Pro-America Rally in Crawford Draws Fierce Backlash
Pookie
Mike Gallagher
Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2005
Who would have ever thought that organizing a trip to Crawford, Texas, would
result in someone writing me hoping that my wife gets cancer and dies and my
sons are killed in a terrible accident?
That sentiment was fairly typical of the hundreds of e-mails we've received
after our bus trip to Crawford Friday night to show support for President
Bush and the soldiers fighting the war on terror. Evidently, our little
adventure has touched a raw nerve in the fierce anti-war crowd. As I
understand it, our Friday night trip to Crawford was characterized by "the
bloggers" as an attempt to harrass and bully Cindy Sheehan, mother of Casey,
a slain soldier from California, who is staging a vigil in Crawford to
protest the war and seek a second meeting with President Bush. (Ms. Sheehan
met with President Bush shortly after her son was killed, over a year ago.)
When I heard that she was being joined by other anti-war protesters, I
decided on the spur of the moment to organize a bus trip to Crawford to
feature Americans who support the president and the war on terror. The
concept evolved during Friday's radio show. We were off the air at noon and
headed for Crawford at 3:30 p.m. in a bus packed with people in the
Dallas-Ft. Worth area who agreed with my efforts.
When we got to the protest area outside the president's ranch, we stood
alongside the road and sang patriotic songs, waved our flags, and said
supportive things about the troops and their commander in chief. Then we got
back in our bus and went home.
At no point would we have ever considered antagonizing or confronting Cindy
Sheehan. She's suffered enough. All Americans mourn her loss. We just
strongly disagree with her accusation that President Bush "killed [her]
son."
In fact, when a couple of reporters asked me if I would go over to the
anti-war protest site and confront them, I asked why in the world I would do
that. That wasn't our intent at all. I didn't even want to meet her, and if
I had, I would have told her only how sorry I am for her loss.
So who could possibly find fault with about 100 or 150 of us who waved flags
and sang "God Bless America" in Crawford Friday night?
Lots of people, evidently. Check out the e-mail I've gotten all weekend long
at mikeonline.com. These are actual e-mails, with legitimate e-mail
addresses. People who think I'm a "pig" for supporting the president while
my sons go to college. People who maintain that I don't have a right to
disagree with the anti-war folks until all my four sons are killed in Iraq.
A guy from Houston who hopes I'll visit him to he can "take care of [me]".
It's pretty astounding stuff, and I warn you, don't read it if you're faint
of heart. Seems that a lot of these "peace-loving" anti-war protesters don't
mind resorting to threats of violence as long as it's a conservative radio
talk show host on the receiving end! Besides the violent streak, many of
them also have a mouth that Mama needs to wash out with soap.
We've done our best to clean up the vile language. But I wanted to be sure
you saw what we're up against.
And we are up against it. While millions of us strongly support this
military effort to keep our country safe from future terror attacks, there
is a chorus of protesters who don't want our side to be heard. Consider the
sheer audacity of believing that only the anti-war protesters are allowed to
be heard and covered in the news media. To these anti-Bush hatemongers, the
rest of us should be silenced, intimiated, shouted down and insulted.
Well, Friday night's little bus trip was a joyful expression of patriotism.
I'm told that similiar rallies are starting to occur in Crawford, too.
That's wonderful news. Perhaps our little spontaneous event paved the way
for more displays of support for our president and our armed forces outside
the president's home in Texas.
That's keeping with my ongoing theme of turning a negative into a giant
positive. I'm proud of what we accomplished Friday night and grateful to
everyone who took part. Not only were we joined, both on the bus and in
Crawford, by over 100 people, but also thousands of dollars poured into our
foundation's Web site, www.gallaghersarmy.com, to fund the trip and continue
our efforts to benefit the troops and their families.
Together, let's keep fighting the good fight. Good will triumph over evil.
And we'll continue to win the hearts and minds of Americans who love this
country, honor its troops, and support our commander in chief.
God bless America.

