Free Republic

FReep #47: On March 10th, we not only held ALL FOUR CORNERS of the main gate at Walter Reed (for the eighth week in a row), but we drove Code Pink off its new "vigil" perch as well!The Pinkos, still holding their weekly blood-dance waaaaay down the block, were caught off-guard and flat-footed in a trap brought about by their own overzealous use of the D.C. Police. We are very fortunate that these intellectual light-weights still haven't learned their lesson when it comes to permits. Hey Gael! Next time you call the cops on FReepers, make sure you have...

A SECOND GREAT FREEP!!!BELOW: Our corner before BMWcyle, Apple Blossom and family arrived. Pic by [Mrs] Trooprally. L-R: Trooprally, Lurker Marie, Spiff, Kristinn (in shorts), Cindy-True-Supporter, Lurker Bill Eleven FReepers were in attendance: Spiff, Kristinn, BMWcyle & Apple Blossom and their two daughters, [Mrs] Trooprally (I remembered to take her picture this time and all I got was grilled hot dogs when we got home), myself, locals Lurker Bill & Cindy-True-Supporter, and our granddaughter Lurker Marie. The moonbats had 17. MOBilizing Mothers were there again. Even with the warm weather they stood there like manikins, all in a row, being...

There is a peace rally scheduled for 3-18-06 at 1 p.m. on the Circle. This event will be joined by approximately 10 different "peace" organizations, including Code Pink of Fort Wayne, Indianapolis Peace and Justice Center, Progressive Indiana, and others. Visit the website at www.HoosiersforPeace.org or read the press release in today's Indianapolis Star, www.indystar.com. We need to confront these folks. We cannot let our soldiers down!

Did you hear about Cindy Sheehan's letter to this administration, demanding a pull-out of the troops from Iraq? The one from this week, that is. Did you know that there's a group of protesters going to storm the White House to "End the reign of international criminals"? These are just a couple of issues Kristinn Taylor, longtime member and 8-year spokesman for Free Republic, will take on. Kristinn talks about the antics of the left and the supposed peace activists on Just A Woman Radio on KRLA with Lores Rizkalla this coming Sunday night. It'll be lots of fun! Don't...

On March 3rd, we held ALL FOUR CORNERS of the main gate at Walter Reed for the seventh week in a row for FReep #46. The Pinkos are still holding their “vigil” waaaaay down the block and the wounded warriors and their relatives do NOT have to pass close by them to enter or leave Walter Reed Army Medical Center. We had another great turnout of FReepers and friends from the DC Chapter and beyond despite the freezing wind.The honor roll of those hardy enough to attend (lurkers are marked with an asterisk*): Albion Wilde, Bill* from MD, BufordP,...

Just Breaking!!!! Supreme Court Upholds "Colleges who accept Federal Funds must allow Military Recruiters"

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us this week as we welcome Cindy Sheehan and Medea Benjamin back to our nation's capital.Fresh from their excellent New York adventure, the dynamic duo of treason are bringing their roadshow to Washington, D.C. for media stunts and meetings with the Treason Caucus in Congress.We're posting their publicly announced schedule so you'll be able to make your plans accordingly. As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the...

The antiwar groups are at it again in Olney, Maryland. Olney is 10 miles due north of Washington, DC, on Georgia Avenue, which is the same road where we FReep at Walter Reed and the same road where the Protest Warriors, with help from some FReepers, tangled with protestors at the Silver Spring Recruitment Center back in November. Sounds like we should change the street name, then the antiwar groups would get lost, but I digress. Greater Olney is a small town of 35,000. But it is in the middle of a very liberal Blue State that tries to out...

Thanks to the FReepers/Protest Warriors who made it today to Olney's 2nd. FReep. (See <->http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1552773/posts<-> for first week's AAR and what started our FReep.) WE OUTNUMBERED the PeaceAction group 9 TO 8. Cut/paste PeaceActionMC.org if you want to view their site. These groups are like the gopher game, hit one at one place and another pops up. Honor roll for today were Concretebob (PW), Gate2Wire, GunsareOK, Paltz (PW), Lurker Bill and Lurker Joan (Both locals), [Mr & Mrs] Trooprally, and Local Hasley. Some of the FReepers double as PW and we thank them for coming. Below, GunsareOK, Local Halsey wearing...

