[PetroniDE]

A few closing notes:

1) The "long distance" award goes to Ron H. He had two of the best signs (President Bush and the Terrorist Hunting Permit), was the first Freeper to show, and had by a wide margin the longest drive.
2) The large "We Support Our Troops" sign was organized by Flyer. Several Freepers made financial contributions in that effort.
3) Humblegunner allowed for the use of his home as a staging area.
4) In walking to the Freep, I noticed six automobiles owned by the “anti-American” crowd that had safety/environmental and/or registration stickers that were expired. He noted the make and models and pointed the locations to the police in attendance. One of them stated that they would right citations. I don't like the stickers (or paying for them) as much as anyone else, but if I must pay, then they also must pay).
5) In granting interviews regarding why we were here, I was very polite and mentioned specifics of Powell's presentation, failure of the UN regarding enforcement of their resolutions, explanation why war is the only option left, and comparing the WMD disarmament of Iraq versus other countries (RSA, Kazhakstan, and Ukraine).

If I knew how to ping the Oklahoma Chapter on this, I would.

I must brag on my activist husband...Today he was driving through the city (Tulsa, OK) with our children, and he passed a group of protesters. One was holding a sign that said "God Hates War" and another held one saying "Peace!" My oldest son asked him about the "God Hates War" statement, alerting my husband to the fact that our children were being bombarded with lies and liberal agenda...so he turned around and went back to the protest.

The first exchange with the man holding the "Peace" sign went as follows:

Husband: "You know what's great about this?"
Peace man: (excitedly) "What?!"
Husband: "That because men fought and died in war, you have the right to stand here on the corner and protest like this! It was war that gave you this freedom, not peace."
...to which the protester responded intelligently, "Whatever!"

My husband then moved on to the "God Hates War" protester and it went like this:

"Did you know that in the Bible, God actually SENT people into war?" The woman obviously knew she had no valid arguement, so she went straight for emotional manipulation: "Well, um, you have sons, and they are going to reinstate the DRAFT!" My husband shook his head at her and left her to sulk in misery over her lack of valid arguments.

I'm so proud! He did it in front of my children, so they are learning to be activists as well. Just had to brag.
