Quakers - “NO flags in our cemetery on Memorial Day”: Wk 171, Olney, MD 04-25-09: Op. Infinite FReep

april 30,2009

[trooprally]

It’s a shame that Webster doesn’t define Quakers as a bunch of hypocrites.

I learned this week that whenever the Legionnaires put flags on the graves of soldiers in the local Quaker cemetery, that the flags are promptly removed. No word as to where they go. This year the Quakers, and a local Episcopal Church, has told the Legionnaires, NO FLAGS THIS YEAR.

This year, the Legionnaires will be adapting and overcoming the diversity. More after Memorial Weekend.

BELOW: I mentioned “hypocrites” again because the Quakers once again had American Flags attached to their banners. Since this is their second week displaying our beloved flag, I definitely will have to educate them to their hypocrites. But we got the wave out of the white cars sun roof.

Did I mention that the Quakers don’t realize that a strong military is what makes peace possible. BELOW: Quakers twisted around Cindy_True_Supporter’s “Peace through Strength” sign. Just like Obambi pretends the TEA Parties are a minor nuisance, Cindy’s sign apparently hit a raw nerve with the Quakers.

The 6 Patriots this Saturday included Lurker Bill and FReepers Cindy_True_Supporter, Fraxinus, GunsAreOkay, [Mts] Trooprally (aka [Mts] T) and myself.

The Legionnaires had their first Yard Sale for 2009 and they were all at it. The yard sale helps raise money so that they can send packages to our deployed soldiers and do what Legionnaires do best - SUPPORT OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS.

Pics are by [Mrs] T

BELOW LEFT: One of our favorite out-of-state FReepers - GunsAreOK. BELOW RIGHT: Close up of Lurker Bill who was in the back ground of Guns’ pic.

BELOW LEFT: Me and Fraxinus. Frax is one of our favorite local FReepers to stop by. BELOW RIGHT: Me and Cindy_True_Supporter. Cindy has a little over an hour drive to get home. After Walter Reed she stays at the Olney compound. Since Obambi’s “no taxes on 95%” doesn’t include smokers, I’ve had to cut back on my cigar smok’in, which has Frax and Cindy on our right flank, talking to me more.

[Mrs] T was camera ready for our passing supporters. The first set of pics look like the same SUV, but the occupants are different. Look at the cars waiting for the light. One pic has a red truck in it.

WARNING TO FREEPERS ATTENDING OLNEY

Some new money making SPEED CAMERAS have been installed on north bound Georgia Avenue right before you enter the main business district. Slow your speed after the light at King William Drive.

And a new one has been placed just south of Brookeville, between Brookeville and the Longwood Community Center.




REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney
NEW TIME - 10:15 AM to 11:45 AM

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.

But a lot of verbal engagement in Olney is always welcome.

RE: Olney FReep -

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 a FReeper FRiend for enhancing the original plain type directions.

D.C. Chapter Master Ping List

Our Episcopal Church displays an American flag in the sanctuary and at offertory after singing the doxology swings right into verse 4 of “My Country tis of thee.”

[TitansAFC]

Quakers, Anabaptists, Mennonites, Amish, Episcopals....................

All of them still see Patriotism as an affront to Christianity, and in direct competition with it. There's a reason they all gleefully elect Marxists at every turn and with every chance: they don't care if the country disappears tomorrow; and quite frankly, Christians would probably be all the better for it, you know....

One day the Liberals will start coming for the land in their agrarian communes, telling them what to grow and when - eventually, the government will just seize it because of what Liberals will see as “arable land shortages.”

Only then will they see what enabling evil people will do. Only then, when the very people they have passively and actively put into power turn their sights on what they hold dear, will they see their folly.

Despite their claims, it is not okay to try and create an atmosphere of Christian persecution in the name of getting down to “good old fashioned Biblical Christianity.” It is not okay to help destroy a Free Country and the claim it was “God's Will.” It is one thing to avoid military service in the name of pacifism, and another to call those who serve this country (essentially) heretics for their valor.

[TitansAFC]

My FRiend,

That is very rare in your denomination these days......

[Abby4116]

The Amish in Pennsylvania made a political statement in 2004 when they announced they were urging their members to vote en masse for George Bush. Since Lancaster County has historically been a republican county in PA, I doubt that the Mennonites, Amish, Anabaptists vote for the Marxists.

They served their 2 years in public service as an alternative to military service back in the days of the draft.

[getarope]

Must be something in the oats.

[elpadre]

it may be a regionally, for, to the best of my knowledge, churches throughout the South display the American flag along with the church flag..

