We had a lot of fun FReeping the peacniks tonight. There was 11 of us vs about 50 of them. I don't think they got much support. though, all the honks and waves were for us and in support of our troops. I suspect the closer we get to war with Iraq, the more anti-war commies will be coming out of the woodwork. Won't do them much good, though. Fresno is with the majority of Americans who overwhelmingly support the president and the war on terror, including the effort to take out Sodam Insane.
Freepers present tonight:
- Jim, Sheila and Chris Robinson
- JustAmy and Leonard
- Notpoliticallycorewrecked
- Stuart Weil
- Ontherightside
Sarah, the lady who joined us last week, was with us again tonight. Plus we had another new person and her grandson join us this week.
And, Ontherightside joined us from Modesto tonight. Way to go, Modesto! Was great FReeping with you again.
The temps were in the 50s, but there was just enough wind chill to make it feel colder. No rain. Overcast, high fog and a hint of mist near the end of the evening.
Enjoyed FReeping with our old and new friends very much. Missed those of our regulars who couldn't be there tonight and hope to see you all next week.
By the way, we got word today that the local Republicans are passing around a flyer. They are planning a Pro-America rally on our corner starting at 4:00 pm on Friday, Feb 14th. Would be great to get as many FReepers there as possible.

Great pictures :)
My pc has been in the shop (might post a vanity rant about HP) for a couple of weeks. The day of the big anti war rally in DC, I read the LA Times, and there was no mention of anyone countering their demonstration. Now I know the folks here were going to counter demonstrate, so where is the balance in reporting??? Ok, are you all done laughing? How do we get the media attention without getting arrested or shot?
That one thing made me miss Freerepublic more than anything. Relying on the tv and the newspaper just doesn't cut it...

A Big Colorado Bump to all you FResno FReepers!! Way to go again!!
My hats off to all of you who go out there in the dark every Friday all winter. May daylight savings time come and bring you beautiful sunsets for FReeping!
Do you think the useful idiots will go away after we kick Saddam's butt? I certainly hope so.
T-minus 6 hours until we FReep the peace-niks here in Colorado. Today it will be a Tripple FReep in Fort Collins, Loveland, and Longmont. We have a surprise for hte useful idiots today. Check back tonight for our report.
By the way, there are PRO-AMERICA rallies today also in Parker and Greeley Colorado. It is spreading like wildfire around here. I think people seeing us FReepers on the corner all the time is catching on!!!
All the Best.

Another great report. Judging from the support we get from passers-by in Colorado I believe that the only people that are against us liberating IRAQ are on the streets. All though their numbers are low in comparison to the population, they are vocal and visible. All we can do is be equally as visible. We need to let America know there is support for our troops.
It indeed looks like a busy day here in Colorado.
