Joe Gruters, the Sarasota Republican Party chairman, said some 4,700 tickets had been requested for the event. Gingrich said the crowd was indicative of the “grassroots, insurgency campaign against the establishment”...

Gingrich, speaking for about 20 minutes Monday, called Romney's latest attacks "desperate" and "baloney." He told the crowd he expects to hear more of it from Romney at Monday's nationally televised debate at the University of South Florida. "If you've been campaigning for six years and you begin to see it slip away, you get desperate," Gingrich said. Newt Gingrich, riding a big victory in South Carolina, got more good news Monday before appearing at a rally of supporters in Tampa. A new Rasmussen poll put Gingrich in the lead in Florida with 41 percent of the vote. Mitt Romney,...

Wauwatosa - Tonette Walker delivered a message straight from husband Gov. Scott Walker on Saturday, telling supporters not to be ruled by anger and assuring them that Republican reforms are working. "The other side has had a voice for over a year, but it's now time for us to speak up," Tonette Walker said during a rally at Hart Park. For about three hours, a large crowd stood on packed snow and ice to show they were standing with the governor during the first large Republican rally of the recall season. A coalition of Democrats, unions and a grass-roots organization...

I had to laugh when I opened the photobucket file for this week. [Mrs] T said that she didn’t take a lot of pictures. But only FIVE - it just made me laugh. Part of the reason was that the camera got so cold so quick that the batteries lost their umph. The other reason was [Mrs] T’s trigger finger also got real cold even though she was layered with foot and hand warmers. How cold was it? 25 degrees with a moderate wind. Do I hear violins from some of you in North Dakota? I bet you do not...

Seven Patriots supported our troops in Olney this morning of New Year’s Eve. Our special guest today was 3DJoy who brought up some warm southern temps for the DC area the past 10 days. Some spring bulbs even started to come up. While I was in the sun, I had to remove my jacket. Of course when the shade over took my spot, it got a little chilly and back on went the jacket. We also had a “newbie” today. Martin from [Mrs] T’s and Cindy_True_Supporter’s American Legion Post. Martin had such a good time waving, talking with every one...

As everyone is aware, winter is creeping closer. In the western parts of Maryland there has been several "measurable" snow falls. I know, several inches is nothing compared to some places, but here in Maryland, it is the talk of the day. The colder weather is still bearable but the wind today made it uncomfortable. The flags looked good though. BufordP - This flag is for you. Patriots in Olney on this Saturday are: Lurker Bill and FReepers Fraxinus, GunsAreOK, iMacMan, [Mrs] T and myself. iMacMan has been out with us the last month or so. iMac is a "cold...

The rally was impressive. A sea of black dresses -from-head-to-toe- and their point persons were scattered along the corners of preceding crossings, mostly women who were speaking to passersby willing to lend an ear to their tales. At the same time, big busloads of men were being unloaded at the crossing of Park and 72nd Street. Men with or without, beards and with the traditional Muslim attire... they were everywhere... And only some Irish workers at some of the Park Avenue buildings seem unhappy with the way the situation was unraveling. The Wall Street Journal, unsurprisingly, reports via Associated Press...

Muslim Brotherhood holds venomous anti-Israel rally in Cairo mosque Friday; Islamic activists chant: Tel Aviv, judgment day has come Arab hate: A Muslim Brotherhood rally in Cairo's most prominent mosque Friday turned into a venomous anti-Israel protest, with attendants vowing to "one day kill all Jews." Some 5,000 people joined the rally, called to promote the "battle against Jerusalem's Judaization." The event coincided with the anniversary of the United Nations' partition plan in 1947, which called for the establishment of a Jewish state.

Earlier last week one of our American Legion supporters of our Support the Troops Rally in Olney died in an accident while on vacation in the Caribbean. Dennis, U.S. Army and Korean War Vet, was an frequent and welcomed supporter in Olney. Always friendly towards patriots, he did not like the moonbats’ message. He will be sorely missed.

Patriots in Olney on this Saturday are: Lurker Bill and FReepers Fraxinus, GunsAreOK, iMacMan, [Mrs] T and myself. Apologies to Fraxinus...

We see all this press about the OWS criminals. What I've not seen lately is the Tea Party rallies that were popular last year, and should be popular and much more capable this year and certainly much more outgoing next year. We need to start showing the country we're still around, still active and certainly a better crowd than the OWS morons.

For 302 Weeks patriots have been supporting our military in Olney. This Saturday a Navy Vet stopped by to THANK US with a bag of WARM egg ‘n cheese bagels. While it was not extremely cold, there was a chill and the warmth of the bagels was welcomed. Probably more welcome was eating the bagels while the "quackers" looked on. BELOW: Lurker Jim, a Vietnam Vet himself, thanks Navy Vet for the bagels. Patriots in Olney on this Week 302: Legionnaires Glenn (USMC - Iwo Jima) and Carl (Army - Vietnam) along with Lurkers Bill and Jim, and FReepers GunsAreOK,...

Brezovich said the event was a combination of training on...

The old hippie lib “Quackers” did what was expected of them - They have been to another anarchist protest. They were pawns, sheeple, morons in a movement that they think they understand. The only way the real organizers behind the “occupiers” could get big enough crowds is to get every lib, leftists and anti-American group possible to show up. BUT, there is hope for our future if we can hold the line.This week our daughter and 3 of our grand kids were in Olney to help out. Our patriots extent across 7 decades - from our 9 year old granddaughter...
