Murtha's Code Pink star grows brighter      You won't see these photos of Congressman John Murtha in the state or local Pennsylvania newspapers. And you sure won't see these photos of Murtha on his congressional website. Sadly, these photos are amongst the avalanche of disturbing Murtha activities that are never reported to PA district 12 constituents.      Stunned PA district 12 constituents are just now seeing for themselves how profoundly Murtha has abandoned their values. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words:        The photos on the left show a proud John Murtha accepting awards...

RAPID TRANSFORMATION FORCE REPORT No. 2:Last week's opening line: "What a great week to be in Olney. Hot & humid, but the overcast kept the sun from baking us."What a difference a week makes, and Ernesto! The Rapid Transformation Force (RTF) was activated this Saturday. While seriously out numbered 3 FReepers to 8 moonbats, we were there. Wet and soggy for the second time in 24 hours. In addition to Ernesto, we rained on their parade once again. And once again they huddled before they left. I assume they'll have a different time for next week. That's fine with us....

CRAWFORD, Texas - This one-stoplight town, especially the road winding between pastures leading to President Bush's ranch, turned out to be much quieter than it was last summer. The 700-resident town's streets were clogged as more than 10,000 people began streaming in over the 26-day vigil, which started when Cindy Sheehan demanded to talk to Bush about the war that claimed her oldest son's life in 2004. Weekend rallies last year drew several thousand people, and a few celebrities even showed up. It was a different picture last month when war protesters returned, this time on a 5-acre lot closer...

Wet & soggy Honor Roll included: Ernesto, Lurker Bill, BillF, (CJ) chcknhawk, Cindy_True-Supporter (CTS), Fraxinus (Frax), Freeping-in Silence, Lurkers George & Ethel and their son Trevor (11 year veteran of the 4th ID, including Iraq, we think), kristinn, TFroatz, tgslTakoma, and trooprally (Mr. & Mrs.).

CJ's web site, soldiersperspective, can be viewed here, but as of Sunday AM, he has not posted an...

CRAWFORD, Texas - With a rally on their campsite Saturday, about 100 war protesters ended their monthlong vigil near the Western White House but planned to move it close to the White House. Many group members are heading next week to Washington, D.C., for a two-week demonstration called "Camp Democracy." "We wanted to try to build momentum and needed something to move the focus back to Washington," said retired Army Col. Ann Wright, who resigned as a U.S. diplomat in 2003 to protest the war with Iraq. Cindy Sheehan, whose oldest son Casey died in Iraq in 2004, started the...

It's all CJ's fault that I can't stand Code Pink. I didn't really even know about the group until he told me. However, I've been mesmerized by their stupidity ever since. Most of you know about the recent "hunger strike" that Code Pink has been suffering through. I say it that way because it's not really a hunger strike. They eat fruits and drink vegetable and fruit juices on this "strike". Maybe their friends Saddam Hussein and the guys at Guantanamo weren't clear when they explained the rules. Supposedly, five Iraqi delegates heard about their hunger strike and invited them...

Quinn sounds the 'Code Pink' Murtha alarm Jim Quinn, of the syndicated radio show "The War Room with Quinn & Rose," is sounding the alarm about Congressman John Murtha's Code Pink connection: [Quinn, on-air Sept. 1, 2006:]" ... in paging through this [BootMurtha.com website] I stumbled upon a story that even surprised me. Murtha took an award from CODE PINK? My god, this is a communist organization! Code Pink. I mean, there he is with his arms around these two women dressed in pink. THESE are the people that Rose ran into in Washington, DC, who stand outside of...

TO FIND PEOPLE WHO HATE AMERICA AS MUCH AS THEY DO, the Fifth Column Left had to go halfway around the world to meet with Iraqi political leaders who call terrorism “honorable national resistance” and say foreign jihadists “are guaranteed Paradise” – and at least one of whom has ties to militia leader Muqtada al-Sadr. By the end of the trip, the American leftists would echo these sentiments. Somehow most of the media – occupied with interminable coverage of Hurricane Katrina and JonBenet Ramsey’s non-killer – neglected to report that earlier this month a contingent of infamous American radicals including...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An Iraqi architect on Tuesday said he was forced to change his t-shirt before boarding a flight in New York because the shirt had "We will not be silent" written on it in Arabic and English. ADVERTISEMENT Raed Jarrar wrote on his Internet blog (http://raedinthemiddle.blogspot.com) that he was required to change out of the shirt prior to boarding a JetBlue flight from New York's John F. Kennedy Airport to California this month because officials told him people were offended by the shirt. In an interview with New York Public Radio on Tuesday, Jarrar said, "I grew...

