This is tragic news, but I appreciate you reporting it. I met CommiesOut at a a garden party at bmwcyle's home.

He was foreign born with a love for our Republic; so much that he could see the communistic influences encroaching. He took excellent photos and was always on the periphery.

CommiesOut, my friend, rest in peace.

My heart is breaking. Pete was a good friend and a good man.

For those who don't know, he was a member of Solidarity in Poland and was arrested and jailed when martial law was declared. Eventually he was 'invited' to leave his Polish homeland and came to America, settling first in Texas.

His family was allowed to join him there and they ended up in the D.C. area.

Pete had a deep love of Freedom--and a great sense of humor.

I will miss him.

Fred,this is often the case. Many people born here don't appreciate the gifts this country provides.

I heard it from a good source that CommiesOut was banned from FreeRepublic and the started posting at Liberty Forum under the name of Kulak. To bad all these people on this thread couldn't have stood up for him here after he got the old chop!