If these were a real e-mail the writer wouldn't
have wished his sons get killed in an "accident",
unless you consider the war an accident. They
would have asked why none of Gallagher's sons are
over in Iraq. Cindy Sheehan's sacrificed her son
to Bush's war. What has Gallagher sacrificed?

effectively show the errors in this Bush supporter's views. To resort
to namecalling, and beiong nasty does NOTHING here. Showing how Iraq
has NOT protected America from terrorism, complete with the
folly-filled, "take the fight there and they won't be here" (see the
London Bombings and Spain Bombings as proof of this folly) not
sticking. One doesn't win a war on terror by going into and creating a
front that attracks some terrorists to go fight, in some erroneous
belief it distracts them. It doesn't work with fighting weeds either.
People need to get a LOT more civil then they are. Let Crawford gather
sides in the Iraq war debate, and just present the facts in a civil
manner. Done right it promotes free speech. Done wrong, we have
trucks running over crosses symbolically put up.

Your problem is that you cannot separate support for Bush and support
for the troops.
Jeezus X Krist, asshead, don't you realize EVEN BUSH **DOES NOT
SUPPORT
THE TROOPS***.
Why in the Hell did he send them to Iraq ill-prepared?
Just THIS WEEK there is news that they are STILL trying to provide
the necessary armor. In the meantime, HOW MANY kids have been
killed by lack of armor????
Yes, I support the troops. When Bush was sending people to war and
simultaneously asking for BIG TAX CUTS for his wealthy friends, I
wrote to my US Senator and asked him to VOTE AGAINST the tax cuts
and use the money to SUPPORT THE TROOPS.
Bush, on the other hand, PREFERRED TAX CUTS FOR HIS CONTRIBUTORS.
I DO NOT support the president. This is obviously a disaster;
we're in the middle of a Civil War in Iraq -- and anyone with
a gram of intelligence would have known that this was the likely
outcome. We're dealing with ethnic/religious/cultural groups
that are different and have hated each other for hundreds of years.
So get up off your ass and note that support for an stupid president
is NOT the same as supporting the troops who were sent there by
mistake and now have to LIVE with that mistake while the man who
sent them there SITS ON HIS ASS IN CRAWFORD, TX.

How convenient.....and wait out the war in the meantime while their country's
military is hemorrhaging. So all you have to do is say you want to be an
officer and go to college to avoid serving your country in time of need.
I bet there were a lot of college students during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam who
would have liked to say, "Can I wait and go when I feel like it?" who didn't get
deferment.

Conservatives on the other hand, are true Patriots. Conservatives believe
in the diversity that is America. Conservatives believe in having a nation
where discourse, disagreement and debate are good things.
Conservatives, like all Good Americans, believe that no law-abiding person
in the United States is inherently "better" than any other, embodying the
founding value that all are created equal, and endowed by their creator by
certain inalienable rights.
Conservatives always listen to and carefully consider opposing points of
view. Conservatives are kind to their neighbors, even when those neighbors
practice a different religion than they do, are a different color than they
are, or have different beliefs than they do.
Conservatives are also highly intelligent, and witty debaters. When they do
openly disagree with someone (rare among these diplomatic folk), it is done
respectfully, thoughtfully, and in a way that promotes open discussion and
debate leading to greater understanding by all.
Oh -- I'm sorry. I thought this was April 1.

Personally I'd rather be killed than lose an arm or, certainly two.
We keep hearing about the killed, but how many amputees? And all
amputations are not equal. Much better to lose both legs than one hand.
How many have lost a hand? How many are blind?

circumstances justified the actions of the accused, or for any reason
which appeals to their logic or passion, the jury has the power to
acquit, and the courts must abide by that decision.

Nah, she thought she was gonna waddle up to Bush and tell him a thing
or two while all those crazy people with different agendas followed
her. Then the war would end. Then they'd find something else to

