Very good question Randall. I asked myself the same question back in the beginning of June. Freeper CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC had informed through an email that this had been going on since right after 9/11/01. Why didnt I know about this sooner? When I decided to get involved he reminded me that he had told me a month earlier. I checked and sure enough he had.
So why did I think that I had not been informed of it? It was a matter of priorities. Other issues had clouded my vision and blocked me from seeing what was right in front of me. This whole War on Terrorism is enormous and painfully overwhelming. We run around wondering how can we be effective? What can we do to make a difference?
I still don't know if protesting the anti american anti war protesters is the most effective use of my time. Perhaps I will never know, but one thing I do know is that I and a handful of others are 'doing something' besides sitting around wondering what we can do.
The bigger question and one of much more importance is now that you have 'found out about this', what are you going to do about it? It is easier for me to understand and overlook the blind sheeple and wonder when will they wake up and see the light than it is to wonder why those who see and do nothing, well, do nothing.
Don't wait for someone else to get involved! Here is a link Operation Infinite Freep: Know your Enemy . Find out who these folks are and what they are up to in a neighborhood near you, gather some like minde individuals and face them.
We will be thinking of you next weekend while we are at the ranch in Salida.....horseback riding, hot springs, and home cookin'!
But we'll be back in the game the following week. I am working on two more signs that I feel will effectively, and directly, refute some (sign) arguments they've made.
Seeing the dancing macarena twins, chubbs 1 and chubbs 2, really fired me up. It would be a shame to allow this to turn into an adolescent shouting match, but the dancing just completely unhinges me. And that is knowing full well the remarkable disrespect they are capable of when it comes to the ideals upon which this nation was founded and truly stands for, the sacrifice that built it and the respect due that sacrifice.
I owe fivetoes a big thanks for getting me involved. For too long I saw what was happening all around me and did nothing. Then I found FreeRepublic and started posting. But introspection led me to take a more active role in trying to salvage this wonderful country we have. Now I see AND I DO something. Fivetoes gave me the push I needed. And all you Colorado Freepers give me the incentive to continue......be it in vain or not.
Thank you.
That says it all for me too!
