Send backup! Not enough dicks!
Ugh.
The camp is named "Fort Qualls" in memory of Marine Lance Cpl. Louis Wayne Qualls, 20, killed in Fallujah, Iraq, last fall. His father, Gary Qualls of Temple, said his 16-year-old son also wants to enlist, and he supports that decision.
"If I have to sacrifice my whole family for the sake of our country and world, other countries that want freedom, I'll do that," said Qualls, a friend of the local business owner who started the pro-Bush camp, Bill Johnson.
Hey, old man, you don't get to sacrifice your family for the sake of anything.
Qualls gained attention last week when he went to Sheehan's camp, which has hundreds of crosses as a tribute to troops killed, and removed one bearing his son's name. But he said protesters keep replacing it; he has yanked two more crosses, saying the protesters' views are disrespectful to soldiers.
Umm... what? Are the protesters serious? Not only are they claiming ownership of their kids, now they're claiming ownership of other people's kids? That's the most disgusting thing I've read, lately. (How much attention did he gain, by the way? This is the first I've heard about it) I guess it makes sense in context, though. ("That's why MoveOn told people to bring pictures of children even if they aren't in the military, and organizers handed out stickers saying 'mom' and 'uncle' and so forth, even if the 'son' or 'nephew' wasn't in Iraq.")
"We're asking for a meeting with the president, period," said Michelle DeFord, whose 37-year-old son, Sgt. David W. Johnson, was in the Army National Guard from Oregon when he was killed in Iraq last fall. "We don't want to debate with people who don't understand our point of view."
Yeah, because then you might have to actually defend your disgusting actions. But hey, while you don't want to debate people who disagree with you, you seem to be all for meeting with the prez. That makes plenty of sense. I guess you just want to yell at him. Why don't you just yell at Fort Qualls' cardboard cutout of him? It'll accomplish about the same amount.
"More assholes! We need more assholes!"
