Free Republic

Aziz Al-Taee, chairman of the Iraqi-American Council, was just on FoxNews, talking about supporting the US coalition efforts to remove Saddam. Their website address was shoown on the screen, so I went there. "The Iraqi American Council is a non-sectarian, non-ethnic, non-government organization working to promote democracy and human rights in Iraq, to empower Iraqi-Americans to participate in mainstream American life and to preserve their cultural heritage." Clicking on the link of their home page: "Why Saddam? Why Now", ( http://www.iraqiamericans.com/pr/2003/pat-rall-4-amer.asp ) took me to a page, where to my surprise a FR rally was mentioned. The rally was about...

<p>NEW YORK — Freedom of speech is a right many Americans have been exercising lately in speaking out against war. But despite what’s been making headlines in the papers and getting coverage on TV, not all the demonstrations are against military action in Iraq.</p>

WASHINGTON (GOPUSA News) -- A few hundred people braved the damp cold in Washington on Saturday to wave American flags and cheer speakers on the National Mall. The "Patriot's Rally for America" was organized by the D.C. Chapter of The Free Republic, a conservative activist group. The program opened with a recitation of the Red Skelton version of the Pledge of Allegiance by Frank Davis, Capt. USNR (Ret.). It was particularly poignant since the 9th Circuit Court's ban on "under God" in the Pledge was not overturned last week. The first speaker, UPI columnist John Armor, reminded those in attendance...

Rallying For America and Supporting Our Troops This concept of Rally for America and Support Our Troop rallies have really taken off since America was shown what kind of disrespect and outright contempt some alleged Americans including Hollywood have for this great U. S. of A. on the February 15th weekend. Good and loyal Americans have been champing at the bit to put these hate filled anti-American bashers in their place for some time now but like most loyal and patriotic Americans we have to work for our families means of support. The shrill rhetoric of these quasi-Americans had...

Will need six volunteers to play Saddam Insane tomorrow. What we have planned ahould make the AP photo wire and reinforce the point that the anti-war protesters and Dan Rather have given aid and comfort to our enemy. IF YOU HAVE A CAMO BDU JACKET or SHIRT, BIG ENOUGH TO WEAR OVER YOUR JACKET, YOU MUST BRING THAT. OLIVE DRAB IN LIEU OF CAMO IS ACCEPTABLE. abner has made red and yellow "shoulder boards" that we can pin on each Saddam. The rank insignia? Alternating stars and peace symbols.

G'day, I just managed to get onto Les Kinsolving's show (which you can hear at www.wcbm.com) and discussed Freerepublic.com and the Patriot's Rally we are going to have Saturday. Being the gentleman that he is, he repeated the information I gave him 3 times.

Bob Dornan, who is the keynote speaker for the Patriot Rally in DC, was a guest on Hannity. Hannity mentioned the time, place, etc numerous times. He also talked at length of Freepers.

Long time FReeRepublic FRiend and Conservative Activist Chuck Muth included an announcement of Patriots Rally for America as the headline article in his newsletter: "The Patriots Rally for America Our friends over at the DC chapter of FreeRepublic.com invite “all FReepers and lurkers in good standing, as well as their friends and families, veterans and their friends and families and all others who want to stand up for America and support our troops to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, March 1, 2003 for the Patriots Rally for America IV from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m at the outdoor...

Silent No Longer: The Anti-Anti-War Movement Giant ‘peace’ marches are a perennial favourite of the mainstream media. During every conflict (or period of great international tension) over the last forty years television and the print media have been filled with long and flowery tributes to the unruly mobs who fill the streets of great cities to shout meaningless slogans in rallies organized by communist front groups. These groups, even though they represent a minority of public opinion, are usually presented as being both idealistic and morally correct- as righteous paragons of virtue. The right has long chafed at the sympathetic...

OK, fess up. Thanks for spreading the word!

This is important. Drop what you’re doing. Pack the car, get on a plane, a train, a bus or start walking. Our troops need your support right now! They’re laying it on the line for us overseas and all they are seeing in the media is hundreds of thousands of anti-war/anti-American demonstrators marching in our streets. As evidenced by this article Anti-war Protests Anger U.S. Troops Inside Kuwait those demonstrations are starting to affect morale. You can do something about that, but it will take time, effort and sacrifice -- a modest sacrifice compared to our men and women...
