Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
San Diego Protest Warrior commenced it's summer operations with our first Victory Vigil on Saturday July 2nd.
There were quite a few new faces there that day and of course the regulars.
The one difference between this op and our other ones is that we weren't directly countering any anti-war protesters. This time around, we were just thanking the troops and handing out small flags and 'Support the Troops' braclets. No silencing dissenting voices here.
We were downtown and situated at 10th and 'C' Streets - prime real estate for catching people as they went to PetCo Park to watch the Padres.
I honestly cannot tell you the intense satisfaction that I get from seeing people give us a 'thumbs up' or pumping their fists in the air while leaning hard on their horns - especially from the service members we saw. It is always worth the time and effort to see those faces smiling back at us.
If you have the opportunity, join your local Protest Warrior chapter and partcipate. Yeah, you'll get some barking moonbats that feel as though your stomping their puppy to death what with giving a differing opinion, but you'll get a lot more smiles, 'thumbs up's, and 'thank yous' than anything else.

This year at our fireworks there were people dressed up as Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty. I had no idea what to expect from them so I went to collect a flyer. They told me that my new baby really needed me to fill out the form and send it back, so that Arlen Specter (I did not vote for him) could help get rid of the Patriot Act which violates our Bill of Rights. *heavy sigh* I promised to read it, smiled and left. I handed it to my teenager to read and asked him what he thought. He just gave me a thumbs down. Perhaps I can send you a copy. :-)

I encountered someone similar at school this past spring. This guy was getting people to sign his petition to [somehow] get the Patriot Act repealed.
He point-blank asked me if I opposed the Patriot Act; I simply said 'No' and this guy went off like a Roman Candle.
As I turned and walked away, this clown was still ranting and calling me a 'Facist'.
You know you're hitting home when they call you a facist....;)
Kelli: do you still have that flyer? Or is it lining a bird cage somewhere....?

REVOKE all portions that deal with government interaction with (key word here) CITIZENS. REQUIRE court warrants for any type of intrusion into the lives of citizens. ALIENS, residents, and illegals get less protections

It was a pleasure to meet you and an honor to stand along side you at the Vigil. What a great time we had! Keep the faith and keep the flag standing proud.

You, know, Mad One, I know I'm an arrogant bastard, but I can't help thinking you're holding the USMC sign for a reason...
