An Open Letter to George W. Bush from Cindy Sheehan
realclearpolitics.com ^ | November 4, 2004

Posted on 08/12/2005 4:03:22 AM PDT by F14 Pilot

Dear George,

You don’t mind if I call you George do you? When you sent me a letter offering your condolences on the death of my son, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq, you called me Cindy, so I naturally assume we are on a first name basis.

George, it has been seven months today since your reckless and wanton foreign policies killed my son, my big boy, my hero, my best-friend: Casey. It has been seven months since your ignorant and arrogant lack of planning for the peace murdered my oldest child. It has been two days since your dishonest campaign stole another election…but you all were way more subtle this time than in 2000, weren’t you? You hardly had to get the Supreme Court of the United States involved at all this week.

You feel so proud of yourself for betraying the country again, don’t you? You think you are very clever because you pulled the wool over the eyes of some of the people again. You think that you have some mandate from God…that you can “spend your political capital” any way that you want. George you don’t care or even realize that 56,000,000 plus citizens of this country voted against you and your agenda. Still, you are going to continue your ruthless work of being a divider and not a uniter. George, in 2000 when you stole that election and the Democrats gave up, I gave up too. I had the most ironic thought of my life then: "Oh well, how much damage can he do in four years?" Well, now I know how much you have damaged my family, this country, and this world. If you think I am going to allow you another four years to do even more damage, then you truly are mistaken. I will fight for a true vote count and if that fails, your impeachment. Also, the impeachment of your Vice President. The only thing is, I'm not politically savvy, and I don't have a Karl Rove to plan my strategy, but I do have a big mouth and a righteous cause, which still mean something in this country, I hope.

All of this lying, fooling, and betraying must be “hard work” George. You really think you know what hard work is?

George, let me tell you what “hard work” really is.

Hard work is seeing your oldest son, your brave and honorable man-child go off to a war that had, and still has, no basis in reality. Hard work is worrying yourself gray and not being able to sleep for 2 weeks because you don’t know if your child is safe.

Hard work is seeing your son’s murder on CNN one Sunday evening while you’re enjoying the last supper you’ll ever truly enjoy again.

Hard work is having three military officers come to your house a few hours later to confirm the aforementioned murder of your son…your first born…your kind and gentle sweet baby.

Hard work is burying your child 46 days before his 25th birthday. Hard work is holding your other three children as they lower the body of their big “baba” into the ground. Hard work is not jumping in the grave with him and having the earth cover you both.

But, Dear George, do you know what the hardest work of all is? Trying to digest the fact that the leader of the country that your family has fought for and died for, for generations, lied to you and betrayed your dear boy’s sense of honor and exploited his courage and exploited his loyalty to his buddies. Hard work is having your country abandon you after they killed your son. Hard work is coming to the realization that your son had his future robbed from him and that you have had your son's future and future grand-children stolen from you. Hard work is knowing that there are so many people in this world that have prospered handsomely from your son's death.

George, I must confess that I and my family worked very HARD to re-defeat you this time, but you refuse to stay defeated. Well, we are watching you very carefully. We are going to do everything in our power to have you impeached for misleading the American people into a disastrous war and for mis-using and abusing your power as Commander-in-Chief. We are going to scream until our last breath to bring the rest of our babies home from this quagmire of a war that you have gotten our country in to: before too many more families learn the true meaning of Hard Work. We know it is going to be an uphill battle, knowing how Republican Congress is, but thanks to you, we know the meaning of Hard Work and we’re not afraid of hard work at all.

The 56,000,000 plus citizens who voted against you and your agenda have given me a mandate to move forward with my agenda. Also, thanks to you and your careless domestic policies, I am unemployed, so this will be my full-time job. Being your political downfall will be the most noble accomplishment of my life and it will bring justice for my son and 1125 (so far) other brave Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis your lies have killed. By the way, George, how many more innocent Iraqis are your policies going to kill before you convince them that you are better than Saddam? How many more of their cities are you going to level before you consider that they are liberated? If you really had any moral values, or if you were an honorable man at all you would resign. My son was a man who had high moral values and true courage. Humanity lost a bright light on April 04, 2004. I will live the rest of my life missing Casey desperately. Thank you for that, George. Have a nice day.

