Texas Town Disturbed by Sheehan, Protests...

[Bzzzz]

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- Like many folks in President Bush's adopted hometown, 83-year-old Robert Westerfield isn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat for the town's newest resident: war protester Cindy Sheehan.

"I wish she'd stay away. Crawford's a Republican town, and she's a dumb Democrat," Westerfield, a lifelong Crawford resident, said Friday while sitting on a bench outside a gas station on Main Street.

Sheehan, whose monthlong war protest near Bush's ranch last summer attracted more than 10,000 demonstrators, recently bankrolled the purchase of a 5-acre parcel near downtown to be used for future protests, including one next month.

5. I'd ask him if he was against private land ownership

"Are you sayin' that it ain't right for a woman to buy land if she's got the money? Seems to me that it's between the landowner and her, and none of your darned business."

6. Oh, fuck that old fart.

"Dumb democrats" are the reason he is able to sit his stupid old ass on a bench outside of a gas station and reveal his bone-ignorance by flapping the valves of his sewer trap.

Bet ol' stupidass hasn't thought of that (if, in fact, he thinks at all).

7. OK, now there should be segregation based upon political party?

What original thinking on the part of Mr. Westerfield

9. Some hick repug dude in TX with no teeth and a wad

of chaw in his mouth, adjusting his denim suspenders and spittin in a cup and drinkin' a brewski at 9am, calling Democrats "dumb."

Oh, the irony.

10. George Bush is going to be cutting his vacation short because

of Ms. Sheehan. If I were a resident of that town, I would be thanking her profusely.

12. If the heartland starts getting uncomfortable, that's progress

People who think a yellow ribbon = patriotism and support for troops in some far away abstract war need a dose of reality.

There is a reason the junta won't allow photos of flag draped coffins coming into Dover. That might lead to a reckoning.

There is a reason for changes in laws about media ownership. More open access to media might lead to a reckoning.

There is a reason for the constant barrage of lies and emotional hot button straw men. A lull in the national conversation might lead to a reckoning.

There is a reason folks don't want to be around others with a different viewpoint.
It might lead to some self appraisal and reflection. THAT would lead to a reckoning
