It isn't Cindy Sheehan - she's no more significant than I am. The problem is the broadcasters who get her to stand on her son's coffin and use it for a soapbox.

That says it all. The woman used her son's coffin as her soapbox. I hope she is freaking happy.

It's a phenomenon cut from the same cloth as the 2002 Paul Wellstone memorial political rally.

You've just GOT to get a handle on the liberal mindset(or lack thereof); in its simplest terms, they are children. Or more accurately, rebellious teens. They gather in peer groups(candlelight vigils, demonstrations of every stripe) to hassle the adults whenever possible; stomping their feet, waving their arms and generally making a nuisance of themselves. As you may know, rebellious teens have got to have a good sounding board and a strong backstop.

IOW, who/what do children think about more than themselves??? Nothing. Selfishness in the guise of, you guessed it, altruism.

I'd like to expand on that and put it into some context; the role our Constitution plays for example. It should be the end of the line for the rebellious teens(modern day liberals/leftists) in our midst; hence their efforts to change the document. The rules are unfair(waving arms); a woman's right to choose(stomping feet); rights for queers(throwing dust in the air).

Somewhere in the Bible, it warns us that at some point we may/will be ruled by children. I don't recall the context, but I think I'll do some looking around to see what I can see.
