Pelosi blocking vote on offshore oil drilling: Good, stand tough for environment Bad, oil supplies needed One more sign this isn't really a democracy

July 25, 2008, Soldiers and Visitors Drop ByA mid-summer’s Friday evening, not too hot, but a little humid. Traffic seemed not as heavy as normal due to vacations. Our group was enthusiastic and the passers-by honked their support throughout the evening. The moonbats did whatever they always do, generally be obnoxious. (More about this later). We have identified one moonbat as a paid traveling loser. He travels with his suitcase and catches the Greyhound on Georgia Ave to the next paid protest. We were joined by Danny, her sister Mandie and Danny’s three children. They are from Alaska and moving...

It's blazing hot in Washington DC this time of year while the sun is still up, but the sun certainly does make our MOAB look good. The soldier works at WR and was going home and stopped to talk and say Thank You. Of course, we profusely thanked him in return. Having done this for almost three years myself, I've spoken with many of the troops and one thing that's always struck me is that they want to thank us - while our intention is to thank them.

She was able to join us on a fairly regular basis last summer. A few weeks ago she did a little recon and saw that we were still out here keeping Code Pink pushed down the street away from the gate. So she sent out an email to all her associates and friends at Heritage and asked if anyone wanted to join her at Walter Reed on the 11th. We were fortunate that she...

Do you agree with the U.S. Supreme Court's handgun ban decision?

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of terrorists to get access to our courts, illegal aliens can stay even when they agree to leave, and ruled in favor of child rapists. Based on this I wouldn't put it passed them to rule against law abiding gun owners if they ruled against an 8 year old rape victim!!

A few weeks ago we had a series of very powerful thunderstorms that sent trees tumbling all around the region. One was on the easement by the street just by where we put up the MOAB, and in typical Washington DC fashion the government hasn't gotten around to doing anything about it.

However, tonight was a nice evening so we got the MOAB up no problem, and soon the flags were flying behind it Honor Role of Attendees Your author Tom the Redhunter,...
