More heart-ache: St. Cindy quits the anti-war movement

Yesterday she violated Rule One of nutroots politics as articulated by the Chairman himself: she undermined the Democratic Party.
Twenty-four abusive hours later, on a day dedicated to honor people like her son, Mother Sheehan’s decided it’s time to pitch one last attention-getting fit and then take her absolute moral authority ball and go home.
I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my protests to George Bush and the Republican Party. Of course, I was slandered and libeled by the right as a “tool” of the Democratic Party. This label was to marginalize me and my message. How could a woman have an original thought, or be working outside of our “two-party” system?
However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the “left” started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used…
The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing…
I am going to take whatever I have left and go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost. I will try to maintain and nurture some very positive relationships that I have found in the journey that I was forced into when Casey died and try to repair some of the ones that have fallen apart since I began this single-minded crusade to try and change a paradigm that is now, I am afraid, carved in immovable, unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble…
This is my resignation letter as the “face” of the American anti-war movement. This is not my “Checkers” moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.
Good-bye America …you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.
She’s not thinking of Nixon’s “Checkers” speech, she’s thinking of the press conference he gave after losing the California gubernatorial race in 1962. Wrong to the bitter end.

Awwwwww… How cute!
Misha I on May 28, 2007 at 3:28 PM
Don’t let the door hitcha’ where the good Lord splitcha’.
SuperManGreenLantern on May 28, 2007 at 3:32 PM
Cindy announces she quits anti-war movement…. crickets heard throughout the land.
Warner Todd Huston on May 28, 2007 at 3:35 PM
Doesn’t the second paragraph confirm that she was a tool of the left. So maybe that label wasn’t just to marginalize her. Maybe it was just accurate. And now she should realize that she was just a tool of the left, just like she used her son as a tool to become the darling of the left.
cmay on May 28, 2007 at 3:37 PM
How does it feel?
To be on your own.
To be a complete unknown.
Like a Tool.
Kini on May 28, 2007 at 3:37 PM
“immovable, unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble”
Wha??
BJ* on May 28, 2007 at 3:38 PM
So what next for Mama Moonbat? I hear Hugo needs infobabes for his new TV station.
Ellen on May 28, 2007 at 3:38 PM
We won? We… won… We won. We won! We won!!! HOLY CRAP, WE WON!!!
JinxMcHue on May 28, 2007 at 3:40 PM
And the Soviet Union is gone.
Sucks to be you, St. Cindy of the Ditch.
Misha I on May 28, 2007 at 3:40 PM
… but I’ll happily continue using the freedom you provide to go home and do whatever to whichever relationships with anybody who’ll still acknowledge my existence.
Anwyn on May 28, 2007 at 3:43 PM
I wonder what she will do when she goes home to “patch up relationships” and then is rejected by her family. If she were my mother I wouldn’t want her around.
Neocon Peg on May 28, 2007 at 3:45 PM
Oh pity, pity, watch the poor lefty through herself on her sword of rightousness. I feel your pain St. Cindy!! NOT!!!!
Barf
P. James Moriarty on May 28, 2007 at 3:47 PM
What, is St. Cindy moving to that deee-luxe apartment in the Venezuelan sky?
Kid from Brooklyn on May 28, 2007 at 3:48 PM
Ooops, through = throw
P. James Moriarty on May 28, 2007 at 3:48 PM
I wonder if her BF in Berkely kicked her out, and that is why she is returning to her family?
pabo on May 28, 2007 at 3:51 PM
Does this mean she’s officially out of the running for Rosie’s spot on “The View”?
Blacklake on May 28, 2007 at 3:54 PM
Remember her book signing?
pabo on May 28, 2007 at 3:57 PM
get out and don’t come back!!! Go to Venezuela!
Defector01 on May 28, 2007 at 3:59 PM
Oh, now she’s a victim because she’s “a woman”. I smell joint comeback with her and Rosie. Look for it in early 2008.
No he didn’t.
Please do.
Please don’t.
RightWinged on May 28, 2007 at 4:04 PM
She quit, but who wrote the letter?
- The Cat
MirCat on May 28, 2007 at 4:06 PM
