Free Republic

Online Activism -- that’s a hot topic right now. I know that because a New York Times reporter called me about it… which proves that it’s hot. This was about three weeks ago. And what she wanted to know is what we conservatives are going to do, now that The Amazing Doctor Dean has demonstrated that the Internet can be used for political activism. I asked her… have you ever heard of Free Republic? --No, what’s that? You ever hear of Town Hall? -- No. You ever hear of ConservativeHQ.com? -- No. She never heard of any of this stuff....

The FRN "Freeps Ahoy" Cruise aboard the Carnival Cruise Triumph arrived back in Miami this morning. No SARS, No Norwalk, No Terrorism - just a hell of a lot of fun, food and sun! As the first cruiser back at his computer, I have the honor of starting this thread and posting the above pic, which was taken at the foot of the staircase descending into the "London Room", which was the dining room each evening for our Freeper Contingent.

Good morning, campers. Yesterday in Dallas, Texas, members of GreenPeace and other assorted leftists pestered attendees at the annual Exxon-Mobil shareholders meeting by way of expressing their loathing for free-market capitalism. As is their custom, most of the leftists managed to get themselves arrested in the process. Nothing new there. Today we're offering something a bit different -- a rally in celebration of capitalism.

JUST ANNOUNCED: CITIZENS UNITED FOUNDATION AND YOUNG AMERICA'S FOUNDATION TO SPONSOR "RALLY FOR THE TROOPS, RALLY FOR AMERICA" G. GORDON LIDDY, ANN COULTER, LAURA INGRAHAM AND OTHERS TO HOST RALLY ON THE MALL FOR THE TROOPS SATURDAY, APRIL 12TH, 2003 AT THE ELLIPSE (located on Constitution Avenue, across from White House) NOON-3PM Raise your flags and show your pride Bring your family and friends We will also be accepting donations for the troops. If you would like to bring something, they are asking for: baby wipes, sunscreen, lip balm, pre-paid international calling cards, and letters of support.

<p>Dozens of flag-waving rallies for American troops in Iraq look like spontaneous, grass-roots gatherings. But many are orchestrated by conservative political groups, just as anti-war protests are led by peace groups and activists on the political left.</p> <p>Rallies for the troops took place this weekend in cities and towns including New York, San Francisco, Miami, Cleveland, Honolulu, Jacksonville, Concord, N.H., Harrisburg, Pa., and Kingsport, Tenn. More rallies are expected.</p>

During the weekend of March 22-23, the Free Republic Network sponsored or assisted with 105 individual Rally for America events across America. Using the most conservative media estimates, at least 120,000 people attended Rally events. There were no reported arrests. All the national media outlets provided at least some coverage, with much more detailed reporting locally, and the wire services ran dozens of Rally photos. To be sure, ABCNNBCBS paid disproportionate attention to the various peace riots, but the leftists no longer own the streets. The purpose of the ongoing Rally for America is to provide ordinary Americans the...

Free Republic Network this organization is nothing but a Crazy White Racist, In CSPAN2 they have rally The Patriots Rally for America, and they have this so called Iraqi opposition calling for war against Iraq, and one of them even use the Holy Quran to justify war against a Muslim country he said he represent the people of Iraq and his organization Karbalas Islamic Center and he called him self IMAM. He did admit that no one believed him so he decided to speak in Arabic so we should believe his lies. I do not think in the Holy Quran...

We are receiving persistent reports that leftist activists plan to infiltrate Rally for America events and act in ways intended to discredit them. Outside disruptors may also provoke confrontations in hopes of irritating someone enough to take a swing at them. Don't bite! Any such events will be used to smear conservatives as violent and dangerous. Remind your troops to keep their cool. If you are involved in planning a Rally for America event, please consider assigning someone to keep an eye out for problems. You should know where the police are and how to contact them. If you decide...

Radio Free Republic is seeking volunteers to transcribe the excellent interviews done at CPAC by The Shrew and The Glaswegian. These interviews provide insights into the current thinking of the leaders of the conservative movement, and we'd like to make them available in written form after they're broadcast. There are 46 interviews, ranging in length from 5 to 42 minutes (1.7MB to 14.7MB files). I was able to transcribe The Shrew's 23-minute talk with David Horowitz in about 4 hours, to give you an idea of the effort involved. If you haven't done this before, the procedure is straightforward --...
