This event was the latest of many identical events staged by the local leftists of North Carolina. On several occasions in the past, this same batch of Moonbats has clogged the streets and sidewalks of Smithfield to present their anti-America, anti-military, Bush bashing carnival. On each of these occasions, they have climaxed their treason-fest by trespassing on Aero Contractor property and indulging in 'peaceful' vandalism.

Smithfield NC -- A large protest, and a larger counter-protest caused local police to be out in full-force today here. Yet, no violence occured. Harsh words were lobbied to and fro but in the end, the event ended just as it began, passion-filled and peacefully. Katy's Conservative Corner has a number of interviews, both with the Code Pink and Victims of Torture protestors, along with counter-protestors from a Gathering of Eagles and Rolling Thunder. Up to 40 different groups were represented.

Dear Friends And Supporters: I need your help. Singer David Crosby recently smeared U.S. Troops on national TV by saying: "You know, on the one hand you've got a young kid who is patriotic, who loves his country, believes in it and he's being told, 'Yeah this is the truth and we've gotta go in there to protect your mother and your sister.’” “And he goes over and he finds out the job is killing somebody else's mother and sister." Congressman John Hall, who Represents West Point, Stewart Air Base, Camp Smith and 77,000 veterans was not bothered by this...

This is the puddle where a heroic act of lifesaving occured that evening. While I was not witness to the actual event, Mr Trooprally filled me in on the details later: During one of the downpours, our fearless leader Kristinn saw a moth helplessly flailing about in a large puddle at the entrance to Walter Reed (see photo above). With no concern for his own safety, he waded out into the aformentioned puddle until he came upon the hapless creature. Having though through the rescue attempt beforehand, he had armed himself with a leaf which he would use as a...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2007 – For volunteers with South Riding, Va.-based Operation Pinecone, Halloween is over and the Christmas rush has begun. “We have 25 camps, four hospitals (and) two humanitarian aid contacts,” said Mary Hacker, who founded the group two years ago after deciding to super-size a care package originally planned for one family friend deployed to Iraq. “A neighbor came by, saw what I was doing, and said she had wanted to do something to help the troops but that she didn’t have a contact over there,” Hacker explained. Word spread through Hacker’s rural Virginia neighborhood and,...

Surge Week ONE: Moonbats 12 - FReepers/Lurkers 9. Surge Week TWO: Moonbats 8 - FReepers/Lurkers 10. Surge Week THREE: Moonbats 6 - FReepers/Lurkers 18. The moonbats' surge started after a very negative article on DU about the Olney FReep, but nothing new there. It made the Olney FReepers sound like a bunch of Nazi goons. The moonbats had several newbies come out but they quickly cut 'n run in the following weeks. And Surge Week Three ended with only the same old senior "Quakers" in attendance. Maybe it was the U.S. Flags that the "allegiance to no Country" hypocritical "Quackers"...

It was cold, wet, nasty, windy, and miserable, when I met up with OCCASparky at Big Heads in Rochester, to continue our intermittant 1730 t0 1830 FReep against the Farmington commies. Because of a derth of willing FReepers in our area we haven't been able to make this a regular Friday affair, hint, hint, but we do what we can. About 1725 we set up at our usual spot across from the Monument unfolded our colors and awaited the arrival of the socalist scum from Farmington Peace Action. We waited for about five or eight minutes and the commie lawyer...
