Free Republic

"Drive out the Bush Regime, the world can't wait" is their chant, but I chant with them saying SADDAM can't wait. This group will be having anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-American protests all over the nation on Thursday, October 5th, 2006. Click here for the list of where World Can't Wait will be in your city.

After unexpected rain for this morning's Rapid Transformation Force (RTF) FReep, this afternoon was sunny and warm. The flags, banners and signs got a chance to dry out while we were FReeping. FReeper roll call included Cindy_True_Supporter (CTS), GunsareOK, [Mrs] Trooprally ([Mrs] T), Lurker Bill and once again his daughter, and myself. [Mrs] T took the pictures so there are no pics of her today. Moonbat Maroons: ZERO - FReepers: VICTORY!!After weeks of the moonbats changing their protest time, and the last 3 weeks of the moonbats holding their anti-American protests at 10:30AM, we have declared VICTORY in our regular...

The moonbats know as Quakers and MOBILIZING MOTHERS were spotted by the scout Mr. Trooprally after breakfast. The alarm went out the team deployed. Earlier this week Dr.Raoul at the internet intelligence monitoring site found a lefty bragging about one of their criminal activities. The commie had vandalized the Montgomery Country military recruiting center. The cowards did their deeds late at night. As one of my good friends says, “The only things the leftist can do is destroy. They never build or create anything.” Member of the DC Chapter called the police but of course they did nothing. Montgomery Country...

with photos by [Mrs]Trooprally, Upchuck, and GW student Luke Washington, DC, September 22, 2006-- It's a balmy Indian summer evening, and all four corners of the entrance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center are swarming with nearly 70 FReepers and a Freeping dog. A man in a red "Free Republic 10 Year Anniversary" ball cap takes in the scene from his vantage point near the Mother of All Banners on the northeast corner. It is Jim Robinson, Free Republic's founder, who flew in from California for this special Free Republic weekend in the nation's capital for honoring the troops. Photo...

"Like all the people in this tent and all the people on the stage, I have a strong preference for trouble-making.” So said a prominent participant at Code Pink and NOW “Women for Peace” Day at their encampment deceptively named “Camp Democracy” on the National Mall last week. The day included music, movies, speeches, panels and an appearance by leftist Howard Zinn. I’ve sat in on a number of leftist conferences and this one seemed rather normal at first sight. There was a mock cemetery, using the deaths of our service members as political leverage against President Bush and the...

Protestors lie on the floor of the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2006 before being arrested for civil disobedience. A group of protestors including members from the Code Pink group and other pro-peace organizations gathered around Capitol Hill buildings before legally entering Hart and being arrested for lying down and singing peace songs in the main lobby." "Protestors lie on the floor, as others are arrested, in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2006."

Thanks to the help of the American Legion, my homeboys, we had a great day. In attendance were Lurker Bill and Legionnaires Glenn, Halsey ,Frank and myself, Mrs T. I want to thank my guys for coming to the 3PM freep after attending an AL yard sale all day. They also had a function that afternoon at 5PM. Even thought the wind was blowing and kept clouding up, the honks were outstanding. We did give up going out for our morning Rapid Transformation Force. It was not done in the AM but we stood this afternoon. We wanted our loyal...

SOME OF YOU are hitting my site regularly, waiting with great anticipation for my latest report on the Friday Code Pink protest outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center. You're waiting in vain. I wasn't at Walter Reed on Friday. Instead, I had dinner with my family. No, not my blood family; I dined with my military brothers and sisters, many of whom are missing a limb or two. That's right: instead of rallying to express support for our wounded warriors outside Walter Reed, I broke bread with them at the Capitol Hill Club. (Thanks again Dave, for the invite!) No...

While waiting outside the Cannon House office Building on Capitol Hill today, what to my wondering eyes should appear but Code Pink leader Jodie Evans and five Pinko lackeys climb out of a chauffer driven Cadillac Escalade.I walked over to Jodie and called out to get her attention. She stopped long enough for me to introduce myself (we've met many times before). I said to her, "A Cadillac Escalade, Jodie?" in a voice that expressed mock shame and disappointment. Jodie recoiled while her lackeys fumed at being called out for their blatant hypocrisy. Point made, I walked away.A few minutes...

#74-Pinkos SMASHed at Walter Reed - September 15The Army (BlackFive), Navy (Citizen SMASH), Air Force (Tantor) and Marines (Major Pain) converged on the sidewalks in front of Walter Reed to deliver a stinging message to the Code Pink commies. Double Trouble - Citizen SMASH and Maj Pain survey the battleground. Citizen SMASH came to Washington on official gummint business but he did not leave his passion for pestering Pinkos in San Diego. Week after week he’s joined the FReepers at Walter Reed celebrating and thanking our wounded heroes. He’s also been winning “hearts and minds” among the commies waaaaay down...

