I have no tolerance for those who protest in front of our wounded heroes at Walter Reed. I initially asked if he ever wore his Death costume in front of WR. He replied that he’s never been to WR. I told him I have a picture of him protesting in front of WR (look at WR Freep #64 - he’s wearing his Indiana Jones hat with white T-shirt holding a blue sign).
At that point he gave up his argument about never protesting in front of WR and said he would wear his outfit anywhere, even in front of the White House. My emotions got the better of me and I kept berating him about how disgusting it is to protest in front of a military hospital. I asked him what happened during his childhood to make him such a social outcast...he replied that he joined the Army. I wonder if he served with Jesse McBeth.
I asked the Carrol County Progressives and Women in Black if they knew they were standing next to someone who would protest in front of wounded soldiers at a hospital. As expected, none of them cared. In fact, they probably look up to him for that.
On a good note, we had plenty of thumbs up and honks of support. Two different motorists stopped their cars, temporarily holding up traffic, and rolled down their windows to say thank you. One of the gentlemen said he had a relative currently serving and wanted to know how to get involved. I told him about both Free Republic and the Gathering of Eagles. I got a good laugh when the family walked across the street and said he was glad to be on our side. Another gentelmen made sure to shake all our hands and thank us for being present. There were several more encounters. The time goes by too fast (even with cold feet). The ladies from Westminster are doing a great job. Well done!!!!!!!
Pictures are worth a thousand denials. That is the maggot “Death” standing at WR. Very good eye.
[Mr] T
Thanks Olney-Keith for clarifying the conversation between you and Death. You have a good eye. That is him in the WR FReep #64. Always a pleasure to have you join us. The time does go by too fast, even with cold fingers and toes! This is the least we could do for our troops that are sacrificing so much more. We are trying to do a great job in Westminster. Because of FReepers like you, [Mr. T and Mrs. T], Lurker Bill, Buford P and a few others that join us when possible, we have been very successful in spreading the word to Support Our Troops! Thank you!
