I apparently am the sacrificial lamb of the peace movement. I don't care about myself. Putting myself in the forefront and daring to challenge the president on his lies left myself open to the attacks. Which are, of course, half truths and distortions.
CindySheehan's diary :: ::
When they start sliming my home life and my family, that's where I draw the line. Yes, my husband has filed for divorce and yes he filed before I left for the VFP Convention and this trip to Crawford and yes IT IS BETWEEN MY HUSBAND AND I.
Having Casey murdered in Iraq by George Bush's reckless policies has been hard enough on my family, but me setting off on my holy war to bring the troops home, my constant absences, and all of the media attention has put additional stresses on my family.
I chose my path after Casey died. The rest of the family has chosen theirs. We all still love each other and support each other in anything that we do. We didn't want Casey to join the Army, but once he made that decision, we supported him and even encouraged him through boot camp.
We are a normal American family who have had good times, bad times, and terrible times. We hope the good times will come back. We hope that we will be able to laugh with abandon together like we used to one day. We hope that the troops come home and no other families have to go through what we are going through.
It isn't about politics for us. No one asked Casey what political affiliation he was before they sent him off to die in Iraq and no one asked us who we voted for in 2000 before we were handed a folded flag from Casey's flag-draped coffin.
I am not perfect and I never even claimed to be perfect. My family isn't perfect, but we are pretty special...especially the children. We all miss Casey so much and it is George Bush and his neocon cabal who is at fault. The people who are dragging my family through the mud need to grow up and look at themselves. The Christ said: "He who is without sin, cast the first stone."
If everyone followed Jesus's advice, the world would be a much better place.
I think you are right, and it is so very, very, sad but I don't care what her motives are. She is aiding and abetting the enemy my son volunteered to fight.
oops. the enemy my son volunteered his life to fight.
oops again. the enemy her son and mine volunteered their lives to fight.
Would you turn and walk away from a terrorist?
No sarcasm here, honest question.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Say that again!
Having Casey murdered in Iraq by George Bush's reckless policies has been hard enough on my family, but me setting off on my holy war to bring the troops home,
"Holy war?"
"IT IS BETWEEN MY HUSBAND AND I."
She can't speak grammatical English, either. A dumb rubrocervician.
Exactly. Once she started being a cheerleader for the terrorists that try to kill my husband when he's in Iraq, she lost every bit of empathy I could have had for her. Now I just feel bad for her brave son, because he deserved better.
Wow.
Powerful.
Great links....good into on the lefties who are financing Sheehan!
Thanks for posting!
A friend I know, English teacher, calls it 'elegant English.' Because of course they are trying to sound erudite. hahaha. I hate 'a-v-a-c-a-d-o' too, in the produce department, and wish I had a felt pen with me. ha.
While Casey's Mother's Blarney & Wailing Circus is the obsession of the MSM, the formerly sacrosanct 9/11 Commission is skating on the question of how tracking of Mohamed Atta and others escaped the mix.
"Useful idiot" is dead on for how the Left views Sheehan. She will be tossed aside as soon as her usefulness is exhausted, a lesser example of the mentality that sustained the Gulag for seventy years.
I've invited her for dinner tonight, wanna come ?
: )
Apparently he never discussed it with them BEFORE he enlisted, so her opinion didn't matter to him one bit.
I think she's IN menopause. 48??
And the liberal MSM are very happy to have Sheehan to divert attention away from the Gorelick wall which contributed to Atta's ability to continue his plans to destroy the WTC!
The 9-11 Commission has lost ALL credibility and it has become obvious that the Clinton ultra PC attitude towards people like Atta contributed to the terrorism that killed 3000 Americans on 9-11.
The bloggers & pajama gang here who will have tell America because the MSM are cheerleaders for Cindy!
Those are some lovely quotes - are we still hanging people for Treason these days?
If so - bye bye, Cindy!
Nice touch how she came off as all buddy-buddy with Jesus at the end.
The left doesn't care to hear what "Jane Roe" has to say today now that she is pro-life.
