While millions of the world's Christian's spent Good Friday reaffirming their belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ by somberly observing the Stations of the Cross rite commemorating his crucifixion as an act of faith, anti-American activist Cindy Sheehan, who renounced her Catholic faith and belief in Christ in the wake of the combat death in Iraq two years ago this month of her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, paraded through Crawford, Texas yesterday carrying a large wooden cross on her shoulder as part of an anti-Iraq war protest targeting President Bush in his home town.
Sheehan, who has earned a reputation as a media hound without grace or dignity, sunk to a new low yesterday as an apostate trying to pimp the crucifixion of Jesus in the furtherance of her political ambitions.
As reported less than one month ago in the mainstream press, Sheehan abandoned her faith in Jesus for some universalist clap trap:
Sheehan has been severed from much of her old life -- or she has severed it herself. Her marriage, her job, her home. Loss of most of her friends, whom she cannot forgive for voting to re-elect Bush. Loss of her Catholic faith (a former youth pastor, she has abandoned Christianity and envisions a universal spiritual creator.)
Sheehan and her Marxist handlers realize, however, that most Americans profess Christian faith. Therefore they prey on that majority sentiment by using Christian imagery by erecting rows of crosses denoting soldiers killed in the Iraq war and by having Cindy mock Jesus' crucifixion while wearing an Impeach Bush t-shirt.
God should have thought of that before he created Cindy Sheehan. :-)
(I hope God has a sense of humor)
Neither are my daughter and son...it is my son-in-law who is nuts.
This woman has no shame. It's incredible the stuff she does for free publicity.
It's a veritable Haloperidol meltdown.
I see what you're building lady. She's a'gonna call the Mother Ship to Crawford!
Wasn't Barbara Streisand in a movie called "Nuts"?
Was it a n autobiography?
I believe that churchillbuff is unable to answer at this time...check the name.
When my husband (a VietNam vet) died, we didn't have a lot of money. The Army provided a very nice marker, which I believe they do for anyone who asks. What's Cindy's problem?
Anyone remember Durwood Kirby from the Gary Moore show? C.S.looks alot like him.
Now do you understand?
No she is not. Membership in the REAL Gold Star Mothers does not allow partisan politics. Cindy had a front group set up for her and it it blatantly un-American in it's goals.
How many of your children have died in Iraq?
How many of your children were killed by a car bomb exploded next to their school bus?
None and you can thank George Bush and the military under his command for that.
The fact that she disagrees with you on a matter of public policy -- and that she's exercising her First Amendment freedom to speak -- doesn't make her a "disease."
Freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism. And if kristinn considers her antics harmful, "disease" isn't out of line to describe her
It used to be that only in totalitarian countries was dissent from the government branded a "disease."
I'll defer to your expertise in totalitarianism Comrade.
"Just when you think bottom has been reached, she keeps digging. Barf"
Looks like she is auditioning for a part in the Fred Phelps cult.
She has lowered herself into the deep abyss of whale dung.
Think WARD Churchill. He likes fake Indians.
Sheehan disgusts me....that's all I have to say about her..
In a more civilized society, Shehan would be locked up
ala Tokyo Rose.
She is so lucky she does not come to my town. Sorry, this may not be free republic style, but if she mocked my religon in my town, I would have smacked her right in the chops. She and her kind can move to cuba with Fidel.
a rosary is a sacramental, especially if blessed, and should be properly venerated, not worn as jewelry. Even sacred medals, crosses and crucifixes are to be worn as a personal devotion, not in a flashy or disrespectful way.
