U.S. Military: The few, the proud, the stupid

Cindy Sheehan has returned to Yasgur's Farm south, formerly Crawford, Texas, to continue the peace vigil and folk festival near Bush's ranch. Soon she, her supporters, and other media moths attracted by the TV lights will embark on a bus caravan to Washington, D.C., to continue to tell the world exactly how dumb U.S. soldiers are. That's right: Dumb. Brain dead. Morons. Dopes.

The reason why they believe that the U.S. soldier is an empty-headed dupe isn't tough to figure out. Take Casey Sheehan for example. He joined the military on his own accord, willingly re-enlisted during this conflict, and fought and died for something he obviously believed in. Casey's mother has said he died "for nothing," and, therefore, the rest of them are dying for nothing, too.

To use the deaths of U.S. soldiers who joined willingly as an anti-war statement is to discredit their beliefs and judgment, not to mention their intellect.

Still don't think the pro-peace crowd thinks the U.S. soldier is stupid? How about the protests by the group called Code Pink, so named because of all the Pepto Bismol you have to drink to keep them from turning your stomach. Code Pink members have been hanging around the Walter Reed Army Hospital, which houses many wounded soldiers, and waiving signs such as "Maimed for Lies" and "Enlist here and die for Halliburton." This sounds like a bunch of people who obviously respect the soldiers, doesn't it? You'd be hard pressed to find another group of people who are more abusive than those who seek peace for a living.

Adding fuel to the left's "they're so stupid" fire is the fact that, not only were these soldiers "maimed for lies" and "enlisted and died for Halliburton," but they're also overwhelmingly pro-Bush. To the left, the U.S. soldier has discovered an entirely new level of dim-wittedness, and one deserving of the mockery taking place at the Walter Reed Army Hospital. To be led into an unjust war by a moron is one thing, but for those same people to vote for that moron in droves makes the military reprehensibly imbecilic in leftist eyes.

One would have to assume that taking under advisement the opinions of those who are actually placed in harm's way would take priority over the rest of us, since they have the most on the line. The anti-war left can't win in this category, so there's nothing they can do but to point out that these brave men and women simply don't know any better. This is why we've heard the word "children" thrown around so much lately. They aren't soldiers – they're kids who have been ordered to play on dangerous monkey bars by a sadistic school principal.

In the meantime, Yasgur's Farm south is attracting more weasels than an open-air chicken coop. Last week, the Reverend Al Sharpton announced that the anti-war protest in Crawford, Texas, has finally gained the focus of enough TV cameras to satisfy the media coverage rider in Sharpton's contract. Sharpton arrived in Crawford this past weekend, on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech, to deliver his own words, which may go down in history as the "Vermin on the Mount."

In addition, groups such as MoveOn.org and True Majority are helping finance the base camp at Yasgur's Farm south, where the effort to point out that U.S. soldiers are the dumbest animals since prehistoric turkeys continues. True Majority is a group set up by Ben Cohen, of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, the company that displays a pretty exterior of socialist idealism, all supported by the camouflaged joist of fierce right-wing capitalism. Shhh ... don't tell.

There's an unprecedented insult directed at the U.S. military occurring here. The most disturbing part is that it was all kicked off by the mother of a soldier, who is now being puppeted by people who have her convinced that her son and everybody like him were too stupid to know that they were taking part in an illegal and immoral occupation.

Sheehan's bus caravan will be on the road around the same time Jane Fonda's bio-diesel '60's time machine hits the anti-war trail. Fonda has a proven history of supporting the troops – provided they're on the other side.

In the coming months, we can only hope that all the people who actually support the troops, not to mention respect their intelligence and beliefs, can make more noise than those protesters to whom the only "just war" would be one that confronted a direct and immediate threat to their freedom to be ignorant.

immediate threat to their freedom to be ignorant.

Wonder if we can get the banSheehan to lead her bus tour to the mid East to show solidarity with the "oppressed" peoples? (Visons of her bus meeting an IED dancing in my head)

Eagles up challenge.

CRAWFORD TX-
President Bush's supporters poured into Crawford by the thousands Saturday,
for the first time outnumbering war protesters led by Cindy Sheehan,
who began a vigil here three weeks ago,
demanding a personal meeting with the vacationing president
to talk about her son's death in Iraq.

Lame Stream Media : News Flash!

President Bush already met with Cindy Sheehan in June 2004 for 10 minutes.

From The Reporter, Vacaville, CA archive: Bush, Sheehans share moments.


Quit lying!!!!






Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane
aren't behind the anti war crowd
needs to get a clue.

[meandog]

Casey will have only have died for nothing if his mother gets her way.

[jigsaw]

I'm beginning to seriously wonder if Cindy Sheehan has a mental illness.   And I'm not saying that flippantly.

Come aboard, Cindy!

Come aboard, Cindy!

[pcottraux]

Oh, but she "supports the troops" by wanting to "bring them home," right?

What a faker.

I don't "wonder" if Cindy Sheehan has a mental illness, I'm convinced she does. And I'm not saying that flippantly either. However, she is not alone. She has surrounded herself with people who are afflicted with the same mental illness. I believe this mental illness becomes incurable when one is surrounded by others who are afflicted with this mental disease. It seems to feed off of other fellow patients.

"..the pro-peace crowd.."
Not patriotic;
Not just fellow citizens that sincerely disagree.
These people are quislings. Nothing less.

It's well documented, known as liberalism.

[vaudine]

No doubt! My husband volunteered for US Marines in 1945 and made military his career. His younger brother was drafted during Korea and they were both there in 1952 when his brother was killed. It just about unhinged his mother. She lived to be quite old and literally never got over her bitterness that she lost a son. She tried to get my husband to get out; told me I didn't love him because I didn't cry and carry on when he was ordered overseas
during Vietnam--it was a bitch. She made my husband and his two sisters feel irrelevant--her dead son was her only child.

She's a puppet for the left. I like to see a string puppet with one hand holding her grieving face pulling mask over the puppet face that shows her laughing face (one with the gay marine) or one of those Dog Chew doll . We can hand out at her bus tour stops . I bet she'll crack when she's alone driving and all the media stops following her.

Cindy, Cindy it is time for your next glass.

Really? Are you series? They have a word for that disease? I didn't know that. ;) LOL

I belive the line from "Heartbreak Ridge" that you are talking about was said like this "The few, the proud, the chumps"
