In the marvelous writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, there was a group of dedicated warriors who protected their people by fighting bravely against the forces of darkness. These fighters for freedom were called Rangers.
In our nation's history, the U.S. Army's elite Ranger force scaled the cliffs at Normandy in our fight against the Nazis. Heroics is what Rangers do, freedom is what they fight for, protecting the nation is their reason to be.
One single Ranger is giving his all to protect America, not only in legislatively supporting proactive military action abroad, but building fences and speaking out concerning border security at home. His name is Duncan Hunter. He is scaling a cliff that many say is impossible; namely his run for the White House. Rangers do the impossible, because the alternative is unacceptable.
The congressman has a loyal group of activists who write letters to the editor, post on websites, call in talk-radio shows, and run blogs. These folks have been affectionately labeled "Hunter's Rangers". One of the more interesting creations of this group of supporters is a weekly webcast on Thursday evenings at 9:00 PM Eastern. To listen in, the live stream can be found at: http://www.monksmedia.com/
Aragorn son of Arathorn, was a Ranger in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. He eventually became king. Duncan Hunter would never seek to be a king, but as President of the United States he would serve the nation and protect his people from the darkness. Rangers do that.

DH PING
if only... but alas I don’t think the right candidate will win.
Well, I plan to work to ensure that he does.
Power to you. I donated but I feel the MSM will not let him get any traction. At least he is getting topics out in the open and causing the others to deal with them.
Duncan Hunter was interviewed yesterday on Mark Levin’s radio talk show. Just great.
You can go to Mark Levin web site
or MarkLevinFan web site and get the replay of it.
As do I.
Nice!
I noticed, that while Duncan Hunter has been in CA doing whatever needs to be done there to help, from the beginning, none of the news reports have mentioned his name. We have heard the endless list of Democrats and of course Arnold, but I don’t think even the President thanked him. Though I doubt Hunter noticed, I did.
Thanks for the ping. B4DH.
You know, pissant. I don’t understand why so many people have no backbone - no spirit - no determination to see that justice is done anymore! Instead of whining, why don’t they roll up their sleeves and say, I will give my all to do my part in seeing that the RIGHT man gets the nomination, against any and all odds! THAT is the America I remember! THAT is the America I respect and love. THAT is the America which will prevail in the future! No more second best for me.
I'll have to tune into that show now...
Duncan Hunter won against an 18-year Dem incumbent 28 years ago, in a 2 - 1 Dem district. He was considered a long shot then. Sound familiar? :)
Don’t underestimate Hunter. He’s a Ranger.
I take this with a HUGE grain of salt, because Pew is left leaning, but Pew polls stated that the majority of people couldn’t name any Republican candidate.
Even if that’s HALF true, it shows that many folks haven’t started to pay attention yet, so there’s plenty of time to support Duncan Hunter.
I’ve read that editor’s letters are read more than any other part of the newspaper, so please write your Duncan Hunter letter soon.
Plus, it’s one of the things Hunter asks us to do on his website. :)
:)
I did see Duncan Hunter on CNN while I was at the gym.
>>>I don’t understand why so many people have no backbone - no spirit - no determination to see that justice is done anymore!
One of my favorite stories that explains that mindset.

The Price of Free Corn!
Awesome man and it irks me that he hasn’t even been mentioned during this fire catastrophe. All I’ve seen is frickin’ democrats doin’ what they do best...flappin’ their gums just to run somebody down.
As usual, thanks for the ping pissant.
As did I. Funny how the senators stood w/ the POTUS and the Gubenator, but not a Congressman in sight.... Hmmm.
I like the Tolkien analogy. Thank you for the thread!
Your wisdom is only exceeded by your kind heart and gentle manner...
:)
Way ahead of ya’!

