Patriots Rally for America - Full Speed Ahead

Free Republic and Rally For America ^ | April 6, 2002 | Dave, Kristinn, Angelwood, tgslTakoma

[Dan from Michigan]

I remember a rally being held outside my dorm window, and all the shouts coming from the windows of 'get the _uck out of my country'.

At the last rally, I had a sign that said "Pick a better country....move there". If the pieceniks were told that..great . If the ROTC were told that...

I was in Brighton/Howell for the Gulf War. I'd just love to see a "peace" rally there. It's be like a rally for the Orange Order in South Boston.

The dems are actually real weak this year. I think there are more MSU GOP members than MSU Dem's. If nothing else, we are more active than they are. We were 40/60 against the Pieceniks at the last rally. Some liberals are actually complaining this MSU is 'too conservative' this year(since Horowitz was allowed to speak and there is some Affirmative Action complaints).

While East Lansing will never be a Livingston County, I've been pleasantly suprised at the low number of 'piecenik' stuff going on here. And we're even brining back the MSU Marksmanship team as well. Things are looking up here.

BTW - The City Inspector never showed. I think my Rocky sign or cigar smokes scared them off.

Observation re the leftist protests' timing:

April 20th, besides being Hitler's birthday, is also famous among users of politically-incorrect vegetable matter. Seems that many years ago students at a certain Marin County high school used to gather at 4:20 PM to inhale the smoke of this herbal substance. Soon the number 420 became adopted as slang for the activity. Eventually this folk tradition seized on the date of 4/20 as a sort of illegal-weed-imbiber's holiday, and recent years have seen big public protests in DC and elsewhere on behalf of changing the laws regarding this plant matter.

I can't help but think that the scheduling of left-agitprop rallies on the same day was DELIBERATE, so as to blur the distinctions between the nature-lovers and the anti-Bushies, potentially radicalizing the former and making the latter's contingent seem bigger and happier. Any thoughts?

BTW, here on the Left Coast we have our own version of Red Spring Fever to address. Check my post at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/661144/posts?page=4

Great job, Dave. The lead-in is perfect for a flier.

BTW, Joe Galloway just came on C-SPAN from Wednesday. He was speaking to the Naval Institute in Annapolis.

Dave, best wishes to you and all those attending the East Coast FReep on April 20th. : )

SFBayArea FReepers, - found at actionsf.org (part of A.N.S.W.E.R.) - the "IntoleRANTS" will be assembling on SATURDAY, APRIL 20, in SAN FRANCISCO at 11:00 AM at Delores Park, marching to the Civic Center at
12 Noon for their rant at the Civic Center Plaza at 1:00 P.M.

Anyone interested in FReeping them/supporting America/Israel at the Civic Center?

Morning BTTT - good meeting yesterday.

[leadpenny]

Good morning, Dave. You're right, it was a good meeting. Right after you left we got an awful lot done.;)

BTW, Galloway said in his speech, "I learned just enough from the Marines to keep the Army from killing me."

I take back everything I said about Joe Galloway. . . . . Not really. He is one of the few who bridges the gap between the press and the military.

[leadpenny]

Thanks for your support. May I suggest a separate thread for a SF FReep? I, for one, will sure help you bump it along. Good FReeping!

[Neets]

Recommended reading: The Faces of Our Domestic Enemies by my Marine buddy Mike Wallace - a first hand account of the September 29th FReep against the unwashed in Washington D.C. Mike will once again join us on the 20th of April and I am sure he will write yet another stirring and "cut to the quick" piece.

Morining Nita,

Hey! The way those Cherry Blossoms have lasted this year, they may still be here on the 20th. DC is extra beautiful this year. Oh, and Dave promised, NO RAIN!

[Neets]

NO RAIN!!!!!!!!! Woo hooooooooooooo!! I am really getting psyched up for this...one more weekend and counting!!!

The Faces of Our Domestic Enemies by my Marine buddy Mike Wallace

I hate to admit it but that is the first time I have seen that piece. Very Stirring!

BTW, Mark Regev, Chief Spokesman for the Embassy of Israel is on C-SPAN's Morning Journal now. Wasn't his name mentioned yesterday?

[VaMarVet]

Good luck and hope you can get out there and meet the domestic enemies in SF - here is a hot link to your thread: SF Bay Alert: A "Genoa West" in the Making?.

After being convoyed by Angelwood and tgsltakoma from the Pentagon to the meeting, I don't feel so bad about not finding the location before. Might as well have been with Marion in the swamps; the commies could never find us.

Great progress reported on all fronts. The rally is going to be terrific. I'll send my check soon. I know it's a tough time of year, as the Feds and States are confiscating money from everyone, but I hope our FRiends can spare a dime.

As Mr. Natural might say Freep on Freepin' on!

bttt

[leadpenny]

I don't feel so bad about not finding the location before. LOL

I've always known where the place is but yesterday was the first time I parked in the right parking lot.

[VaMarVet]

Just another thank you for the logo - I am in awe every time I look at it. You done good;-)

[Neets]

Any headcount numbers yet toots??? A guestimate at least?? I am hoping this will be a HUGE freeper turnout.

[VaMarVet]

Latest guesstimate = HUGE.
