Mr. Wasp, how unusual! It's usually men that get things mixed up when they see Miss Morgan...

Well, you were the first ones there, good job!

That's fantastic you guys will be there, I hope the turnout is huge.

I was not able to make it, I was busy til 6:30 or so here and got home just in time to tune in to Hannity and Combs and caught the last part of Melanie Morgan being on the show.

She did a fantastic job of countering the Anti-America-and-Troops spokesman with his "we support the troops but will hang them in effigy and it's a good thing" BS.

It's on again I think at 9, so I will tape her part then.

Iraq and America's military make the world safe, NOT for democracy, but for Republics that use the democratic PROCESS!!!

Now that is the way the word "democracy" should be used when referring to our Great Constitutional Republic!

My thanks to everyone that posted here, thanks for your support for our troops!

All of those that were able to be there (and are still there now) be sure to give us your take on the Vigil.Thanks again

Just got back! What a trip!! We tole 'em they were nuthin but a buncha punk-a$$ Hippies, stuck in the 70's thinkin this was Veetnumb and that Nixon wuz still President!!!

Syncro... I gotta tell ya those dummies were so danged full of it, their eyes were completely BROWN!!! We then yelled at 'em when they started hollerin to "bring the troops home," "NOT TILL THEY'VE WON!" Then we tole 'em ta "MOVE TO FRANCE, BUT DON'T FERGET TA SHAVE YER WOMEN'S ARMPITS!!!"

It rained cat & dogs, but we din't care! I finally blew a tonsil and had to go back to the car for some Hall's Eucolyptus lozenges. Then I spotted Menlanie Morgan who was talking live to than chicken (bleep) Mark Williams who was in KFBK's studios.

But best of all... I met a guy with a well lettered sign that said FREEREPUBLIC.COM and had his screen name down in the lower right, but I cain't quite rememmer it! He said he's a lurker, but I told him to get active and get on here and give us his point of view. A really nice young man!!!

God bless your sons and you! Tell 'em an Army vet said, "You do her proud!"

Add my candle to all the rest and maybe our light will illuminate their dark little minds.

Oh! And for the small size of the street and how close the houses are to the street, there was about as much "turnout" as there could have been and it was roughly equal on both sides. There was TV and radio vans on almost every corner at each end of the block and cops policed the street so the occasional car could get through.

Everybody behaved, darn it, but the insults were far more stinging from our side, to theirs. At least we din't let them make it look like Sacramento was just going to lie back and enjoy the insult to America and it's fantastic military men and women!!! So... We WON!!!

God Bless Ya All for Tonight and Everyday Supporting Our Troops!!!

Caught Melanie Morgan Hill earlier on Fox with a nudnik from Citizens for Peace Appeasement, or such.

She was quite polite to him, altho I could sense she would have been only too happy to thrash his sorry carcass,, like a lady, of course, a lady Patriot. :-)

If you're in the greater Sacramento Region, you better watch Channel 19 (Univison) 31, 40, 58 and 13 at 10PM and Channels 3, 10 and Bay Area's 2, 5, and 7 at 11PM and you get an eyeful along with an earful.

Heck! We pledged Allegiance at 'em, sang the National Anthem to 'em as well as God Bless America and even From The Halls of Montezuma at 'em! They kept shyin back away as if we were performin an exercorcism on 'em! I kept waitin for their danged heads ta start spinnin round and round!!!

Ah YES! There ya are Mr. Vengeful Norman the conquerer!! We shore had a gud time doin it!!!

We just had a million laughs at their expense, and I just watched how the local 10PM news casts covered it and as usual, they tried to make the agressors into the victims and all that, but I can tell as one who was THERE... All their phony reports are belong to US!!!

They were just so pathetic it was a million laughs! Everytime they'd try to out-chant us with some slimey slogan, we'd just blast 'em with withering "USA's" interspersed with wilting insults that weren't nearly as off-color as some of their pitiful offerings from behind their pissant peace-symbol signs!!!

But, as usual, the TV news numbskulls had to go inside and give a big audience to the Noxious Berkeley litiGators and America Haters to "get their side of the story!"

The funniest thing is when ever I'd yell a pretty good insult the Mexican Channel guy would come over and record me with his Univision camera and I kept tellin him I din't know it in spanish!!! (next time bring an interpreter if ya wanna interview the star, you honyock!!!Ha Ha Ha) Hasta La Vista, Baby...

Good report SW, thanks!

Yea, Patriotic Songs and chants are like garlic to Vampires to these guys.

The News program I watched at 10 tonite started out saying "Both sides spewing venom" naturally, making it seem like the Patriotic Troop Supporters are the same as the cowards that couch their hate in "I support the troops" while they make a mockery of them.

Here is a little clip of both sides...notice the wife takes her talking points from her handler...her husband. News guy: "The hateful traitors say soldier not hanging in effigy" (poetic licence...not quite what he said.)

Good comments from the guy on the right "right" side:

I saw that piece. That was you, Cool!!!

Great Job!!!

This must pain the bay area and statewide media greatly , actually having to give coverage that shows a helluva lot of folks are very offended by the actions of a bunch of lying lowlife lefties and liebrals.
