Freep-holes plan "a patriotic, flag waving rally" (Crawford this Saturday)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1461571/posts

The Heart of Texas Chapter of Free Republic invites all patriots who support President Bush, our troops and their mission fighting the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, to join us in Crawford, Texas this Saturday at noon for a patriotic, flag waving rally. All who attend are encouraged to bring American, Texas and service flags, large and small, as well as signs bearing messages of support for our troops, their commander-in-chief and their mission in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The radio stations that were planning to hold a rally on Saturday have canceled due to outside pressure. Therefore there will be no free food or soda available like they were going to provide. So please bring your own snacks and plenty of water or other non-alcoholic beverages. Please note: This rally is NOT about Cindy Sheehan. Do not bring any signs that mention her at all. Being that Crawford is a bit hot these days, we encourage everyone attending to be on their best behavior and not do or say anything to embarrass our troops and their families. That means no cussin' and no fightin'. Seriously. If you don't think you can behave yourself, do everyone (including the Crawford police) a favor and stay home. We are waiting to hear from the Crawford police about where we can hold a permitted rally. We have been told it will be allowed, we just need to know where exactly in Crawford that will be. We will make an announcement as soon as the location is nailed down. In the meantime, please copy and pass this announcement along to your families, friends and e-mail lists if you think they'll want to stand up for our country on Saturday. Our troops need to hear from us loud and clear that we support them and their mission. See you in Crawford!

19. Is it one of these Roosevelt quotes?
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official...

~Theodore Roosevelt

That we are to stand by the president, right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

~Theodore Roosevelt

These are 2 of my faves.

11. Local recruiters would be wise to go work their magic
on these patridiotic folks.

They should get at least 60% of them signed up. After all, their president calls, duty calls.

17. That's what I was thinking...
Load the Freeps up on buses headed to the Enlistment Camp. Let's see who really "loves" their country...

6. Why would the Texas Guard go through that much trouble for about 6 people?
Remember the average turnout of a Freepapalooza....

9. The thread is in the "Cindy Sheehan" section of the web site!
Their "hot topics" (links at the top of the main page) are defined as:

SCOTUS
Eminent Domain
Oil-for-Food
London Attacked
CIA Leak (Rove/Plame)
Saddam Trial
Air America
Cindy Sheehan
Atta (Clinton Admin failure)

...so it's "not about Cindy Sheehan," it was posted in the Cindy Sheehan section by a REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.

:silly:

4. Here's what will happen
A handful of hungover, young, white males will show up Saturday morning after a 12-hour drive - and realize that they have forgotten to pack their flags.

8. they support the troops being killed for wmd's.
what?, you say there are no wmd's -- then freepshits -- the troops die for nothing.

no honour, no glory and they die NOT defending the united states of america -- you all should be so proud.

10. Wrapping themselves up in the Flag, once again.....
Edited on Thu Aug-11-05 06:52 PM by FrenchieCat
An example of a symbol misused!

Just a bunch of

Maybe somebody can make a GREAT BIG BANNER WITH THIS PHOTO OF THESE FLAGS ON IT!

And hold it up in asshole territory!




Should Cindy Sheehan wave her flag? I mean she does have one! She might have to iron it out...since it looks something like this!

13. What do these people get out of this?
The rank and file republicans don't benefit from any of his policies. Is it just a sick satisfaction in hating on tree-huggers and hippies? (you realize they think we are all hippies or tree-huggers)

16. Their guy is "right"
THIS substance abusing Oedipal MOTHERF**KER is "right"...that's what they get out of it.



Doesn't MATTER how many people die. Doesn't MATTER how many people suffer.

THIS MOTHERF**KER is "right" in their eyes.

He holds out his DICK, and it's bigger than all of the other dicks in the room, and the guys with the smaller dicks cower and back down (some of them Democrats...RIGHT, Biden? RIGHT, FEINSTEIN? Right, Joe-mentum?)...and the freeper assholes go home happy.

THAT is what they get out of this. They're measuring their pricks.