Would anyone like to pitch in and get her a one-way ticket to Venesuela?
Mazztek on May 28, 2007 at 4:09 PM
No, but I’ll give her a row boat and a push towards Cuba.
conservativecaveman on May 28, 2007 at 4:14 PM
Yea, sometimes I also hang out with a thesaurus while trying to keep a thought movin’.
Maybe she’s going to take her Che tee-shirt and an AK-47 and do a little peoples’ peace training in Venezuela.
eeyore on May 28, 2007 at 4:16 PM
Trying to re-start that 15 minute egg-timer, Cindy?
Proof positive that you were (and in my opinion, are) a tool.
ej_pez on May 28, 2007 at 4:19 PM
Like all whores this particular “attention whore” was tossed aside by her users once she was no longer of any usefulness.
It was said by many conservatives that she was being used and they have said so from the beginning. She may not have believed it then (if she even heard about it) but does now.
Unfortunately, like Barbra Streisand’s final tour was not really her last tour, this “attention whore” will unfortunately also be back.
However, on this day we honor her son Casey’s other’s sacrifices above all else.
swampleg on May 28, 2007 at 4:20 PM
“Rigidly mendacious marble.” The woman does know how to turn a phrase… into garbage.
Jim Treacher on May 28, 2007 at 4:24 PM
I wonder if she will continue to live in her tree house.
DannoJyd on May 28, 2007 at 4:28 PM
Did my last post disappear in the bit bucket? Again?
georgej on May 28, 2007 at 4:31 PM
Is that with uterus, or without?
Kid from Brooklyn on May 28, 2007 at 4:32 PM
Today we honor those, like her son, that have fallen in service to this country. I’ve pointedly tried not to give this woman much thought but as I read through the other comments here some thoughts are inevitable.
She lost her son, no mtter how honarable it sucks.
She was used by the left. Regardless if she realized then or not, it sucks.
She has lost her husband and alienated her other children and that sucks.
She has finally come to understand that she has been used by those she thought friends and that sucks.
Which leeads to the most profound quote of the day….
conservativecaveman on May 28, 2007 at 4:33 PM
Memo to La Sheehan:
The leftie pimps used you like a whore until you dried up. They will find another. There’s always another, St. Cindy. You are not as important as you were made to believe. It was never about you, dumbass.
Have a great day!
SouthernGent on May 28, 2007 at 5:19 PM
And the last horse crosses the finish line.
ZK on May 28, 2007 at 5:26 PM
Yep. I learned the hard way. “Democrats are for the commmon man,” they told me and, like so many other fools before me, I believed them.
Then I found out that being “for the common man” meant disarming the common man and taxing him into poverty. So I wised up. Some people never wise up.
Ali-Bubba on May 28, 2007 at 5:33 PM
God, I wish I could believe that.
Sean M. on May 28, 2007 at 5:35 PM
Cindy Who? *snicker*
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on May 28, 2007 at 5:48 PM
Wished she would have said this:
“This is not the country that I love, but you all knew that! I love Venezuela and now I’m going to go there to be with Chavez.”
Neocon Peg on May 28, 2007 at 5:49 PM
Casey: R.I.P. soldier.
Cindy: Don’t go away mad, just go away.
infidel4life on May 28, 2007 at 6:03 PM
“Good-bye America …you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.
It’s up to you now.”
This woman thought she could change me. But it’s over now. We’re through. There is no “it’s up to you now” crap, Cindy. You said it’s over, it’s over. Outta the house!
How dramatic. I think someone’s been reading too many romance novels.
Kevin R on May 28, 2007 at 6:09 PM
Cindy Sheehan is as disposable to the left as Norma McCorvey was after her lies were used to force the abortion culture on the nation. Perhaps Cindy will finally have the lights turned on, just as Norma did.
Stranger things have happened.
Veritas on May 28, 2007 at 6:18 PM
This is from the comments. Nice.
Sammy316 on May 28, 2007 at 6:18 PM
Ms. Sheehan melting??? I call BS!
Metro on May 28, 2007 at 6:23 PM
Hey Cindy……Hugs and kisses from Chavez. I hear he might have a spot for you to fill on his new TV station.
GT on May 28, 2007 at 6:25 PM
St Cindy is leaving because she’s been offered a staring role on the new Hugo TV channel.
When EVERYBODY says you a nut, at least one person in that EVERYBODY…is right!
Speakup on May 28, 2007 at 6:34 PM
