This piece of legislative treason is the best evidence yet that our Congressional "Leaders" view US as slaves and serfs. This back-room bill declares U.S. citizenship to be irrelevant and virtually detrimental to those holding it. Legal, taxpaying, law abiding U.S. Citizens are the oppressors of those "unfortunate people who just want to work and keep their families together", and must be made to

First, an update: SPC Joshua Sparling is getting a promotion to Seargent this week, and has scheduled Nov. 15th for the amputation of his lower-right leg.Josh in March of this year outside Walter Reed.The amputation is a good thing! The poor guy has been in misery for nearly a year while the leg heals enough to support the upper part once he's fitted with a prosthetic. Below mid-calf is toast,

PFC Joshua Sparling represents all that is good and honorable in the U.S. Military. To say that he's been through the "wringer" is an understatement and he still has a long, hard road to travel before he can get back on his chosen path. Josh has survived the worst that terrorists in Iraq and anti-American scumbags here could throw at him without losing his amazingly generous nature and love for

I heard the most amazing thing on the radio this morning."Guest worker programs are a bad idea and harm all workers," AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said in a statement released the day after the Senate Judiciary Committee cleared an immigration bill. "They cast workers into a perennial second-class status, and unfairly put their fates into their employers' hands."Wha?!? How could this be?!? I

Maj. "Taco" Bell, USMC, joined the merry band of FReepers and friends on March 17th to show his support for the wounded warriors and his disdain for the commie Pinkos. I'd been tipped-off by Taco Mamma to expect his appearance but was nonetheless surprised that someone who'd been home for less than two weeks would want to come to an event so close to a bunch of anti-war 'tards. tgslTakoma wrote

CJ (A Soldier's Perspective) and JP (Milblogging.com) have revealed plans from a secret agenda of their own for the First Annual Milblog Conference.Scheduled to be held in D.C. at the AED Conference Center on April 22, the all-day star-studded event is aimed at elevating the exposure of blogs written by and for the members of the military. However, the discussions might not center around mature

Get on the phone and start pecking at your keyboards! The Judiciary Committee of the Maryland House of Delegates is set to vote on several bills next week including one that could start easing our path to obtaining Concealed Carry permits, but we need to let our representatives know that we want them to pass the bills out of committee and onto the floor.HB 1163 simply states: Repealing the

What a difference a week makes! Temps in D.C. broke a record high set back in 1964 (can you say 'Global Warming'?). The springtime warmth brought out lots of patriots to welcome and cheer our beloved Troops. We had crowds on ALL FOUR CORNERS out in front of Walter Reed for the eighth week. Of course the nice weather brought some extra commie 'tards out from beneath the rocks as well. They were in

Here's a terrific poem about the valour and commitment on display everyday in Iraq and Afghanistan by our warriors.The sun beat like a hammer, not a cloud was in the sky.The mid-day air ran thick with dust, my throat was parched and dry.With microphone clutched tight in hand and cameraman in tow,I ducked beneath a fallen roof, surprised to hear "stay low."My eyes blinked several times before in

If it wasn't for the wind...Another cold night out front of Walter Reed Army Medical Center. No need to wave our flags, the wind whipped them about with patriotic fervor.We managed to keep ALL FOUR CORNERS covered with about 29 Freepers, friends and real heroes. It was so cold (go ahead, say it - "How cold was it?") that my camera wouldn't work for more than a few minutes after being exposed to

Trevor has posted the 1st Runner Up essay in his "Why am I here?" contest. It's so good I can't describe it. Here's a snippet:My fellow Americans, I have a task for those with the courage and fortitude to take it. I have a message that needs not fall on deaf ears. A vision the blind need to see. I am not a political man nor one with great wisdom. I am just a soldier who finds himself helping

OK, so this is old news. Still, some of the jokes are funny enough to stand the test of time.WASHINGTON, D.C. - A white house source stated that Congress is considering awarding Vice President Dick Cheney the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian commendation, for his act of bravery in shooting an attorney. The source was quoted to say, "All Americans have wanted to shoot a lawyer at

Despite the cold, blustery weather, we had a terrific turnout this week. We were joined by 12 (at least) College Republicans from GWU who brought plenty of youthful exuberance.Here's Jeff H. striking a very Centurion pose near the gate.What a great bunch of kids! They jumped right in grabbing signs and flags and making lots of noise. It was great to see so many new, fresh faces and to see the

"We are going to target them in a specific way," said Executive Director Gustavo Torres. Casa representatives will go out with cameras and video cameras to record the Minutemen, but that will only be the first step, he said. "Then we are going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kids, and go to their work," Torres said. "If they are going to do this to us, we are going to respond in

I was REALLY DISAPPOINTED with this weekend's Daytona 500, and not just 'cause it was a pretty boring race. There was at most 5 seconds of recognition for the military and that included the 2 second shot of the Color Guard and 3 seconds of the beautiful F/A-22 Raptors flying overhead. That's it!!!I didn't get to watch the Super Bowl, but have heard/read several places that there was no tribute to

I hate it!I spent 5 hours last night just trying to back up photos because this dumb machine kept forgetting what it was doing half way through the file copies. Then it would lock up completely.

Chuck made his television debut tonight on CNN's "On the Story". He got to talk about the difference between what the MSM is reporting and what milblogs are revealing. Of course, they didn't air the really good parts (rants), but the Captain looked and sounded like he belonged in front of a camera!You can catch the segment Sunday at 10am EST.

I like old movies with John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges.TweetiePie bought a brand spankin' new plasma TV "for us" for Christmas to replace the 20 year old set in the living room.

In an earlier post, I quoted Mike Fay (Fire and Ice) and he paid me the compliment of responding with a very thoughtful comment. He's had up-close-and-personal experience with liberal elitists who discredit and disparage his art simply because of his work attire. At a showing in the Farnsworth Art Museum, he had a "peer" accost him saying "The fact that he would come not dressed as an artist, but

The writing may not have been on the wall exactly, but it was visible to all who walked along the PinkoPath tonight. There were some special messages awaiting Gael Murphy and her acolytes that could not have been ignored or misunderstood.I wonder if "Princess" wrote them? I didn't see him in his familiar skirt or handmade flag. Could he have finally realized that his presence was not appreciated?

I was made aware of this piece on AnySoldier.com as part of a post by Maj. Mitchell "Taco" Bell, USMC. It has apparently been around for a while. I found a post here from Sept. 2004.

It means people shouldn't hold their stinking anti-war protests outside a military hospital. Even if said people have a permit issued by the D.C. Govt., it doesn't meanthey should use it.

2005 was a great year for blogs in general and a banner year for milblogs. So many people are seeking and finding these wonderful sources of news from the front (and rear and sides) that even the legacy media had to acknowledge their existence.

2006 may see the end of the weekly commie "vigils" outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The increase in police activity over the past few weeks has prompted speculation among the FReepers that CodePink is looking for a face-saving way to end their blood dance by getting the permits for both sides revoked.Once again, someone called D.C.'s finest complaining about "the noise", but our permit
