The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is holding a rally in Crawford, Texas today to show America's support for our troops, President Bush and the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.
The rally will be held at noon at the Crawford Civic Center at 1000 4th Street.
Freepers are coming from near and far to join the H.O.T. Chapter in Crawford. If you live within four hours drive of Crawford, it's not too late to hit the road and get on down there.
Folks in attendance will be calling in to me, Brad's Gramma and Jeff Head with live updates from the scene. I am told that cellphone coverage in Crawford is spotty. However, it may have gotten better of late.
We'll see.
Hat's off to Basil, Doctor Raoul, The Sarce and 2ndAmendmentMama (and anyone else) who've been scrambling the past two days to make this happen. Good luck!
I haven't clicked the link yet. This is going to hurt right?
Me too!
"Kidding aside Tonk you left off an easy one to recommend.
Be a Boy Scout Leader or a Girl Scout Leader and a friend to the spouse left behind to help raise up a strong healthy service member's child and instill the values we so cherish in them."
That's EXACTLY what I mean by playing offense, rather than defense!
Im going in to DU now...If I dont come out in 30 minutes send in a team to rescue me
I'm sorwy... but its a "good" hurt! ;-)
Nothing a good hot shower won't fix.
Don't touch anything! ;-)
Mrs. Sheenan is the focus of the press and they and she and her Code Pink, MoveON.org , and Michael Moore friends think they have found an unassailable individual because they are using her status as a grieving mother. Well, here's what the "grieving" mother has to say about her own son's voluntary sacrifice and last full measure of devition:
One of the questions I was going to be asked was: Do I think my son's sacrifice was "worth it?" In answer to the original question Larry: No it wasn't worth it!!
Apparently, she and her son disagreed.
Here are some of her other comments:
This war was sold to the American people by a slimy leadership with a maniacal zeal and phony sincerity that would have impressed snake oil salesmen a century ago.At some point...it stopped being grief and it became hate.
The 56,000,000 plus citizens who voted against you and your agenda have given me a mandate to move forward with my agenda. Also, thanks to you and your careless domestic policies, I am unemployed, so this will be my full-time job. Being your political downfall will be the most noble accomplishment of my life and it will bring justice for my son and 1125 (so far) other brave Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis your lies have killed. By the way, George, how many more innocent Iraqis are your policies going to kill before you convince them that you are better than Saddam? How many more of their cities are you going to level before you consider that they are liberated?
George, I must confess that I and my family worked very HARD to re-defeat you this time, but you refuse to stay defeated. Well, we are watching you very carefully. We are going to do everything in our power to have you impeached for misleading the American people into a disastrous war and for mis-using and abusing your power as Commander-in-Chief. We are going to scream until our last breath to bring the rest of our babies home from this quagmire of a war that you have gotten our country in to
YUP i was right. It hurt. I really have to start listening to the little voice that tells me to stop doing dumb things.
BTW You're all bad people who don't know the REAL story.
You will DEFINITELY need a shower afterward. They are the most vile disgusting creatures. Most of them can't complete a sentence without interjecting four letter words. Must be their "publik skool edukations".

Members of her family have NOT supported her at all. They wrote an email saying she is dead wrong and only using her son's death for political purposes while they mourn with respect.
WOW! They can swear and everything there. I'm soooo jealous.
BINGO
I am with you in spirit! Have a great time.
My impression is that the hate was there first, and the grief is just an add-on.
BTTT!!!!!
