WEEK 38 - Olney, MD, 9-16-06: Operation Infinite FReep - MOONBATS STILL CAN'T SHAKE FREEPERS
Sept. 18,2006 | TROOPRALLY

Posted on 09/18/2006 4:59:36 PM PDT by trooprally

RAPID TRANSFORMATION FORCE REPORT No. 4:

We were out there raining on the Moonbats once again along with Mother Nature. The moonbats have tried picking a different time each week that would shake the D.C. Chapter's Rapid Transformation Force. They failed once again!!!

The moonbats arrived around 10:35AM. By 10:45 the RTF was in place.

The Force's roll call included Cindy_True_Supporter (CTCTS [Mrs] Trooprally ([Mrs] T), and myself. [Mrs] T took some pictures but a heavy drizzle started after we arrived and kept her from taking more. So we weren't able to get all that we wanted. Also, Mr. Bull Horn is weather sensitive challenged and couldn't make it.

We three were also at the afternoon FReep.

BELOW: Myself and CTS before the rain started.




AND THE MOONBATS

BELOW LEFT: Peek-A-Boo is back with MOBilizing Mothers representative. Barking Waveman was once again a no show. Must be to early for him to get up. BELOW RIGHT: The shell ridden sign is back.




3PM FREEP REPORT:

It is great to have the corner all to ourselves. All the beeps and horn honking are for us. But once again, it was our third wet FReeps in less than 24 hours, in the last 3 weeks. I may have to rethink the spot where I stand. There are no tree branches above me and I seemed to get wetter than the other FReepers. At least at Walter Reed last night, everyone got equally wet.

BELOW: Lurker Bill joined us for the afternoon FReep. He didn't need a raincoat because of the tree canopy.

BELOW: CTS with me attaching additional sign to banner's pole. Because of the drizzle, we only put up one banner. The politicians' signs are gone so are signs were very noticeable.

BELOW: CTS with me talking to the father of a soldier. His son is going back to Iraq for his second tour. He was very grateful for us being out there.



Olney - What a great WET place to FReep




REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney 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.

D.C. Chapter's real big SUPPORT THE TROOPS RALLY for September 23,2006. On this thread are numerous hotels and directions, so look through the posts.

Cindy Sheehan will not personally be ther but Code Pink will be. FRee Republics rally last year was a success for such short notice. Now you have advance notice. The troops need to see that we support them. They are getting tired of the driveby media throwing mud on everything they do.

Please send This pdf Flyer to others. Print out (In Profile) the following flyer and distribute. Flyer compliments of \/\/ayne, Thanks.

RE: Olney FReep -

We also need good crowds at Olney the next several weeks to help cover both corners. If you can make it, we would appreciate your presence. It might be a little dull without the moonbats there unless you are part of the RTF.

At least you know all the waves and honking are for us and that is invigorating.

If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney See Post 39 Here. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.

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

The Archive of Olney FReeps is here or in the LINKS section of Trooprally's ABOUT Page.

Next week the Rapid Transformation Force will be in D.C. for the big Support the Troops Rally. So this report will cover only the afternoon FReep.

Thanks.

I firmly believe our efforts and all those who FReep the moonbats throughout the U.S. keep the protester's numbers from swelling as it did in Vietnam.

Awesome!

As a over-the-road truck driver I see alot of the eastern half of the country. I have been amazed at the frequency of seeing support stickers/ribbons on cars in all states, signs, etc on over passes. Still, sometimes the effort wanes.

We still have troops coming home from time to time. It would be great if people could keep remembering our troops with efforts like this all over the country.

While our troops are in the field, we still need to keep the signs and ribbons up. When they come home, we for sure don't want them to see 'nothing.'

I hope Americans everywhere will be inspired by this great effort you are undertaking, to do a little more themselves.

Thanks for what you and the others are doing. GREAT JOB!

It's easy to see why the moonbats are tagged moonbats when they have a sign saying it's patriotic to impeach the US President. Nutso's.

That's some mighty fine FReeping there, Mr. trooprally, Mrs. trooprally, cindy-true-supporter and LurkerBill!

You are awesome!

Had such a great time Friday night - I am definitely going to double my FReeping pleasure and do Olney the next time I am in DC...

Had to laugh at that one pic of the Lady Moonbat hiding her face. Was that a bottle in her pocket or was she just happy to see you??? LOL.

Thanks for everything and more importantly, thanks for all you do for our troops.

Hope to see you again soon-
Dinah

Are those the living dead holding that shell ridden sign? And thank you for posting a picture with that woman holding the sign so we couldn't see her face. Judging from her body, well, I just don't want to see it. Thanks for all you do.

