flunked Flag Etiquette 101 so they couldn't use a flag as a prop this week.
We were infiltrated by two older gentleman who are members of the communist party. They handed out copies of a News Week article that was, I think suppose to change our minds.
Many of us park in the underground parking garage and the wife of one of the Fife and Drum corps members saw one of their regulars in the parking area video taping the license plates of our vehicles while we were on the street. This may require some thoughtful retalitation.
The two young ladies on their side were trying to dance the Macarena (sp) and not very sucessful I might add. I asked them what they did with the money their parents gave them for dancing lessons.
I brought along a page of quotes to use via the bullhorn. Here is a sampling:
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. - George Orwel
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!" ~B. Franklin
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." -- John F. Kennedy (Life member of the NRA)
"God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it." - Daniel Webster
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." - Thomas Paine.
Our favorite sign as usual.
Today's Fife and Drum Corps members.
Larry, a new supporter of liberty.
A shot of the good guys
Fivetoes' new bin laden "Kill All Americans' sign along with the VFW's Support Our Troops sign. 
Here is what we had to look at.
CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC and his children.
Hey man, Like peace Bro. I try to explain that we all want peace. We just disagree on how to go about it.
Anyway, I had a good time as did the rest of the folks on the 'sunny side of the street'.

I have had my pic and plates taken by LEOs while wearing the TRT blue and gold. The difference is that these folks could have ties to terrorism for all we know.
"Dancing Boy" was there. He cleaned up rather good, no camo, no peace sign around his neck and most importantly No Flag in his Hand He just may have gotten a talking to about not provoking the folks across the street (us). Disrespecting the flag would probably bring them way more attention then they want as someone may actually investigate them.
Keep 'em thinking about truth and The American Way. I appreciate you all. Zip (Vet 60/66)
