I just received a phone call from Kristinn!!

The DC Chapter of Protest Warriors obtained a permit for Code Pink’s side of the street today after the Pinko’s forgot to renew their permit. The blood dancers tried to stick it out for about 20-25 minutes before they tucked tail and retreated a block away to the closed entrance. Freepers and Protest Warriors now have all four corners outside the main entrance to WRAMC!

[freema]

Yes, family.
And I am so grateful for it.

See the new addition to my tagline.

[bmwcyle]

I know my cause is just. These Freepers seem to be having so much fun. Why aren't I?

[freema]

They don't just make the enemy cry...
that's for sure.

To see one, flawless in those blues, not a hair out of place, looking totally unreal, while knowing what's wrapped up inside that red white and blue just leaves me breathless and leaves my knees weak.

Yet the ones camouflaged in civilian clothes, the ones I find on street corners-the ones who love so much the tears are a badge of honor-are the ones who really steal my heart.

[freema]

I'll tell you, Pinkie, why you're not happy. You didn't have a strategy for Victory nor did you have an exit strategy. You've got nothing, baby. All you could do was move on.

You can't see the pain you inflict on our troops?

Thank God the DCFReepers can.

You see that flag behind you, sweetheart? Here are a few words for you:

Lyrics to the SoUSA march were written by Charles Burr and go as follows:

"Semper fidelis" is a fabulous Latin motto
meaning that in centuries of Roman might the soldier swore that he would fight
For Caesar, never questioning if he might return
or if the enemy when they attack could be driven aback-- And that's what it means.
"We're ever faithful" is the general gist in countries that are Christian
Though it means almost the same we pledge no longer to the name
Of Caesar, but to principles of the land we know and love,
Bestowing the motto in war of our readiest corps--the mighty Marines.
Men are dutiful to things contradictory--
loving all that is beautiful--knowing battle and victory.
They expect our expressions benedictory,
and they find it perplexing and vexing and odd when we are shocked.
They've forgotten the old established verities,
seeking only for fame and gold, seeing only disparities.
Those who worship the one true God are rarities
who remember the Biblical saying that God will not be mocked!
When the call to the true believer comes from the Church of God
Will they all in their heart receive Him go where He bids them trod?
Will the men who appear deserving, who to their faith are true,
answer when they are called to serving, do what she bids them do?
For many men profess their loyalty to true democracy yet bow to mockery
and bend the knee to aristocracy, for to live their creed their need is small.
And may men proclaim their worthines, display their lowliness, disclaim their earthiness.
Oh give us strength to seek true holiness, and in word and deed to heed the call!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I take it "ex" is much more derogatory?

[Apple Blossom]

LOL! I love the idea of the permit, what a sense of humor!

[DilJective]

How 'bout Dr. Ben Dover??!!!!

he has fortunately been busy lately..... ;-)

ALLIANCE OF IRANIAN WOMEN PROTESTS CODE PINK
Below is a statement received from the Alliance of Iranian Women, a truly revolutionary group that opposes the gender apartheid committed by the mullahs in their country. It is a protest against Code Pink’s despicable use of Iranian women demonstrating against the regime in their anti-war ads. Given the huge opposition they’re getting for this heinous act, hopefully it will never happen again.


*****

The Alliance of Iranian Women protests the actions of the Code Pink activists who have distorted the legitimate struggle of Iranian women, for their human rights, to suit their own political and ideological agenda.

The top part of the picture is what the A.N.S.W.E.R coalition/Code pink activists, have photoshopped the top part of the photo (below), out of the original photo, shown in the bottom. First, they have mixed the picture of some western women to the original Iranian women’s picture. Then, not only they have made up slogans, in pink placards, they have even doctored the courageous gaze of the Iranian heroine into a Cheshire cat grin. The real sign in the back, in the original picture below, is calling for equal justice, not the irrelevant Arabic writing. The young woman in center of the photograph is holding a white sheet in her hand that reads: “We are the children of Cyrus, the pioneers of human rights,” not JOIN US. Also the girl, on the right holding the large sign was not a part of this demonstration; she is yet from another photo taken last year at the Tehran University sit-in that was in protest against the Islamic Regime paramilitary stations around the University campus. Her sign in the original picture read: “This space belongs to us”, not HOW MANY LIVES PER GALLON?

All we ask is: if you do not support us do not use us for your own political games and maneuvering.

[armymarinemom]

Yes it does! Medea Benjamin has to dress and act like a fool in order to get arrested. The Iranian women are putting everything at stake protesting.

My kids would love to make Valentines for the troops - we have been to a couple Freeps at WR. They are very prolific with their paintings/drawings so I will keep my eye out for info on Valentine delivery.

Outstanding.....

btw, I forwarded that prayer for the warriors to dozens who forwarded it to dozens who forwarded it so mant times it came back to me two days later!

I also forwarded it to every film-biz commie I know here and foreign (including two of the Baldwins) just to get under their skin. Keep them coming...

[concretebob]

Yep..Standard rule..Once a Marine always a Marine. Thats why there are no ex-Marines.
However, the Marines I know, current and former, DO NOT advocate the policies espoused by Murtha.
And a few I have had conversations with on this topic, have expressed the same feeling.
Murtha may have finished boot camp, he may have gone in-country, but his comments now, and his acceptance of code pink accolades, does not reflect the true spirit of the Marine Corps and he has brought dis-honor on himself.

[freema]

Thank goodness for small favors!

I hope all goes well for you!

[freema]

What a find! I was VERY curious about the language on the original signs. Moreover, to find that they are aware of the photoshop is incredible.

Now that this is posted I would like to make a very interesting point, which is, I am thrilled that Iranian women understand that Code Pink is not what it purports to be and have spoken out.

That Code Pink would use other women is no real surprise, considering they use our troops.

This all leads me right back to Jack Murtha
and puts him in an even deeper hole.

Quoting the pinko blog:

"It was then I realized something deep down that I’d known intellectually all along: Code Pink’s vigil has nothing to do with the freepers, and never will. The Walter Reed vigil started because the soldiers are there inside, and need support for when they are discharged."

What a lie. They flee like roaches before the bus is to return with the soldiers and don't venture inside to talk to them. If they were about supporting troops they wouldn't be afraid to be seen there by those same troops. They are looking for political points in their "peace at any price" 60's hippie hangover. I also don't buy the "we're not really angry" bit for a second. I'll bet this guy had a really hard time getting to sleep. Isn't schadenfreude wonderful?

Not a bit of a surprise. If Medea were in Iran she would be on the side of the Mullahs.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Sounds good to me.

[Redbob]

WOW1 GREAT move!
LOL! Can you believe the Pinkos are too stupid to renew their permits?
Did they think they were just "entitled?"

[incredulous joe]

God bless them. This is excellent news!
