Great name. We should have a battle flag.

An ancient and honorable title. Ave, fellow Legionnaires!

These days I wonder what dirty tricks might have been played on Richard Nixon as well.

Nixon was misled about the color of the background (for the debates), which is why he wore that gray suit while JFK (original recipe, not the 2004 crispy style) wore a dark blue suit, which looked 1000% better on the B&W TV of that era. It's been a few years but I remember a very candid MSM type saying that Nixon was purposely misled because they didn't want him to win.

We're actually much larger than just one legion (just over 5,300 including officers.) We're more like the whole Roman army!

I DID NOT need to know that!

Legions carried standards. I suggest the "eagle" for the FReeper Legion:

http://www.roman-empire.net/army/leg-standards.html

It was the eagle standard which bore the famous Roman abbreviation SPQR. The letters stand for senatus populusque romanus which means ‘the senate and the people of Rome’. Hence this standard represented the will of the Roman people and stated that the soldiers acted on their behalf..."

I love this cartoon!

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

With the Cross of St. George, thirteen stars encircled in the blue field commemorating the original constitutionalist mission, and the N.H. motto "Live Free or Die."

[Conservative4Ever]

McCarthy was right.

Red

Legions carried standards. I suggest the "eagle" for the FReeper Legion: No, No! A moose in full battle regalia!