On Saturday the 14th a few strong hearty Freepers went to Olney to confront the latest moonbat gathering. The Peace Action group was present with one left over hippy (Bush Hater using some of his limited four letter vocabulary), several Quakers (focused just only one part of scripture, Blessed are the Peacemakers), and one or two DNCers (In Denial they voted for any Clinton). They arrived in their Asian cars with Kerry stickers on their bumpers, posters with pictures of fallen heroes, posters with War is not the Answer (with no other solutions), and two large banners. They number about...

After several Saturdays away from Olney, we (Mr & Mrs Trooprally) returned to a rousing welcome by having 12 dedicated FReepers, lurkers and family in Olney. The leftists had 15 but we are shaping their agenda. The backboneless leftist scurried (Read 'retreated' as Rep. Murtha likes to say) over to the northeast corner this week and even changed one of their signs after Bmwcyle criticized them about it last week. Photos by Bmwcyle: 3rd. Week on Left - 4th. Week on Right They had enough during the last two weeks of trying to argue their lame reasons for "Peace Now"....

"HOLD MY UMBRELLA" was all I heard from someone behind me. I turned and had the handle of an opened umbrella handed to me and this guy, Bruce, determinedly crossed over to the leftist corner. He spent about 15 minutes over there, engaging each of the four leftist. He came back to our side and thanked us for being there. Lurker Joan & I talked with Bruce for about 15 more minutes. Upon leaving he went over to Justanobody, Lurker Bill and iMacMan and thanked each of them for being there. I have a contact for Bruce and hopefully he'll...

We Got Snow, the wet kind that is no different from rain, it was cold (luckily no wind), and we got coffee. TWICE we got coffee. Soldiers who were in Iraq and saw us on the corner, went to a local coffee shop and bought us coffee. They sincerely Thanked us for standing there. The leftist antiwar group of three saw this. Hopefully it was demoralizing. I also counted only 6 honks for their side. We had several honks every light change and penty of thumbs up. This is really up lifting to our side and again demoralizing for their...

Being the author of this Thread gives me certain privileges. So I would like take one and 'Welcome Back' my wife, [Mrs] Trooprally. She has had bronchitis the last several weeks and even though not completely recovered, she wanted to get back into FReeping. She was at the Friday night Walter Reed FReep and then today. [Mrs] Trooprally occasionally had to spend time in our jeep to warm up, but she was there when needed. Also at this Saturday's FReep were Lurker Bill, my self, and iMacMan, who also took the great pictures for this Thread. iMacMan is the FReeper...

This is what the warmer weather brought out in Olney. It seems that as the weather warms up, the fair-weather antiwar protesters start to crawl out from under their electric blankets. This week the grumpies out numbered us 14 to 5, three times our number!!! And I foresee their numbers to grow. We saw two new younger leftists grumpies who were at Olney's September 2005 antiwar rallies. At that time we, [Mr] & [Mrs] Trooprally, were not yet FReepers and we organized the counter rally ourselves from scratch. Back then, they gathered 60 the first week, and 40 the following...

WHAT A WEEK MAKES!!!The call last week for "Boots on the Corner" was heeded by FReepers and locals alike. We had 8 to the moonbats 12. While still out numbered, the volume of the Honor the Troops group created more honks, more thumbs up and more enthusiasm among us. We were more visible on our corner and the passerbys responded most positively. Roll call included, Kristinn (who missed his easy ride to Olney and took the hard way to get there because he said he would be there - Thanks), iMacMan (who is always welcome with his "most excellent" camera),...

On Feb 24th, we held ALL FOUR CORNERS DC Chapter and beyond including numerous members of George Washington University’s College Republicans. This was FReep #45 as FReepers have countered the anti-troop hate group Code Pink at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center for going on 12 months. Now that the Pinkos are completely gone from the gate, we had many more than the usual number of wounded troops join us or stop by to thank us for being there, but more importantly we get to thank them in person for all the hard,...

U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006 Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed” While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq...
