Independence Day
I saw a field of bright white crosses
All in neat little rows
Far into the sunny distance
All the little rows go

Tap, Tap the drum proudly
For the freedom you have won
Tap, Tap the drum
For the peace that you have brung

I see a banner folded tightly
Handed to the grieving rightly
Salute the fallen
With twenty one mightily

Tap, Tap the arms loudly
Red for the enemy’s skin
Tap, Tap the gun
Telling all we shall stand for the flag again

So is anyone taking bets on long "Mother" Sheehan will actually go without food? Does anyone really believe that she is willing to starve to death for her "cause?" Does anyone really believe her cause is opposing the war and not self-promotion?

My guess is she will go a week, give or take a day or two, then she'll discover that the world can't do without her so, in the interests of world peace and harmony, she will quit her fast.

I hope they wrote for their loved ones and next of kin their wills, because we are not cowing down to the enemy, no matter what!!!! The fight against our present enemies will continue until there's none of them left to fight against, period!!!!

This is so asinine.

When I read about this story, this scripture keeps coming to mind:

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

-Matthew 6:1-2

Dearborn said 2,700 other activists nationwide, including actors Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, would work as a relay team passing the fast daily from one to another.

What a cheat!

Memo to the government: Do NOT give Code Pink what they want.

Memo to Code Pink: stay on your hunger strike until the government gives you everything you want.

[Hillsdale Guy]

It will take a couple of months before anyone notices.