Protest Warriors and FReepers are doing our best to keep the Troop Support in the public eye. And we keep growing.

The milblogs are starting to link to the threads. Just this past Friday at Walter Reed several bloggers in addition to Citizen Smash and Chcknhawk showed up. In the past we've had several of their readers come out.

And the various conservative groups are starting to support our Rallies. It's growing.

You be safe on the road, especially around the D.C. Area.

Have to jump in here 1-Eagle and say if your travels ever take you through DC you have to make the effort to do these FREEPs.

I did my first one at WR on Friday. I'm still floating.

I'm telling you it will do your heart good and restore your faith in humanity. The large number of honks, hollers and hoots given to the FReepers versus the occasional puny bleat for those lowdown Pinkos will just blow you away. And when the guys pull in on the bus? Man, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Great stuff.

Plus, Your big rig would be very cool with the Burma Shave signs on them! Now that I think of it, it would be pretty cool for you to go jamming with the Rapid Transformation Force at Olney, too! Those moonbats wouldn't know what hit them! Ha-ha.

Cheers and travel safe -
Dinah

Dinah: You are definitely welcomed in Olney. Thanks for coming to Walter Reed last Friday. We couldn't do anything about the rain, but everything else was great.

Paddlefish & DL: We believe that Peek-A-Boo and Barking Waveman have a 'thing' for each other. It could be that bulge in her pocket. Maybe she ran out of money for her sex change.

The "living Dead", that's great. They haven't been out recently. Wasn't there a full moon recently?

It would be cool, but 18 wheelers aren't allowed inside the beltway unless delivering. I actually have to avoid the whole beltway if at all possible, too many traffic tieups. Just the other day I took I-81 into PA, an additional 150+ miles, rather than mess with DC and Baltimore. What a mess traffic is there.

We have it from a very good source that they can be considered 'moonbat' Quakers. Read the jogger's view of them about half way thru this thread. We have first hand proof. Before the jogger gave us his "seal of approval", he talked to us and checked out our arguing facts. We met with his approval. Besides, if they really cared about our Troops, why allow the anti-Bush signs and PeaceActionMC to take over their "support" of the troops?

Not sure how you were trying to connect the 'holes in the banner' with them being moonbats. Everyone knows that flaps are cut INTO banners because of the wind. But they cut HOLES that just looked "moonbatty". IMHO

From your ABOUT page, ... where liberal democrats live in their lily white Soho or Manhattan walkups or in other affluent locales all over the state (and not a person of color to be found in THEIR neighborhoods)."

You sound fairly biased and not all factual. I have a lot of conservative relatives in Up State NY and they are surrounded by liberals. Maybe if the liberals only lived in Soho and Manhattan your State wouldn't be such a bastion of crap as you describe it.

Yes there are many conservative folks in western, central and upstate New York. Unfortunately, those who turn this state blue are all in NYC/Long Island and the dying manufacturing centers in Syracuse and Buffalo. They vote democrat, and by their sheer numbers they outweigh us.

My state is a mess because of RINO's who have no clue; my bio also said you can't tell 'em apart from the dems without a scorecard.

I'll have to take your word about the old guys then......

Damn - I didn't realize it was a FULL week. We could have gotten together for dinner or something.

Glad you made it home okay, back to your cold weather. It's going to get cool around here later this week - Low 70s!

Take care and we had a very good time FReeping with you.

9/11 came from where exactly? Iraq under Saadam did this to us?

Yes, we know for sure that Saddam had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 or Al-Quaeda and I have proof. Saddam Hussein had this giant painting (below) commissioned for the Bagdhad Airport with jetplanes crashing into twin towers. The caption reads "I didn't do this" in Arabic. Don't believe people that say it reads "The Sir, The Respected President, Combat Leader, Saddam Hussein." What do they know?

I respectfully suggest that you grow the hell up.

With all due respect, actually more respect than you deserve, sod off.

Why don't you stop the rhetoric and see the facts for what they are. THAT is what's getting troops killed....partisan bullshit rhetoric.

The enemy is looking to win the political battle and the tactics the left uses materially support the enemy. They act in concert. If the casualty count wasn't a drumbeat, it would not be worth it for the enemy to kill the next troop. Those people have blood on their hands too.

Good Morning Zoom.

Glad to see someone else up and operating this early.

With the Rally in D.C. this Saturday Olney will be held down with a skeleton crew, and no Rapid Transformation Force. But we'll be back in force the next week.

When you coming back to town again?

Take care

Sorry for the tardy reply 1-Eagle. LOL - I got caught up in a traffic tie-up of my own this week and haven't been on line much lately.

Hope you can park that rig and hitch a ride with someone to WR someday. It really is a great experience.

Keep On Truckin' Travel safe.
