We were outnumbered by the moonbats this Saturday but we were NOT out-honked or out-supported this week.

    President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday said Iran bore no hatred towards the United States as he held talks with American Christians in a rare official contact with visitors from Tehran's arch enemy. State television showed Ahmadinejad meeting with a dozen American representatives from various Christian orders who are in Iran for a week-long visit to promote peace and dialogue between the foes. "The Iranian nation does not have any feeling of hatred and opposition towards the American people and we believe that all people are respectful and given the common grounds people have, they could achieve peace and justice," Ahmadinejad...

    Yes, Hurricane Hannah is spelled correctly, according to our granddaughter, HANNAH. The daughter of our Marine son stationed in Camp Lejeune, NC was a little upset this week because the biased media didn’t spell the hurricane’s name correctly. The AAR thread title is pretty bland this week but I had a hard time thinking of one. Some thoughts were: FReepers take on Hannah, or Dumb FReepers take on Hannah, or Moonbat witches melt in wake of Hannah, our 8 year old granddaughter, or Our Troops have it Worst, or ???, you decide.

    This Labor Day Weekend was different in Olney. It seemed that we got more waves and honks than other Saturdays. Maybe our supporters were buoyed by our troops’ successes in Iraq, maybe it was McCain’s announcement of Sarah (In 2012) Palin as his VP, maybe they were just glad to see us on the corner while so many were thinking only off a 3 day weekend. No matter, it was a very good day to be supporting our troops. The list of 11 patriots taking time out from the holidays to support our troops were once again, 3 WWII Legionnaires...

    After dissing Russia last week, the moonbats (BELOW) had a Sit-In in support of Georgia this Saturday, complete with posters. The posters above and behind the moonbats say: (LEFT SIDE) "RUSSIA, Hands Off Poland, Ukraine, Baltic States" (CENTER) "Russia, Out of Georgia, Now". Another sign to the right, but out of site of the moonbats but in clear view of the cars that pass by, says: "Russia, Make Vodka, Not War, Now". That idea is courtesy of FReeper \/\/ayne. Also, the white hatted moonbat, 4th from left, isn't holding her regular "Hands Off Iran" sign. Any one for herding cats?...

    The WORLD PEACERS of the Quakers (aka the Quackers) and PeaceActionMC supported Georgia this Saturday - sort of. While all the anti-war, no, anti-U.S. anarchists, are always protesting against ONLY the democracies in the world, they never seem to protest against the dictators, terrorists and real aggressors around the world. There are some even comparing Russia to the U.S. lead coalition in Iraq. But as was heard on a conservative talk show (forgot who), Georgia is a fairly democratic society, with a duly elected government. Iraq surrendered in 1991 and was to abide by the terms of the surrender, which...

    I’m not going to name any presidential candidates in this column. But it is true that the question of whether or how we should conduct a war against terrorism is a part of the national debate now going on. Nor am I talking just about politicians. There is a discussion group in my church (Episcopalian) who read with favor the works of an Irish theologian who believes that Christianity’s purpose is the creation of a pacifist, secular government on Earth. This, however, is not a new concept. The same idea, that all war is “unChristian,” was present at the time...

    "TYPICAL" is now a word back into our vocabulary. Possibly the one who recently uttered this word can really unite these United States by saying all of us are "Typical" Americans. But I think NOT. We are going to give the "typical moonbat" top billing this week because the pics are so "good". "Typical" had become a divisive word for those on the receiving end unless one is a PATRIOT, defending our freedoms and standing up for those who defend it. We relish in being called a "TYPICAL AMERICAN", or even a "Typical FReeper". But to call a moonbat a...

    HAYWARD, Calif. -- A Quaker math instructor who was fired by Cal State East Bay after she refused on religious grounds to sign a state loyalty oath has been reinstated, university officials said Friday. Marianne Kearney-Brown, a pacifist, was concerned that signing the oath to "support and defend" the California and U.S. constitutions "against all enemies, foreign and domestic" could commit her to take up arms. She was fired Feb. 28 after she inserted the word "nonviolently" before "support and defend" and signed that version.

    If the saying about "In like a lion, out like a lamb" is true, I'm looking forward to better weather for the March 15 Support the Troops March (In particular, check out Posts 89 and 101) and Walter Reed's 3 Year Anniversary. Winds were at a constant 20 MPH with gusts up to 35 MPH. Being in the upper 40s there was no real wind chill. But being so windy, none of our banners were put up. I felt naked without the "grassy knoll" behind us full of banners. We did put up the large flags on our flanks and...

    As at Walter Reed the night before Olney, sick FReepers and bad weather kept our troops' supporters down. The same continued into Saturday morning. But our small numbers did NOT keep down the warm support we received from the locals as they drove by. Our few but proud and enthusiastic PATRIOTS included Legionnaires Halsey (USMC - Korea), Frank (Army - Korea), and Lurker Bill, iMacMan,, and my self, [Mr] T. iMacMan took all the great pics this week, but alas, there are none of him this week. We had 3 cars while stopped at the lights, thanking us for supporting...

    Friday night at Walter Reed was mild but windy, but this morning at Olney was very chilly and windy. Do I hear violins yet from our northern FReepers? Our saving grace was Pam Cole from Blue Star Mothers of Maryland, who brought ALL us hot cocoa from Starbucks. The "Old Line Chapter" was formed this past July 01, 2007. BELOW TOP: Pam arriving with the hot cocoa. BELOW BOTTOM: Chilly FReepers gathering like bears to a honey pot. BELOW: We also had a Joe Falcione (at left of pic) from www.reliantfilms.net stop by.

