Soldier’s Outrage at Anti-War Protests at Army Hospital “. . . I am a reservist out of Dallas, Texas, who is currently deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I also was deployed to Iraq for one year in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was part of the initial invasion into Iraq. During my first deployment to Iraq, my MP unit was called up. I volunteered for this deployment because I felt I had more to give my country and felt it was the right thing to do. I would like to comment on the article you...

Watch out, Cindy Sheehan may end up on your governor's doorstep By Kevin Fobbs Cindy Sheehan is on another mission and her intent is to literally get America out of Iraq if it kills America and destroys our Homeland Security in the process. Her stated purpose as she begins her rounds around the nation is to take on the nation's governors and browbeat them into submission so that they will pull out their National Guard units one state at a time. Can't you just see the glee in leaders of Al Qaida's eyes as they support her new and improved...

Click the link the title/header and you'll see that there was an Inaugural Ball held for Gena Davis, star of a show ABC claims will be apolitical. Of course, Sutherland has used his new found fame to bash the US and guess what, the star of the show, Gena Davis is breaking bread with Jodie Evans, a leader of Code PINK, the horrible anti-American folks holding anti-war protests every week at Walter Reed Army Hospital in DC on Friday evenings and at Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego on Sunday afternoons. Here's an excerpt from that announcement: INAUGURAL BALLwith GEENA...

Go to http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/130519/index.php and download the interview. One of Code PINK's leaders, Jodie Evans, complains about how long it took to process all the people arrested with Cindy Sheehan at the White House. Then she admits that she TOOK OFF when she was released at midnight rather than observe "Jail Solidarity" with the people the march leaders asked to participate. In the extremist world of far-left protest there are sacraments and rituals. Jail Solidarity is High Mass for them and Jodie disrespected all those who showed support when getting arrested, but she didn't support them. She took off for her...

This is a quick post to provide an after action report for the DC Chapter Freep of Code Pink at Walter Reed. It was a night to remember and I did not want to keep everyone waiting. There will be a full report with all pictures later on in the week.It was a normal but cooler night as everyone arrived for another evening of countering Code Pink. Down the street came the sound of a single motorcycle. The Rolling Thunder scout arrived to announce the news of more bikes to follow. The first scout went accross the street to talk...

ANTI-MILITARY WHACKOS COMING TO SAN DIEGO MILITARY HOSPITALS! CODE PINKOS YELL AT INJURED MILITARY AND GRIEVING FAMILIES AT WALTER REED AND BALBOA NAVAL HOSPITAL DON'T LET THIS STAND! CodePink is at it again. For the past several months, this radical anti-everything group has been disgracing itself by holding weekly demonstrations outside Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C. – in full view of wounded soldiers going out to dinner with their families on Friday evenings. They've been effectively countered by the diligent efforts of groups like Free Republic and Protest Warrior, who have set up their own demonstration of support...

I attended the Code Pink protest and FreeRepublic counter-protest at Walter Reed Army Medical Center last Friday night. As usual, the "peace loving" Code Pink folks were anything but. Shortly after arriving, I noticed they were harrasing a couple that was there to also document the event on video.

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...

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...
