...just for the LOVE of it..!!!!

Never forget.
Lies and the the left go hand in hand.
I think it is predictable that the left is using her this way. Whats despicable is her willing participation
Since the highest military decoration I own is an Army Good Conduct Medal, I'm hardly in a position to rate anybody else's. But has anyone else noted the citation for Casey Sheehan's Bronze Star, and then compared it to John F'n Kerry's? A disconnect? It seems to me that Casey's actions were a lot more deserving of recognition than what I remember of JF'nK's.
....If others could understand your truth, you would not think of yourself as a "vanguard." You would no longer inhabit the morally charmed world of an elite, whose members alone can see the light and whose mission is to lead the unenlightened towards it. If everybody could see the promised horizon and knew the path to reach it, the future would already have happened and there would be no need for the vanguard of the saints.
...Their cynicism flows from the very perception they have of right and wrong. They do it for higher ends. They do it for the progressive faith. They do it because they see themselves as having the power to redeem the world from evil. It is that terrifyingly exalted ambition that fuels their spiritual arrogance and justifies their sordid and, if necessary, criminal means.
And that is why they hate conservatives. They hate you because you are killers of their dream. Because you are defenders of a Constitution that thwarts their cause. They hate you because your "reactionary" commitment to individual rights, to a single standard and to a neutral and limited state obstructs their progressive designs. They hate you because you are believers in property and its rights as the cornerstones of prosperity and human freedom; because you do not see the market economy as a mere instrument for acquiring personal wealth and political war chests, to be overcome in the end by bureaucratic schemes.
Conservatives who think progressives are misinformed idealists will forever be blind-sided by the malice of the left-by the cynicism of those who pride themselves on principle, by the viciousness of those who champion sensitivity, by the intolerance of those who call themselves liberal, and by the ruthless disregard for the well-being of the downtrodden by those who preen themselves as social saints.
Conservatives are caught by surprise because they see progressives as merely misguided, when in fact they are fundamentally misdirected. They are the messianists of a religious faith. But it is a false faith and a self-serving religion. Since the redeemed future that justifies their existence and rationalizes their hypocrisy can never be realized, what really motivates progressives is a modern idolatry: their limitless passion for the continuance of Them.***
Exactly why it's impossible to support anything this woman does. Her son's death is a media event all about her. Her face is more familiar to Americans than her son's. A disgusting narcissistic display.
This is why I show up at Walter Reed on Fridays.
The Left is cobbling together all the fringe groups they can to be a presence and swell their numbers.
***....from Sept. 24 to 26, antiwar groups are organizing three days of events here in Washington, starting with a march and rally and culminating in what their website calls "mass nonviolent direction action and civil disobedience." Immediate withdrawal from Iraq is just one part of the agenda, which includes a call for "global justice" and protection of immigrants' rights and basic civil rights. ...***

Bump!!
Bless you and all your posts.
"She offered to run him over with a car."
OMG!! This is the first time I heard this!! Yea, 'slamo-Cindy loved her son, all right -- she is no better than the homicide bombers she loves!
Thank you Casey Sheehan for your service. We will not allow your mother to tarnish your image.
I think we've all adopted Casey and revere his sacrifice.
SINdy probably has as big a problem with Casey serving GOD as she did with him serving Uncle Sam. From listening to her speeches the past few years it is obvious she is Anti-Christian/Jew and pro Islam.
***...."We've had slogans like, 'No Blood for Oil,' and 'Bring the Troops Home Now,' but this is a real flesh-and-blood story," said Jodie Evans, a co-founder of Code Pink: Women for Peace, which has led many of the anti-war movement's guerrilla tactics and organized meetings of Iraqi and American citizens. "What works is that it is focused. It is one person's loss versus another person who caused that loss.
"Geez, she's a mom who's lost a child," said Evans, who teared up at Camp Casey this week as she recalled her own 2-year-old daughter dying 20 years ago. "Who can argue with that?"
......Glenn Smith, a veteran Texas political consultant who is organizing a counter-event to the evangelical-sponsored Justice Sunday II gathering in Nashville, said it's rare that a voice like Sheehan's emerges. "Probably the best thing the movement can do is get out of her way," said Smith, whose Nashville gathering of liberal faith leaders is called Freedom and Faith. "She doesn't need managing."
Smith has worked with Sheehan, a former Catholic youth minister, at other events involving left-leaning religious leaders and marvels that her voice "is so real. It didn't come out of a focus group or some kind of professional message guru. It's not a polished political message. It's more like Greek tragedy."
Whether Sheehan is the right person for the job of "the new face" is an open question. "I don't even realize it yet," she told The Chronicle this week. "I haven't been able to see any news or be on my computer or read e-mail because it's been full." ...........

I wished her family, what's left of it, would come and put tape across her mouth, tie her up, and put her in the back of the van and take her back home, and tell her to "SHUT UP!"
The way I see it is likened to "innocent due to reason of insanity" in a murder case. That is the most ridiculous plea - anyone who murders is insane in my book - does not make them "innocent" at all. In other words, Cindy is not "innocent" due to her so-called breakdown. She has and will have the blood of our soldiers and innocent Iraqi civilians on her hands due to the encouragement given the terrorists by her and our media.
I haven't found any history about Cindy yet, but I found this which was very interesting
