Whenever I was standing on the line, holding my sign (which read Blind Faith in Bad Leadership is Not Patriotism on one side, and I Support Keeping the Troops Alive! on the other), I would catch some Pro-Bushers reading it (or at least trying to), and they would give me the death stare.
So I'd smile, and wave.
What I loved to do was find someone new, who hadn't seen either of my signs, then show them the side that said I Support Keeping the Troops Alive, they would read it, and smile or nod in agreement. Then I flipped it over, and Insta-Death Stare!!
Oh and not to brag or anything, but if anyone was down there this last week and noticed that the Bush Supporters across from the 1st campsite and their little tent had a Camp Reality sign across the trim, well I indirectly named it.
Last week I was down there, and I was staring across the line at this girl who couldn't have been more than 16-17. She was holding a sign that said her father was in Iraq, and she supported him and the president. She didn't like my sign it seemed, and she would give me the Death Stare whenever our eyes happened to catch each other. I sat down and wrote I Support Keeping the Troops Alive on the other side, and showed it to her. She got this weird look on her face, and went under the tent. A couple minutes later she emerged with a small sign with black letters that said Camp Reality. So lo and behold, a week later I get back down there, and there it is on a bigger sign in red lettering on the trim proudly proclaiming Camp Reality.
Of course the reality is we are the ones trying to get her father out of that warzone, but what's life without a little irony?
