WEEK 26 - Olney, MD, 6-24-06: Operation Infinite FReep, DR RAOUL CAUSES MOONBATS EARLY RETREAT

June 25,2006 | Trooprally

[trooprally]

The moonbats could not take the heat today from Doctor Raoul's bullhorn [BELOW]. While he arrived a little late, but with a bag full of Philly pretzels (in "brown paper bag" just behind bull horn and Lurker Bill in back ground) for our side, he jumped right in with his questions of "Why did the Quakers stand by while Pol Pot murdered millions", "Why don't you become human shields for the Iraqi's who are being killed by terrorists", "Why did you delay shipments of food to the starving Somalians?", ending the above with "You have blood on your hands that you can't wash away", and several more. It had our side laughing, especially the new couple.

Doctor Raoul also loaned us his bullhorn which we'll put to good use in Olney. Cindy_True_Supporter is always yelling to the "Quackers" across the street, now she'll be heard. It can also be used at some of the other FReeps where bullhorns are allowed. Thank You Doctor.

The moonbats folded up their side at 3:15 on the nose, their official end time. The seemed more grumpy today with Doctor Raoul's questions then on other days. I don't ever remember ALL of the grumpies leaving at the same time. They left so fast that the two taking apart their banner [BELOW] were the last to leave. Usually Barking Waveman and Peek-A-Boo (she wasn't there today) stay way longer than the rest of the moonbats. But not today. Thank You again Doctor Raoul.

The new couple [BELOW LEFT], locals Carol and her husband Glen, really enjoyed Doctor Raoul's questioning of the moonbats. Glen is a lurker on FR and several other milblogs, but never signed up. They have a son currently serving in Iraq. Carol was the one that stopped by several weeks ago and said they would come out. An unexpected family thing came up last week and they couldn't make it. She also brought their dog again but we didn't count her. [BELOW RIGHT] Dog with feet of [Mr] T talking to the feet of Lurker Glen and Carol's feet.

I forgot to say Thank You to Carol & Glen as we were breaking up, so if you're lurking here, Thanks for coming out and for your help.

[Mrs] T's American Legion commander, Glen, [BELOW] also came out today. He's an Iwo Jima vet. It was great to see him with the Legion cap on. He grabbed a sign after socializing for a bit.

The list of FReepers in attendance were regulars Lurker Bill, [Mrs] Trooprally ([Mrs] T), Cindy_True_Supporter (CTS), and myself and then there was Doctor Raoul.
Pics are by [Mrs] T.

That makes 8 for the good guys and there were only 5 of the moonbats. The best part of today was when [Mrs] T went into Popeyes to buy drinks a little bit after we started. When she left, there were 3 of us on the corner. When she returned, we had 7. We should send [Mrs] T over for drinks more often. [BELOW LEFT] CTS, and [BELOW RIGHT] [Mr] T with new sign.

The rain held off today, just like at Walter Reed last night. We've had heavy rain forecast since 2PM Friday with flash flood warnings since Friday night, but it has only rained to the south and north of us.

We got a good number of honks, waves and thumbs up. The only real cat call we got today was when we were taking down the banners. I guess even the moonbats supporters can't take the heat and stayed home.

And now for the out numbered moonbats.

[BELOW] And occasionally, the moonbats do have their passerbys that agree with them. Even then, Chief Grumpy still is grumpy.

REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney, MD
Same time, 3 PM to 4:30 PM

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

RE: Olney FReep -

If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney, here it is. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.

A special Thanks to BufordP for enhancing the original plain type directions.

[trooprally]

ping for a leisure Sunday reading since its raining here in D.C. and we can't get out for normal yard work.

Olney freep bump

[Michael Goldsberry]

Way to go Doc!

[Landry Fan]

cute dog!

[Bigg Red]

Ah, the good doctor operates yet again, cutting right through their lies. Thank you to all who countered the America haters.

[trooprally]

"cute dog!"

With you being a cat person, I guess that is all we can expect. :-))

It was real good seeing you out at WR again last Friday. Two weeks in a row, do I see a trend?

[Mr] T

[AprilfromTexas]

Way to go!!

The pups bandanna is a nice touch!

bttt

[Sensei Ern]

Can I bring my miniatur dachshund to WR?

[bmwcyle]

Good One!!!

[Just A Nobody]

Wonderful AAR and pics!

Good job y'all!

[trooprally]

If s(he) will stay on your bike. Dogs have been brought to WR several times in the past.

But in Olney, our rule is, no dogs allowed to cross the street to the moonbats side, not sure what they'll catch. The vets in Olney are expensive.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

The bandanna was the owners' thing. It is a nice touch. Maybe we can get Barking Waveman to wear one, very tightly knotted.

When you going to be in town again? Olney's FReep is growing and we could use your support. It's in the afternoon, so you'll be able to catch up on your sleep from Friday's FReep at WR.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Thanks.

When are you all coming up next - the Doc's bullhorn is waiting!!! It's easier on the lungs than trying to yell across the street. You all always add excitement to the corner.

Can't wait for Cindy_True_Supporter to use it. She's always yelling at the "Quackers" but her voice doesn't carry that far.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

You are welcome.