Someone should buy it and put up a big sign that says something like, “Sorry about that whole ‘Camp Casey’ thing. Thank you President Bush.”
Farmer_Joe on May 28, 2007 at 6:39 PM
What a minute…
She just nowrealized that her son “died for nothing”? Isn’t that what she’s been screaming at the top of her lungs all this time? And it just now occurred to her?
A tool, certainly. My Crescent wrench isn’t that stupid.
Lancer on May 28, 2007 at 6:45 PM
Wait… she just said “Goodbye America”…
Does that mean she’s leaving? Putting her actions to her words??? or…
Is she going to continue to live in the country she despises?
Please Cindy… why don’t you go over to Saudi Arabia, and take a tour of the great mosques, unannounced and by yourself…. they would show you the real meaning of what you accuse America of being.
Romeo13 on May 28, 2007 at 6:47 PM
Let’s hope she will go home now and truly grieve the loss of her son.
ulyses on May 28, 2007 at 6:50 PM
I don’t understand why she doesn’t go to one of the countries of these despot dictators she loves so much since she has no use for the US. These lefties just have no value in their word. Alec Baldwin is still here too. If life is so terrible here, why don’t they just get the heck out?
katieanne on May 28, 2007 at 6:51 PM
That’s the sad part. This idiot never did really get around to the whole grief process until now, after she’s made political hay out of her son’s death and become a shameless attention whore. She’s blown all her time and energy carrying the left’s water, and in the process has alienated the very people she will soon need the most.
In the end, she will have no one to lean on when the worst of it finally hits her. And like Norma McCorvey, her lefty “friends” will be nowhere in sight.
CurtZHP on May 28, 2007 at 7:05 PM
Cindy should of remembered that it shouldn’t of ever been about her. Casey’s death should of been about Casey.
Cindy’s mistake was to try and make Casey’s death a crusade. She didn’t fail him, she made a laughingstock of herself. Casey is still an honorable man, he died in service to all of us, and no one, not even his loony mother, can take his honorable legacy of service from him.
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on May 28, 2007 at 7:25 PM
Wondering, perhaps, if she’s contemplating a move to a place where the grass may be greener for her, like Venezuela?
Webutante on May 28, 2007 at 7:40 PM
I never knew megalomania had a first name.
Now I surely know it does.
Cindy.
Carved in immovable, irrascible, irreconcilable, impacable, irridescent, immutable marble.
With a Latin phrase beneath:
Struit insidias lacrimis cum femina plorat.
profitsbeard on May 28, 2007 at 7:43 PM
I guess, St. Cindy had an epiphany…That the Lunatic Left hates Bush, and the Republican Party, more than they loved Casey.
*lightbulb*
franksalterego on May 28, 2007 at 7:49 PM
Could we see Rosie and Cindy vanish in the same week? Victory!
God bless Casey this Memorial day.
Hening on May 28, 2007 at 7:50 PM
Sad. Leftists just can’t go the distance anymore. I truly hope she stay out of the limelight. I doubt it, but I hope she disappears into obscurity.
jaleach on May 28, 2007 at 7:52 PM
She’ll be back…like a herpes sore.
scarchin on May 28, 2007 at 8:20 PM
Gosh, I wonder what will happen when she realizes Yooooou GO Chavez is also selling out the movement and she turns on him? I’ll give it 24 hours before there’s countless tangy bits o’ Cindy rotating endlessly stuffed within weiners at Citgos across the country.
Steve LLamabutcher on May 28, 2007 at 8:43 PM
Uh, bye, bye Cindy; don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out! I certainly hope I will never see your ugly ass face again, anytime or anywhere. “Going to be a mother to her other siblings?” Cute! What have you been doing for them for the past three years when you were running the President and the country down?” Like a cockroach I know you will be back, so in the mean time Hasta Lavista!
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on May 28, 2007 at 9:15 PM
Maybe she’ll go shack up with Hugo.
vcferlita on May 28, 2007 at 9:28 PM
I read the complete text of Sheehan’s swan song and I must admit I was impressed by it. She does not come across as a wide-eyed, America hating anarchist’s which are the backbone of the so-called ‘peace movement’.
Upper-most was the fact that it took her 2 years before she realized that she was being used by a “movement that often puts personal egos above peace and human life”.
