Apparently Not ALL Rednecks are Assholes

In a story that leads me to believe there may yet be some hope for Texas, a rancher in Crawford has offered a parcel of his land near the Bush "ranch" to the peace protestors at Camp Casey.

Of course, in an ironic twist, the rancher is Fred Mattlage, a distant cousin of Larry Mattlage, the man who fired his shotgun into the air near the protestors a couple of days ago. I guess this proves that just because one person in a family is a moronic asshat, that doesn't mean that everyone else in that family is the same way.

To Fred Mattlage, I say this: Well done, sir! You have proven that in a hot situation, cool heads can still prevail, and that violence is not the solution to every problem--despite what our president seems to think!

And to Cindy Sheehan, I say this: Keep it up! The country needs more people like you, who stand up to our political leaders and tell them in no uncertain terms that they are wrong. People need to learn that dissent is not unpatriotic--it is, in fact, quite the opposite!