[AnAmericanMother]

Yep, our Catholic church displays the Stars and Stripes to the right of the altar, and the Papal flag to the left.

I think the flag of the archdiocese is on one of the steps to the left as well, but I'm not sure.

By the time we left the Episcopal parish we used to attend (in 2003) I don't think they displayed the flag any more after they remodeled the sanctuary.

But WAY back, when I was a kid, the flag was carried in the processional.

[trooprally]

Then be thankful that your church appreciates this Country. I’m grateful that they do.

I’m surprised that this church is not allowing flags. They are a big supporter of a real good Scout troop. They also allow the Lions and Knights of Columbus to have a pancake fund raiser at their facility.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Agreed - Thanks for the post.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

ROTFLOL - your statement reminds me of when Doctor Raoul was able to make our Olney FReep. He had this 10” bull horn that he berated the Quakers, and “oats” was one of his lines.

[Mr] T

[BufordP]

Almost blew snot out my nose when I saw the “Strength through peace” sign.

[3D-JOY]

YUK! You sure have a way with words.

I responded with a near spitting of a gulp of tea on the keyboard though!

Trooprally and Mrs., Thanks for always being there representing all of us!

Nice to see “Guns” joined you this week when the others had another event to attend.

[WVNan]

Nice to see the “Leggs” on display again. Sure beats the heck out of the blowing snow doesn’t it? “Strength through peace?” Duh...idiots.

[LUV W]

The hubcaps are different on those two SUVs...just an
observation. :D

Y’all keep up the good work. I hope to join you again some
day. The time I did (at Walter Reed), it was a wonderful experience, showing
our troops that we love them.

[trooprally]

Their sign actually means “Submission thru Peace”.

Hey, will you be at the Olney Compound today?

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Got to keep these AARs interesting. Like Walter Reed, we have pretty much seen everything. It’s the little things that make a good AAR.Of course the clueless morons help.

Time for your DC trip is getting closer. Can’t wait.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Seems like the FReeper response to the moonbats’ new sign are unanimous, they are idiots.

Rain predicted for this Saturday so Leggs might be a no show.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Just let us know, always a good time when you are there.

Also, your eyes are better than mine. Must be the cigars that I am smoking. Wasn’t there a song about smoke in my eyes?

[Mr] T

[LUV W]

LOL! I don’t even know how I noticed. But I have always loved those kids’ games where there are six (or so) objects and you find the two that are alike!

I will definitely let you all know when I can be there. It was a wonderful time, though it was rainy! I had my picture taken with Michelle Malkin...not a bad deal! :D

The Quakers are a social disease.

Back during the American Revolution, the Quakers refused to sell food to the American troops, but gladly sold it to the Brits because the value of British currency was much better.

The Quakers kicked out people like Nathaniel Greene from their communities because they fought for their Country.

Today, the Quakers are outspoken critics against any war the U.S. enters.

Like the fat, well-fed parasites they are, these hoplophobes sit ensconced in the heartland of America, enjoying the freedom and prosperity other Americans have fought and died for, and they have the audacity to criticize them for it.

I have as little use for Quakers as for Muslims. But I wouldn't put the Amish, Episcopalians, etc, into the same category as these parasitic leeches.

[happygrl]

I doubt that the Mennonites, Amish, Anabaptists vote for the Marxists.

Perhaps not the agrarian Mennonites and Anabaptists, but I can assure you that the urban Mennonites and Anabaptists, of which there are many, voted for 0bama, the Marxist.

[happygrl]

I have as little use for Quakers as for Muslims.

Quakers and Muslims are both very influential in the culture of Philadelphia. Both are very anti-American. That tells you a lot, doesn't it ?

But I wouldn't put the Amish, Episcopalians, etc, into the same category as these parasitic leeches.

Nor would I.

[trooprally]

They protest any war that we are in but don't protest other Countries. When Russia went into Georgia we put up, on their corner, "Russia, Hands Off Georgia" Check out our Olney FReep - Moonbats Support Georgia, Diss Socialist Russia But to then benefit of a lot of Quakers JUST in the Olney area, some I know, the "extremists" can only muster about 10 in a very high profile Quaker community a couple of miles from Olney. They have a school, meeting house and retirement facility and can't get any more than their 10. They have even asked for more to come out but to no avail. But I agree, in general the Quakers are parasites. They are really active in Baltimore and surrounding areas.

[BobS]

I met with the Amish folks somewhere between Reading and Lebanon, PA. They welcome us as visitors. They are self-sufficient in everything. They are just too docile.