I see you are a Marylander, any chance of visiting us one Saturday afternoon?

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Thanks - Looking forward to your next trip north.

With Doctor Raoul's bullhorn, the additional locals starting to show up and visits by FReepers, hopefully we can get rid of the vermin and wrap this FReep up. It's not like WR, where Code Pink's hard core a##holes stand.

I doubt if Barking Waveman will give up, but a lone person standing on the corner is pitiful, especially since Bush's "Plan" IS working.

[Mr] T

[Just A Nobody]

I don't know that anyone can work the bullhorn like the Doc! I'll see what I can do next Saturday!

[trooprally]

Next week would be real good. Cindy-T-B will be out of town.

[Mr] T

[Flora McDonald]

Something about that Granny sitting with her knees spread holding "Is it Vietnam yet?" is toooooo funny.

Would you mind if I downloaded it?

Great job as always. Thank you.

[trooprally]

Our pleasure, down load away. There are some pics of her just sitting there in past Reports. To see all the Report threads, click to Trooprally's Profile, and then click links. Check back about 5-6 weeks ago.

Please ping us if you use the pics on a different thread.

[Mr] T

[zoomie81]

Bravo!!! Great job as always. :-)

[3D-JOY]

Bump for the great rainy day reading of a great report!

[trooprally]

Thanks for the "Bravo". Don't get many of those.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Thanks.

When will you be able to make it to WR. We can sit you next to Landry Fan. We can have our own "FReeper Ward".

Hopefully neither one of you need a bed pan. :-))

[Mr] T

[Boazo]

I love that Doctor Raoul.

[trooprally]

He is a neat guy. And most generous, and travels far to help with the D.C. Chapter.

FYI - strange Profile page. You must explain sometime.

[Mr] T

[Doctor Raoul]

Something about that Granny sitting with her knees spread holding "Is it Vietnam yet?" is toooooo funny.

Too many drugs in the 60s accounts fior her not even remembering the 60s.

[Landry Fan]

[Flora McDonald]

I'll definitely give you a ping whenever it is used. Thanks!

[Flora McDonald]

One of my kids went to Portland Oregon for the first time and called me from the airport there. First thing he said was, "There sure are a lot of old hippies here!"

I informed him that old hippies go out there to die.

I wouldn't mind having Granny on a t-shirt come to think about it.

[trooprally]

"I wouldn't mind having Granny on a t-shirt come to think about it."

We have several hand fulls or so of grand kids. You want one. They come with a bag of gummi bears!!

[Mr] T

Caught in a time warp, the lefties have trouble scoring dope. That's why they hang around in the street.

[trooprally]

Actually they have lost their "natural instinct" for finding where the drugs are. Too much of the brown acid in their early years.

As we were talking to Doctor Raoul after the FReep, I homeless looking guy came up to us and asked us to call an ambulance for his friend, which Doctor Raoul did. The friend was lying on the grass under the trees behind the enclosed bus stop on Georgia Avenue. Apparently the guy thought his friend had ODed. He didn't, but he was really messed up. By the time the ambulance arrived, the friend was somewhat aware of his surroundings.

A young lady from a local hair salon was driving by and recognized the two guys from past dealings with them and their crack problems. She stopped and helped calm the friend down because when he heard the ambulance, he started to get agitated.

Afterward, Doctor Raoul gave the young lady several Philly pretzels. She also said that if her schedule permits, she'll come out and help us.

[Mr] T

[bmwcyle]

And the Libertarians want to make drug legal.

[trooprally]

Sure glad they didn't know about DOC's Philly pretzels. They would have stolen the pretzels and traded them for drugs.

[Mr] T

[Flora McDonald]

Yes, please. I'll take two.

[\/\/ayne]

Well, let me add a hearty "Bravo!" for a job well done. You are winning! Great work, DC Chapter and patriotic Olney locals!

I see that Waveman and his friend are still having some problems with electricity.

[trooprally]

And a "hearty" ROTFLOL!!!

Thanks. I think that you have a trade mark photoshop idea.

The momentum seems to be building with the locals. The more that come out, the more likely others will come. The shy ones can get 'lost' in the crowd and not stand out. We have a long way to go though to get the numbers like at Walter Reed and some recent events like Camp Pendleton's 500 supporters of the 8 Marines.

But its coming along.

[Mr] T

[Bigg Red]

I see you are a Marylander, any chance of visiting us one Saturday afternoon?

&&&
I would love to, but it will be some time in the future. We now live on the Eastern Shore, plus, just as my husband has nearly recovered from breaking his hip, I just had knee surgery today.

[Albion Wilde]

He is a neat guy. And most generous, and travels far to help with the D.C. Chapter.

Aw, it's not that far from Takoma Park...

[Albion Wilde]

[trooprally]

That's great. I think I look forward to seeing what FReepers come up with re the pics [Mrs] T took.

[Mr] T

[3D-JOY]

Freeper Ward is funny!!

Bedpans are NOT!!

ROTFLMAO

[trooprally]

Glad to get a half smile out of you. Keep up your fantastic healing and best wishes from both of us.

[Mr] T
