Thanks to the hard work and perseverance of kristinn and other DC Chapter FReepers, Free Republic got a lot of PUBLICITY all over the nation this weekend.

(Horowitz quote)The second thing Americans should think about is the fact that this anti-American support movement for America's enemies has deep roots in the Democratic Party.

That was so good it bears repeating!

Can anyone give me easy directs how to post pictures. I have a fwe good ones. I could always send them by email to someone smarter than me.

You can go to Webshots and set up a free account and upload the pictures to their site. Seems to work pretty well.

Another option might be using your ISP if they allow webspace. I find that to be the simplest solution but will require some basic html (nothing you cant learn from the html bootcamp)

If you have any difficulties freepmail me.

Come on to NY on February 15 and we'll FReep em again (harder,harder!).

Lisa, I wasn't aware of the Feb 15th event. Another mess of anti-American "give pizza chants"ers? Please FReepmail me the details and/or post a thread. As it's on a Saturday and I can make it to NYC in 5 hrs from WV, I'll seriously consider it. Thanks!

N.J. FReepers rock!!!

[firebrand]

I have bookmarked this thread and will ping everyone on it for the NYC rally, as soon as that thread is posted.

[L_Von_Mises]

Here are a few of my pics from the Friday night dinner, rally and 'Rosie Ruiz' Peace March.

I think you just need to use a different URL. The one you used is probably the one where you edit the pictures. There should be one that reads something like: http://community.webshots.com/user/lisafab

I hope Curtis didn't loose the shirt I gave him to give to Sean.

[Doctor Raoul]

Good to have FReeped with you this weekend. Less do it again, sometime!

Likewise. And that goes for everyone who was there. Unfortunately, it was pretty intense all weekend with lots of things to keep tabs on and problems to solve. I didn't get to talk and share time with everybody. But, in a David and Goliath battle, we did good. Goliath is off nursing one large and very painful hickey......

It was like the Alamo, more of them than us, but we were not about to give up.

[LisaFab]

X, firebrand will ping us all on this thread with the details.

Since some of the unwashed were carrying "NYC - Feb 15th" signs I'm assuming we'll once again be meeting with 25,000 of our closest 'friends'. Now we know what pushes their buttons and brings out the peace and love from their little commie hearts.

Hoping to see you in the Belly of the Beast. FReeping in NYC is quite an experience.

[Doctor Raoul]

I think Chief of the MPD estimated 30,000-35,000.

[Delphinium]

Remember, I am a grandma. I called my 16 year old and he says its to hard to teach me. I will try to figure it out. I have never even uploaded pictures before.

I think you just need to use a different URL.

Thanks. Does this link work?

Thanks. Does this link work?

Yes!

>>It seems so unbalanced..our side has less than 100 people and the idiots have thousands<<

We WORK for a living. These people hang around on the fringe, get the Left (especially the limo-liberals) to subsidize their nuevo VW microbus, government and victim patronage lifestyle.

While these damnfools were giving aid and comfort to the enemy, en masse, a lot of us had to get ourselves to work (I was on a cross country flight, as I do weekly). Many of us who work are too busy raising our families, spending time with our children, passing REAL values on and explaining how patronage works to the next generation to go to a rally.

Quit work, got a govt handout, make yourself a victim and you, too, can find yourself sent, free of any of your own money, all over the place to show how much you hate yourself and how little you can actually think.

Bravo to the DC Chapter for all their hard work. Wish I could have been there, too.

[desertcry]

You guys/dolls deserve a great ovation for a job well done!

[Republic]

Geeez-had to post all the links of FreeRepublic's mentions, didn't cha? Took a while to get thru it all-WHAT A PLEASURE! I love the DC FreeRepublic Chapter! Eagles way up! GOOD JOB!!!!! (Especially having learned of the commie sicko bastard groups that sponsored the anti-war rally-what a bunch of socialist jerks!!!! Methinks a lot of people got used.)

[Angelwood]

You made the New York Times story about the anti-war demonstration and the Patriots Rally -- the last two paragraphs are about FR.

Two hours before the start of the antiwar rally here, supporters of the war effort held a counter protest on the National Mall, southeast of the Vietnam Memorial. Fewer than 100 people — mostly from two groups, one called Move-Out and another called Free Republic — waved flags as "The Star Spangled Banner" played over a portable speaker.

"We believe in America and what America stands for," said Joe Kernodle, a Vietnam veteran and spokesman for Move-Out. Many of the counter protesters were associated with the military, but Nina Burke and her husband, Steve, came from Fredericksburg, Va., as civilians. "We need to disarm Saddam before he sneaks a nuke into Chicago or New York, not after," Ms. Burke said.

Salutes to all involved in the anti anti-American demonstrations. History will record what you did of love of Country and personal sacrifice. The (anti-war) crowd are exposed for what they are. Uninformed, idiots,subversist tools in the pocket of arch enemies and terrorists across the world plus the Democrat party who plays it for all it's worth. Aligned with filth their message clots into one big aneurism to our Country. Individually they care little but for theirself and have no knowledge of the intent of the ringmaster of their performance.
