FReep for PVT William Long

My friends at Free Republic’s DC contingent were at the White House last Saturday bringing attention to the disparity in the reactions to the murder of the abortion doctor Tiller and Private William Long. From their after action review it sounds like they made some head way;

The freep began uneventfully with our receiving a few thumbs up here and there. A group of high school age students attending the 10th Challenge, a leadership institute, asked us for details and for us to take their pictures taken holding the signs.

An older white gentleman approached saying he didn’t understand our message. When we explained, he changed the subject or brought up irrelevant points about Blackwater and Haliburton making lots of money on the war. As the gentleman walked away and approached his wife; BufordP’s niece, who was sitting along the fence at the time, overhead him say to his wife that we had made a lot of good points.

A young man with video equipment asked to interview us. When asked why we objected to President Obama’s response to both shootings, BufordP replied that the President and Attorney General quickly dispatched federal marshals to protect private abortion clinics yet, as Commander-in-Chief, failed to protect the recruiting stations. I added that recruiters, possibly contrary to what the public might assume, are not armed while performing recruiting duty. The interviewer then asked Buford and me if we “were racists.”

Yeah, that must be the only way they’d dare to stand up the president – if they were racists. Stupid media.

I wish I could have been there, guys, a few more weeks and I’ll be out of this stupid cast.

Here’s a reminder that the DC Chapter of Free Republic stands alone every Friday night at Walter Reed to welcome the wounded troops home from the war. Since you don’t donate to me (or click the Google ads, or shop at Amazon) maybe you can see your way clear to donate to the FReepers at their website. Every little bit helps them continue doing what they do for the troops because you can’t be there.
