Hippie march sparks counter protest
(East Moriches, NY) At 4:00 PM, two small political groups collided when members marching from various anti-war organizations marched passed two 17-year-old members of the Westhampton Teenage Republicans (http://WesthamptonTars.8m.com) who had flags and a sign of their own. The anti-war groups confronted the teenage republicans after they were spotted across the street along their marching route. At first mistaken as fellow anti-war protesters, they were invited to march with the group. Then, the group's leader realized that the two teens were in fact on the other side and supporting our troops. After a lengthy debate, the anti-war group left as the pro-American teens waved their flags and celebrated "the fact that our troops who fight for us now are allowing us to use our rights to counter the very people countering them." They later commented on how remarkable it was that "two 17-year-old teens could stop a whole march without saying a word." ###

Now there's some youth to be proud of!
All of FREEPdom eagerly awaits the pictures.
How big was the gaggle of HIPPIES?
Woo Hoo! LOL I'm very proud of those teens!
BTTT
Restores my faith in the youth of today!
"haze" of hippies, not "gaggle" :)
Good kids. This kind of thing gives me hope for our republic.
Speaking of hippies, isn't Helter Skelter on tonight?
It's good to see you going strong. I remember a while back that you or someone from your group posted to ask for some constructive criticism of your newly constructed cyber-site. To even ask for criticism shows a maturity of wisdom. Thank you for your efforts in the name of liberty and freedom.
Sounds good, but why is this web site hosted out of Utah?
Passed on the Press Release to several Arkansas papers - it is on ONE of them now!

Considering that hippies are about as clean, social and appealing as crows, I say we refer to gatherings of hippies just as we refer to gatherings of crows.
Call their group a "murder."
hey, now... unlike Hippies, crows are intelligent and playful and keen to learn, as well as graceful and lovely in their own way.
the only similarities between crows and hippies are that both breeds make loud and unpleasant noises, and both feed on carrion and garbage.
please don't insult crows and ravens so.
I stand behind my term for a motley gathering of hippies: HAZE
It SUITS them so.
Don't know. Bet a good portion were old and smelly. (In thier younger days, they were just smelly).
Well half of what I remember about them is still the same - SMELLY!
There is hope for the future.
Seems we have similar pet peeves. I cringe every time someone refers to certain Liberal types as "rats." I like rats far better than those b-st-rds. Rats are cleaner, too. ; )
