Cindy Sheehan does not believe those filthy ragheads and camel jockeys in Iraq deserve freedom. Nor does she believe they should be allowed to live in peace or be able to sleep at night without wondering if their genocidal dictator’s bloodthirsty henchmen are going to kick their door in and drag the entire family off to a grisly torture chamber, where the parents will be made to watch their children be repeatedly raped and sodomized and finally blinded and dismembered while still alive.
Her son adamantly disagreed with her. U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, in fact, disagreed with his mother so vehemently that he was willing to give his life so that brown-skinned Muslims he didn’t even know could be free.
Now Mrs. Sheehan claims George Bush, not terrorists, killed her son. She didn’t protest when the maniacs of 9-11 killed nearly 3,000 people. She doesn’t fault the mass murderers who continue to butcher innocent Iraqi men, women and children and who continue to kill courageous American military personnel. She didn’t fly to London to protest outside of a mosque. She is in no way shocked by the hundreds of mass graves being excavated in Iraq, graves filled with tens of thousands of bodies of Saddam’s victims. She is not troubled at all by the numerous al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq who want to kill every American man, woman and child on earth. And she could not care less that proud Iraqis, facing death, voted for the first time in throngs for the politician of their choice, defiantly holding up ink-stained fingers to show they had faced down the terrorists. To Cindy Sheehan, it would appear, Arabs, especially Muslim Arabs, should have no right to vote or even live for that matter.
Cindy Sheehan’s son volunteered for military service and knew he would probably go to war. He accepted the risks and dangers and was okay with them. He died doing his part to prevent the Muslim terrorists from killing more and more innocent civilians around the world, in places like the Philippines, Italy, Thailand, France, India, Russia, Lebanon, Netherlands, England, Israel, Spain and the United States. Mrs. Sheehan, if her actions and words are any indication, apparently thinks her son was an idiot because of his beliefs.
Incredibly, although 1,800 mothers would like a private audience with the president to talk about their son or daughter being killed in the war on terror, Mrs. Sheehan actually got such an audience last summer. Yet in her astounding arrogance, she is now demanding another audience, even though the vast majority of other moms whose sons were lost in the war have yet to be granted such a meeting.
Why does Cindy Sheehan feel her son was more important than all the rest? How dare she demand two of what the vast majority of other war mothers never receive any.
In Heaven, her son’s buddies are giving him some good-natured ribbing, asking why his mother is messing with the commander in chief. But Casey’s big heart is breaking. He is ashamed of his mother’s desperate desire to be seen and heard in the media. Whereas nearly all other mothers of American warriors maintain their dignity and respect the ultimate sacrifice made by their valiant sons, Cindy Sheehan grandstands and seeks the spotlight of notoriety her son never sought.
Specialist Casey Sheehan believed others came before him. His mother believes she comes before everyone else.
That’s the difference between a selfless patriot and a self-centered egotist.
Spot on. God rest the soul of this fine young man and a true hero.
well done gunny!
GunnyBob,she is being used by the lamestream media and I guarantee you that if something or someone else comes along in the next day or two that is extremely newsworthy,she will be dropped like a hot potatoe.
She is the "in" thing now as far as news goes but she will quickly find out she is being whored around by the media...
Please, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
Here we go again.
Bump
Excellent! Bump, Bttt
Agreed; she is being used by the left and being exploited by CNN and the other lefty old media folks. Sad on all counts.
Great post, Gunny.
Correct, It's the Joisy Gurls II
I think the best thing we can do is find out who his closest buddies were in the military and ask them what his impressions were. I would love to see a couple of them refuting everything she is saying. Let's face it. Military buddies can be closer to a Soldier, Sailor or Marine than a guy's mom.
The only problem is who's going to try to find these individuals? The MSM? No chance. It has to be someone like Rush or they have to come forward on their own. Any Freepers living where Spec. Sheehan lived and can we get any informaion on our own?
"Here we go again."
Oh yeah, head exploding again.
You know, where are the parents of drug addicts, etc. to come out and decry those deaths?
My 17-year-old daughter enlisted in the U.S. Army the day after graduating from high school. I couldn't be more proud. - Gil in CA.
God bless Casey Sheehan. Unfortunately his mother is an idiot but we won't hold that against him, he made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom, something his mother obviously doesn't deserve but because of deaths of brave soldiers past, she has that freedom, it's a shame people don't stop and think before they shoot their mouths off. God rest the soul of Casey Sheehan.
I thought the same. He volunteered. He died. Now she accuses the president of murdering him. I fully understand her grief, but the other family members grieve too.
He is one of many heroes. I hope she gets a grip. I'm afraid though she has the left of center pushing her.
