What is Camp Casey?
For one week
my sole source of news has been the BBC
and there has been no mention of 'Camp Casey'.
(Presumably I should be thankful for that)
Camp Casey has become the name of Cindy Sheehan's camp of hopeless, ignorant, unemployed, down in the mouth and aged hippies who are protesting the WOT in Crawford. Her late son's name was Casey and he died in Mosul in an ambush.
She's now trying to say he lost his life for a stupid cause, yet he was the age of majority and had just re-enlisted for a second tour of duty in Iraq.
So the pinko flower children who are down there (standing in a ditch) protesting and probably enjoying some fine dope while they sing old '60's folk songs about the "evil war" and that Super Evil George Bush.
You know.... same song, 5,000th verse.
We're going in to shake up the landscape a little. Imagine nice people who have jobs and families and (horror) go to church, rolling into Crawford to celebrate our freedoms - won on battlefields by mighty warriors - just like Casey Sheehan. To us he's a hero. To her he was just another ignorant child who was dupped by that evil Bush and rich oil cartels.
Ben Stein (Steyn?) made a marvelous observation: "Why is it the left thinks it's fine for a 14 yr old to get an abortion without the parents' consent, but they're trying to convince everyone that their 22 yr olds are too stupid to fight a war without their permission??"
Liberals.........go figure.
