Howdy everyone!
Are you ready for a FReepathon!
Well, we're fresh back from two great patriotic rallies in Crawford, Texas and Washington, DC! And the good news is, I think we've stopped Cindy Sheehan and her would be antiwar movement dead in its tracks!!
Hoorah!!
Cindy Sheehan go home! The 60's are dead and gone and your 15 minutes of fame is up!!
Thank god!
Tens of thousands of communist inspired leftists descended on our nation's capital, but they left no lasting mark. I don't think the country is in the mood for putting up with the anti-American antics of aging hippies and drugged-out punk anarchists. There will be no massive Vietnam style antiwar movements. Not this time.
America and freedom itself were attacked by cutthroat terrorists on 911 and our people will not forget. Our all volunteer army has knocked out the Taliban and Saddam Hussein's evil fascist party and army. Millions of people have been liberated from murderous tyrants. Saddam Hussein himself is languishing in prison awaiting his date with justice and the hangman. Democracy has been established in the middle east and with our continuing help will flourish. It will take some time but the scourge of terrorism will eventually be wiped off the face of the planet for all time.
Thank God for President Bush and our armed forces!
Thank God for our wonderful men and women in uniform!
Thank you all very much!!
P.S. The back to back rallies have just about depleted our cash reserves and we have some tax payments coming due this month so I've set our target a little bit higher this time.
Tuesday,Tuesday....oh, never mind. ; )
lmao!
BUMPITY BUMP!

Got this in an e-mail tonight. I snoped' it, it appears to be the real deal. Maybe some have seen it before, I had not.
Anyway....
"The Marine" and all of the fine members of our Military.
This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad.
For those who take the time to read it, you'll see a letter from him to his Dad at the bottom. It makes you truly thankful for not only the Marines, but ALL of our troops.
THE MARINE
We all came together,
Both young and old
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.
In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around.
Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life,
So you can live the American way.
I give you the right
To talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
and protest in our streets.
But still I fight on,
I don't bitch, I don't whine.
I'm just one of the people
Who is doing your time.
I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I'm the immortal soldier,
I'm a U.S. MARINE!
So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.
Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you've won.
Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.
But when your time comes,
Do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You'll stand when the fight's done.

Hey Dad,
Do me a favor and label this "The Marine" and send it to
everybody on your email list. Even leave this letter in it. I want this rolling all over the US; I want every home reading it. Every eye seeing it. And every heart to feel it. So can you please send this for me? I would but my email time isn't th at long and I don't have
much time anyway. You know what Dad?I wondered what it would be like to truly understand what JFK said in His inaugural speech.
"When the time comes to lay down my life for my country,
I do not cower from this responsibility. I welcome it."
Well, now I know. And I do. Dad, I welcome the opportunity to do what I do. Even though I have left behind a beautiful wife, and I will miss the birth of our first born child, I would do it 70 times over to fight for the place that God has made for my home. I love you all and I miss you very much. I wish I could be there when Sandi has
our baby, but tell her that I love her, and Lord willing, I will be coming home soon. Give Mom a great big hug from me and give one to yourself too.
Aaron
If this touched you as much as it touched me, please forward it on.
