If you were to ask Diane Wilson, who has done 7 long-term fasts, "What do I need to do to fast?" her response would probably be, "Just Stop Eating!" But if that still leaves you with more questions on fasting, here are some "fast tips". How long am I supposed to fast? We ask anyone who wants to take part in the fast to dedicate at least 24 hours. Any additional days are great. And if you are interested in long-term fasting, we recommend 2 weeks or more. Where should I fast? You can join us in fasting in Washington,...

<p>With the weather cooperating this week and with it being the July 4th. Weekend, MOAB2 was put up in Olney. We wanted to go all out for this special weekend and looks like it was successful. Doctor Raoul was a surprise attendee, along with Cindy_True_Supporter who thought she was going to miss this Saturday. BELOW is what the moonbats saw.</p>

Curse You, Red, White and Blue Baron! Moonbat Mysteries Part II by Wayne Boettcher Posted: 06/30/2006 "Anti-war" activists are not famous for impeccable logic, brainy equations, or just plain common sense. Thus they can often be found engaging in all sorts of activities that an ordinary person might find weird, repulsive or unstable. (Hence their nickname: moonbat.) One shining example of bizarre peacenik behavior is when moonbats pretend to hold "vigils" for troops. What they are actually doing, of course, is protesting our military to damage moral and minimize troop recruitment in wartime. The deception is transparent to most...

On July 4, we will launch an historic hunger strike called TROOPS HOME FAST in Washington, D.C. in front of the White House. While many Americans will be expressing their patriotism via barbeques and fireworks, we'll be fasting in memory of the dead and wounded, and calling for the troops to come home from Iraq. We're inviting people around the world to show their support for this open-ended fast by fasting for at least one day. Please sign up to join us in DC or to support us in your hometown and encourage your friends to do the same!

The moonbats could not take the heat today from Doctor Raoul's bullhorn [BELOW]. While he arrived a little late, but with a bag full of Philly pretzels (in "brown paper bag" just behind bull horn and Lurker Bill in back ground) for our side, he jumped right in with his questions of "Why did the Quakers stand by while Pol Pot murdered millions", "Why don't you become human shields for the Iraqi's who are being killed by terrorists", "Why did you delay shipments of food to the starving Somalians?", ending the above with "You have blood on your hands that...

FReep #61: Summer Arrives at Walter ReedBright sunshine and much warmer temps greeted us this evening. Our usual crowd of FReepers and friends was bolstered again tonight by the Western Conference of College Republicans. The young'uns were enthusiastic, very well informed, and committed to Supporting the Troops and the Mission! Plus, they dress really well!The honor roll of attendance (lurkers marked with *):Albion Wilde, Bill from MD*, BillF, Cindy-True-Supporter, Fraxinus, Gavin*, Jack Deth, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Landry Fan, maica, PleaDeal, son-of-tgslTakoma, tgslTakoma, and Trooprally [Mr. and Mrs.]. Ohio was again represented by Ryan and Karen, who decided to make the...

<p>I have uploaded the video I made of this event on Google Video, and you can view it HERE. It's twenty minutes long. For the twelve Freepers and lurkers still using dial-up, here's a recap of the events...</p> <p>I got word (from an anonymous source) a week ago that Code Pink was going to have another Moonbat parade in DC on Flag Day (June 14th for those of you in Rio Linda), to celebrate the 2500th US military death in Iraq. It didn't matter to Gael Murphy when she announced the parade that the death toll might not be at 2500; she must have been really bummed by Zarqawi's untimely demise on June 7th (HOOAH! and AirPower!) and needed to do something to lift her out of the funk she was in. And a blood dance was just the ticket, apparently.</p>

The moonbats could not take the heat today. And it was only in the mid-80s. The were packed up and GONE by 4:20 today. During the winter months, they had the sun keeping them a little warmer than our group who were in the shadows of some mature pine trees. Being hardened FReepers from the cold nights at Walter Reed, we stayed at our corner until the moonbats were long gone. But now that it is summer, the leaves on the trees on the grassy knoll immediately behind us keep us in the shade while the sun beats down on...

Flag Day in the Desert by Wayne Boettcher Posted: 06/16/2006 The sun was already scorching the desert sands at 7:00 am as I wound my way through the highways and byways of Tucson to the Military Recruitment Center at 2302 E. Speedway. For some years now liberal activists, (including Communists, moral relativists, aging hippies and gullible students) have protested the military on Wednesday mornings here with signs and flags in an attempt to hinder military recruiting and dampen the moral of American troops and citizens. For almost a year now an ad hoc group of patriotic Americans composed of...

