Chanting such slogans as "surrender is not an option" and waving American flags, a few hundred people from across the country rallied and paraded in downtown Washington yesterday to support the war. The demonstration was sponsored by Eagles UP!, an organization founded by veterans in the wake of a war protest about a year ago that drew thousands to Washington. Although small in number, the demonstrators said yesterday that they represent many others from their home towns who believe there needs to be a more vocal counterweight to the antiwar movement. "We cannot be the silent majority again," Lawrence B....

This morning Move America Forward staged a Press Conference in Washington, DC at the National Press Club.Here are some pictures from this event. Debbie Lee, Gold Star Mother and Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward. Melanie Morgan The crowd was attentive

The speakers had just finished lamenting recent acts of vandalism at military recruiting centers and had opened the floor to questions at the National Press Club when peace activist Tighe Barry jumped up, took off his shirt and revealed the pink military tunic he was wearing underneath. "This is what I think of the Marine Corps!" he yelled. "The Marine Corps needs to be the peace corps!" Incensed, Kevin L. Martin rushed to the microphone. "Let me tell you something, dammit!" he hollered. "I'm a Navy veteran of seven years, and . . . you are a joke, sir! Please...

You guys won’t believe the scene at the National Press Club today. We at Move America Forward were releasing our investigative report on the nationwide plague of attacks against military recruiting centers. (The Sedition Report) Congressman John Carter (co-sponsor of the Semper Fi Act) was there speaking. So too was Debbie Lee, mother of the 1st Navy Seal killed in Iraq. Then, midway through the news conference, members of Code Pink, International ANSWER and Global Exchange start heckling, screaming, yelling. They said our claims of improper actions by anti-war radicals were all lies, that the anti-military activists have been nothing...

For the first time since their campaign of roving city-to-city terrorism began in Seattle several years ago, Communist/anarchist, America-hating 'anti-globalization' protesters were met by citizens determined to stand up against their violence and intimidation. Led by the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, a total of about two hundred Americans drew a 'line in the sand' at the Navy Memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. today, where nine months earlier the Communist/anarchists had assaulted the memorial by trying to tear down the flags and signals on the masts there during the inaugural parade of President George W. Bush. With America ...

Today, if you already didn't know, the moonbats have their heads in a fog. They are just lucky to be in these great United States of America where they don't have to experience the real "Fog of War". But the are unlucky to be on the butt end of this and other AARs. BELOW: The only pic of the moonbats for this thread. Their numbers keep getting fewer and fewer.

Last week’s Vietnam flashback was courtesy of the mixed nuts in Berkeley who took it upon themselves to label the local Marine recruiters “intruders” and “unwelcome.” Some people will do anything for a feelgood liberal headline. But we were heartened by the overwhelming numbers of proud and patriotic Americans standing by our defenders. And, typically for liberals, Berserkely kinda backed down under their pressure. (Hey, Mrs. Obama: plenty of folks manage to find lots to be proud of in America.) While we were distracted by the Berserkely street theater, a much more disturbing scene was unfolding in our Nation’s Capital....

On February 15th 2008, the leftist terrorist group called The Student Democrat Society(SDS) took it upon themselves to attack the Armed Forces Recruiting Station at 13th and L Streets N.W. at 18:00(6 p.m.). The violent leftists terrorists entered the recruiting station and proceed to trash the place of their own free accord as DC Police simply stoodby and did nothing about it. The terrorists took joy in reporting and recording their terrorist actions(http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/142455/index.php). This is the second time that DC Police have stoodby as the terrorists who call themselves the SDS have runamuck in the city, this past summer they...

Yesterday, February 15, about a dozen or so hard-core leftists gathered outside of the Armed Forces Recruiting Station at 8202 Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring MD, from 4-6pm. There to counter them and support the troops was Free Republic. World Can't Wait staged a series of protests at 6 military recruitment centers across the US.
