A bunch of aging hippies from Farmington Peace Action have been holding a vigil at the Monument in Rochester for long time, long enough to agrivate the hell out of a few of us.
We met up under cloudy skies at Big Heads Bar and Grill and proceeded to set up on Main Street across from the monument with flags and signs supporting our troops and their mission.
The first commie to show was the Ur hippy with a cane, white hair, shorts and sandles. The next was a scrawny guy with a correctly folded American Flag, looked like he was just out of drug rehab, then the local commie lawyer and a fat broad, probably his wife, wearing Dennis the K for Pres shirts showed along with a Faux Viet Vet.
Because this was a first FReep we didn't know the rules of engagement, how the cops would react was the main one, or for that matter how the commies would react. As it turned out it was mundaine, we took the thumbs up, honks, and a few liberal IQ signs.
One the problems I noticed was the commies had a large American Flag and a One World Flag, I don't think there was enough difference to, at a quick glance to tell the good guys from the bad, this will be corrected.
Yes There Will Be Photos.

Thanks for the ping, but I’m currently in NV for the next several weeks, otherwise....
I was under the impression that the commies had a permit, Masshole thinking.
In Boston where I learned the FReepin' trade, the hard way, you needed a permit to setup and use sound, $25, it seems that the permit covered counter protesters under the theory that if you protest you can be counter protested, no sound.
The Rochester cops kept an eye on things, I suspect that the commies dimed us, which I expected, Sparky saw some cell action. I talked to the Ur Hippy afterwords and he thanked us for not talking their corner opening up a lot of possibilities.
Thanks for the ping. One of the many advantages of living well north of the center of population gravity in NH is that we don’t have to put up with hermaphrodytes like you encounter down south. At least not as much. I think you have to go to Woodstock, Vermont to find that kind of freak show.
Hard to believe that the otherwise sensible hard working folks of Farmington would have such an organization. Sandwich maybe. Or Lyme or maybe Peterborough. But Farmington????
Listen, I remember when the hippies moved into Island Pond, Vt and started the destruction of a place I liked a lot, the only place North is Canukistan and I ain't moving there.
I always figured Farmington was a grubby-knuckled, dirt under the fingernails kind of a place. I did a New Year’s Eve program at a church there several years ago. Nice folks.
Didn’t realize it was populated with freaks although I do remember meeting one over on Meaderboro Road during the course of my job.
Who is this “Ur” fellow you speak of?
In archeology the UR find is the find that defines all subsequent finds after the Ur of Summer aria, the UR hippie is the original.
Not the United (gag) Christless Church. I think this one was a Pentacostal church. Friend of mine and his dad were pastoring it at the time. Not sure what the status is now. I’ve kinda lost track of them.
Do they have trouble spelling the word “PEACE”?
You guys keep me informed about this. I might just make a trip down there some day and join in the fun.
Live Free or Die. Good to see you in the streets. Cheaper than hauling your butt to DC. Well done!
It took awhile to get motivated, I don't think there has ever been a FReep in NH and people don't know what to expect. Great outdoor exercise, meet people and then talk politics.
bttt
Pace?
Is that City Councilor Bruce Lindsay on the far left of the photo? Krasner is such a commie.
Hopefully there won’t be many more of the Rochester FReeps for our troops sake.
With winter coming, dress warmly. That's if you all can get out on those snowy days. This past February, the FReepers at Walter Reed had to chip away 3" of frozen snow, then salt the sidewalk to safely FReep.

Yeah, my wife says it gets me out in the fresh air. Will look for you and the big guy on the 15th.
Hopefully we’ll have some candidates show up here one of these days. Unfortunately they all seem to hang around Portsmouth, Manchester, or Concord. I think Obama bussed in a few million moonbats to Conway over the summer. No wonder I haven’t been there in months...the smell must STILL be horrible....