This FReep can be counted as one of the top couple of FReeps in Olney. After 23 weeks of standing on the corner in the middle of Olney, I think the Olney FReep is finally maturing. Next week will be the test to see if this week was not just an anomaly. Pics are by [Mrs] Trooprally and iMacMan. Due to the numerous pics and the time to write this thread, I'm not going to identify who shot which pics. So much happened today, I don't know where to begin this Report. So I'll start at where we have been...

Ding-Dong Zarqawi's Dead!!The wonderful news that our military eliminated this horrible beast set the tone for the evening. So many months of hard work and persistence finally paid off in a spectacular manner and we were prepared to celebrate the success of Task Force 145 and all of the members of the military who have been successful in their own MOSs. We were also mindful that this was a day of disappointment and sorrow for CodePink and commie sympathizers everywhere. Their icon was gone - blown up by the military they so despise. It must have been especially painful for...

Something special happens every Friday at the front gates of Walter Reed. It is sometimes really exciting, like throwing CodePink off its corners or watching "Squeegee" wet himself with fright at an approaching Rolling Thunder member. But more often than not it's simply being honored by a visit from one of the wounded warriors from inside the hospital. When one of these truely special people comes out to thank us for being there... it's just a humbling, happy experience. June 2nd was one of those quiet, satisfying FReeps.The big surprise was the most welcome return of Landry Fan!   Landry's...

After last Saturday's "most excellent" FReep, this week could be considered 'slow'. It was very windy and it was decided not to put up the red banner. The blue banner held its own in the 20 MPH wind. It was overcast for part of the FReep with a chance of thunderstorms, so we were over joyed when the sun came out. I sometimes think the bad weather is saved for Saturday so that MOAB2 can be put up at Walter Reed, which is very good, because WR is the main place that we need to show our stuff. Our four...

Where do I start? On September 11, 2001, the enemies of America living within our shores got the go-ahead to begin their attack on the USA. And they wasted no time in doing so. Within days of the terrorist attacks, groups like the Workers World Party quickly formed a wing of radicalism disguised as an "antiwar" coalition; and they held their first mass march on September 29, 2001. The remains of the World Trade Center were still smoldering, and the domestic enemies marched in our streets declaring that we (the US) got what we deserved. The Revolutionary Communist Party formed...

Photos by [Mrs.] TrooprallyLots of pixels; give this thread time to fully load. WASHINGTON, May 26, 2006-- While many in the Capital and across the U.S. planned respectful visits to veteran's cemeteries on Memorial Day weekend, or to solemn observances to honor those who gave their lives for our nation, Code Pink showed up at Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Friday evening for more of their usual singin', dancin', sneerin' and general disrespect under the "banner" of war protests. Sporting a Mary Poppins umbrella, this confused Code Pinko gives the anachronistic V-sign (which means Victory, as in "Victory in...

This week was one of the most exciting that we've had. WARNING: There is a lot of excellent stuff in this thread, so be sure you have the time to enjoy it. A great group of FReepers made it so. Just last Tuesday the Olney FReep had only two Freepers who planned to attend Saturday. A call for 'boots on the corner' went out and was answered by dedicated FReepers. They came from all over the East Coast. They took time out from their vacation to attend. 10 FReepers gathered this week in Olney. There were three regulars, Lurker Bill...

BillF and PleaDeal were off last Friday so it has fallen to me to write the weekly report from Walter Reed. I'm not as technically proficient as they are so y'all get a break from the "heavy graphics."Honor Roll for Week 57: Justanobody; mr. and mrs. trooprally; tgslTakoma; cindy_true_supporter; Albion Wilde; BufordP; Jimmy Valentine's brother; Fraxinus; lurker Bill; mama taco; Danang68 and kristinn.Our numbers have slacked off over the past few months. I suppose folks don't see the need to come out to Walter Reed on Friday nights now that Code Pink has been moved off the corner at the...

They call themselves peaceful, saying they abhor violence and war. They gatecrash and disrupt hearings, fundraisers and other events, shouting that it is their constitutional right to do so; but woe unto those who dare to speak out against them.Code Pink and its leaders are violent. They physically attack counter-demonstrators, they destroy other people's property. Code Pink's leaders Medea Benjamin, Gael Murphy and Allison Yorra all participated in the violence on this day.Here is just a small part of the video we shot of their "peace demonstration" on May 18, 2006 at the home of U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald...

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...
