Sheehan Supporters: I'll Have a Glass
According to a EiTB News article, "anti-was" advocates held a vigil in front of the White House last night.
"We support Cindy Sheehan indiscriminately, said activist spokesperson Maureen Stewart. "As the mother of a dead soldier, she has absolute moral authority. Anything she says must be right.
“She said George W. Bush is personally responsible for her son's death, so it must be true. She said that America and the Heb—Kik—Israelis are responsible for Islamic terrorism, and they obviously are. So we should pull our troops out of both Iraq and Afghanistan, shrieking loudly if at all possible, even if the Iraqis and Afghanis don't yet want us to. It's for their own good.
"And when Mother Sheehan said to that evil Maniac Resident Chimperor Shrub:
"You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East. You tell me that, you don't tell me my son died for freedom and democracy.Cuz, we're not freer. You're taking away our freedoms. The Iraqi people aren't freer, they're much worse off than before you meddled in their country.
You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine."
"…she was speaking truth to power. It was like listening to Jesus. Or Michael Moore."
Sheehan, who compared America to a cancer and called President Bush the "biggest terrorist in the World," has spurred a new movement among the radical left that wish the bastion of terror that is the United States, the "never was" movement.
This "anti-was" faction, back by an anonymous donor who has only been referred to cryptically as "Dr. K," has decided that the best way to undo the damage caused to the world by America's imperialistic love of war and cheap gas (currently $2.85 in many areas) is to undo America, starting with imperialist American elites.
"Towards that end, we are willing to lead by example," said Stewart. "We're advocating that everyone who wants to rid the world of terrorism join the anti-was movement. If the U.S. never was, terrorism would never be."
Preach on, sister.
Various chapters of the anti-was movement are planning a countrywide protest from Chappaqua to Santa Monica in the near future. Final dates and locations have not yet been determined, but free refreshments have been promised to all those who attend.
Just my opinion.
Bush did not make a bad decision in invading Iraq.
Decisions were made based on intelligence provided to him and all the cabinet members and congress. It has not been proven to date whether there were Wmd's in Iraq at the time of the war or not. This still remains an unanswered question. We all know they "were" there.
~The world is a better place with Saddam gone.!~
Can anyone deny that?
It wasn't until our troops started getting killed by evil and sick terrorists that people began to complain. "Kinda" like the viet nam war.
This country needs to stand behind the President and its leaders reguardless of how you feel about the war in Iraq. Things would be a lot better for the troops over there as well as the USA as a whole.
~United we stand~
~Divided we fall~ !
Please grow up and stop your moaning and complaining.
Its really "not" about the war, its all political. Thats the real truth of the matter and thats sad!
UNREAL...WHO DIED AND GAVE HER THE RIGHT TO MAKE DECISIONS. LOL
AND SHE SAID. ..
You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East. You tell me that, you don't tell me my son died for freedom and democracy.
Cuz, we're not freer. You're taking away our freedoms. The Iraqi people aren't freer, they're much worse off than before you meddled in their country.
You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine."
"…she was speaking truth to power. It was like listening to Jesus. Or Michael Moore."
I attended that vigil Wednesday night, but not on the Sheehan side. FreeRepublic staged a "support the troops" counter demonstration only feet away from the MoveOn, Sheehan-supporters. Trust me, these people are anything but "peaceful". We were severly outnumbered, but it was certainly quality over quantity, especially since Kevin Pannell, an OIF Veteran and remarkable young man, was on our side.
Not only did they sing "amazing grace", but they broke out in a rendition of "we shall overcome". One of the funniest moments came when someone shouted, "do you know any songs past 1969?"
It was quite an event and the left were in full "anti-American" mode.
Though they had the clear majority out there, they just couldn't stand it that 25 people bothered to show up and counter their lunacy. Many of them couldn't resist lurking over to our side, spewing their venom and trying to pick a fight. A maturity deficit was certainly on display.

Do the parents who support the war hold the same weight as the ones on the Left?
I'm sure they don't just wanted to ask.
