Union Workers Compelled to Protest Army hospital October 22nd, 2007 by Warner Todd Huston The folks over at FreeRepublic have reported that at one of their pro-troops vigils in front of Walter Reed Army Hospital, a union member told them that he was ordered by his union to attend the nearby anti-war protest. WASHINGTON, DC, September 28, 2007— The DC Chapter has suspected all along that the dwindling handful of anti-war protestors outside Walter Reed are paid to show up. This week, one of their newbies came by our troop-support rally at the gates by mistake, and spilled the...

WASHINGTON, D.C. - On Saturday, Drexel Hill resident Bob Spano woke up at 3:30 a.m. and donned his bright red Marine Corp League jacket and hat. Braving the ice, slush and snow left from Friday's storm, Spano joined 80 other Delaware County veterans early Saturday on a bus heading to bitterly cold Washington, D.C. On the Mall in the Capitol that day, anti-war protesters planned to have a rally coinciding with the fourth anniversary of the conflict in Iraq. But Spano and his colleagues were heading to the Mall for a different purpose: for what they called a "Gathering of...

As college students hit campuses across the nation this week, a new generation of young veterans will step off the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan and onto the ideological battlefield of our university campuses. For those on the frontline in the war on terror, the antiwar hostility of liberal professors and campus activists will assuredly prove unsettling. Just ask Marine sergeant Marco Martinez, a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom...

Brutal terrorists are no nationalists By FRANCIS BROADHURST Many of us have patiently waited for the left-wing, anti-Bush, anti-war protest professionals to get a grip on themselves and come to their senses. It hasn't happened. Instead, our Ivory tower utopians have become more vicious and negative. Nationally known lefties and their local ''amen'' choirs have unleashed one of the nastiest campaigns in history to discredit those who disagree with them about the war, terrorists, the fight to restore sanity to the U.S. Supreme Court, and other issues. Militant left-wing zealots are easy to spot. Despite pious protestations to the contrary,...

On Hannity and Colmes tonight, Alan Colmes, again, tried to make the point that the anti-war protestors somehow 'shortened the Vietnam war'. I had always understood that NorthVietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap had written in his 1985 memoir that, because the 1968 Tet Offensive had been such a disaster for the VietCong, he was ready to sue for peace and end the war. However, because the anti-war demonstrations were truly getting massive in the US at that point, it gave Hanoi just enough hope that if he continued fighting, Hanoi would eventually win [with the help of the anti-US/pro-Hanoi demonstrations,...

Over a hundred and fifty years ago Benicia, California, a sleepy little community in the North Bay area near San Francisco, had its 18 months of fame as the state capitol. Today, the town is known more for its antique stores and artistic community, then it is for its political activism. However, since shortly after the Iraq War started a small, but persistent group of the Anti War Crowd (AWC) have ‘occupied’ the downtown city park each Thursday evening. Well, actually, it is not the whole park, but instead it is the prime corner of the park, directly across the...

<p>An open letter to some political partisans, especially certain politicians and people in the media: I have a son who is an American soldier in Iraq.</p> <p>I care very much about what affects him and his comrades in arms.</p> <p>I am not fooled, when you partisans spew propaganda that helps our enemies and harms our soldiers, then tell us you support our troops.</p>

Hi how are you I’m fine let’s get to the meat, the discussion of the weekend anti-war rallies. Or, if you dislike these things: matchbook 102! Imagine if you woke from an operation and discovered that your tumor was gone. You’d think: I suppose that’s a good thing. But. You learned that the hospital might profit from the operation. You learned that the doctor who made the diagnosis had decided to ignore all the other doctors who believed the tumor could be discouraged if everyone protested the tumor in the strongest possible terms, and urged the tumor to relent....

Activists converge in CrawfordAnti-war demonstration mixes talk of peace with election-year politics09:04 PM CST on Saturday, March 20, 2004By PAUL MEYER / The Dallas Morning News CRAWFORD – Hundreds of peace activists from across Texas converged Saturday on the Western White House, calling for a pullout of U.S. troops on the first anniversary of hostilities in Iraq. Protesters came by the dozens from Dallas, Houston, Austin and other cities to make their voices heard in the farming town of 705 residents, about seven miles from the president's 1,600-acre ranch. About 250 similar demonstrations took place around the country, and hundreds...

Sit-in Sentences Soon for UC TrioBy JAKOB SCHILLER (10-31-03) Following a heated five-hour sentencing hearing Tuesday, three UC Berkeley students—Michael Smith, Snehal Shingavi and Rachel Odes—are waiting to learn what, if any, punishments the university will mandate for their actions during a March 23 campus anti-war protest. After hearing proposed punishments from campus Judicial Officer Neal Rajmaira and a spirited defense from the students, a panel of professors, staff and students has one week to draw up a letter spelling out its own recommendations to Dean of Students Karen Kenney. Once the recommendations are submitted, the students will be able...

<p>WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- The largest anti-war rally in the nation's capital since President Bush announced the end of major combat operations in Iraq was greeted by an equally boisterous, if not as large numerically, group of the president's policy supporters.</p>

Activists Convicted of Campus Code ViolationsStudent Protesters Declare Hearing ‘Witch Hunt,’ Storm Out By SHAUNA SWEENEYContributing WriterWednesday, October 15, 2003 After abruptly walking out of their own hearing yesterday, three prominent student activists arrested in an anti-war protest last spring were found guilty of violating university code by a campus committee. Michael Smith, Rachel Odes and Snehal Shingavi, all active members of the Berkeley Stop the War Coalition, were found guilty of disturbing the peace and failing to comply with an official. Smith was also convicted for restricting and resisting a university official. However, the three students were cleared of two...

George W. Bush will be at a fundraiser Friday June 20 in Greensboro, GA. When he makes his way from the airport, Bush supporters will be meeting at the Greene County high school on Hwy 44 to show encouragement. At the McDonalds (I thought they hated those big corporations) at I-20, there will be a group of anti-war(?) protestors, according to the sheriff.I think a freep is needed.Anyone game?

Last Thursday, the New York Post ran a piece of mine in which I compared the antiwar movement to a religious cult "hoist on tenets of faith rather than points of evidence — and, thus, in the final analysis, no more responsive to counterarguments than guys who stand on street corners in sandwich boards forecasting the end of the world next weekend . . . no, next weekend . . . no, next weekend." It was, I thought, a clever little piece, and I knew it would get under the skin of protester types — which usually means a dozen...

PEOPLE HAVE a right to say or write that anti-war protesters should be silent or leave the country. But people who write or say such things are cowards - indeed, the only cowardly Americans to be found these days. There are three ways of thinking about protest: legal, political and social. The legal considerations weigh the risk of speech against the right to speech. The famous rule is that of Justice Holmes: free speech protections do not extend to those who shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater. The cowards try to draw an analogy between this consideration and our national...

Congressman Elton Gallegly Statement on Criminal Acts by Professional Agitators In Thousand Oaks District Office WASHINGTON, D.C.—On April 1, 2003, a group of professional agitators came to my district office in Thousand Oaks, California, for the stated purpose of disrupting congressional business. District Chief of Staff Brian Miller and Office Manager Paula Sheil did everything possible to accommodate them, even after they forced their way through closed doors and entered the inner office with the stated intention of making it impossible for us to serve my constituents. For six and a half hours, Brian, Paula and the rest of my...
