What if the US had saved all the money it has spent over the past 65 years instead of spending it on Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and others? What if the US had let Saddam Hussein keep his foothold in Kuwait? What if the US had allowed NORIEGA to remain in power in Panama? What if the US didn’t defend its vital interests’ in Europe and allowed socialist Hitler, imperialist Japan or communist Stalin to reign supreme? For “liberal” readers, over 100 million people perished at the hands of those two kindred socialist political spirits. And American “socialists”...

On Saturday, September 24, 2005, thousands from Colorado and our neighboring states will come together in a show of force, unity, and action at 12:30 pm on the west steps of our state Capitol. The 3 November Movement, a broad coalition of groups and individuals, is organizing a rally for peace and justice to coincide with a nationwide protest during the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Our rallying cry: Get US Out Now: out of Iraq, and out of our complacency and into action.

Special SUPPORT THE TROOPS EMAIL to email to NON-FREepers to get the truth out on the Net! Copy/Paste/Forward This On by email to everyone you possibly can -- Is Iraq a Vietnam? NO! Murderous Marxist Che Guevara said "Two, Three Many Vietnams" and that's what the anti-American war protesters are up to. * Code Pink has contributed at least $600,000 to the treacherous rebels who are blowing up innocent Iraqi children and adults as well as Iraqi and U.S. soldiers. This group is absolutely an enemy of the United States of America and it is supported by God-hating Communists who...

On this weekend that so many lies are being told about America, let's share this with everyone, get the truth out on the Net! Copy/Paste/Forward This On by email to everyone you possibly can -- GREAT QUOTES: If we wish to be free--if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it,...

I have been doing some research into the chronology of events that led the anti-war groups to belatedly join in with America in "Supporting The Troops". They chiming in with "Me Too" back on April 1st, 2003, see "US Peace Movement Wraps Itself In The Stars and Stripes" in the Guardian (01 APR 03) Both Medea Benjamin and Leslie cagan are quoted. Code Pink started their Walter Reed Protests on April 1st, 2005. They continue their inappropriate protests where soldiers are healing. BOTTOM LINE: The anti-war left is really saying "APRIL FOOLS" when they say "We Support The TroopS".

War Protests Will Devastate Morale Says VFW Chief WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- News reports about a large anti-war rally in Washington this weekend are deeply troubling to the new national commander of the nation's largest organization of combat veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. "Our concern isn't with fellow Americans exercising their First Amendment rights to be heard," said Jim Mueller, the VFW's new commander-in-chief. "Our concern is how their political protest messages will be perceived by the 2.2 million American military personnel who protect and defend those freedoms daily," he explained. "Our concern is for...

Note: To see photos of this Freep, please click on the captioned links throughout the thread. For the twenty-second consecutive week, members of the DC Chapter of Free Republic, FR lurkers, out of state Freepers, Republican Operatives, mil-bloggers and many others gathered across the street from the main gate at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, on the northeast corner of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW, to show our unconditional support for our troops, their mission and our great country.Our group began assembling on our corner at 6:30pm, and we discovered that the womyn of Code Pink had already been...

NEW YORK - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said Tuesday she was hurt slightly in a scuffle that erupted when police broke up a rally as she was at the microphone. An organizer was arrested and charged with using a loudspeaker without a permit. “I was speaking and someone grabbed my backpack and pulled me back pretty roughly,” Sheehan said, describing the scene at Manhattan’s Union Square on Monday. “I was shoved around.”

The throngs of "anti-war" marchers heading to DC to attend the September 24th rally don't know that they are being used. CodePINK and United For Peace and Justice are both prodigy of Global Exchage, the 501(3)c non-profit formed by Global's Medea Benjamin. It's the "Benjamins For Benjamin Weekend"!. Using the attraction of a Hate America event to lure attendees, Code Pink's Medea Benjamin's cash cow, Global Exchange, has scheduled one of it's "Green Festivals" for the same weekend and is running it in competition with the anti-war events scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. How convenient? How many people will...

Stung by the success and resilience of the patriotic counter-demonstration by Freepers of Code Pink's ghoulish 'antiwar' protests outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Code Pink leader Gael Murphy and a couple Pinkos distributed flyers door to door to the houses in a several block area around Walter Reed urging residents to call the police in order to run off the D.C. Chapter from there. The two sided flyers featured a graphic promoting the 'antiwar' activities in Washington next weekend on one side and a letter from Code Pink to the residents in the Walter Reed neighborhood...

