The Star Spangled BannerWhat does it mean... The Star Spangled Banner, What does it do for you? It's been through a lot. Composed September 14th, 1814 By Francis Scott Key after going through extraordinary circumstances gave this nation a great gift. But it wasn't recognized as the national anthem until 1916 when it was so by President Woodrow Wilson by executive order,and then it was mostly played at military events.

America still says NO to Assner, Socialists and Communists! Ed Asner is coming to Seattle to tell us the "World still says no to war" and wave the white flag of surrender to terrorists...er...wave his white banner.

The Puget Sound FReeper Chapter is one of the most active chapters in the land! (Ask Vice President Cheney.) We'll FReep at the drop of a hat. But we also have another kinder, gentler side. When out-of-town FReepers come to the Puget Sound area, we try to get the chapter together to meet with them. Last June a Denver FReeper ended up at an intimate dinner party at my place -- where he did the cooking! We have a very special FReeper out here -- doug from upland, who is visiting family on Whidbey Island. I've been on FR for...

SEATTLE - More than 5,000 people marched from Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood to Westlake Center downtown Sunday, protesting the Bush administration's policy toward Iraq. Congressman Jim McDermott addressed the crowd, telling protesters that Bush is out for war. In a short speech, the Seattle Democrat didn't talk about his recent trip to Baghdad, for which he was heavily criticized by some conservatives. Afterward, he said his critics have nicknamed him "Jihad Jim" because they have nothing intelligent to say. There were a handful of pro-Bush supporters at the rally. One person carried a sign reading: "Jihad Jim loves Saddam."

I went to the Jim McDermott Town Hall Meeting in Seattle today. A handful of FReepers were there with some excellent signs ("Go back to Bagdhad"). Unfortunately the vast majority of those attending (at least 250) in the packed room were gung-ho supporters of McDermott. Jihad Jim literally spent the entire 1 1/2 hours of his meeting bashing the USA. He said that the war on Iraq was merely a ploy by President Bush to distract the American people from the economy. He spoke of dying children in Iraq and polluted water and blamed the US. In fact he blamed...

The Washington State Puget Sound Chapter AFTER RALLY Report on Baghdad Jim McDermRAT and the Seattle Anti-War march was a great success! We arrived at Baghdad Jim’s Town Hall meeting. When McDermRAT arrived we surrounded him and called out “Stay in Baghdad” and held up signs. The sign I was especially proud of read:”Saddam GOODBush BAD”This is Bagdad Jim’s mind on drugs. LOL The quotations marks drove the lefties up the wall because they said they weren’t his exact words. I suggested they get over it. Patriot62, his friend, father, and 3 of my GOP friends were present. We asked...