    NOT!!! Reflections - a photographer's worst nightmare. While sunny days are tough when the sun is in the back ground, cloudy days are tough from any angle. iMacMan had his problems this week taking his famous pics of passing cars. The windows showed everything. But iMacMan persevered. BELOW are this weeks pics. Not sure how iMacMan does it but he always gets some great pics, reflections and all. We once again had 10 "PATRIOTS" today. Our group included Legionnaires Glenn (USMC - Iwo Jima) Halsey (USMC - Korea), Frank (Army - Korea), and Lurker Bill, BMWcyle, Fraxinus, iMacMan, VAFlagWaver, [Mrs]...

    iMacMan's and [Mrs] T's pics were so good this week, that I decided to post all but a few. For those with dial up, I believe your wait will be well worth it. ____________________________________________ No matter who you rooted for in the Super Bowl, both teams wore Red, White & Blue. This past Saturday we rooted for a special team, our military and the "Patriots" who support them. BELOW: Me and Fraxinus. BELOW: We had several vehicles pass by that really appreciated our presence. And then iMacMan caught our supportive "Patriots". He really shot some superb pics this week. And...

    After last week's 6 hour FReep, this week was "boring" except for our support from passing cars and some passerbys who stopped by. The moonbat's "He's not a real Marine", after being out lasted last Saturday by the Olney FReepers, packed up when the moonbats all left. We are not sure how he got to the corner this week, but he left walking with his card board signs and camo Marine flag. Then he had to come back and retrieve a dumb bell that he some how used to support his flag. We thought that maybe he got his second...

    Our moonbat "marine" decided that he didn't like our cries of "Cut & Run", "Wimps", "Traitors", etc., when the moonbats were breaking down at 11:30AM. He decided to hold a one person anti-troop demonstration of his own, with card board signs that drivers could hardly read. With the camo Marine flag and no other moonbats around, it almost looked like he supported our troops. But with the lack of honks directed towards him, I guess his 'signs' were just readable enough for cars to know that he is NO troop supporter. Neither is he a Marine as Legionnaire Glenn (USMC...

    Something different happened in Olney today. The weather was in the upper 40s with a slight wind, not weather one would expect the car windows to be open. But the support we received today from passing cars made it seem like a warm, sunny spring day, especially in our spirit. iMacMan captured some unusual photos of our supporters. It is always heart warming and inspiring to receive the numerous waves and honks, but upon reviewing iMacMan's pictures this week, well it was ... well, I just got a warm fuzzy feeling of pride just looking at the pics. If [Mrs]...

    The Olney FReeper were high spirits with Santa Claus on our corner this Saturday. And so were the passing cars. We seemed to get an extra amount of honks today.

L - R: Cindy_True_Supporter, Lurker Bill's daughter, Fraxinus, SANTA, Halsey, Glenn and me. Lurker Gary showed up a little later. Lurker Bill was around somewhere.

    ONE HUNDRED WEEKS in Olney!! Can't say 100 WEEKS straight because we missed one week this past September for GoE III. But I think we can be forgiven, everyone wanted to support our troops and give the moonbats hell. Besides, in August, 2006 we did two FReeps in Olney. See FReep 1: Week 34 and FReep 2: Week 34. Honor Roll Call (16) for this week were: Legionnaires Glenn (USMC - Iwo Jima), Clyde (Navy - WWII), Halsey (USMC - Korea), Frank (Army - Korea), Carland Lurkers Bill and newbie Garyand FReepers Apple Blossom, BMWcyle, BufordP, Cindy_True_Supporter, Fraxinus, iMacMan, VictoryNY,...

    This weekend was the first of many to come, cold, blistery, windy FReeps in the D.C. area. After a successful, but very cold FReep at Walter Reed, we braved the cold weather in Olney. And cold it was.Temps we in the low 40s and the wind was blowing around 15 MPH. I know 40s is whimpy by some FReeper's standards, but this is only the beginning of the winter. So we did what we know best, drink a last cup of hot coffee, layer our clothes, resolve ones self and FReep On!!!FReepers and Lurkers in attendance was small but better...

    I'm not sure why, but a moonbat holding one end of their banner decided to just fall back. She appeared okay but needed help getting up. Maybe she felt light headed because for the first time in months, they had us out numbered; or maybe the flags on the banner, and the freedom they represent, was holding we too heavy to hold. Our freedom isn't too heavy for our brave militarys' shoulders. BELOW: Fallen moon and her helpful troll. The Quackers now have a play about themselves. They didn't like the Christmas spirit play so they changed the forum. FReepers...

    It must have been a full moon this weekend, or being cold the leftist had to keep their windows closed and the brown smoke was getting in their eyes, or the leftists just didn't like the idea that the SURGE IS WORKING!!! But they were angrily showing their IQ of ONE today. Of course he may have been just happily showing us that he has mastered counting to ONE.

    This year's Veterans' Day Weekend was highlighted by the 25th Anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, commonly known as "The Wall". The BELOW pictures are from readings on Thursday afternoon. Thursday night was also very moving. The air was clear and crispy cold. One could just see their breath as the temps fell from a warm afternoon. And all was quiet as the planes had stopped landing and taking off from Reagan National Airport. The speakers on the grass at the top of the Wall and on the stage clearly announced the names of our fallen, which could be heard...
