Operation Infinite FReep in Fresno, California (11-01-02)
11/01/02
Posted on 11/01/2002 10:26:49 PM PST by mtngrl@vrwc
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:
- Jim, Chris, and Sheila Robinson
- JustAmy
- FriendAnn
- Gracie1
- Chadsworth
- Mtngrl@vrwc
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!

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. Because many have never done without and they don't know

Big BUMP !!!

Well it looks as though FResno has once again come through with a fine FReep! Great Job!, Well Done!, Hoo Raa!, Fantastic!
I love the new costumes, keep the idiots outclassed. I can't beleive your group is rowdy enough to get 86'd from the resturant, but maybe I'm wrong. FReeping is so much fun it's hard to stop when the useful idiots pack up and climb back under their rocks.
T-minus 5 hours and counting until we give the Colorado version of idiots another lesson in Rally 101. They are so pitiful on their lonely corner, I think I will help them feel even more usuless.
Today officially starts the winter version of FReeping in Fort Collins. The temperature right now (7:00a.m.) is 22 degrees with a daytime high of 33, occasional snow showers are expected. Fort Collins got about 6 inches of snow yesterday.
I think I will make a snowman to hold my flag today.
All the Best!

Wonderful FReep and FReeport.
To: mtngrl@vrwc
Wonderful FReep, Great costumes.
No, the peaceniks don't get it. The sign that says "Terrorists don't want peace," says it all. It isn't about peace, it is about control. The peaceniks also want control, so the terrorists' end the the peacenik's goal.
Sorry, I just really dislike peaceniks. Thank you all for being out there every week.

TR and Colo. FReepers
You guys go out there and warm things up for those damn AntiAmerican Parasites. I don't mean ambient temperature either.
HAVE A GREAT FREEP- looking forward to reading the report.
How about tossing a hard pack snowball over to a Parasite for ole Chads.LOL