Most of the people whining about how the president is doing have

Check this out:
AN OPEN LETTER TO GEORGE BUSH
November 4, 2004
Dear George,
You don’t mind if I call you George do you? When you sent me a letter
offering your condolences on the death of my son, Spc. Casey Austin
Sheehan, in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq, you called me Cindy,
so I naturally assume we are on a first name basis.
George, it has been seven months today since your reckless and wanton
foreign policies killed my son, my big boy, my hero, my best-friend:
Casey. It has been seven months since your ignorant and arrogant lack
of planning for the peace murdered my oldest child. It has been two
days since your dishonest campaign stole another election…but you all
were way more subtle this time than in 2000, weren’t you? You hardly
had to get the Supreme Court of the United States involved at all this
week.
You feel so proud of yourself for betraying the country again, don’t
you? You think you are very clever because you pulled the wool over
the eyes of some of the people again. You think that you have some
mandate from God…that you can “spend your political capital” any way
that you want. George you don’t care or even realize that 56,000,000
plus citizens of this country voted against you and your agenda.
Still, you are going to continue your ruthless work of being a divider
and not a uniter. George, in 2000 when you stole that election and the
Democrats gave up, I gave up too. I had the most ironic thought of my
life then: "Oh well, how much damage can he do in four years?" Well,
now I know how much you have damaged my family, this country, and this
world. If you think I am going to allow you another four years to do
even more damage, then you truly are mistaken. I will fight for a true
vote count and if that fails, your impeachment. Also, the impeachment
of your Vice President. The only thing is, I'm not politically savvy,
and I don't have a Karl Rove to plan my strategy, but I do have a big
mouth and a righteous cause, which still mean something in this
country, I hope.
All of this lying, fooling, and betraying must be “hard work” George.
You really think you know what hard work is?
George, let me tell you what “hard work” really is.
Hard work is seeing your oldest son, your brave and honorable
man-child go off to a war that had, and still has, no basis in
reality. Hard work is worrying yourself gray and not being able to
sleep for 2 weeks because you don’t know if your child is safe.
Hard work is seeing your son’s murder on CNN one Sunday evening while
you’re enjoying the last supper you’ll ever truly enjoy again.
Hard work is having three military officers come to your house a few
hours later to confirm the aforementioned murder of your son…your
first born…your kind and gentle sweet baby.
Hard work is burying your child 46 days before his 25th birthday. Hard
work is holding your other three children as they lower the body of
their big “baba” into the ground. Hard work is not jumping in the
grave with him and having the earth cover you both.
But, Dear George, do you know what the hardest work of all is? Trying
to digest the fact that the leader of the country that your family has
fought for and died for, for generations, lied to you and betrayed
your dear boy’s sense of honor and exploited his courage and exploited
his loyalty to his buddies. Hard work is having your country abandon
you after they killed your son. Hard work is coming to the realization
that your son had his future robbed from him and that you have had
your son's future and future grand-children stolen from you. Hard work
is knowing that there are so many people in this world that have
prospered handsomely from your son's death.
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: before too many more families learn the
true meaning of Hard Work. We know it is going to be an uphill battle,
knowing how Republican Congress is, but thanks to you, we know the
meaning of Hard Work and we’re not afraid of hard work at all.
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? If you really had any moral values, or if you were an
honorable man at all you would resign. My son was a man who had high
moral values and true courage. Humanity lost a bright light on April
04, 2004. I will live the rest of my life missing Casey desperately.
Thank you for that, George. Have a nice day.
God Bless America!! We surely need it!

I understand her pain, but this is definitely the way to open a dialog

The 'firing of weapons' you refer to is a man on his own property. He
was sick and tired of the kooks and the media being on his property.
Owning a gun and protecting your private property seem American to me.
What land do YOU live in?

Yeah, and now they're questioning the credibility of a parent whose
son died in the war. Weren't they just all aghast when someone did
that to Sheehan?
Hypocritical douchebags.

The ironic part is that I see that April 1 joke applying to the way a
lot of non-conservatives present themselves in here...

Seriously, do liberals have religious tolerance? I've been flamed as
being a christian more than once like it was the same thing as being a
baby boiler.
And liberals don't think law abiding people are all the same. They
think conservatives are the scum of the earth and deserve to die.
They are intolerant of their views, name call and scream down in
debates...
I assure you that every sarcastic trait demonstrated above could be
shown in this group by liberal posters, and I challenge anyone to deny
it. Of course the liberals I know in real life aren't as caustic, but
maybe it's the nature of the internet that makes people assholes.
Except me. ;)

disagree with them.

Idiots. The Army is an all volunteer force. If they didn't
want to risk combat, they shouldn't have signed up.

He'd talk like that until you got there.

Good point, but these are not real peaceniks. They're the
radical anti-US, anti-Israeli left. They have a ridiculous fear that
the Iraq war could result in a World war (after all, a Frenchman
suggested that it might!), so they think if you're supporting the war
effort, you're endangering their lives. This is the same crowd that
thought the communists were invincible and wanted the US government to
give up during the Cold War. Nutcases every one.