What a great week to be in Olney. Hot & humid, but the overcast kept the sun from baking us. And all the honks and waves were for us. This week is the third week we have occupied the moonbats corner. The Rapid Transformation Force was not deployed this Saturday. We didn't have our This Corner Under New Patriotic Management or the Peaceniks Have Cut and Run signs, so we didn't get any obscene cat calls or one finger salutes. We enjoy them so much though, we'll have the signs next week. We don't want the peaceniks getting any more...

Code Pink and Cindy Sheehag are planning to "occupy" Washington, D.C. on Sep 5th. As the organizers put it, ""Camp Democracy will be held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., from September 5 to 21. This will be a camp for peace, democracy, and the restoration of the rule of law....Camp Democracy is a grassroots effort and will only succeed with the help of many, many people contributing the small amounts (of time and money) they can afford. This is our opportunity to do what the citizens of the Ukraine, of Mexico, and of other countries do when their...

"Three weeks ago, this plot of land in Crawford was covered in trees and brush. Today, it looks like the circus grounds..."

My sister had her womb removed yesterday. There was an abnormality on one ovary and now the scare of cancer looms over us. The cradle that held Casey, Carly, Andy and Janey now sits in a pathologists office in a jar. My sister lives her life for her children. All adults now they miss their mothers constant presence but understand their mothers work. They are incredibly well adjusted. As I sit in the hospital outside of Cindys room a new mom just rolled by. New baby son in her arms. I remember the night Casey was born. He was the...

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his counterparts from Texas, Arizona and New Mexico made stopping illegal immigration a central theme at their annual meeting Thursday with governors from Mexico's border states. Schwarzenegger, a Republican, and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, introduced a resolution calling for all 10 U.S. and Mexican border governors to fight criminality along the border, including drug smuggling and illegal immigration, instead of waiting for their federal governments to do the job. At the same time, the resolution called for the governors to stand against the prolonged presence of the U.S. National Guard along the...

Jeeni Criscenzo, Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives 49th California District seat currently held by Republican nominee Darrell Issa, wrote in a blog entry earlier this month from Amman, Jordan of her support for the so-called insurgency in Iraq.Criscenzo went to Amman with leaders of the anti-American group Code Pink and Sixties activist Tom Hayden to conspire with a group of anti-American Iraqi parliamentarians.On August 6, writing in her campaign Web site blog which is linked on the Daily Kos blog, Criscenzo said, "It is important to distinguish between the militia, or death squads and the resistance,...

When CODEPINK launched our hunger strike, called Troops Home Fast on July 4, our goal was to push forward a peace process in Iraq that included the withdrawal of US troops. Our efforts were rewarded when Iraqi Parliamentarians, expressing sympathy for the hunger strikers, invited us to Amman, Jordan, to break our 30-day fast and discuss how we could work together to promote a comprehensive Reconciliation Plan. On Wednesday, August 2, a 14-person delegation, including "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan, former Colonel Ann Wright, Iraq war veteran Geoffrey Millard, writer/politician Tom Hayden, Iraqi analyst Raed Jarrar and CODEPINK co-founders Medea Benjamin,...

This week is the second week we have occupied the moonbats corner while they try to elude us by changing their protest times. This particular thread is also the SECOND FReep that a dedicated group of FReepers had this Saturday in Olney. Add that to being out at Walter Reed the night before, and that's three FReeps in 24 hours. That puts BMWcyle and Apple Blossom in a group known as "The 3Fers". 3Fers are those FReepers who have attended a three FReeps in 3 days, with no full days between the FReeps. We don't want the FReepers to rest...
