Please access the link here and read my message to radio talkshow host Rush Limbaugh. It discusses the unethical strategy of the American mainstream news media. There are 16,889 homicides per year in America, but all that we hear from the mainstream media is their envious opposition to our war effort in Iraq. ~Scott~

It was a bright morning on Wednesday, September 28th as I neared the Military Recruitment Center at 2302 E.Speedway in Tucson, Arizona. For some time now "peace" activists had been gathering there to hinder Armed Forces recruitment during wartime. Although technically illegal under US Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 115, § 2388, * no federal agency would dare break the silent code of pretended ignorance that protects American liberals engaged in criminal activity. And if the Feds wouldn't arrest anyone under that law, neither would the local constabulary, according to a Tucson Police Officer. However, the "Raging Commies Grannies"...

Part of an email I received yesterday from a USMC Master Gunnery Sergeant, serving in Iraq: I think you would be amazed at the morale of the young military people here. I know I am. I’ve been in for over 28 years and I have seen good and bad. These youngsters are getting the job done in a way I would never have imagined. They go on convoys, get shot at or have IEDs go off, then they return still in high spirits. The trick here is to convince the bad guys they have been beat. The idiots at the...

Hello all. I am the guy in the cowboy hat and Club G'itmo shirt on 24 September during the counter protest. Can the official Free Republic photographer post or send the pictures he took of me and Lindsey on Saturday (Club G'itmo and straw cowboy hat) as well as the one he took of me on Sunday (wearing ACLU Enemy of the State shirt)? Have not found them yet, but have found lots of other GREAT pictures. Also, I am the guy who alerted the police to a suspicious person, in the middle of the crowd, during G. Gordon Liddy's...

Freeper Canteen On A Mission Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to honor and appreciate at least one member of the armed forces by some act of conscious premeditated behavior.  Consider the following, if you will.... The inspiration:On a thread here on FR the other day, one FReeper was doing his thing trying to motivate folks to get out and show their support for our troops at the "Support The Troops and Their Mission" weekend rally in Washington D.C.  While I would absolutely LOVE to be a part of that, realistically, it's impossible for me at...

On Saturday, September 24, 2005, thousands from Colorado and our neighboring states will come together in a show of force, unity, and action at 12:30 pm on the west steps of our state Capitol. The 3 November Movement, a broad coalition of groups and individuals, is organizing a rally for peace and justice to coincide with a nationwide protest during the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Our rallying cry: Get US Out Now: out of Iraq, and out of our complacency and into action.

Hello to all of you wonderful people out there who have stood strongly and resolutely behind our troops. This is Deborah Johns writing to you, the proud mother of a U.S. Recon Marine who has already served 2 tours of duty in Iraq and will soon return for a 3rd tour. Last month I led, in conjunction with Move America Forward, the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" caravan to Crawford, Texas.  We had over 3,500 supporters of the men and women of our military, and it was an event that made me feel so proud to be an American. ...

As Congress this week honored parents whose sons or daughters have been killed in Iraq, some families said Cindy Sheehan and her anti-war group do not represent them and are disrespecting the fallen soldiers. "You can't call into question the integrity of the commander in chief without having it call into question the integrity of those under his command," said Diane Ibbotson, whose son Army Cpl. Forest Jostes, 21, died in April 2004 outside Baghdad. "Let's talk about the things they've accomplished," she said, listing the end of Saddam Hussein's dictatorship, Iraq's first free elections, and the building of schools...

War Protests Will Devastate Morale Says VFW Chief WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- News reports about a large anti-war rally in Washington this weekend are deeply troubling to the new national commander of the nation's largest organization of combat veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. "Our concern isn't with fellow Americans exercising their First Amendment rights to be heard," said Jim Mueller, the VFW's new commander-in-chief. "Our concern is how their political protest messages will be perceived by the 2.2 million American military personnel who protect and defend those freedoms daily," he explained. "Our concern is for...

I just received a phone call from C-SPAN informing me that they will broadcast live in it's entirety the Rally to Honor Military Families this Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. EDT.We're hoping for a large turnout so our troops overseas will know that what happens the day before the rally with the antiwar crowd does not reflect the majority of the country.Please join us this Sunday at 4th Street on the National Mall (near the Air & Space Museum) as we pay tribute to military families, and their loved ones serving in our armed forces fighting the war on...

Leading the anti-military crowd will be Cindy Sheehan, who this week once again exploited the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Sheehan, writing a guest commentary on Michael Moore's website, said the following: "One thing that truly troubled me about my visit to Louisiana was the...

Have you had enough of entertainers and the liberal bias news media bashing President George W. Bush, our military operations, and veterans simply because the Democrats have lost power? Have you tired of the over-reporting of Cindy Sheehan who is destroying her own son's military legacy? Is it time for Sean Penn to stay in acting with his high school diploma instead of trying to be a politician? Are you sick of the mainstream news media reporting bogus liberal bias poll results to attempt to swing public opinion their way? Are you angry at the over-reporting of the military prisoner...

Lest we forget the meaning of 9-11 14.SEP.05 Have you forgotten? As our great country was attacked, America came together as a true united states. We took the fight to Afghanistan and then trimmed the Al Qaida monster to nothing in Iraq, establishing a democratic government in both countries and exposing them to the life of the free. There is nothing that terrorists hate more than the free helping others to be free. Well, Mr. Terrorist, nice try but you have failed. How does it feel to meet the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and the hardened American citizen...

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld is scheduled to deliver these remarks Sunday during a wreath-laying ceremony in observance of Sept. 11, 2001, at Arlington National Cemetery. Chaplain James May. Families and friends of those we are here to honor. We gather here, in this place of remembrance, to reflect on a day when terrorists--extremists--struck at the heart of a free people. A day when Americans lost mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters and friends and colleagues. They came from different cultures, different races and different backgrounds. But what united them all was that they had hopes...
