CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - At least one of President Bush's neighbors in Crawford, Texas, seems to be getting fed up with a growing anti-war protest. As dozens of demonstrators gathered on the road leading to the president's ranch, a shot was fired into the air. Deputies rushed to the home of Larry Mattlage, who admitted firing his shotgun, but he says it was to prepare for dove-hunting season. When asked if he had another motive, he said, "Figure it out for yourself." Mattlage says he wasn't threatening anyone, adding, "This is Texas." The anti-war vigil began earlier this month. It was started by Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in action in Iraq. She says she plans to stay outside the Bush ranch for three more weeks.

Somehow that doesn't seem real smart, an empty threat that makes our side look like thugs.

Need about 100 good ole boys firing guns randomly. Throw in some country music on loudspeakers and some fine Texas red meat BBQ. The granola birkenstock crowd should flee in terror. As a last resort bring out bars of soap, deodorant, and garden hoses. Threaten to wash them.

Thugs? Is that how you see one who safely and legally fires a weapon his own property? You sure you are on the right board?

2. Amazingly that shot down the only person who has a lick of sense.

Idiots who shoot their gun in the air often forget that what comes up, must come down. The odd death every New Years day (people celebrating by unloading in their backyard) is proof of that.

I love the 'hippy' comment. as if anyone who disagrees with them is automatically a hippy.

and the East Texas anti-Teer-Wrist camp pic is priceless. Great way to show the kids gun responsibility...you get drunk, they shoot weopons off of a car hood. These are the kind of gun owners who jokingly aim loaded firearms at each other.
