Operation Infinite FReep - DC After Action Report

[lainie]

I went to an SAS event at the L.A. federal building one year on Mother's Day (in response to the commie mommies). I took my toddler and infant with me. I'll never forget this old man in a car -- he was the passenger and stared at me as the car approached to take the turn at the corner. As we'd had many cars honking and giving thumbs-up all afternoon, I figured he was one of them. But no. As he got closer, this old man, grayed and face lined with years of supposed wisdom, turned his middle finger up at me and my children standing on a corner holding a sign that said "Million Moms don't speak for me." So I have felt their love too, and it would be funny were it not so damn sad.

Did you see exit148 in the pictures yesterday at the counter protest in DC?

This is my first posting ever on Freerepublic.

Late yesterday afternoon, my wife and I took our children to the videostore. We rented a number of videos, one of which was the one take by the camera men in the World Trade Center. As someone who lived the first 29 years of his life in the shadow of the WTC, worked in it and the building around it, the video was of very personal interest to me.

As many of you probably know, the original intent of the camera crew was to follow a Probie (or rookie) NYC firefighter till he fought his first fire and became a "firefighter." The Engine Company they were following was the first on the scene at the WTC. The chaos, fear and death captured as 2WTC went down is unspeakable.

It is amazing how many of those who protested yesterday have forgotten what happened there and at the Pentagon (we must never forget what happened there either!!!).

As I watched the video and thought about the scenes I had witnessed on CSPAN the day earlier, their were a couple of thoughts going thru my mind:

1. I was sorry that I could not be there with you. My sign would have simply been: 9/11 Never Forget, Never Forgive.

2. Are these people that naive to believe that their is no threat or are they just too fat and happy.

3. These are the same people (or at least most of them) who protested again the World Bank/IMF in late Sept./Oct. of last year. I guess the only way they can stay in business is to attack group after group. It reminds me of NYC Foley Square...the same groups use to protest racism, abortion, etc. Same faces, same tired slogans.

4. Where were they during Bosnia? Where were they during Mogadishu?

5. Mr. Saddam is not such a bad person, only Mr. Bush is. Shades of 1938...Peace in our Times.


I am sorry that I was not able to join you. But as someone who has protested Castro in NYC and ABC before its taping of The Day After, I look forward to joining you in the future.

Excellent editorial slamming coverage in The Compost, with it's "scrubbed, anti-septic version" of WWP Stalinists and fellow travelers, "reminiscent of those old broadsides from Mao's press: 'Tens of thousands ...making a thunderous presence in the bitter cold.'" It notes that despite the hailing of cops killers as warriors for peace, and all the other horrors, there was only one direct qoute of a speaker at the rally. Click and read to find out what it was.

Thank God for C-Span

Thanks so much for supporting our military. I'm not a vet but I do have three sons who are now serving. Your support means a lot and is very much appreciated. I have spent a good portion of my weekend asking people to really listen to what the idiot protesters were saying. Not to mention writing polite but scathing letters to all of the unions who shared a stage with anarchist.

My bones are still chattering from the "Human Shields" FReep at the White House the next day.

Hope to have a few 'cold ones' with you guys this week at CPAC.