They wined and dined her and sent her all over the world to be seen rubbing elbows with various dictators, but as soon as they felt she was no longer useful, they unceremoniously spit her out like a bad chaw of tobacco.
So, let this be a warning to others who might be thinking of emulating Sheehan. If you go into the ‘peace movement’ be sure to tell them the brand of your favorite chewing tobacco.
The ‘peace movement’ is a misnomer. A more appropriate name would be the ‘anarchist movement’.
The ‘anarchist movement’, for years, has used the Democrat party as a front group for their anti-everything causes because they found it easy to co-opt them by dangling dollar bills in front of their noses.
Anarchists could care less about peace. Peace is anathema to them. The more the pot is boiling the better they like it. They are users and usurpers.
Their so-called ‘peace movement’ is just a means to an end - the total destruction of America and all it stands for.
I believe, in the end, Sheehan realized that she made a mistake by getting into the movement, because when all was said and done, they neither respected her or her son.
Finally, it is obvious from some of the commenters that they did not read her letters. The letters, no matter what you think of her, are impressive. Allah published only part of them. I suggest you read them in their entirety.
pocomoco on May 28, 2007 at 10:12 PM
Sheehan is just another example of what the left, and dems, are all about.
They have used her, and the war, as mere political tools to ferment their agenda. Dems have no soul nor even a hint of decency.
She finally figured this out…on the grave of her son.
serenevalley on May 28, 2007 at 10:19 PM
But she’s still on her fast-4-peace right?
DANEgerus on May 28, 2007 at 10:20 PM
Mrs. Sheehan has finally, so slowly, realized what we knew all along - that the parties are shameless, and that none are more shameless than the far lefties.
Any grown up who writes for others, and uses “you know” twice, in such a short segment, is an idiot.
Entelechy on May 28, 2007 at 10:46 PM
I’ve always tended to go easy on St. Cindy because, personally, I considered her to be mentally unstable.
But even she should be able to put 2 and 2 together.
1. She was NOT the tool of the left, she insists.
2. But when the left ditched her, she found there was nowhere to go but “home.”
Labamigo on May 28, 2007 at 10:50 PM
Thank You, ELF. Good thought there.
Thank You, Casey, and all our Brave Fallen.
This Average American thanks you from the bottom of his heart for making it possible for me to have the Freedom to make my American Dreams come true.
There is no more Nobel Gift a human can bestow.
techno_barbarian on May 28, 2007 at 11:28 PM
I wonder if this means an end to her monthly moveon soros check?
Speakup on May 28, 2007 at 11:47 PM
She’s no longer the “face” of the anti-war movement? What an unfortunate choice of words.
I’ll just leave it at that, out of respect for Casey.
Tony737 on May 28, 2007 at 11:55 PM
Freudianly speaking, this woman has needs!
Maybe there’s a statue of Chavez somewhere whose unbendable, rigidly mendacious marble will have a positive effect on her besotted, bodaciously bloviating basalt!
Basalt; 1. A hard, dense, dark volcanic rock.
2. A kind of hard unglazed pottery.
Pick one–they sound like Cindi’s brain to me.
smellthecoffee on May 29, 2007 at 12:01 AM
Man, first Tokyo-Rosie gets smacked down by EH and leaves the View, now Cindy “Everyone Hates Imperialist America” Sheehan quits the anti-war movement…what a great week!
Seriously, I do feel for her losing her son as I do for all those that lost loved ones on the altar of freedom, but she truly is a tool and she has no one else to blame for it except herself. She allowed her grief to cloud her judgement about what is really going on in regard to the WOT, and while I know she was used by the left she is ultimately responsible for her actions, period!
I want to salute and thank all those currently serving to protect me and all the people of this great nation and to all those that made the ultimate sacrifice (especially Sheehan’s son Casey) but I absolutely refused to give Sheehan any quarter for she has done nothing but damaged our nation, slandered our president, provided aid and comfort to our enemies, and most of all she tarnished the memory of her son Casey, one of our nations fallen heroes!