A just got off the phone with a good friend from the Old North State (NC) Chapter of FRee Republic who joined a small group in FReeping a "Peace" Fundraiser organized by the usual characters. As the NC FReepers are driving to their homes, they asked if I could start the thread for them. ------------------ Here is some background information from another thread (link above) Benjamin speaker for fundraiser [Code Pink's Medea Benjamin] North Carolina, Sept 16 herald-sun.com ^ | Sept. 1, 2005 Posted on 09/03/2005 10:20:07 PM PDT by Albion Wilde CARRBORO -- Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink...

As you may know, Cindy Sheehan is touring the country on an antiwar tour. She hit Raleigh today. Well, we had a small pro-troops meeting at 3PM at the site of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial statue on the old NC Capitol grounds. The Sheehan circus was supposed to start at 1:30 on the NC State campus, but petered out, as did the supposed march to the Congressman's office they'd promised to visit. So we went ahead anyhow, on time. Four people spoke, who were: a female veteran from the Viet Nam era, a Navy vet whose brother has served in...

because when i play the game all the characters don't talk or anything.How do i fix it in xp.

Having done this for six months, I'm calling mandatory FReeps for the next two Friday nights for the reasons given in red below. Those who've never attended and live with 80 miles must attend, unless you have a very good reason for not attending at least once (see below). If you don't come, I'll contact Halliburton to cut off your subsidized gas cards. Also, your docking privileges at the FReeper Yacht Club will be suspended. Your local Country Club and Gun Club memberships will likewise be suspended. I'm taking these actions reluctantly because some of you seem to be stuck...

For the fourteenth week in a row, FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond have outnumbered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.  This night featured a brief confrontation in which a leftist walked at least fifteen feet towards us, bumped into tgslTakoma's camera as she had her hands on it and face against it (video and audio of this confrontation are below, MUST SEE/HEAR).  The leftists complained when I shouted at the apologetic guy, who claimed that it was an accident. On a more positive note, two Walter Reed staffers told...

Once a week, members of Code Pink Women for Peace stand at the entrance of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., to demonstrate against the war in Iraq. As the loved ones of soldiers wounded in battle enter the grounds, the Pinkos are in their faces with hateful anti-war signs and chants. Before there was Camp Casey, there were the Code Pink "vigils." But they're getting more attention from the news media now because of the spectacle outside of President Bush's ranch in Texas. But the vigils also are drawing the ire of some conservatives and veterans groups....

Walter Reed 'vigils'     Your description of CodePink: Women for Peace's activities outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center is wrong ("Abusing wounded heroes," Editorial, Wednesday). We do not hold anti-war demonstrations outside Walter Reed; we hold weekly vigils that draw attention to the plight of soldiers and call for more support for veterans. We believe the vigils have helped achieve positive results for injured soldiers, such as greater Veterans Affairs funding and a rollback of attempts to make soldiers pay for their own meals and phone calls.     We often receive encouragement for the vigil from wounded soldiers, their families and Walter...

CARRBORO -- Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink and a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, will be the featured speaker at a fundraising event for the NC Peace & Justice Coalition at the ArtsCenter Sept. 16. The event, titled, "Send the Youth to DC, Not Iraq," begins at 8 p.m. It's designed to raise money to help send 2000 North Carolinians to an anti-war march in Washington. The performance lineup of musicians, dancers and poets includes MC Pandemonium, Boxcar Bertha and The Fruit of Labor Singing Ensemble Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for students, and are on sale mow at...

WASHINGTON - Organizers are planning what they say will be the largest anti-war demonstration in the nation's capital since the Iraq war began in March 2003. The ANSWER Coalition and United for Peace and Justice detailed their plans Thursday for the Sept. 24 protest. They plan to bus in people from across the country for a march past the White House. Other major protests are planned that day in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Cindy Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed last year in Iraq, is on a 25-state bus tour that will end at the...

The members of Code Pink who descend on the Walter Reed Army Medical Center each Friday purport to know the truths governing the foreign policy of the Bush administration, although theirs are the kind of truths spun in the dark recesses of Oliver Stone's mind. They are a cartoonlike series of messages made out of the same old cloth, from the "lies" of the administration to the all-powerful influence of Halliburton. These charges are in the family of "No blood for oil," which, as we all know, never resulted in dollar-a-gallon gas. The latter was one of the theories going...
