Greg is the kind of guy that any mother would be proud of.

God Bless him and his family.

Any reports from the road? They should be in T-E-X-A-S by now! Dang, I should have gotten PSM's phone number when they were here; wasn't thinking. Could have slipped them some money, too... Anyone know how we can donate directly to the Caravan...?

You're about page is awesome. On another thread someone was asking about poster ideas. You've got a good one:

How about rooting for our side for a change you liberal moron! (Pic of Marine)
If you love freedom, try rooting for some real freedom fighters!

I enjoyed your Dave Berry spot too. I have missed reading him. Hope he starts back soon.

Jim reports the weather is about 108º outside but nice and cool inside his van.

Weather for Saturday in Crawford is forecast as: Saturday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Partly cloudy and hot, with a high around 100. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm.

=====

I expect the humidity will be near the 40% or so it's been running this week. Bring a hat and lots of water or other non or de-caffeinated drink. Be prepared to sweat! But it's for the troops, and y'all can take it.

...

Can't you?

Is there going to be a place to meet the caravan prior to their arrival in Crawford?

Waco WalMart Parking Lot. I-35 and Shoreline. That's in the north part of Waco on the west side of I-35. Caravan will depart there NET 11:45 AM.

I heard that wonderful mom on the radio last night! WHAT a hard decision, but "she had her orders." Love it.

I may be out of it but I didn't know Jim was taking a caravan down. I am thrilled that our side is making sure the press doesn't Viet Nam this war. I am also heartened that elected Democrats are steering clear, because as Rush says, they all have their internal polling and it's probably showing the Sheehanites are thought of as misguided or far worse by the American people.

May everyone on this trip stay safe (and cool?).

I've talked to Mrs ladtx about going, she's pretty PO'd about the Sheehan Circus also. We'll try to make it. Can't promise tho' as I'm still recovering from cancer surgery from a week ago caused by too much sun in years past.

can you imagine if we'd had FR and other alternate media going back 38 years ? We wouldn't have had a VN then, either !

Post of the day?

Seriously, in the post Rathergate world, more average Americans now know that TV news does not equal truth. Back then, the media fooled too many. Strangely, now it's fooling quantities of people ONLY ON THE LEFT. Hmmmmmm...

Whoa. I will keep praying for Greg and his troops. Powerful stories and links. I hope he enjoys his R&R back at home.

We were able to rally with the caravaners when they stopped in Fresno. Huge media turn-out but NATURALLY lousy coverage. Who cares! We drove with the caravan to Kingsburg. It was an honor to be there. Too bad the media didn't give our guys and gals a fair shake . . . but then what else would you expect.

Go, Jim Robinson, et al!!!

I think she secretly pandering to be picked up as one of the jihadist's 70 heavenly-virgins!!!

72 mansions each with 72 rooms and each room has a virgin, but what do women get?

Jim Rob was only planning to go to Vacaville and back to Fresno with the Caravan, but then Syncro said, "Why don't we go all the way?" Jim did not have an answer and the rest is history-in-the-making.

The Caravan has become a joint effort: "Free Republic ... Moving America Forward!"