Also, she will never be able to repair the damage that she did with her family, if they do forgive her then they are much more christian than me…I just couldn’t bring myself to forgive her, ever!
Liberty or Death on May 29, 2007 at 12:21 AM
GOOD RIDDANCE!
msipes on May 29, 2007 at 12:30 AM
Cindy would make an ugly guy.
mylegsareswollen on May 29, 2007 at 12:49 AM
I am going to take whatever I have left and go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost. I will try to maintain and nurture some very positive relationships that I have found in the journey that I was forced into when Casey died and try to repair some of the ones that have fallen apart since I began this single-minded crusade to try and change a paradigm that is now, I am afraid, carved in immovable, unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble…
Go home to her children? Hmmmm. Priorities, schm-iorities.
Single-minded crusade? Well, at least she recognzises it for what it was.
It’s all about me.
notthisgirl on May 29, 2007 at 2:53 AM
I seem to recall that back in the 1970’s, “acid rock” was labeled as such because one had to be high on LSD to properly enjoy it.
So maybe St. Cindy’s letters are “acid verse”?
immmmmmmmm………pressive….
(sigh)
pocomo, you make her out to be a sincere, if misguided, hapless mom who “joined” the peace movement. But if that were true, rather than act like her son were a tender, young, deceived casualty of Chimpy McBushHitlerHalliburtonOilCo, she would have been honest and have spent a far greater portion of her time trying to understand and appreciate what it was that her son fought and died for, especially since he had just recently re-enlisted. Blame? Sure, there’s a lot of blame to go around. Instead of going after any particular politician, perhaps (in this alternate, “acid Cindy” reality where she was sincere, thoughtful, and honest) she would have dealt squarely with the root of the problem: a militarily strong America that is so multiculturally sensitive and domestically politically power-hungry that it loses
its resolve to fight the moment the first Soldier’s corpse is dragged in front of enemy cameras.
St. Cindy could have honored her son’s sacrifice and stood to defend its ideals against Americans who forgot that Slick (Clinton) was pushing publicly to commit troops to Iraq back in 1998; who forgot that Saddam was rattling his saber at home and abroad while funding Pali suicide bombers and giving safe haven to terrorists of any stripe; and who forgot that wars are not fought to “minimize collateral damage”, but rather, to win.
She could have done those things, and much more. Instead, there was no lie too pretty to ignore, no truth too honorable to fight against, and no fact that she couldn’t screw up in the hundreds of times she opened her mouth as the peace movement’s whore du jour.
But I’m willing to give her a hand. I’m just that kind of guy: if Cindy wants to leave, I’ll contribute to a one-way ticket outside of the US, and she can even choose her destination from the following cities, all of which understand freedom of expression far better than St. Cindy’s America:
Havana
Caracas
Anakara
Khan Younis
Damascus
And, let’s not forget,
Tehran.
St. Cindy, Mother of all who Grieve, I will contribute to your relocation to any one of those cities. The only thing I ask in return is that you continue protesting in those cities just as you did when you were the darling of the likes of Code Pink.
And today, I will honor your son Casey’s sacrifice, even though you, his own mother, does not deserve a son as noble as was he.
Wanderlust on May 29, 2007 at 6:02 AM
This is Tuesday…Gloves are off….
Pocomo writes: “I believe, in the end, Sheehan realized that she made a mistake by getting into the movement, because when all was said and done, they neither respected her or her son.”
P, Sheehan was IN the “antiwar movement” before her son reinlisted. Not only was she against the war back then, she believed that the Jews made Bush go to war against Iraq.
She was an opportunist, or at least a “useful idiot” to the cause, and when the notification that her son was KIA, deliberately decided to use the opportunity to use her newly annointed “absolute moral authority” credentials to further both the movement and her own political fortunes.
It was willfull and planned with malice aforethought.
