"If I'd found my relative's name on a cross out there without my permission someone would have been slapped hard."

A crowd of mothers (and wives) like Mrs. Bastian really need to go out and teach Axis Cindy and her moonbats some manners, but most are probably too well-mannered and classy to get in that clod's face and tell her where to step off.

Funny how the only soldiers these people have anything nice to say about are dead ones. Ms. Sheehan can say what she like about her son and how he would have felt. What the heck, right? He's not around to contradict her. So, from what I can see, when soldiers are alive, they are warmongering, blood-thirsty animals but when they're dead, they were someone's son or daughter. Isn't that special?

Santa Barbara = Santa Monica North. Santa Barbara is the snooty, elitist city that drags down the rest of the county. The two other largest cities, Lompoc and Santa Maria, are thankfully quite conservative (notwithstanding the idiot jury that acquitted Michael Jackson :-(

"There is only one Arlington in my book."

Amen and God bless the fallen.

So, Mr. Lane "owns" the deceased names and can use these however his group wishes; but respecting the requests of the families of the deceased is irrelevant.

One word to the peace groups: Disrespectful.

Why is it that these clowns can put their crosses where they wish but if a christian group did the same thing the ACLU would be there like stink on poop.

Many soldiers who visit will never be able to go to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, Mr. Anderson said. "We owe them a courtesy to give them a place to go."

Twilight Zone moral relativism ping. They want to compare their cynical little ditch display to ARLINGTON??

send this to AP and see what they do with it. Wanna Bet?

Not only the ACLU. This is the People's Republic of Santa Barbara that wanted to charge the USS Ronald Reagan $30,000 in docking fees when it visits the city this week.

THis is the same city council that spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on all kinds of celebrations: Old Fiesta Days, Summer Solstice (big parade of wackos), etc.

How many stories of Sheehan dishonoring other parents' children without permission have surfaced?

I've read about 2 thus far.

That's genius.
Can anyone prove that all the deceased were truly christian?
The ACLU should be there for those incensed by Sheehan's claim that they all "must be" christian, merely by association.
She just assumed that part.

Agreed. She'd be carrying her teeth home in a baggie.
