Free Republic

The three day Olney Days Festival was held this weekend in Olney. One Festival event was the "Mr. & Ms. Olney Contest". [Mrs] T thought that it would be nice if FRee Republic had its own contest. So the "Mr. & Ms. Idiot Contest" was born. Please give your votes in a post. If I'm not beat to the punch by some smart a## FReeper, :-)) , I'll give the results in next week's Thread. (Pics by [Mrs] T and banner photoshopped by iMacMan). So without further ado, Drum Roll Please - Drum Roll * Drum Roll * Drum Roll...

Honor Roll for today: Mr. and Mrs. Trooprally, Cindy_True_Supporter, tgslTakoma, daughterofTgsl and kristinn.Code Pink, Cindy Sheehan, CIA turncoat Ray McGovern and approximately several dozen barking moonbats marched from the White House to the home of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in Northwest Washington, D.C. this afternoon.Lying in wait for them were six members of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic determined to stand up for Secretary Rumsfeld and for America. It was not a fair fight. Pinko egos were left splattered on the pavement after two hours of battle. It was a nice Spring afternoon, with a shower early...

Pennsylvania Democrat John 'cut and run' Murtha, the Congressman from Al-Qaeda, has once again opened his mouth and stirred a little controversy. He is accusing the United States Marines of killing Iraqi civilians...on purpose, in cold blood. This time he is referring to a March incident that was reported in Time magazine and one that the military is investigating.  The story goes that 15 Marines walked right into a civilian house throwing grenades and shooting...killing 15 Iraqis, including women and children.  That's right...the U.S. Marines go around killing innocent people for no reason.  That must be some military we have!...

This FReep is a continuation of a struggle over more than one year with Code Pink at Walter Reed after a preliminary skirmish more than two years ago. The background is in the beginning of a report from a while back.

It was a "Most Excellent" FReep today, except for the wind (gusts 20+ MPH) that picked up an hour before and stopped about two hours afterwards. There were 6 FReepers in attendance. They were the regulars Cindy_True_Supporter, Lurker Bill, [Mrs] Trooprally and myself, with iMacMan stopping by between boat excursions on the Chesapeake Bay and first timer Fraxinus. Pics are by [Mrs] T and by iMacMan (iMM). The moonbats had 11 for a while with 10 staying for the duration. They must be reading our reports because they now show up and stay the same time we do.

Meet the people behind so many of the weekly Hate America rallies, including the recent illegal aliens rallies and the May Day boycott:May 1 Boycott & LA Marches for Immigrant RightsNo Work! No School! Take To the Streets!On May 1, stand up for immigrant rights. Join immigrants and supporters to make May 1 a national “day without an immigrant.” We will settle for nothing less than full amnesty and legalization for the millions of undocumented workers presently in the United States. Let’s show the government, corporations and politicians that a powerful, united peoples’ movement has the power to win Civil Rights,...

Radical organizations, including active communist and revolutionary socialist organizations, were the driving force organizing the immigration boycott rally at Union Square in New York City on Monday. WND attended the event and took over 350 photographs documenting the effort by the radical political left to deliver an anti-American, anti-imperialist message under the guise of an "immigration rights" rally. The "Immigrant Boycott Day" was intentionally scheduled for May 1, worldwide known as the communist and socialist "May Day" holiday celebrating the struggle of "exploited workers" internationally. This scheduling decision was downplayed by the mainstream media. Documenting how carefully the radical political...

We've got over 125 photos---along with some descriptions and commentary---from Monday's immigration protest in downtown Los Angeles. We will be adding more photos and videos throughout the day today (and possibly into tomorrow). It really is a pretty comprehensive photo essay---enjoy! PS - Feel free to download and use any of our pictures, but please include a link to our site (http://www.modernconservative.com/). Thx, CC

It's been a long time since these Friday night revelries began. They weren't all as positive and fun as they are these days. For those who'd like to step back in history, here's a list of reports chronicling all of the WR FReeps as compiled and updated by BufordP. Pay special attention to Week 40 -- that's when concretebob kicked CodePink to the curb and we took ownership of ALL FOUR CORNERS.Tonight was clear as a bell in contrast to last week's downpour. Lots of folks turned out to take advantage of such a nice night and celebrate our heroes...

Here are some photos of the Los Angeles rally and march for the criminal invaders that were posted by their supporters. These are pics you will not see in the Mainstream Media.

This Saturday's FReep started off slow, even with MOAB2, tgslTakoma's new creation. Two weeks after MOAB2 was born, it was a 3Fer (See Post 1). Then Iraqikurd and his friend Samir, a Kurd from Azerbaijan showed up. We were now out numbered by only 3, at 9 to 6. Pics are by [Mrs] T and pics of the jogger across the street were enlarged by iMacMan. BELOW: LEFT: Lurker Bill & [Mr] T setting up MOAB2. RIGHT: Samir, Iraqikurd, [Mr] T, Cindy_True_Supporter, Lurker Bill at far right. Besides those two, our ranks included regulars Cindy_True_Supporter, Lurker Bill, [Mrs] Trooprally and...

[I periodically receive email from ANSWER. Here, stripped of all the "send money" pleas, for your amusement, is their latest spew. I know y'all will have fun with such a "target rich" post :] Join in the May 1st Boycott and Day of Action for Immigrant Rights! On Monday, May 1, International Workers Day, we will all be participating in one of the most momentous political events as millions of immigrant workers and students, and hopefully a large number of their allies, participate in the Great May 1st Boycott. Initiated from within the immigrant workers movement itself, the call for the May 1 Boycott...

As the illegal immigrants and their Leftist allies continue their campaign (invasion might be a more proper word) against North American culture they have now decided to further their agenda with an economic boycott in this country on May 1st. I'm sure the fact that May 1st is a big holiday celebrated by international communism has not escaped them. So they have chosen that day to attempt their boycott to show their true solidarity with the international political Left. Illegals and their supporters have rallied their comrades to show us their economic muscle. They are going to show us how...

Immigration protests are spreading across America. What is the motive? What is the agenda? From late March to early April, hundreds of thousands of illegal Hispanic immigrants reminded Americans they may yet suffer a wave of violence like that which left Paris burning and the authorities wondering why their ill-conceived invitation for Muslims to immigrate to France exploded in their faces. Worked into a rage by the "Latino" media, the Internet, and radical activists over proposed legislation on Capitol Hill to stop illegal immigration, Hispanics repeatedly stormed American streets to demand their "rights." In no uncertain terms, they told the...