The Basque people in the Pyrennese mountains between Spain and France stopped being docile 35 years ago. They formed ETA which set off bombs in Madrid with a 15 minute notice where the bomb exactly is so nobody died. So the Basques end up owning and running every ski slope in the mountains, and most of the big farms and ranches on the bottom of the mountains in the alluvial plains. Now they create food for two countries.

[M. Espinola]

No flags, no country.

[Nowhere Man]

The Amish in Pennsylvania made a political statement in 2004 when they announced they were urging their members to vote en masse for George Bush. Since Lancaster County has historically been a republican county in PA, I doubt that the Mennonites, Amish, Anabaptists vote for the Marxists.

They served their 2 years in public service as an alternative to military service back in the days of the draft.

Those folks walk the walk, I don't have any trouble with their pacifism although I do admit, they benefit from the protection our society gives them and they truly deserve it. Most other pacifists I do find them to be a bit hypocritical as well as being moonbats. The Amish and their relations are the true exceptions and are really good people who don't bother anyone nor tdo they want to foist their system on us unlike others.

The principles of Quakerism have a direct tendency to make a man the quiet and inoffensive subject of any, and every government which is set over him. And if the setting up and putting down of kings and governments is God's peculiar prerogative, he most certainly will not be robbed thereof by us; wherefore, the principle itself leads you to approve of every thing, which ever happened, or may happen to kings as being his work. Oliver Cromwell thanks you. Charles, then, died not by the hands of man; and should the present proud imitator of him, come to the same untimely end, the writers and publishers of the Testimony, are bound by the doctrine it contains, to applaud the fact. Kings are not taken away by miracles, neither are changes in governments brought about by any other means than such as are common and human; and such as we are now using. Even the dispersing of the Jews, though foretold by our Savior, was effected by arms. Wherefore, as ye refuse to be the means on one side, ye ought not to be meddlers on the other; but to wait the issue in silence; and unless you can produce divine authority, to prove, that the Almighty who hath created and placed this new world, at the greatest distance it could possibly stand, east and west, from every part of the old, doth, nevertheless, disapprove of its being independent of the corrupt and abandoned court of Britain; unless I say, ye can show this, how can ye, on the ground of your principles, justify the exciting and stirring up of the people "firmly to unite in the abhorrence of all such writings, and measures, as evidence a desire and design to break off the happy connection we have hitherto enjoyed, with the kingdom of Great Britain, and our just and necessary subordination to the king, and those who are lawfully placed in authority under him." What a slap in the face is here! the men, who, in the very paragraph before, have quietly and passively resigned up the ordering, altering, and disposal of kings and governments, into the hands of God, are now recalling their principles, and putting in for a share of the business. Is it possible, that the conclusion, which is here justly quoted, can any ways follow from the doctrine laid down? The inconsistency is too glaring not to be seen; the absurdity too great not to be laughed at; and such as could only have been made by those, whose understandings were darkened by the narrow and crabby spirit of a despairing political party; for ye are not to be considered as the whole body of the Quakers but only as a factional and fractional part thereof.

From Thomas Paine's Common Sense, the Espistle to Quakers.

[trooprally]

No Country, but they sure like the free living the have here.

[trooprally]

Thanks for the info. You saved me time looking it up.

[Mr] T

[M. Espinola]

That’s for sure!

[Charlespg]

Wherefore, this epistle is not so properly addressed to you as a religious, but as a political body, dabbling in matters, which the professed quietude of your Principles instruct you not to meddle with.

[trooprally]

Thank you also for the info.

[markomalley]

Anybody ever put up a sign reminding these folks that Nixon was a Quaker? source

[JoJo Gunn]

One can only wonder if this old fool has any idea what A.N.S.W.E.R. is. 

 

[trooprally]

Yep, he was one. And No, we haven’t. Not sure how much good it will do with this group. Over the years though we’ve had two other groups that supported the moonbats, disappear.

Not sure if its just my computer but on your link, I’m getting Nationwide ads popping up when I click on most of the links.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Nope, they’ve drank the koolaid and just don’t care.

[Mr] T

[markomalley]

Not sure if its just my computer but on your link, I’m getting Nationwide ads popping up when I click on most of the links.

I have my hosts file modified, so I don't get the vast majority of popups or banner ads. Sorry if you were inflicted with popups from that link (it was just a link of the religious affiliations of the US presidents).

[trooprally]

Thanks for the Hosts info. I’ll have my computer wiz check it out when he comes in.

[longtermmemmory]

they are happy to reduce christianity as a mere opiate of the masses.
