Just goes to show you, nothing good ever comes out of Vermont. Ice cream with a Marxist flavor.

Ben and Jerry's is the worst ice cream I have ever tried. I can't believe anyone would buy such garbage.

Don't worry. This is America. There's lots of ice creams to go around. :) Try Ronnybrook if you can find it.

Sweetly yours,

If you have never had Bruam's ice cream you have not lived!!!

With children in the military, I feel that this woman is going to get a lot of our kids killed. This maybe her objective. If my child had to die, so does yours. How sad. I wish that I could confront her in person.

It's clear her son is the last thing on her mind these days.

Can you imagine in 1951 with Sheehan standing outside Harry Truman's vacation home? He would have come out to "meet" her for sure. He would come out and slap the bitch in the face, and have some memorable salty words for her as well.

Calling her an "American traitor" in big, red letters is not a good idea, no matter how inflammatory and foolish her statements.

A lot of these ideas are being fed to her, for one thing, and probably don't reflect her real convictions before she lost her son. She's the victim of what Left-wing political psychomanipulators like to call, vomitably, a "teachable moment" seized and used by old peacenik/Mobe apparatchiki. What is being done with this woman is absolutely vile, and so I think it's a moral and judgmental mistake to target her. The users and opportunists feeding on her are the real targets.

A lot of Texas Conservatives, by the way, seem to think that going up to Crawford and counterdemonstrating may be a mistake -- helping feed what the MediaRats and MobeRats/MoveOnRats are trying to do, which is to create a media circus in front of Dubya's front gate, highlighting among other things his ill-advised five-week vacation at the ranch, which even Michael Savage has taken exception to as being poor form during a war.

"Ben & Jerry's was sold to a corporation. It is no longer owned by Ben and Jerry."

Yes, Ben & Jerry closet capitalists. Fraud$ They're no DUmmies. They built up a business then sold it off before they had to do any hard work and maintenance.

That's it. No more Ben and Jerry's for me. I'll just have to do with the memories of Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Cherry Garcia...
