I appreciate the efforts of *all* of you, and everyone who engages in grassroots action like this. We need it!

[Mudboy Slim]

Damned Yankees Stole Giambi from us...I am officially in mourning and shall not FReep again...until later.

Giambi even shaved his goatee...what a woooossie SELL-OUT!!

Yeah, NY deserves the PUNK...MUD

[ChaseR]

Big Bump

[ELS]

In past years they met in Davos, Switzerland, but massive demonstrations forced a change in venue. This year they'll be meeting at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in mid-town Manhattan.

What does this mean? Davos can't handle "massive" demonstrations, but NYC can?

The World Economic Forum will celebrate war in Afghanistan and the Middle East, attacks on civil liberties, and corporate tax cuts.

Yeah, right. How can they say stuff like this with a straight face? Sheesh.

Count me in for 02/02/02. I'm sure if we start planning now, we can get a good turnout.

[Neets]

KLT, sorry I wasn't able to join you. You ALL do us PROUD against this ANTI-AMERICAN group.

APPLAUSE TO THE THREE OF YOU

[RaceBannon]

OUTSTANDING!!!!

[Angelwood]

Great freep, everyone! Old Glory unfurled in the midst of the enemy (because if they aren't with the US, they're with the terrorists) must have caused palpitations and extreme allergic reactions to such a patriotic symbol. Thanks.

[nutmeg]

Wow, that took guts to infiltrate the enemy camp... EXCELLENT work, NYC FReepers!

[nutmeg]

Thanks for the ping, BTW. Great work! :-)

[JulieRNR21]

Fantastic FREEP of the lefties!

........

[Dan from Michigan]

Raising my bottle to you from here in Michigan. It's a good thing I wasn't there....I probably would have decked or kicked in the nuts whoever laid a hand on me.

Great work.

[VietVet]

We need to get a higher turn out than this before we physically take on these @#$%^&*'s. Three against 300 is poor odds.

Now if 30 of us had showed up....

OTOH, let us acknowlege that at least *some* of the people there were honorable opponents. Afterall, they did return the flag and the hat.

[Dan from Michigan]

I never said I would win the fight. That's why it was a good thing I wasn't there.

I keep waiting for something like that to happen in Lansing. If it does, I'll let all my union, conservative and gun rights friends and aquaintances know to crash the party.

I'm even tempted to crash a Chicago one sometime(If it's well planned). It's no worse than a drive to Mackinac.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

You got the hat and our flag back. There's hope for a couple of people that were in there. Otherwise you were in the middle of a bunch of commies. You're crazy!

[Landru]

WOW...you're something else, Karen.
First one who would've touched me would've been handed back their arm from the elbow down, though.
Best reason in the world I shouldn't (& don't) attend these strange, cult-like Leftist things.

...you've got to be careful, Angel; that might've been a lot uglier than it was.

[hellinahandcart]

You didn't chase me away; I was, uh, sleeping it off last night.

Thanks for the lovely words :-)

[hellinahandcart]

#31: Oy...they're coming here? Whose bright idea was it to bring this forum and its accompanying pestilential horde to the Waldorf? We need massive street demonstrations here almost as much as we need another terrorist attack. Yes, I foresee big trouble. And violence.

The corporate agenda wasn't welcome in Davos, and it's not welcome in New York City.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

[hellinahandcart]

Good morning, my dear--so glad you made it home okay. We must do this again sometime. Just not in person at the IAC; I am quite positive we'd all be recognized. ;-)

[VaMarVet]

You got the hat and our flag back. There's hope for a couple of people that were in there. Otherwise you were in the middle of a bunch of commies. You're crazy

Not as crazy as a certain Irishman I know. They done good - albeit a small stand - but an important one - we will chip away at the left and keep them unbalanced (that should be easy;-). I guess the next step is to organize a cadre of FReepers willing to forgo bathing, shaving and other personal grooming standards. They will meet 24-7 a week before infiltration and learn by heart the commie anti-American mantras. Then at the appropiate moment pull out Old Glory. I can just imagine the response - "I'm melting, I'm melting". I guess the lady who returned the flag and the hat was a "good witch"... While they follow the "YELLOW brick road" - we march on in the name of freedom and all that is good about our country.

[sauropod]

Agree. Will see you tonight? We need to plan.
