"Pro-War"? I just love how the lame-stream has all these labels for folks who don't want their kin exploited (for political gain) by lefties.

Only lunatics like war. Sometimes, however, the alternative to war is even more abhorrent.

he has removed three different crosses bearing his son's name from the nearly 600 erected on the narrow road leading to Mr. Bush's ranch. Each time he removed a cross, protesters replaced it, he said.


You would think they would at least have the common decency to respect the wishes of other parents, too.

Last weekend, Mr. Qualls transferred the crosses to a site in downtown Crawford that's been nicknamed "Fort Qualls." Mr. Garvey moved his son's crosses there as well. By yesterday afternoon, friends and relatives of 13 other fallen soldiers had followed suit.
"More are on the way," Mr. Qualls said, based on the number of e-mails, letters and phone calls of support he has received.
Also, starting today, about 500 yard signs that say "Support Our Troops" and "Bush Country" will be placed on property directly across from Camp Casey by a group called GrassFire.org.
"We will also unfurl a huge American flag" to fly at the site, which is being called "Camp Reality," said Steve Elliott, president of GrassFire.org. He said his group has collected 400,000 petitions supporting both Mr. Bush and U.S. troops.

So much for that crowd honoring the fallen. Can't they be legally enjoined to not use other people's names against their families' wishes?

Mr. Qualls, an Army veteran from Penwell, Texas, said he has removed three different crosses bearing his son's name from the nearly 600 erected on the narrow road leading to Mr. Bush's ranch. Each time he removed a cross, protesters replaced it, he said.

Sure seems like Cindy and her Groupies aren't respecting the wishes of the families of fallen soldiers

I wonder if all the families who find their loved ones names on their crosses could tie them up in court and sue them for using their names without the families permission. Especially if they have been asked to take them down.

Pro-war.

So does this mean from now on, instead of referring to themselves as "pro-choice," they'll now refer to themselves as "pro-abortion?"

I said it before, and I'll say it again:

either meet with them, or drop napalm on them. Either way puts an end to it.

Julie Curtis-Win of Fort Hood, Texas, executive director of the Texas Military Family Foundation, was at Fort Qualls yesterday, having been asked to go there by some of the 500 Fort Hood soldiers deployed to Iraq last week.

"They wanted me to go to say we support our troops and that America is one. So we're up here trying to do the right thing," said Mrs. Curtis-Win.

During the past three years, she said, about 100,000 troops from Fort Hood have been sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. On Tuesday, some mothers of Fort Hood soldiers killed in Iraq removed their crosses from Camp Casey and transplanted them at Fort Qualls. Mothers who found duplicate crosses bearing their sons' names at the anti-war site took the extras home, Mrs. Curtis-Win said.

Good for them. Good for people standing up to this!

Oh yeah, and damn those losers for re-opening the fresh wounds of the families who have lost loved ones in Iraq. I would spit on them if I could.

Crosses???
Crosses are a religious symbol of Christianity. What are these atheists doing using a religious symbol?
