Oklahoma Freeway Blogger Strikes

[Mortos]

A very nice lady called me last week and asked me to help her strike a blow for freedom in the conservative buckle of the Republican truss here in Oklahoma. She was, she said, tired of the conservative dominance in this state and was going to do something about it.

She asked for my help. I wimped out.

She did it anyway and man, what a statement she made.

She posted her signs, by herself, along the I-35 corridor that leads to the annual bacchanalia of Oklahoma football...The OU-Texas game.

This brave lady went into the heart of the enemy territory and struck a blow for freedom and democracy.

Here are some pictures she sent me.



She has inspired me to do the same.

If this self described grey haired lady can do this, why can't we all?

If you aren't actively fighting the administration we are forced to endure, you are helping them. You are either with us, or with them.

Take action. Do something. Learn how. Go here.

1. Good for her.....

She was a busy woman. LMAO.

[crispini]

2. Wow.

I've been thinking about doing this for a while. Brava! Alrighty, I'll go ahead and get off my ass and do this.

[Mortos]

3. She is my new hero

Good job. You are doing something to make a change. You are a freedom fighter.

4. Standing and applauding in Portland OR

Brava, my good woman, bravissima!

[juslikagrzly]

5. Thank God for this woman!

Gives us a bit of hope here in fundie/freeper land!

The only issue I have with her is, as an OSU fan, I cannot bring myself to root for the gooners :)

[Mortos]

6. That is not enough positive comments

for this brave lady. I want some DU feedback. Show her your love.

[salin]

7. Outstanding!

Going to guess she may have gotten more than a few discussions going in the cars on the way to the game... even in deep red country (like my own Indiana) it is not solidly red.. and discussions is what changes apathetic folks into informed folks who might actually vote...

10. Outstanding work and keep it up. We need to adopt us a few Highway miles

Want to set a date and Get out The Signs? By the way LMFAO :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

9. Awesome Dude!

I can't believe seeing those signs in Oklahoma..all the Energy and Determination that went into them. :yourock:

Who is the person that wimped out when she asked for help?

[Mortos]

12. I am that person.

She asked, I waffled, she did it anyway. She is reading this post so if there is anything you want to tell her, go ahead. If you would like to call me names for my wimpy-ness, feel free.

I guarantee her courage has inspired me to do the same. My machismo is at stake here.

[Cha]

16. I thought it might be but I wasn't sure...

So you are the conservativefighter.com and she is the freewayblogger?
And you're in Oklahoma, too?

Forgive my obtuseness but I'd really like to know..and no I don't want to call you a wimp..But she sure has a lot of Strength, eh?

:toast: to the Big Fat Truthful Signs on the Oklahoma roads! :kick:

11. Bravo!!!

Love it!!!

[txindy]

13. Busy and very, very brave in OK!

Kudos!! And a big THANK YOU!! :toast: :toast: :toast:

14. The lady has nads

It doesn't take much money to do this, go to thrift shops buy sheets, hardware for paint and start decorating hyways. I've got overpasses nearby that are begging for decoration, I wouldn't be surprised if someone hung some signs in the night.

[Mortos]

15. Actually she just used cardboard

and painted it white. She made transparancies and projected them onto the cardboard with an overhead projector (she borrowed free from the library) outlined them and them filled in the outlines with paint. She did one hell of a job (Bush could have never colored in the lines). For info about how to do it yourself, go to:

17. AWESOME!

Those are great signs too... giving me lots of ideas.

[ljm2002]

18. WOW!!!

(standing, applauding)

Outstanding, and gutsy! And every one of those signs makes its point well. I'll bet there were a few conversations -- not to mention a few frosty silences -- due to reading those signs on the way to the game!

[American liberal]

19. way to go, freewayblogger!!!

Beautiful signs, poignant messages! I would love to hear what a bunch of drunken freepers sound like after reading those on their way to the bar from the football game! Yeehaw!!! You go, girl! :hi: :)

No more grey haired lady. I have been informed from the Oklahoma Freeway blogger that she would like to be referred as:

The Free Speech Commando.

-Nothing Follows-

[missouri dem]

23. God bless the Free Speech Commando

That is like a stake in the heart of the beast.
I wonder how long the signs lasted?

[Mortos]

27. As of yesterday

most were still up.

[amazona]

22. WOW!!!!

I hope it's OK to use some of these -- "Purple Heart vs. Purple Nose" is new to me but a good one!

[melv]

[wellstone_democrat]

Good for you lady---it gives those of us in Texas hope. Smart lines! Brilliant placement and I thank you, my husband does and I'm going out tonight to place a couple myself on the route to "his majesty's hometown" (no, not New Haven CT....Midland, TX)

Thank you.

You are an inspiration! Thank you for having the courage to spread this message in Oklahoma, where God knows it's needed so badly.

[LiberalAndProud]

29. Open letter to Grey-haired-lady

Dear Person of Bravery and Conscience:

You are an inspiration to the faint of heart.

Three cheers and then three more!

HIP-HIP-HOORAY!