God Bless America!! We surely need it!

Cindy Sheehan

"If you think I am going to allow you another four years to do even more damage, then you truly are mistaken."

Sounds like a threat to me, despite her "fight for your impeachment" CYA language in the next sentence. I think the Secret Service better be keeping a close eye on her pup tent.

I will also add that publishing this woman's ravings does her no favor.

Jane Fonda is going to add her to the Veggie Bus Tour the minute she can pry her off that stump in Crawford Texas ... along with the disgruntled Vet the Washington Post is encouraging to trumpet his contempt for the President in the MSM.

When she wakes up one day and realizes that her words are being read to American prisoners before their heads are sawed off -- and that this is not the President's doing, but hers, I hope she will do the honorable thing.

Dear Lying Scumbag Cindy,

You don''t mind if I call you lying scumbag since that is what you are. What caused you to completely change your tune from July 2004 when you met with President Bush in a private meeting honoring your son's sacrifice in Iraq to the media whore you are today? I guess I am finding it hard to understand how the person that said such glowing things about President in July 2004 with the hate filled political bigot that wrote the letter above. You are a small despicable little woman who is willingly using her dead son as a political propaganda prop. Unfortunately for you and the rest of the Hysteric Left, the American people are not the dumb hayseeds you think we are. Your own hysteric, hate filled rhetoric exposes you for the fraud you are to the vast majority of Americans. We are just thankful that your son was so much a better person then his sad demented mother is turning out to be.

"I am a little leery of any mother who continues to refer to her 24-year-old son as a "baby..."

And don't forget her use of the nauseating expression "man-child" which was used once effectively in the title of the book (Manchild in the Promised Land,by I forget who) and like Gilette Razors is absolutely not to be used again, to borrow a phrase from e.e. cummings.

I wonder how her other three children feel about being virtually abandoned by their mother while she's off on her vendetta vacation to "avenge" the death of her favorite first-born.

This woman is crazier than a bedbug. I hope, for the sake of GWB's safety, she is under some sort of surveillance. She could be an obsessively deranged Squeaky Fromme type in the making.

There is no depth to which the Bush haters won't go to damage him and our country. Even her family has disavowed this woman's dishonable actions. Truly a disqusting spectacle.

The Left is taking us places we never thought we'd go. Who'da thunk we'd be trying to figure out how far is too far in regards to a killed soldier's mother? At what point does grief become raving?


D@mn them.

I wonder how old the other three children are? I am surprised there is no mention of them elsewhere. If they supported her, the media would play it up. Yet they aren't mentioned in the family's letter to Drudge-- that was from (I think) godmother, grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Has anyone seen any statements from Casey's siblings? Or his father? I am curious about this omission.

I wonder did she plead with her son not to join the army?
Since she thinks that this President is so horrible and war is so wrong.

Of course she isn't unemployed since she's spending her days making an a&& of herself, her son's memory and promoting the agenda of various Anti-American groups.

Nope, that couldnt' be the reason at all.

That's how we handled anti-war protesters during Vietnam. That approach failed.

From CNN http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/11/mom.protest.ap/index.html

"Cindy Sheehan has become the Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement," said Rev. Lennox Yearwood, leader of the Hip Hop Caucus, an activist group. "She's tired, fed up and she's not going to take it anymore, and so now we stand with her."
Because if we didn't do this, I would have to get a real job!
?"Hip Hop Caucus"? who makes up this crap?

Actually who she is, is the Marilyn Chambers of the anti-America movement.
and this, from another stellar candidate of the accepted order of the bend-over-drop-trou crew
Trucker Craig Delaney, 53, was in Georgia on Monday when he heard numerous radio shows discussing Sheehan -- some criticizing her. He altered his route to California, heading for Texas, and got to Sheehan's site Wednesday morning. "I felt compelled to come and tell her I support her," said Delaney, a self-described hippie from Sly Park, California. (oh great, there's an unbiased individual) "The way they were bad-mouthing a mother whose son was killed in the war is un-American."

The MSM has been fanning the flame of hatred toward Pres. Bush for 5 years. I'm not surprised loons like Sheehan have surfaced. This lunatic is 3 Prozacs away from suicide-bomber mentality.
