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...

All FReepers and lurkers in good standing are urged to join the D.C.

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...

FRiends, HBO has begun airing the documentary which records the events before, during and after one of our friends from Walter Reed was wounded.This documentary IS NOT for the faint of heart.It is REAL.

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...

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic needs your help this coming weekend. Code Pink and Cindy Sheehan will be holding a 24-hour protest in front of the White House starting Saturday, May 13th.

Compared with other years, this year's WHCA FReep was no disappointment. The theme of our counterprotest this year was "Pulitzer Prizes for Treason" given that Dana Priest and others are receiving Pulitzer Prizes for reporting illegally leaked information. There were several signs that alluded to what is going on (only in America), including this brilliant one by BufordP: This point was further reinforced by our very own...

NEW YORK Saturday night’s much-awaited White House Correspondents Dinner, featuring appearances by President Bush, George Clooney and Valerie Plame, among others, kicked off with a round of cocktail parties scattered over two floors at the Washington Hilton. At the Reuters’ party you could get a drink called The Cheney Shot—made with Wild Turkey. Over 2700 attendees were expected. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter of the Doobie Brothers, a guest of The Washington Times, was dressed in a kilt. About 15 protestors from the conservative Web site Free Republic raised a fuss outside on a sunny evening, passing out baby pacifiers with “CNN”...

Two Year Background I'm repeating, with modifications, some of the background from the last two reports, in case there are any newcomers reading this. That is because of the anniversary dates that have occurred. The one year anniversary of the April 15, 2005 first of our regular Friday FReeps at Walter Reed passed last Saturday.  We will have a commemoration of this anniversary on Friday, April 21, the first FReep following that anniversary date for the Friday FReeps. The commemoration is to honor our troops, especially those wounded and being treated, that we have been proud to support for over...
