It was a chilly fifty-five degrees in Fresno, California, tonight as a dozen Freepers and patriots stood on opposing corners from an equal number of peaceniks. Uncle Sam (Chadsworth) and the Statue of Liberty (Mtngrl@vrwc) joined us tonight to hold up signs asking those driving by to show their support for the troops and President Bush.
Fresno's motorists (at least those who drive through the city's busiest intersection of Blackstone and Shaw Avenues) for the most part are on our side. Hundreds and hundreds of people honked to show their support.
We noticed an immediate increase in the number of honks after the peaceniks punched their time cards at precisely 6:30 (as usual). When they are out there, a lot of people stare in disbelief at their audacity to actually hold up signs that say "Don't bomb Iraq" and therefore they don't really notice us standing there.
FReepers who attended tonight's protest were:
After the Freep, most of us met at Lyons for a couple of hours of good food and lively conversation.
To those who weren't able to attend tonight, we missed you! To those who were able to come, thanks! A special thanks to JustAmy for bringing cookies. They were wonderful!
What a quick thinker you are! Cute!
Got a picture of the wee one? I am sure everyone would LOVE to see it!
Isn't that what they are for? (hehehe!)
I don't own a sewing machine ; however, I did make the kiddo a Halloween costume ( she wanted to be Yoda one year, of all things and I made the costume .), without a pattern, by hand, when she was 9. I'll NEVER do that again. Y-U-C-K ! Being a mother means doing the unexpected and doing it well. It does to me, anyway. LOL
I only have one pic to post, the rest were just repeats of what has been posted earlier.
The costumes were great fun and did draw a little attention from the motorists. Uncle Sam did get some disrespectrul sign language and a young parasite lady started yelling " Peace is Patriotic". I just wonder how antipatriotic she will remain when some terrorist wipes out something or someone that she has an interst in. These people just don't get it - Peace does not mean patriotism until our troops enforce peace with the current efforts going on. Why these Parasites don't see that if it weren't for the efforts of our troops ( GOD SPEED FOR THEM) and the current administration's efforts to clean things up is far beyond my comprehension. There, I am through ranting now!
Great report Ms Libertylady. Now I have to warm up my doghouse and it is Justfranks fault!
Been there, done that, --don't work any more, done wore it out.
Anyone know of a Godiva chocolate upgrade -- need something new to keep me out of the lil house. LOL
OK - Shiela, I am way too coooool to start a fire in my beard.
Was that OK?
JIM - Did Shiela pick herself a flower tonight , again?
They don't get it because our Troops have kept them safe for a very long time
My father fought in WWII and my mother often tells me the stories have how everyone had to cut back and do without because of the war
You want my opinion those folks are SPOILED ROTTEN BRATS who have not a clue
BTW .. Nice Rant
It's that, or a special trip to Saks, for dear lir. :-)
Right on there gal, and that goes for some of the old geezers like myself. Why they don't realize that if it weren't for our fighting men and women, they wouldn't be able to stand against them. What a crazy faction of our soceity these Parasites are.
oops ranting again -- sorry!
Good night all, my dog house is warm and I got fresh water in my bowl.
Jewlery sometimes works ..