She is a FRAUD and a charlatan, who is using her son’s dead corpse as a martyr for her personal ambitions. Are you aware that Sheehan hasn’t even used the DOD money to buy her son a headstone? What kind of mom is this?
georgej on May 29, 2007 at 6:43 AM
Thank God we will not have to suffer through any further rants from this irrelevant, stupid boob who thinks she is the ONLY one to ever loose a child to war. Our troops, including her son, deserve better.
lynnv on May 29, 2007 at 7:47 AM
Thank the Heavenly Father we won’t have to see her ugly mug in that photo ALLAH always insists on using on her posts.
Geez…its enough to make a you throw up a little in your mouth every time he slaps it up there….
seejanemom on May 29, 2007 at 7:55 AM
The Left used her just like she used her son’s death. As a tool to push an agenda that had nothing to do with her son. Do I feel sorry for her? Not one damn bit. It was never about her son but all about her and her political agenda. She was a despicable human being who exploited her son’s death for own celebrity.
I do feel for Casey’s father (who denounced Cindy and her exploitation) and for Casey’s remaining family. They suffered a loss while Cindy seemed viewed her son’s death as an “opportunity”. She is a waste of skin and beneath contempt.
Faith1 on May 29, 2007 at 8:15 AM
One question. When’s the comeback tour?
bloggless on May 29, 2007 at 8:55 AM
I do not for one second condone what Sheehan did. But, whether you like it or not, under our system of government, she had every right to do so.
It is my belief that in her naiveté she thought the so-called ‘peace movement’ could help her. She later found out that they put her in an untenable situation where she has lost control as they dragged her from pillar to post.
And, as she stated in her letters, the movement was not interested in peace or in human life, which is the hallmark of anarchism (my words).
Anarchists have always been the operators of the so called ‘peace movement’ whose primary purpose is not peace, but the total destruction of America – pure and simple.
I suggest, therefore, that we stop wasting pixels on Sheehan and start concentrating on the real menace – the ‘peace movement’.
pocomoco on May 29, 2007 at 9:36 AM
Never said she didn’t have the right, under our system of government, to act like an self-serving despicable ass.
I reserve the right, under our system of government, to treat her like one.
Faith1 on May 29, 2007 at 9:40 AM
Folks like Cindy aren’t “anti-war” so much as they are “anti-America”.
Fred on May 29, 2007 at 9:52 AM
More solid gold stupidity from cindy-al sheehan….
Yeah, only cindy-al sheehan with her AMA cares about this country. This is more passive-agressive horse-$hit designed to guilt and manipulate others while convincing herself that she is the best-est of all. This is a typical sentiment of the loony left. People with character flaws are drawn to “causes” that are irrational.
In other words, cindy-al sheehan needs cash. And, consequently the fools who follow her lead are guilted into sending cash to cover the medical costs she has incurred fighting this cause for them. I am going to send her a check for one penny. I wonder if she’ll cash it?
Pocomo, this is as close as cindy-al sheehan gets to making a rational comment, but even at that she is mostly in error. A lot of people put more into AI than they do this country, but crazies like cindy-al sheehan are the reason people are apathetic. WE all know the government has to be checked and balanced, but when the charges leveled against the government are insane, people, rather than sort it out, just turn on Idol and veg out. And it is the democrats that are playing politics with our troops lives.
“the journey that I was forced into when Casey died”
I called cindy-al sheehan and demanded that she give me $100. She refused. I wonder why it is that she can be forced on a journey but can’t be forced to give me money?
FINALLY you get it you dummy! Short of torture, you can’t make anyone do anything. And if they choose to do it, you aren’t making them!! They CHOOSE it. Just like you CHOOSE to be on this journey and refuse to CHOOSE to give me money. Liberals, besides being irrational and suffering from character flaws, are on power trips.
It always was you arrogant power hungry traitor!
csdeven on May 29, 2007 at 10:05 AM
St Cindy of the Ditch…I love that…used and abused by the libs and they kicked you to the curb…love that more…
Good riddence…peace whore…