Clipped and added to the Archives (this morning)!
Duncan Hunter on Mark Levin Show 10-24-2007
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K12qgCuwuc
Hunter was also on Prissy Matthews show last night...I’ll post that later if I get time this evening.
Yeah that’s all fine and well, but beside you, myself, and the other 2% ( at best ) that will vote for him how does that equate to a win? We have been trying to spread the Gospel for 2007 years and still have less the 35-40% of the world enlightened. You think you can raise the 2% to a winning margin by late February with all that marvelous press coverage he gets.
Outside of this forum where hunter is well-known I talk to conservatives ( not Freepers ) who still barely know his name because they are getting their news from tv. How do he intend on remedying that lack of coverage? The ones I know know more about Fred ( in the race what a month now ) than they do Hunter. At least I can find solace in the fact they all won’t vote Rooty. I talk and point out his record and direct them to his web page and the next time I see them they are still uninformed. He has a lot of mainstream apathetics he needs to get in touch with.
At some point it will come down to trying to ensure some sort of a conservative wins the nod to keep Rooty out.
..you are a force as well as a celebrity ; - )
Not to worry. The Christian Right has not chimed in yet, and I suspect endorsements from there will run to Hunter...
Well if they do not start chiming in soon before you know it ( 10 weeks from now ) Rudy will win a couple of primaries while the conservative base is in a 3 way split and we end up getting that knucklehead which keeps 10-20% of Republicans home in November ( myself included ) just enough to elect Rooty’s evil twin sister.
I noticed Lady Di and the Rinonator standing behind the president today. Like, why would you want a representative of the district who had his own home destroyed by fire there?
I have discovered that there is an "establishment" even in this group which does not necessarily speak for the masses. Even bloggers have picked up on this.
Those who are in the tank for Romney and Huckabee do not speak for the rest of us...
I am hoping so... with the exception of a few true conservative radio/bloggers we have found that most of the Conservative media is shilling for Rudy- absolutely astounding to me, and not expected (especially from Shawn Hannity). We still have to see, but the heavy hitters haven't said anything yet (how 'bout it Rush? are you a Conservative first?).
Don't worry too much, as the right endorsements can turn him around in a day. Money would be good, but PRESS would be better.
It doesn't matter to me, because Hunter will appear on my ballot come hell or high water (with the only exception being if Tanc has a serious shot and Hunter bows out).
Sorry for #25, Wildcat, it was meant for Resolute Conservative...
Neither do they speak for the heavy hitters in their own org... And let's not forget the Catholics either... They have not made any endorsement either...
Duncan's been on local TV news a LOT these past few days.
..absolutely!
Many of us are not interested in 'some sort of conservative'. We have Duncan Hunter, a real conservative.
Duncan’s been busy:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1916071/posts
Yeah, LOCAL TV news. I live in central California and don’t get your local stations. I do get LA stations. I haven’t Dunc anywhere.
You don’t have to convince me. I know he has just because I know the type of person he is. I want it to be broadcast from every news station there is.
He’s been taking care of his constituency so any news would not be about him, but about the fires.
He lost his home in the Cedar Fires in 2003 and was about to spend their first night in the new home when they had to evacuate!
Can you imagine?
It’s just nuts. That’s all there is to it.
PING 22
You said it!
Please add me to your Duncan Hunter Ping list!
Got it! Thanks.
The Christian Right has not chimed in yet, and I suspect endorsements from there will run to Hunter...”

I’m a member of the Conservative Right and only today made my decision for the candidate I’ll be backing for the nomination....
Duncan Hunter.
Because I’m a Christian first and a Republican 2nd.
That’s a really cool article.
Christian, American, Conservative, and Republican. In that order.
We're on the internet...can't we use that to get Mr. Hunter elected? The MSM will try to get Rudy or some other Liberal RINO elected, of course. Why do they get to choose OUR candidate?
Such is the lot of truly hard working people...
MSM never credits him with anything and when he’s interviewed, they rarely mention that he’s running for POTUS.
It bugs me, too.
Cool!
most of the christian right i know was pushing huckabee.
was. a couple minutes of talking to them has turned them on to hunter.
