Jake, thanks for your very compassionate and gracious post. I’d love to see more conservatives show this kind of compassion. Cindy Sheehan is obviously unbalanced. I lost my son when he was 25. Even though it was not in time of war, I could have ended up like Cindy, too, if not for the grace of God.
I sincerely hope people will let this woman get her privacy and life back, now that she has the humiliation of knowing how the lefties used her. She reminds me of Norma McCorvey—after Roe v. Wade was passed, “they” didn’t need her any more either, and gave her exactly the same boot. Godly people should pray for Cindy Sheehan. Everyone else should just have enough graciousness to get off her back, now that she’s not newsworthy anymore.
Nice post - I appreciate you view - and I am sorry for your loss.
You know - many, many, posts inside a forum like FR are cold because they come through the non-personal application of a keyboard.
It’s easy to attack - or belittle when you don’t have to look at someone - or consider very very personal feelings.
FR is a great forum - but at times - some members forget human frailty and they fire off comments with little or no consideration.
I have been guilty of this myself - more than I would like to admit.
I cannot imagine the grief Cindy Sheehah must have suffered - I hope I never do.
