Don't forget that Soros is a convicted criminal.

MAN! The USA will be SO MUCH BETTER OFF when all of these hippie/yuppie scum leftover from the 60's take their dirt nap. They've stood for nothing and have accomplished nothing, other than stand in the way of progress.

They will NOT be missed.

"I personally oppose all war."

And that personifies the liberal mindset - taking an absolute position which filters out facts and reason. These people aren't serious about examining or solving anything in life - instead, they gain satisfaction in maintaining what they perceive to be a morally-superior stance - the consequences to anyone else be damned.

This nitwit fought the Trident program in the name of opposing all war. But Reagan's military build-up led to the fall of the Soviet Union and the liberation of millions of people from totalitarianism. If this idiot had his way, those people would still be enslaved and he wouldn't give a sh**. Which tells you all you need to know about him.

"It was the Taliban and Osama bin Laden," said one woman. "So why didn't we just go after him? Why did we attack the whole country?"

Um, the Taliban was Afghanistan's government -- from a geopolitical sense, it was the country.

What is so sad about this Cindy Sheehan matter is, the left in this country are helping destroy her instead of helping her.

They are using her to promote their left wing agenda. What she really needs is psychiatric help.

I don't agree with her position, but I do understand that she is hurting and feel when this is all over, she will go off the deep end.

The left wing in this country needs a reality check big time.

http://soldiersagainstcindysheehan.blogspot.com/

There has been much in the news lately on Cindy Sheehan, the mother of Spc. Casey Sheehan who was killed in action. According to a website affiliated with her, her organization is related to Code Pink who has raised money for terrorists and apparently is involved in attacks on military recruitment centers in the US.

No one knows better than we do the cost on families that military services brings. We all have families who, for many of us, wait at home in fear while we are deployed. We know first-hand the trauma it causes to families and loved ones when one of us is killed in action. Spc. Sheehan was our brother and he will be missed. He voluntarily went to Iraq to help keep his fellow soldiers safe. He served with distinction and honor in the highest traditions of military service.

That being said, what Cindy Sheehan is now doing has descended beyond disgraceful. We can understand a grieving mother lashing out at the President. We all have had our doubts. What we cannot understand is a mother standing on the flagged-drapped coffin of her son and using his grave as a pulpit to, among other things, support organizations that fund the other side in this fight. We cannot understand violence and vandalism against the offices of the very soldiers that Spc. Sheehan went to Iraq to help protect. We cannot understand why you use this to denounce Israel. We are flabbergasted that you dishonor his service by suggesting his death allows you to speak for us. You do not speak for us. Much to the contrary, apparently.

Some of us are in Iraq and wondering what country the media is covering. Yes, there are casualties. Yes, there are setbacks. However, there are a great deal many more successes uncovered by the media. There are plenty of soldiers who have a variety of complaints about the way the war is prosecuted, whether we should be here, and the quality of food. Yet, for a majority, we understand that we are fighting what have become mostly foreign forces seeking to prevent a people from ruling themselves. It’s hard enough on those of us who are deployed without the likes of the fringe anti-war movement making the job that much harder.

Mrs. Sheehan, we’re sorry for your son, we really are. But please be quiet and stop undermining our efforts here. Your support for organizations that give money to the very people who killed your son is outrageous. And please stop using the grave of an honorable soldier as a soapbox.

"I believe that both of those wars [Afghanistan and Iraq], but Iraq especially, are wrong."

Yeah!! The war in Afghanistan is just sort of wrong! But man that one in Iraq....that ones just really wrong!

B!tch, go back to your home and stick your head up your ass, as you obviously have no idea what is going on in the world around you! Get a clue you stupid f@#k!

Sheehan in chat room. Try about 30% down the page.

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/bullyard/msg/fe750ffd0a87d91f?dmode=source&hl=en

Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was
killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son
joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know
full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were
betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda
after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the
terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy...not for the real reason,
becuase the Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign
policy. That hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq...in
fact it has gotten worse.




"Filthy Neocons" does appear to mean "Filthy Jews", doesn't it? Cindy Sheehan sounds like Al Jazeera -

Of course, this is their English language service. All cleaned up for Western consumption.

Jim Douglas like the rest of the Viet Nam "antiwar" protesters and the ones today have only one problem, a HUGE YELLOW STREAK running down their back side. PERIOD!

Semper Fi,

Cindy Sheehan is a PR gimmick for leftist groups. Simple as that. Since she won't go away, maybe we should discuss more serious matters.
