Im not too certain that protesting on DICK CHENEY’S Lawn would be a particularly bright idea, but these are bot particularly bright bunch of people are they.

I don’t think we ever should have moved the terrorists to Gitmo.

They all should have been shot on the spot.

I’ve seen 20 people at a crappy, “clothes only” yard sale and it never made the news.

Might be a good time to turn on the lawn sprinklers. See how long wet protesters last soaking wet in sub-freezing temps.

It's a lovely 76o degrees going up to 88o at Gitmo. Compared to a depressing 19 o in the Capital of the Confederacy.
