Maybe if I start blaming public officials for the New Orleans tragedy we'll get more action on this thread.

I was granted permission to use the quote below as further proof that our troops need us. Hopefully, it may help.

I was at the first stops that the Caravan ("You Don't Speak For Me, Cindy") took in Vacaville and Sacramento. I met a fine, young soldier at the Sacramento stop (he was home on a 14-day leave) and while we were shouting down the anti-war, anti-Bush protesters on the other side of the street, I asked him what I could do for him while he was fighting for us over there. He said, "Just what you're doing right here."

Fighting the Enemy at home, while our Troops fight the Enemy abroad."

I wish I could believe you, Beth. But we've got idiots protesting our wounded in D.C., and we're lucky to get a few dozen out there supporting them.

We've got the fourth anniversary of 9/11 coming up - with a march to support our troops - and the hate-filled freaks from Westboro will be there mocking our dead, wounded and their families, and we can't even buy a bump for this thread, much less get anyone to commit to attending.

This forum is full of a lot of hot air, but when it comes to actually doing something for our troops...

Didn't you see what happened in Crawford on August 27th and also at Walter Reed Hospital on the 26th. Also, there's a website called Protest Warriors that is enlisting people like us to counter-protest. It is kind of new for conservatives to protest, but I believe its catching on.

I am an optimist and I believe that we have the power to stop it.

The Founding Fathers during the American Revolution had no Internet, or t.v., or telephones, etc., but look what they did.

Of course I did. I was at Walter Reed on 8/27, and I participated actively in the Crawford threads. That's my entire point.

Hey Coop, I just went to one of my favorite sites (Moonbat Central - one of the authors in Davis Horowitz of Front Page fame) and look what I found:

"Katrina Timeline

Posted by Andrew Walden @ Monday 5 September 2005, 6:10 am
Here’s a complete Katrina Timeline from the storm’s early development through Sept 3. Compiled by the NOLA Times-Picayune

http://www.rightwingnuthouse.com./

The media is lying through its teeth in a shameless effort to use this tragedy against Bush."

I was commenting on that site yesterday and posted your website address and told them about your timeline. Andrew either found it on Free Republic, or from reading my comment. What a small, wonderful world. You'll be getting lots of hits today.

Thanks again for your Timeline -- I read it last night before going to bed. Great job!

What timeline? I think you're confusing me with someone else.

I saw your tagline and thought that was your site. Oops! www.rightwingnuthouse.com is Rick Moran's site - and he put a timeline together for Katrina in New Orleans. Sorry 'bout that!
