First Walter Reed FReep of the new year!
Arrived around 6:30pm. While we were setting up TrueBlackMan stopped by to pay a visit. Unfortunately he was only able to stay for about 15 minutes ... and let us know that he's getting married! Reply to TrueBlackMan and give him your condolences ... I mean, CONGRATULATIONS! Date is yet to be firmed up. Sometime in October. He wanted you all to know. Ever wonder what we do for for three hours standing on the street corner every Friday night? Well, VictoryNY screams, "WE LOVE OUR SOLDIERS!", all night long. The rest of us talk. Chew the fat. Shoot the breeze. Argue. Debate. FIGHT! But this time we had an agenda. It was time for the Walter Reed primary. Yes, I know you didn't hear anything about the Walter Reed primary. None of the news outlets coverered it. No Chrissy Mathews, Morning Joe, or Campaign Carl. But a primary we did have. I went around and canvassed everyone and asked them who they wanted to represent the Repubic Party in the general election: McCainiac, FRed, Hunter, the cross dressing mayor, magic underwear, RuPaul, or the Huckster. There were a few votes for FRed. But the clear winner was Duncan. He got all our electoral votes which in the grand scheme of things came to a grand total of GOOSE EGG! BufordP
Honor roll: Albion Wilde, BufordP, Chief, CindyTrueSupporter, Fraxinus, kburi, GunsAreOK, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Lurker Bill, Pascquale, PleaDeal, RonGKirby, ToleranceSucksRocks, TomtheRedHunter, [Mr and Mrs] trooprally, TrueBlackMan, VAFlagWaver, VictoryNY
The lefties down the street, still brandishing their "Bring Them Home Now" signs, were having a bad night. Not only have their numbers decreased to the same seven regulars every week, but theyve been completely abandoned by the CodePink hags who started their Walter Reed vigil (picketing the wounded). Medea Benjamin and her hate-America cronies were rumored to be in DC that day to mark the fourth anniversary of CodePinks founding, but they didnt even bother to show up. The remaining handful of union stooges just stand there in the cold old hippies who keep replaying Vietnam-era protests and not understanding why it isnt working this time. Our troops have been engaged in Operation Iraqi Freedom for nearly five years, and none of the 51 attempts to cut funding and "Bring Them Home Now" by Senate and Congressional Tools of Soros have succeeded. To top it off, their poster girl, Hillary Clinton, came in third in the previous days Iowa Caucus against two of the most metrosexual men in public life. Can it get any worse for the village idiots of the global village? Sincerely,
More pics from that night at PleaDeal's and Mrs Trooprally's photobucket albums.
If you can't get to D.C. to join us but would like to do something for the wounded, you can find a wealth of ideas by FReepmailing Albion Wilde, Cindy-True-Supporter, VAFlagwaver, or PleaDeal. Come join us every Friday night between the hours of 6:30pm to approx 9:30pm. Directions to our Walter Reed freep location from the Takoma metro station |
Now that’s an endorsement to be proud of.
DC Chapter ping
My best wishes for you both.
Thank you Freepers for this Freep.
I am proud of you all.
You’re so correct IMO.

Congratulations to you both! Let the freepers know the date - we’ll crash the reception! Talk about a party!!
Just kidding!
Best wishes to you the future MRS TrueBlackMan! :-))
Thank you DC Chapter for supporting our troops
Thank you, our troops, for your service, and your support of Duncan Hunter
Brings back memories for me....I was assigned at WRAMC 1987-1989. At that time Reagan was winning the Cold War
At this time, our troops are winning the Iraq War...
Tis a great day in America
Condolences...giggling.
CONGRATULATIONS trueblackman.
You look like one happy guy.
Thank you for your service!
Thanks for the report and the results of your Primary Vote.
Best Wishes to you, True. I hope she knows the gem she is getting!
Thanks for posting the great news!
And I love the pix!
Glad to see that the MOAB could be set up; I think it (and all y’all) gave a lot of encouragement to that soldier who saw/took a photo. I extend my congratulations to TBM; is there an emoticon for smacking BufordP upside the head?? I think Buford must have been suffering cigar deprivation when he wrote that section. . . .
Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the post, you guys rule. Congrats to TBM.
Thank you DC Chapter, thank you Veterans! and Congratulation to the happy couple!!