The “peace movement” is borne out of the mistaken belief that this world is capable of functioning without war. Just like the fairy tales of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White have created unrealistic expectations and the resulting irrational behavior in females (and sissymarys), the peace movement has spawned the same behavior from people with character flaws that follow it.
It would be nice if we could get past complaining about the peace-nic crazies and start framing this discussion in the light of wars inevitibility while there are still evil forces on the earth.
Crazy people believe we can stop the war by not fighting it.
Rational people realize that we will be at war as long as someone is attacking us.
The debate should be framed from the perspective that we want to end this war in the only way that it can end. And that is with a US win. There is no other opition and any debate that does not begin with that premise, must be ridiculed as crazy talk because that is what it is. PERIOD.

(knock, knock, hello, cdseven, is anybody home?)
THE ‘PEACE MOVEMENT’ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PEACE AND NEVER HAS BEEN!

The defense buget has passed. Rosie has fled the battle after being unable to define what a terrorist is. And now this? Have we finally reached the tipping point against the only people that can truly defeat us?

Hm. I am wondering if this was precipitated by a conversation with a family member? Makes me think.
We’ll see what happens now, of course, but still…sad all around, and it didn’t need to be that way. She could have used her son’s death to catapault her into honorable pursuits, but she didn’t.
Sad.

How can you say that, Cindy?
Didn’t you get all of those trips, paid on-campus speaking events, press coverage, and more? Let’s not forget the land you purchased in Crawford. You’ve met many celebrities — including at least 2 heads of state that I’m aware of.
It would seem you’ve done pretty well for yourself, wouldn’t you agree?

Ok, buh-bye.

Her son died so that she could sell out his memory for her own selfish gain.
To allow her to stand on her soapbox and dishonour his sacrifice and the sacrifices of his compatriots.
And now maybe the dawning realization of her betrayal has caused her to rethink her actions.
Her actions and words have been contemptible and she should suffer dearly for them.

Now if only she could take the angry peacec*nts at CodePink with her, THEN she will have done well.
They can all go to visit their buddy Hugo Chavez, and stay there.

There is surely an element involved that believes that, but the majority of people involved want only peace. And if peace isn’t an element of it, why do they only march during time of war and then fade away when the war is over?

I am talking about the cadre of the so-called ‘peace movement’ not the ‘useful idiots’ they attract to further their movement.
Let’s see who these people really are:
They were responsible for the Viet Nam riots in the 60s’.
They were responsible for the killings at Kent State.
They were responsible for spitting on the troops as they came home from Viet Nam.
They are not ones singing ‘cumbiyah’ and playing John Lennon’s Imagine. They leave that to the ‘useful idiots’ like Cindy Sheehan.
These are very dangerous people. We see them in France, Britain, and Tokyo. They keep score by the number of houses and cars they burn, and the size of the police riot squads that oppose them.
Anarchy is the name of their game.

Here’s an idea. Why don’t we put the ol’ call out on blogs to collect some fundage to buy Camp Casey? Then we turn the thing into a REAL War on Terror memorial, dedicated to heroism, not useful idiocy.
And we’ll put a statue of Dick Cheney right no top of Cindy’s rotting snootch.

No one can discount Cindy Sheehan’s pain. I will not for a moment pretend to understand her pain. Grief does crazy things to people.
However, she has a family who needs her. It is selfish of her to not understand how much they suffer too and how much they need her.
Cindy, please, go home, be with your surviving children, who lost their brave and courageous brother too. Most importantly, please NEVER let the propaganda convince you that brave Casey died for nothing. We all, no matter whether we agree with your opinions on the war, support you and your family, and most of all, Casey, who died to protect us and keep us safe.
Thank you CASEY!
