Why do the Bush righties hate the troops?
From truthout in Crawford, Texas comes a report of a guy driving his pickup truck over the row of crosses that stand for American troops killed in Iraq.
Some time around 10:00 p.m. on Monday night, Larry Northern of Waco, Texas, drove his pickup truck down to the Crawford protest site. He got out, went around back to the tailgate, and attached a pipe and a chain to the rear of the truck. He got back in and proceeded to drive his truck through the Arlington West cemetery, grinding and smashing through the grave markers. Five hundred of them were knocked down, and 100 of them were totally destroyed.
Vile, right? But there is a "happy" ending to it.
Mr. Northern was arrested and charged with criminal mischief. Ironically, he was apprehended because one of the crosses he destroyed punctured the tire on his truck. Some have argued in the aftermath of the attack that he should be charged with a hate crime. However that shakes out, it was hate that motivated him. His hate was so strong that it motivated him to destroy crosses and stars and crescents bearing the names of soldiers he almost certainly has said he "stands for."
And the good news continues:
A man who owns property near Bush's "ranch," and right across the street from his church, has offered the protesters an acre of his land for their campsite.
See, despite what the mainstream media would have us believe, the majority of Americans don't approve of the President or the job he's doing, especially in regard to Iraq.
We've been hijacked by a tiny, greedy minority of elitists who commands a larger, but still minority group of undereducated, anti-reason, anti-science willfully ignorant hoopleheads.
But the majority of Americans are with Cindy Sheehan and against "President" Bush.
