Happy Birthday Unka-Vlad

Today is Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov's Birthday. You may all remember him by his nom de guerre:

No - Wait. That's most definitely what the current administration is NOT inflicting upon us, is it? But I digress. Socialists and Communists in the U.S. always wanted to openly celebrate their Autocratic Saint's Natal Day. But let's face it, he and the movement that he has engendered, suffers from a bit of Public Relation Image problem. Just a little:





The above martial display was held just this week in Havana, Cuba. BTW, at (3:30), you will see a unit of the Youth Worker's Army. That's what then Sen. Obama referred to as his Civilian Defense Force. In otherwords, civilian thugs enforcers of the revolution.




But again, I digress.

Given the bad PR that Communism had in this country, and given their wishes to celebrate their dear saint's B-Day, why not drop the Blood Red, and adopt the Alfalfa Green? Instead of calling it Lenin's B-Day, why not call it Earth Day? Just hide the mass murder under the surface, and elevate Gaia as the one being honored. Before you know it, the masses will be led on the soft path to Communism. Those in the know will still secretly know who's really is been honored and who's final goal is being reached for. The masses just like cattle won't know where they are led-to, until the chute makes a final left turn at the abattoir.

You don't believe me? Earth Day is a holiday begun by Democratic Sen. Gaylord Nelson in 1970 to keep anti-capitalist sentiment going after the Vietnam War ended.

So on behalf of this little 'Rican: Happy Birthday Dear Leader *er* I mean... Gaia.



Because as you know, all the liddle child'en looove T-34's.



See - That wasn't that bad. Communists can be so adorable and cute too!

It Was A Cold Stormy Night

But the comradeship was hot, and spirits high. On Friday April 8th, The Free Republic held vigil for the 312th consecutive Friday (or 6th Anniversary) in support to our wounded troops in front of Walter Reed AMC. Some of you may recall that this on-going effort to properly honor our wounded warriors was prompted, when Code Pink decided to deride them every Friday evening in front of the hospital's main gate.

As I was saying, last Friday evening, the weather was lousy about 38º and under a driving unrelenting rain. Still about three dozen patriots converged at the 7100 Block of Georgia Avenue N.W. and for three hours brought cheer to our soldiers and loved ones.



Below are a few snaps of my good friends: The Colonel, and Patriot Sister One.





Did I tell you that it was raining hard and cold?

There were two highlights to the night. The first was when a recovering soldier and two of his buddies came zooming out of the hospital and to the corner of the gate in wheelchairs, convoy-style. Their mission: To await for the delivery of pizza. YUMMM! Needless to say, they were instant chick-magnets.

The other, was to see the reaction of those inside the returning bus filled with wounded warriors and their families, out for a free steak dinner. Please read the linked report: HERE.

And, for The Freeper's perspective on that evening's activities, their post is: HERE.
