LIVE Report From Crawford (3,000 folks now and STILL COMING!)
Basil in Crawford | 8-27-05 | TxBubba

Posted on 08/27/2005 10:02:40 AM PDT by TXBubba

Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.

Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!

Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.

They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.

The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.

Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.

To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!

That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.

I believe the other group are white racist anti-semites .. against the "neo-cons" in this administration allegedly supporting Israel .. their estimate of the reason for the Iraq war. There was a thread about them last night.

Huh?

Yep! You don't suppose they have microchips implanted into their brains so they get reception that way do you? Maybe the tv is there all along but those of us not in the secret society, the ones without microchips, do not get the priveledge of watching. Hmmm.

It really frosts me that they even put those crosses up there with the names of other people's children on them. If they want top demean their own, that is their affair...even though it is disgusting how they demean the beliefs and sacrifice and last full measure of devotion of their own kids who volunteered for this fight.

But to put the names of other people's kids on those crosses, as if though those other families support what this rabid bunch of anti-Maerican far-lefters push...without so much as asking them...that is beyond the pale and really, really chaps my hide right down to the bone.

How dare they!

Typical leftists, tyranical behavior. They need to be called on it and called on it hard IMHO.

Okay....I remember. The Neo-Nazi David Duke group. I forgot about them. But why are they being lumped in with us? We don't have any connection to them!

Thanks to you and W04man. This is beyond frustrating. And I got rid of my television because I was so sick of their propaganda!

Now even Fox radio invades my home with the whiney little voice of Cindy Sheehan!!!

Hey, Freepers, check out the photo at NRO Buzz blog
Try the very first one.

Small breakdown:
on the right: woman with hat sitting in the chair too fat to get her legs together
middle of picture: old geezer naps
to the left: guy with shirt undone (he thinks he's sexy) and the guy behind him giving the victory sign. Think this guy get that without the troops there is no victory?

Second picture: McLennen county sheriff deputies look pretty bored. They are thinking "just wish these damn fools would go home. It's hot out here."
