The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is holding a rally in Crawford, Texas today to show America's support for our troops, President Bush and the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.
The rally will be held at noon at the Crawford Civic Center at 1000 4th Street.
Freepers are coming from near and far to join the H.O.T. Chapter in Crawford. If you live within four hours drive of Crawford, it's not too late to hit the road and get on down there.
Folks in attendance will be calling in to me, Brad's Gramma and Jeff Head with live updates from the scene. I am told that cellphone coverage in Crawford is spotty. However, it may have gotten better of late.
We'll see.
Hat's off to Basil, Doctor Raoul, The Sarce and 2ndAmendmentMama (and anyone else) who've been scrambling the past two days to make this happen. Good luck!
Doctor Raoul was interviewed on a piece that appeared on Fox News Btit Hume show. It should be repeated later tonight.
Has Larry thought about the Tony Soprano loud noise machine. Remember the episode on the boat where they blared loud music all night to the people's house?
I think Mr. Mattlage out to rent some loud speakers and play children's tunes all night -- blaring out to the crowds so they get no sleep and are too exhausted to protest during the day.
Actually, I meant just the opposite. Sheehan is from the branch (if you can call it a branch) of Catholicism that includes the above list of ner-do-well's. These are people who profess a belief system in order to appeal to their "spiritual brothers". The new Pope should "throw the bums out".
Hey, we're trying to mount another form of protest as well. We're wanting to stop them from using the names of our military who have died in Iraq for their protests. We need someone to take pictures of the crosses in Crawford so we can identify whose names are being used there. My cousin was killed in Iraq on Jan 4 and I'm sure his parents would be very upset if the knew his name was being used in that way. We've had a very kind offer by another FR member to assist in this, legally. However, we need the names. If anyone is going to be in Crawford and could get shoots with the names, we'll attempt to contact as many of the families represented to determine their feelings about having their loved one's name used to protest the very thing they gave their lives for. If we're successful, we can frustrate their efforts everytime they try to use the names. Cindy Sheehan complains about President Bush using the name of her son, yet she uses the names of other soldiers for her twisted agenda. It has to be stopped!!! Thanks in advance.
They are using pictures as well. It is disgusting. I am betting 99% of the families would be disgusted that a terrorist supporter is using their pictures to aid the insurgency in Iraq.
Yeah, I saw a picture of my cousin on DU several months ago. I registered and asked them to remove it. I was, of course, banned.
"The new Pope should "throw the bums out"."
Gotcha, sorry about the misunderstanding. For those of us who are battle fatigued as the result of being, what, bashed Catholics -- probably wouldn't hurt if you referred to the cruddy, vote grabbing, pseudo-Catholic Kennedy bunch as CINO's. Catholic(s)-in-name-only, that work for you? Think I'm beginning to warm up to it.
As for Pope Benedict XVI, I suspect he may just be the man who WILL throw those bums out! Hope so. If Nancy pro-partial-birth-abortion Pelousy is a conservative Catholic, I'm definitely the Easter bunny.
Dang, I've already spent most of it.
More GREAT Pics!
God bless FreeRepublic!