RAPID TRANSFORMATION FORCE REPORT No. 4:We were out there raining on the Moonbats once again along with Mother Nature. The moonbats have tried picking a different time each week that would shake the D.C. Chapter's Rapid Transformation Force. They failed once again!!! The moonbats arrived around 10:35AM. By 10:45 the RTF was in place. The Force's roll call included Cindy_True_Supporter (CTCTS [Mrs] Trooprally ([Mrs] T), and myself. [Mrs] T took some pictures but a heavy drizzle started after we arrived and kept her from taking more. So we weren't able to get all that we wanted. Also, Mr. Bull Horn...

SOMETIMES you see a man with a short haircut, athletic build and a military bearing, and you think to yourself, "I bet that man is a Marine." With Major Pain, there is no question. You know he is a Marine. Which makes him an ideal wingman for me when it's time to confront Code Pink and friends about their rude and disrespectful treatment of our soldiers outside Walter Reed Army Hospital. SMASH and Major Pain survey the field of battle There are about a dozen or so protesters there on Friday night. On any given evening, one or two of...

Photos by Plea Deal and [Mrs] Trooprally WASHINGTON, DC, 9/08/06-- Two officers in full camo uniforms waved enthusiastically as their vehicle exited Walter Reed Army Medical Center to be greeted by our troop-support rally spread over the four corners of the gates. We had arrived and had set up our displays while they were inside the hospital visiting wounded members of their unit. Seeing the DC Chapter's huge banners and dozens of U.S. flags, they wheeled their vehicle back around and stopped at the northwest corner to talk with the young people who were gathered there to hold signs, wave...

Species8472 was our Guest of Honor this past weekend. He is from Alaska and was in Olney for the morning Rapid Transformation Force FReep and the regularly scheduled 3PM FReep. We had some time between the RTF FReep and the 3PM FReep and we all had a great time talking about Alaska. It was neat looking at his pics of Alaska, especially the one of him shoveling the snow off his ROOF!!! The roofs in Alaska have steeply pitched roofs so snow falls of of them easier. Species8472 gets 600-1000 FEET of snow a year. So I can't complain about...

This past Friday I went back to Walter Reed, hoping to get some more interviews with the Code Pink protesters. But Bruce Wolf, the Code Pink bouncer, is on to my game. Bruce: Sir, please leave... I’m not trying to be fascist or something... SMASH: No, hopefully not! Nobody wants that... Bruce: But it’s making people feel uncomfortable... We’re not here to do interviews... What we’re thinking about, to be really honest, are the soldiers. You know, whether you believe us or not, that’s what we’re here for... when soldiers come out, we like to talk to them, because we...

So much for free speech in the nation’s capital and capitol. On July, 11, 2006 I was arrested for offering a citizen’s voice in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing against the nomination of one of the Bush administration’s architects of torture, William Haynes, former Department of Defense General Counsel (chief civilian lawyer) for a life-time appointment to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Yesterday, September 7, I appeared in the Criminal Division of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on charges of “Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct on the United States Capitol Grounds on July 11, 2006.” During that...

'Prisoner swap will defuse tension' By Christian Henderson in Beirut Jackson: Negotiating the release would defuse that second round On August 28, Reverend Jesse Jackson, the US civil rights leader, met Lebanese government and Hezbollah officials as part of his bid to secure the release of three Israeli soldiers seized before the July 12 eruption of hostilities along the Lebanon-Israel border. Jackson, who is meeting political and religious leaders in the Middle East as the head of a 10-member ecumenical delegation, also held talks with Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, and Hamas leader Khaled al-Meshaal in Damascus. Jackson is a...

Fall just around the corner and the sun returning to the bi-state/district area, the moonbat spotting patrol was out in full force watching for Commie Cowards littering the streets. With a combined force from Maryland, Virginia, and Alaska, the patrols combed the avenues. The weather allowed for greater forces to be deployed. As the forward patrol passed the usual battleground, the alarm was sounded. Deploy, deploy they have been spotted. The first group arrived on the LZ. Dave Shultz was on one end of our position with his signs for his political run. Vote for Dave because he is running...

On Friday, Tropical Storm Ernesto and I went to Walter Reed. Emily baked some homemade Cinnabon for the troops and the kids made some cards. I also took Anissa and Hannah with me. While there, we met again with SFC Norris Galatas. My main purpose for going was to speak with the Command Sergeant Major of the hospital about the treatment that Norris got after his last surgery. He was treated very rough and it was uncalled for. When we arrived, Janis (his wife) took my daughters to go feed the fish and spend some time away. Norris and I...
