USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Support our Troops Nationwide Rallies ~ February 21 2003
February 21 2003 | snippy about it

Posted on 02/21/2003 5:09:31 AM PST by snippy_about_it

Today we want to highlight the many upcoming Support our Troops and Patriot Rallies going on in our nation.

We hope you are able to participate in a rally near you or can make the trip to Washington D.C.

We want to show our troops, especially those forward deployed for Operation Enduring Freedom, that in fact America does stand behind her military. We also welcome support for our President, the Commander in Chief.

Folks, check out the links and find a rally near you, plan to attend and show your colors.

If anyone knows of a rally that isn't listed here, please feel free to post a link to it on today's Canteen thread.

From Angelwood: The Patriots Rally for America IV is a go for March 1, 2003 -- if you can get here to stand up for the troops, our Commander-in-Chief and our country, please do so. If you can't travel to DC, please try to make it to another Pro-America, Pro-Troops rally nearer to your home.

Our sources tell us that A.N.S.W.E.R. is still coming to DC on March 1 (as well as their "Convergence" on March 15). They are scaling back their numbers considerably, but they still plan to have staging areas and march to the Capitol with the main rally at 3rd and Constitution.

NEW ENGLAND FREEPERS: RALLY TO SUPPORT THE TROOPS IN MANCHESTER CT


San Antonio Rally

Dear Mr President:

Even as you keep your brave demeanor and tough approach to the current World situation, we surmise that in private moments you surely agonize over the weighty decisions that soon you will be called upon to make.

Our prayers are with you, and our support as well. We know that you will do the right thing, as you see it in your heart. You are a good man.

War is ugliness incarnate, and it is always to be avoided when possible. The day it becomes an attractive option, we fear, then we are all doomed.

But, to every season we must turn. Action now may be the only way to avoid a worse scenario down the road. That decision falls to you and the Congress. It is part of the job description. You must have known that when you signed on.

We don't envy you your task, but we will support you and our fine men and women in the military, as the future unfolds. Support in every way.

Of course, you will take a lot of criticism, no matter what you do. Stand strong. Your strength is our strength. As a nation, that is the way it must be.

God and history will judge us all, eventually.

Best regards,
RG Griffing,
Editor/Publisher San Antonio Lightning Newspaper

PS: Our heroes have always been cowboys.

Rally for America - Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Mar. 2, 2003


Glenn Beck's Rally For America

Locations to date:

March 1st, 11:00 AM
San Antonio, TX
Rivercenter Mall Amphitheater

Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Glenn Beck and San Antonio radio station WOAI 1200 AM will host a Rally for America at the Rivercenter Mall Amphitheater.

Located on the gorgeous San Antonio Riverwalk near the historic Alamo, the amphitheater will host a celebration of American spirit and pride.

This event was conceived as a pro American freedom rally, to show the average Joe that he is not surrounded by the seemingly crazy people that much of our media focuses on. No, the crazies are surrounded by you, the ones in the majority in this great land, the decent God fearing hard working Americans that don't sue every time they spill hot coffee in their own laps!

The Rally for America is a group of people that are normal Americans; not media favored celebrities and money grubbing opportunist. The Rally for America is for the people that are the backbone of this country; people who despise war but understand that there are times when we have to fight a war. Both against our enemies abroad, and those within America who look upon the regular average American citizen as something less than decent and caring.

This event will feature local San Antonio KJ97’s Randy Carroll, Mix96.1’s Woody and Singer Beverly Houston + other Special Guests.


March 2nd, Noon

Cleveland, OH

This is a wonderful thread, snippy. Thank you! Brings back memories of election 2000. The far left is still trying to steal the election.

I love fighting with Freepers on the homefront. (^:

For those who can't make it to the rallies, send a message to our President, our troops, our press, our enemies.

Final mush? John Schandelmeier and his dog team cruise across a windblown lake along the Steese Highway near Central, Alaska. Schandelmeier, a 12-year veteran of the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race, says this year's may be his last.

Sean Hannity gave Mike Farrell a forum in which to embarrass himself yesterday, and Farrell did not disappoint.

MASH always seemed perverse--Korea was not funny, so how did it rate a sitcom?

Now we have CBS warning Grammy celebs against displays--which is gasoline on their fire.

In the run-up to go we have lemmings rushing for the precipice.

The useful idiots are somewhere between Heaven's Gate and Jonestown, out of gas, no GPS, no clue.

Meantime, there's history to be made defending America and changing the tenor of the Middle East.

A time for giants and we're blessed with them aplenty.

Led by adults with patriotism, wisdom and courage, our men and women in uniform are bringing skill and dedication to the mission.

Godspeed Swift Victory and Safe Return to the Finest Fighting Force on Earth

God Bless Our Troops, Our Veterans, and their Families

SADDAM-FREE in '03

Hollywoodpeckers approved force against Iraq in 1998--it was to distract from the impeachment of a traitor--that's why.

Israel Today - February 21, 2003 - 19 Adar I, 5763

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon says that in any future peace talks with the Palestinians, some real estate is not negotiable. "I don`t think there is any right to anyone to make any compromise when it comes to Jerusalem," Sharon told American Jewish leaders here in Jerusalem. "We are guardians of Jerusalem for future generations." Palestinians say that`s a non-starter, though they rejected former Prime Minister Ehud Barak`s offer of half of Jerusalem at the Camp David Summit in the summer of 2000. Considering that Sharon won the recent election by a landslide, that offer may not come around again.

Sharon also categorically rejected the "right of return" of Palestinian refugees who want to return to their former homes in Israel. "Israel will never accept that danger to occur. Never," he said. The right of return "means the destruction of Israel as [an] independent, democratic Jewish state." Even the most dovish Israelis oppose the right of return, but Palestinians say there can never be an agreement if this issue is not resolved.

Israeli troops killed two Palestinians terrorists today as they carried out separate attacks in the Gaza Strip. At the Erez border crossing, a Palestinian throwing hand grenades stormed an army post, but was shot dead by troops before inflicting any casualties. Nearby, a terrorist tried to infiltrate the Jewish settlement of Dugit, when he was spotted by soldiers and killed in a hail of gunfire. The Islamic Jihad group claimed responsibility for both attacks. The incidents follow yesterday`s arrest of eight suspected Islamic Jihad members in the US for alleged involvement in Palestinian terrorism.

Israeli officials say they`re moving closer to a deal with the US for additional aid and loan guarantees, to help offset the cost of more than two years of fighting with the Palestinians. Israeli and US officials discussed the matter yesterday in Washington. "We are in the process now of the end negotiation,” said Dov Weissglass, the chief of staff at the Prime Minister`s Office. Israel is already the biggest recipient of US aid, getting $3 billion a year. It wants an additional $4 billion in direct aid, and $8 billion in loan guarantees. "We recognize the impact on Israel of the ongoing war on the terrorism and of regional instability,” said White House National Security Council spokesman Sean McCormack. “We have great confidence in the Israeli economy and we are continuing to examine how the US can contribute to helping to ensure its bright future."

Gee, Ya think?


An objective and responsible Media Corporation such as CBS would never use veiled language in order to stir up disgruntled overpaid self indulgent "stars" to wreak havoc on the morale of our Military and those who support it's Volunteers!

They would never covertly encourage Celebrtities to excercise their protected (by our Miltary) Constitutional right to dissent. CBS has proven over the years just how objective they really are. Don't you remember just how "fair" they were to the former only elected president ever to be impeached?

I do not know where you are coming from. There is no way that CBS would ever actually encourage the exact opposite of what they requested. Clearly you are confused.
