Have you noticed President Bush's (assumed by me only) take on the whole Sheehan protest? LOL.

Camp Casey is becoming very organized, with how-to signs placed about. Ann Wright said, "That's what we are trying to do."
Let me read you the schedule posted on a tree: "9:15 camp meeting; 10 a.m. inter-faith service, 10:30 a.m., "Food-Not-Bombs Breakfast at Peace House," and....
"Wait! Someone is firing a gun. (pause). He fired it into the air about five times. He appears to be a local inside the fence line on private property. Now he has thrown what looks like a shotgun into the front seat of a pickup, and he's stomping off out of sight. I wonder where he went.
"Now he's coming back out. I'm out here standing on the road. He's got a no parking sign in his hand, walking toward his fence. I'm going to go try to talk to him. I've got to hang up."
(three minutes later)
I went over and talked to the man. He is Larry Mattlage, who says he is on his property and just posted a no-parking sign.
"We're going to start doing our war and it's going to be underneath the law," he told me. "Whatever it takes. So y'all go find another place to do whatever you do. 'Cause this is our front yard and back yard."
I asked, "Do you mean the protestors?"
Wait.....now there's some Secret Service and cops. I'm going to get closer to hear what they're saying. People in bullet-proof vests are here now. Two Secret Service agents are now walking up his driveway towards his house, with Mr. Mattlage. A member of the Sheriff's Department has arrived. Mr. Mattlage is waving his arms now. All of them are now walking back this way.
Now they are between the lane and the house. He's at the fence now. Let me record what they are saying. I'll call right back.

I would have to agree... After the rally yesterday, my mother (Pamlet) and myself drove up to the "camp"...
It reminded me of one thing, (mind you, I am 21) the pictures I have seen of the protests of Vietnam. These people are so disgusting and so Anti-America it is just not funny.
I strongly encourage WHOMEVER can make it out there to go out and show support for our troops and our President. It is a shame no one has lots of moola to spend on setting up plasma screens and HUGE speakers on that guys property, BLASTING patriotic songs and speeches of President Bush.
Check your FReepmail. Priceless.
...reported this morning from the scene that shots had been fired near the Cindy Sheehan antiwar encampment...
Hmmm! Someone must be trying for the big time on that local paper. There is a big difference between firing shots "AT" something, and firing shots "NEAR" something...
Larry Mattlage just invited all of us red-necks up to his property to shoot.
Well, that includes me.
It's obviously LEGAL in Texas for the man to shoot his gun on his property. Especially, since the Secret Service and the Sheriff's office talked to him about it and he wasn't arrested.
Thanks
I'm in for the weekend after Labor Day. Inneroutlaw has been pestering me to go then anyway. Bush will still be there, and it will be dove season there then.
sounds like a good idea to me.
Question is, do you think the media and the Lefties understand what the man is saying? And will they pack up and go the heck back home?
I would like to see an aerial photo of that circus down there. I'll bet there is more media vehicles than you can shake a stick at. And they (the media) claim The President is on vacation. Some vacation.

If that's further from here than a tank of gas I'll have to get a loan to fill up the waffencruiser !
Oh Lord.
We will see what we can work out.
We won't hold owning a Ruger product against inneroutlaw!!
Uh-oh. I'd think about going low (just a word of advice from someone who's been there.
I don't think they care what he says, or thinks. I read at another conservative website that the DUmmies are already talking of ways to send a "message" to him. From what I read there, it sounds as though they are trying to come up with ways to antagonize him further.
On the other hand, the general public is seeing this frustrated neighbor over and over again on TV, and I think they will feel for him. I suspect not too many people would want strange protesters camped outside their yard for days on end. No matter the cause. JMO, of course.
Road Trip ?
I like what you have done to your profile page!
A stupid Question, Where are all these people going to the bathroom at? On this mans ranch? In his front yard?
