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.

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.
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.
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
Way to go Doc!
cute dog!
Ah, the good doctor operates yet again, cutting right through their lies. Thank you to all who countered the America haters.
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
Way to go!!
The pups bandanna is a nice touch!
bttt
Can I bring my miniatur dachshund to WR?
Good One!!!
Good job y'all!
You are welcome.
I see you are a Marylander, any chance of visiting us one Saturday afternoon?
[Mr] T
I don't know that anyone can work the bullhorn like the Doc! I'll see what I can do next Saturday!
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.
