Tonight, eleven FReepers/patriots stood on the opposing corner from four peaceniks who were holding signs that said things like, "These colors don't run the world," and, "Bush lied and soldiers died." What dopes! Someone has to stand up on the side of our troops and President Bush. So we continue to show up and rally America-loving Fresnans and ask them to honk to show support for the troops who are serving our country so all Americas can continue to enjoy the freedom won so many times by our military in the past. Fresno's motorists never disappoint us. After the FReep,...

A poster in another thread said she saw a report of a poll that Iraqi citizens support our troop presence by about 65-70%. She wasn't sure where she saw it, but thought it was either Fox or MSNBC today, June 20. Did anyone else see that or know where I can obtain the details of that poll? Thanks!

Tonight there were sixteen FReepers/patriots who showed up to show continued support for our troops and President Bush.

UNITED STATES SENATOR ILLINOIS DICK DURBIN P R E S S R E L E A S E For Immediate Release Contact: Melissa Merz (202) 224-7028 December 17, 1998 DURBIN STATEMENT ON MILITARY ACTION AGAINST IRAQ I fully support President Clinton and our national security team's decision to take swift action against Saddam Hussein. The attack against this dictator should come as no surprise. The record clearly shows that he has harassed American and United Nations inspectors, ordered the destruction of important documents in anticipation of inspections and hampered the ability of inspectors to carry out their mission. His defiant...

British Muslim students in Syria support suicide raids By Damien Mcelroy in Damascus (Filed: 11/05/2003) British muslims studying at a radical Islamic teaching centre in Syria have admitted that they support suicide attacks against Israeli targets. Two men, who gave their names as Amir Aziz and Tahir Sharaf, told The Telegraph that they admired the action taken by Asif Mohammed Hanif, the Briton who blew himself up in a Tel Aviv bar almost two weeks ago, and his alleged accomplice, Omar Khan Sharif. "What [Hanif] did was right," said Aziz, in a thick Birmingham accent. "The Muslim people are under...

MILITARY AIRFARE REDUCTION Position Statement Did you know that the men and women actively serving our Country in the military are paying for their own flights home during leave, and – in many instances – are paying higher fares than you? As a result of this, many of them are unable to come home as they cannot afford the airfare. Why don’t they take advantage of the low purchase-in-advance tickets that the airlines offer? Many of them are unable to book their tickets in advance as their leaves are not always granted 21, 14 or even 7 days in...

Georgia Supreme Court Abolished Human Rights May 6, 2003 By Roger F. Gay On April 29th, the Georgia state supreme court issued a decision that dramatically reformulates the relationship between individuals and the state. The state was granted unlimited power to act arbitrarily against individuals. The foremost line of defense, individual rights that are regarded as "unalienable" by the United States Constitution, has in effect been abolished. In Georgia Department of Human Resources v. Sweat et al., the high court overturned a lower court decision that found the state's child support laws unconstitutional. (related article) Current law prescribes the...

It is with astonishment that I write about a situation that is so narcissistically absurd that one would think it could only happen in California under the watchful eye of the liberal-left. Yet, amazingly, it is happening right here in the Midwest, in Riverside, Illinois and could be happening wherever apathy condones political correctness. It would seem that there are some, I like to call them the vocal minority, who find the harmless yellow ribbons that are affixed to the trees of the neighborhoods in this established American community visually obnoxious. The ribbons “are unsightly and not in keeping with...

Tho it was not our regular opponents, we were greeted by 13 protestors tonight. I'm still not sure what they were protesting. "Resist Plutocracy" ..... what? "Oust Bush in 2004." Maybe they are like us and don't know what else to do on a very nice Friday evening. The Peace Fresno group appears to have given up for awhile. Those on the opposite corner seem to be a few Bush Haters who joined the Peacenics. It will be interesting to see how long they continue their agenda. Hey ..... they left a half hour early tonight. Guess the paymaster was...

Oppose the Islamists by Supporting the Nomination of Daniel PipesBy Andrew L. Jaffee, 4/24/2003 ACT NOW! - SUPPORT THE PIPES APPOINTMENT In a recent interview Daniel Pipes described Islamism as: a modern, 20th century ideology, arising at roughly the same time as fascism and Marxist-Leninism. It is attractive to a small percentage of Muslims. It is a mechanism, a blueprint, for taking over governments and running societies. It is something very different from Islam. He added: And, by the way, the first victims of militant Islam, or Islamism, are Muslims themselves. We can join together, Muslim and non-Muslim, to...
