Cindy Sheehan: "My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel."

Yes, let's all retreat to the woods and live like bark-eating neo-nazis and the Unabomber.

Or we could live like Thoreau and St. Francis.

Or like the holy Anchorites of old.

Or something like the Amish, even.

But no matter. I realize that what I suggest will never happen as a preventative measure.

But if and when a WMD is used on even one city, the people in other cities will begin to move out of their own accord.

Just as centuries ago, when people intuitively left cities for the countryside in times of plague.

And how could we have done that?
We cannot shut ourselves off from the petroleum market. We could not ignore the Soviet threat.

If you ask me, she's a great Mom and his son would be very proud of her were he alive.

Her sister-in-law said her son joined the military to get away from his adoring mother because she was a control freak.

But, that's the tragedy of war: once you're dead, you're silenced and cannot express yourself on how you feel about the war.

He re-upped in 2004, after the war began; that speaks VOLUMES about how he felt about the war.

See post #413 for more of her tirades. (Which the MSM will never report.)



I use to say, always, follow the money!
What does she do for a living? Who is paying her now?? And how much???

[Howlin]

I had to serve. No all-volunteer army back in '72.

So you had the honor of being the only person drafted in 1972?

Hint: nobody was drafted in 1972.

[Howlin]

Exactly.

1. Cities will always be needed as trading centers. The current trend is commuting, not leaving cities empty.

I agree with you on immigration, but it does not change the fact that we need oil. We could and should develop other energy resources. However, we cannot ignore the Islamist threat. Otherwise, they will create a Caliphate from the Phillipenes to Morrocco and overwhelm Europe.
They mean to conquer the world. It is better to defeat them now then wait until we are alone.

[Howlin]

I just love threads like this; some of these people just cannot wait to show their worst side, can they?

She has been brainwashed by the left in the same way the 9-11 wives were.

[Howlin]

Holy crap, she's really gone around the bend, hasn't she?

[Age of Reason]

And how could we have done that? We cannot shut ourselves off from the petroleum market.

I think we could have.

Being dependent on imported oil was a new thing--until around 1960 or 1970, most of our oil was domestic.

All we needed to do was stop wasting energy, lessen demand for energy by ending population growth from immigration, and develop alternative energy sources--which could have been as simple as bicycles or as complex as fusion reactors.

We could not ignore the Soviet threat.

The Soviet Union was much less of a threat than we thought.

Yep. Some topics work like some weird kind of true serum.

BTW, here is the FR thread on the Nightline show that Cindy Sheehan was complaining about:

Nightline Town Hall on Now..Joe Wilson, Richard Perle (Vanity)

It was held in a church. I wonder if it was McGovern's church.

The incestuous nature of these creeps is just mind-boggling.

Her son re-enlisted in 2004 to fight in Iraq.
She is a liar and you are blinded by an isolationist ideology.

As opposed to your living to benefit Bin Laden, Zarqawi, the Wahhbi, the fascist Ayatollahs and their bizarre alliance with the likes of Kim Jong Il and the ANSWER crowd he's funded. How easily your irrational grief is manipulated. How shallow is your understanding of this nation and what it stands for!

[Howlin]

Excellent, joanie and tet.

[beyond the sea]

Sheehan continued, “9/11 was Pearl Harbor for the neo-conservatives’ agenda” and declared the U.S. government a “morally repugnant system.” Then she raged: ---- We have no Constitution. We’re the only country with no checks and balances. We want our country back if we have to impeach George Bush down to the person who picks up the dog sh-t in Washington!

No rationality here.

[AmericanVictory]

BTW, do you still wear that silly skintight suit and carry the twin 45's?

[Howlin]

Fascinating.

[Age of Reason]
