Reality Hits Camp Casey

The last 10 minutes have been very difficult here. I am at the Peace House editing video. First came a phone call that someone drove their vehicle over the Arlington West Crosses at the camp. I will head out to the camp now to get more details.

Within minutes one of the volunteers logged on to a website and learned that her friend was killed in Iraq. She burst into tears, Cindy was sitting across the room and immediately moved over to comfort her. What a reality check.

6. I thought RWers loved crosses?
Guy James said he will surprised if a major incident doesn't happen by the end of the month by the RWers. Today there was the property owner who shot his rifle in the air, this evening someone ran over the crosses.

Hopefully this will be last of the problems, but given the cons penchant for blind violence against people they disagree with, I doubt it.

7. How awful
But it does once again show, perhaps more than ever, the hypocracy and stupidity of the right wingnuts.

8. my thoughts and prayers are with you all down there...
for the volunteer...nothing i can say can take your pain away..other than you have my love, this child of ours lost will always stay in my heart..he fought in my name..i can never forget what this victim of bushes war did for us and for his nation!

its bush i will never forgive for his lying and callous deceit to this soldier..

and to all who were lost to us..that the crosses symbolized..i will hold them in my heart...forever...

and for the sick bastards who would call themselves patriots or who have said for 2 years support the troops while they do nothing but help kill our troops with their support of this psychopath in our white house..i hope they rot in hell..hell will be too good for them! the blood is on their hands..and to mow down those crosses only shows the world how sick and evil they are!

9. Please forgive this if I sound bitter, but isn't it the
"Christian " way to be violent and try to harm those who do not agree with you? I really believe they want to kill all of us who are not of like mind.Bush has enabled the violent ones out there and he loves it.They will take care of his "problems" in the name of God. Seems all to familiar to me--<1939 to 1945> A whole huge group of unstable mental personalities are unleashed.
