Cindy Sheehan Has Bought Five Acres of Land in Crawford

Cindy has scammed her way into ownership of five acres of undeveloped land in Crawford, Texas, but all is not well in Moonbat Paradise. It seems they can't get running water, sewer-piping or electricity, so it's back to the Stone Age for Crazy Cindy and her looney friends. Read the whole story including the reason why her trip to Crawford will be a porta-potty experience!

The land was purchased using her son's life insurance money. "I can't think of a better way to use Casey's insurance money than for peace," well, that and your brand new VW convertible, of course.

UPDATE:

Work at the new five-acre Moonbat nest has come to a halt. It seems that the permit request has to be sent by the Crawford City Clerk to TXDOT, but alas, the City Clerk is on vacation. Needless to say, City crews have stopped working. It may be 10 days or more before the City Clerk returns from vacation, submits the permits and gets the approved permits back from the State. source That will be just about the time President Bush is packing up to head back to Washington, DC. Coincidentally, that will be roughly the time-frame when the bulk of Cindy's Moonbats arrive. A week or two later, they may have running water, sewer lines and electricity. Or NOT. Cindy Sheehan was not well-liked before in Crawford and after seeing how she tricked one of the locals into selling the land to her front-man, that felling is very likely to have worsened. When a city-slicker from Berkeley, California, makes a fool of a member of this tight-knit community of less than 800, that's sure to raise more than a few hackles. I don't expect that the City workers will be busting their chops to get the work done in a hurry. So after she gets back from her trip to Amman, Jordan, and makes her way to Crawford, it's porta-potties, generators and bottled water. Historically, July and August are the hottest months of the year in Crawford, but August is when the humidity really hits, so that even 88 degrees feels like 96 and the temps could easily hit 109 degrees with 70% humidity. Enjoy, Cindy!!!

What do you do when you want to throw a party and you've got nowhere to hold it?

In August of 2005, Cindy went to camp in a roadside ditch in Crawford, Texas, in hopes of annoying President Bush. Like flies to, something or other, Moonbats from all across America were drawn to her side. Worried that some of the slower moving Moonbats might wander onto the rural roadway and fall victim to natural selection, a Crawford resident, Fred Mattlage, let Cindy and her followers camp on a one-acre patch of ground he owned about a mile from the President's ranch. Mattlage, then 52 years old, was a former member of the famed 82nd Airborne, and while he had, and still has misgivings about the way the war in Iraq is being handled, made the gesture out of compassion, not out of support for Sheehan. His cousin Larry Mattlage felt a bit less compassion and tried to express his displeasure at the Moonbats by emptying a couple of rounds of buckshot into the air, but with no discernable effect.

Fast-forward to July of 2006. Sheehan had announced that she intended to return to Mattlage's pasture, but when he asked her and her organization to pay the $6,000 to $9,000 to cover liability insurance and sign a waiver that she ond the other Moonbats would hold him harmless for any accidents, Cindy refused and accused him of holding her "hostage". Things went downhill from there.

President Bush has traditionally spent some Holidays and the last two weeks of August at his ranch. This year he really screwed up Cindy's schedule by deciding to spend the first to weeks of August, rather than the last two, at his ranch. He didn't even have the decency to check with Crazy Cindy before changing his plans. What nerve!

So now Sheehan has hundreds of Moonbats planning to join her in Camp Whatever-She's-Calling-It-This-Week and the President won't even be there. Worse yet, she has no land on which to camp and the County has put new laws in place barring people from camping in the ditches!

She could just fly down to Dallas, rent a car and drive South down highway 35 to Waco. From there she could take 84 West to 317 and then it's just a short drive North to Crawford. Once there, she could just contact a realtor and buy a patch of land as a site for the Moonbat nest. The problem was that she was quite clear that no one in Crawford was going to sell to her. The solution? She sent one of her minions, Gerry Fonseca, a displaced native of New Orleans who has been living with relative in Eagle Rock, Missouri and at the Crawford "Peace House", to act as a "beard" and buy the land on her behalf. Fonseca himself said, "If Cindy Sheehan came to town, I don't think anybody would have sold her any property."

He paid $52,500 for five acres about one mile out of town on 317 and about seven miles from the President's ranch. The land itself is a roughly 50/50 mix of woods and pasture. The land was purchased from Crawford resident Bobby D. Ramsey, who said he was unaware before the sale that it would be used by Sheehan to host Camp Casey in August. "He (Fonseca) said he was going to build a home and, one day, a shop (on the land)," Ramsey said when interviewed by the Waco Tribune at his home, which adjoins the property in Crawford. "He told me that Katrina wiped him out.. . . . It didn’t even occur to me that he could use it for this." Fonseca confirmed he never indicated to his new neighbors that the land would be transferred to Sheehan, but he said that was always the plan. While Fonseca's (who was in charge of security at Camp Casey last Easter) name is on the deed now, ownership of the land will be transferred to Sheehan in September. Cindy's explanation for re-locating farther away from President Bush's ranch? "we have now grown out of Camp Casey II and we needed to move on to bigger property."

Having scammed her way into ownership of land in Crawford, Cindy now faces the prospect of throwing a party without the star attraction (President Bush) being in attendance. He has announced that he will be leaving Crawford on August on the 14th and Cindy's gathering was slated to begin on the 16th! Cindy has responded by spinning the story and changing her schedule. She is racing to get the word out, vis Michael Moore's site and the rest of the Moonbat network, that her party will now begin on the 12th, instead of the 16th. These damn heads of state are so unpredictable. They seem to think they can just come and go as they please.

Cindy's story?:

"We have been advertising that Camp Casey was going to begin on the 16th of August, so George is now going to his ranch in Crawford until the 14th. Since he didn't visit his ranch at Easter for the first time since he has been President, we are beginning to believe that he is frightened of us. It can't be because we are a physical threat to him: We have proven to be peaceful and non-violent -- so it must be that he is afraid of the truth and too cowardly to, again, face grieving families and thousands of others who adamantly oppose his murderous policies. Consequently, we will begin Camp Casey on August 12th so we can at least share part of the summer with Georgie. We will still run Camp Casey until Sept. 2nd. There is so much to do.

Cindy's brain-dead comment:

"Consequently, we will begin Camp Casey on August 12th so we can at least share part of the summer with Georgie"

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy. You will only "share part of the summer with" President George Bush, in the same sense that you will "share" it with PM Tony Blair, Tony Danza, Walter Cronkite or Stephen Hawking. You and the rest of us are orbiting the sun together, but that's about it.

Oh, and where you ask, did Sheehan get the money to buy the land? Just like the brand new VW convertable she bought for herself, it was paid for by Casey's life insurance.
