"Such thinking is rooted in a selfishness that only comes from a severe narcissistic personality disorder" you alleged against Ms. Sheehan.
Do you hold a M.D., Ph.D degree and have clinical experience in such matters, or is your phony quotation and instant diagnosis based upon same a selfish symptom of a severe narcissistic personality disorder?
Please refrain from engaging in personal attacks falsely leveled against a fellow citizen who dares to merely express via speech her opinion in America.
After all, she lost her son in combat while in contrast you will not honor her First Amendment rights. Have you given as much as she? Can't you give her a break? And wouldn't that be simply observing the great instruction rendered two-thousand years ago, love thy neighbor as thyself -- no exceptions?
May God Bless You.
There, that's out of the way :-)
The inconsistency which many see in Ms. Sheehan is that there are or have been (through the years) millions of Americans who have lost loved ones during wars.
The overwhelming majority of them do not carry on like this.
And don't get started on the "...died needlessly" drivel. Many, many more people died needlessly in various Civil War battles, or WW I (due to inept generals) than this. We took over an entire COUNTRY for less casualties than in a single day of fighting in a single battle in other wars.
The truth is that (as many other FReepers have stated) the left is promoting this to reinforce the "Bush Lied, People Died" mantra. NOTHING the left does is genuine, sincere, or spontaneous--it has been planned in the bowels of Ted Kennedy, the Hildabeest, or worse, before being rolled out. Think of Rush Limbaugh's term "journalistic fronts."
The FReeper you are attacking did not attribute a quote to Ms. Sheehan.
He also did not express any disregard for her 1st Amendment rights, or even suggest she curtail her speech.
Your question asking if he has sacrificed as much as her...I'm sorry, I didn't get the memo where the right to speak only applies to people who have buried a child killed in a foreign war. I thought it applied to all Americans.
But to take the cake...Posting the Golden Rule in defense of this woman who at best is a mouthpiece for human maggots who get fat off our honored dead is quite despicable. What's your take on Cindy Sheehan loving her son so much she'll dishonor the cause he fought for? What's your take on her loving her Neighbor GW Bush so much she lies about him, portraying him as a grinning ghoul when he really showed her family every kindness and respect? What's your take on her loving her Iraqi neighbor so much she demands to know what "noble cause" her son died in, apparently believing that liberating 25 million people from a torturocracy doesn't qualify as "noble." What's your take on her loving her neighbor the American soldier so much? Let's take just one group she has allied herself with--Code Pink. In just the last year they have done the following to the American soldiers who Casey Sheehan served with, and died trying to protect:
They have called them killers in numerous protests.
Every Friday night they protest the soldiers being wounded for oil mere yards from their sickbeds at Walter Reed.
They sent $600,000 to terrorists and terrorist sympathizers in Fallujah.
They endorse a statement/manifesto calling our soldiers' actions war crimes that require a Nuremburg-style tribunal. Note that this petition is also endorsed by another group of Sheehan-supporters, Veterans for Peace.
So take your own advice, and "Please refrain from engaging in personal attacks falsely leveled against a fellow citizen who dares to merely express via speech his opinion in America." Or at least get informed a bit about the kind of fifth-columnist scum Sheehan runs with.
