The Cindy Sheehan Blog
(click on the title to go to the blog)
A severe case of the vapors has stricken Cindy Sheehan and her host of court jesters over at the Crawford Ranch. Go to it and read some of the comments posted by the fevered.
In this photo, she takes her marching orders from Michael Moore or Ed Asner, I can't tell which....Either that or the voices in her head are stuck on a rewind/replay of 'all we are sayyyyyying, is givvvve peace a channnnnts'
Looks like Cindy's husband has jumped the rails and filed for divorce from this addled woman. Good for him.
It is so unfortunate that we have to continually state the obvious. One would hope that 7 years of World war II had taught us the value of sacrifice, and yes, the value of loss.
Here is a brief passage from Bruce Thornton's article over at VDH (see The Truth Mine on the right of this blog for the link)...
As much as we respect and sympathize with Ms. Sheehan's grief, then, we are under no obligation to respect her opinion about the necessity or justice of this war, or give it any more of a hearing than anybody else's. In fact, we should suspect that it reflects her understandable grief rather than any superior insight into the reasons for going to war. Those reasons should be debated and discussed through the political process, and they should reflect as much as possible fact and rational argument. Presenting those facts and arguments is the job of a responsible media. Unfortunately, exploiting suffering and indulging their political prejudices are often more important to the media than providing their fellow citizens with the resources needed to make the best decision.
