Demonstrators backing President Bush's war on terrorism traveled to Crawford, Texas, on Friday and Saturday - as the media continued to focus on Gold Star mother Cindy Sheehan's anti-war protest outside Bush's ranch.

Led by syndicated radio host and NewsMax contributor Mike Gallagher, more than 100 pro-Bush demonstrators arrived on Friday, as part of what Gallagher called a "pro-America bus trip."

"This is not about Cindy Sheehan," Gallagher told the Waco Tribune Herald, after leading a chorus of "God Bless America" and "The Star-Spangled Banner." "We're here to support all our troops and all the men and women who died, including [Sheehan's] son. She has the right to believe the way she believes, but we do, too, and that's why we're here."

On Saturday, reinforcements arrived in the form of "The Heart of Texas" Chapter of FreeRepublic.com, which staged a support-the-troops rally that drew 250 people, according to WCBS Newsradio 880.

Rally organizer Kristinn Taylor also stressed that the protest was not an attack on Sheehan.

"It's about supporting the troops, the president and the war on terrorists," he told NewsMax.

"The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is comprised of patriotic Americans, many of whom are veterans or have family members that are serving, or have served in the military," the group said in a press release.

Among those attending the pro-Bush rally was Thomas Zapp, of Richmond, Texas, whose 20-year-old son, Marine Lance Cpl. T.J. Zapp, was killed by a bomb in Iraq on Nov. 8, 2004.

Zapp said that it was unfair for Sheehan to demand a second meeting with the president when many parents of slain GIs, like himself, have not even had a single meeting.

"I have not met with President Bush," he told the Tribune-Herald. "Why should she get to meet with President Bush again?" "I firmly believe our president is sincere with what we have to do and I believe that he's under enormous pressure and he's doing the best he can. I'm here to support him," Zapp added.

FUNNY STORY FROM RALLY

My hubby, Blastus, was talking to some of the lefties as they drove by our rally area. One lady was looking for the Cindy rally and wanted to know if the parking lot after ours was for her. He said it was but that it was reserved for hybrid cars only. She turned around. LOL. They are so gullible.

From last night:

Guess I will go ahead and post some rally report news here. My hubby Blastus, me and the freeper jrs. arrived about 11:30 a.m. Basil, DoctorRauel (sp?), Gracey, DrewsDad, TheBatLady(Lady Libery) were already on site. We helped set up and waited for everyone else.

In the beginning I thought I was going to be disappointed as we had already made one wrong turn and drove by the "hippie house" first. Folks there were holding "Cindy's Rally" signs. A quick call to basil got us to the right street. Basil told us to go down the road about a mile and we would see them on the left. Well, we went down the road and saw a big parking lot full of cars! My heart just about stopped. Then it sank when we drove by and figured out it was also for "Cindy's Rally". We had our window down and a "lady" asked us if we were there for Cindy. Hubby said he wasn't sure, was she there for Cindy? When she said "yes" we knew we were in the wrong location. We said we were here to support the troops as we turned around. Of course she said she was there to support them also and in fact her daughter was one of them! So now we know that there are more Casey's in this world whose parents undermine them at every opportunity.

We started the rally a bit late as we knew some folks were still on their way. It worked out well as it gave time for interviews. Dr.R and Basil did a great job. I was surprised that we had as much press coverage as we did. Even after the rally hubby was talking with a guy from an independent radio show. There was also a lady from Germany doing a documentary. I think I have that correct.

The Marine Moms and the soldier who spoke were just wonderful. Also, DrewsDad's son, did a great job reading the "If not for the soldier" (can't remember official name). Dad should be very proud.

Enjoyed meeting lots of freepers who we have only known by freep name. Blastus enjoyed talking to the secret service guy, the police and the lefties driving by. He also questioned them about the gas mileage on their oil burning, gas guzzling SUVs, trucks and minivans. I don't think we saw one protester on a bike! He did compliment the few he saw walking to their rally but we know they had a oil burner parked somewhere! They also had "shuttles" going back and forth all day.

One thing I'm not sure is clear on this thread is that our rally was not out by Cindy Sheehan. There were freepers out there but it wasn't the HOT Chapter rally. Maybe the left freaked out because they saw us at two locations.

Update Apparently Blastus talked to Guy James after the rally. Guy James is a leftie with a radio show in Florida and Texas(?). (BTW..his webpage says he is in financial trouble. So sad..SARCASM) He didn't stick around long and his main objective was to try to get someone to say the rally was about Cindy and not the troops. Didn't work. He also told my hubby that "you can support the troops at home". THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT FOLKS! THEY WANT YOU TO STAY HOME! DON'T GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT!

Have a good one !

You are full of shit Torog. Most people want all the HUGE amounts of aid going to Israel to stop....We are not taking care of our children HERE and you want to sends billions to one of the riches nations in the world. The antisemetic card has been played into the ground. The jewish people got such a bad shake with hilter it created a sympathy backlash that has allowed the Israel government to get away with murder..literally. It is not the JEWISH people where the problem lies it is with the Government of Israel. Their own Isreali soldiers are refusing to kill palestians. You really should do your research...being anti Israeli government is NOT BEING ANTI SEMETIC

You are never going to get a grasp of reality if you are constantly going to make this a Conservative liberal thing. "liberal" or "conservative" are just catch phases for people that are too stupid to understand what is really going on ...blame it in a liberal or conservative.. step outside the box for once.

Howdy Blue Cat,

'Most people' don't want the aid to Israel stopped..the only ones that want it stopped,are those intent on destroying Israel and folks like you,who don't understand what will happen,if we abandon Israel and force them to use every weapon in their arsenal..to survive against the arab world.

Islam was created not for spiritual enlightenment,but as a means of wiping out all Jews, Christians and infidels, to create a world-wide Islamic State of Darfur.

Since most liberals don't understand military strategy or tactics,whereas conservatives do..it is a left/right issue.

Have a good one ...

1st Islam has been around since approx. 600 AD it was not created to take down the jews.....do some research as to when it came about and why. You really do need to back up stupid remarks like that.

2nd since you are a "conservative" and according to your logic you must "get" the foreign policy that I am just too dumb to understand...so enlighten me.

Explain the following....
A few highlights of recent US Foreign Policy ...

CIA's overthrow of democratic governments in Guatemala, Brazil, Chile, Guyana, Iran, Indonesia and Congo.

CIA's overthrow of Iraq's government in 60's and installation of Saddam.

US terrorism in Nicaragua leading to condemnation by the World Court.

CIA training and support of death squads and repressive secret police in Iran, Indonesia, El Salvador, Chile, Guatemala and Vietnam.

And don't just give some shit kicker phases....explain them one at a time...no hurry.
Share some of that infinite good ol boy wisdom of yours.
