Most egotistical remarks this month?

"Good-bye America ... you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can't make you be that country unless you want it. "It's up to you now."

Dayum; sucks to be you, doesn't it Cindy? Please tell me that this means you're taking your fat butt to Cuba or South America PERMANENTLY!??

she planned to return to her native California.

"I'm going home for awhile to try and be normal," she said.

Yeah, good luck with that, too. (Normal and California - two words that should NEVER be used together)...

[Guest Strac]

"Good-bye America"... "I'm going home [to California]"...

Wow, she actually made an accurate statement there.

The rise and fall of Cindy Sheehan's popularity has been entertaining to me. The Democrats used her as a prop and when they realized she wasn't effective pretty much abandoned her.

Meanwhile Cindy gets on tv and thinks she's important. She decides to run for congress against either Boxer or Feinstein and I guess gets told the facts of life. Determined to remain in the news she has to pursue wackier and wackier stunts.

She's kind of like the weird kid who had a pool so she had a ton of friends and develops some sort of elitist view of things. Then people start getting their licenses and can drive to another pool and pretty much abandon her totally. Desperate for attention she starts doing crazy things just to get noticed.

There's something worse than being hated, being ignored.

Yeah, I actually had forgotten all about Ms. *****h3@d. Oh well, I guess she will do anything to be in the limelight if only for a second.

see, I have a problem with this..."you are not the country that I love"....

thats because, even though she gave up a marriage and whatnot that she said that she gave up....here's the thing..she didn't give up anything that she couldn't do without, except her son..and she's bitter about that.

I can understand that..but she hasn't lost any more and certainly much LESS than many other American mothers have lost over the age that we've been here.

since she "unwillingly" gave up her son, (that in itself is horse pucky since its an all volunteer army) she feels the need to coddle up to the likes of Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and the other Marxists who will lie to her and tell her what she wants to hear...just like Jesse McBeth. Remember him? he was the "special forces ranger" who was ordered to commit atrocities in the name of uncle sam. He was the toast of the Left who said "see what those ugly troops are doing? war is bad!!"..and who is currently under endightment by the Federal Government for forging his dd214. (that for those of you who don't know, is your service record) to reflect his retarded mack bolan style fantasy. It seems that McBeth got kicked out without finishing bootcamp.

a blogger that I enjoy reading said "the wheels of Justice grind exceedingly slow....but they grind exceedingly fine as well".

buh BYE Sheehan..I can only imagine that your son Joined the army out of shame for your beliefs, in an honest attempt to do his part for his country. You could learn from your sons' beliefs and from his actions on the day he died.

but...you probably won't

I don't know about all this. Cindy Sheehan started out as that most American of things: a grass roots protester. I have to respect that -she is no different that those guys in the 1760s and 1770s annoyed over the price of tea. What happened to Sheehan and the "movement" that grew out of her protest was that the media built it up way bigger than it was and a bunch of half-hearted witless wonders got hold of the protest and made it into something it wasn't. Once the purity of the protest was diminished by that, I lost interest.

Cindy Sheehan was impacted by this war more than anyone else, except for our brothers and sisters in arms. So she more than almost anyone has earned the right to speak her mind. We may not have to agree with her opinion, but I wont chastise her for speaking it.

[saintsfanbrian]

Len - while I agree that she has lost one of the greatest gifts our creator has bestowed upon us, her methodology in getting her point across was wrong.

I agree - you have the right to freedom of speech, and while I don't like what you are saying, I will fight to the death your right to say it. Cindy Sheehan used the death of her son to gain fame and notoriety. She got both and then got passed aside like yesterdays newspaper. Granted, if you haven't read it, it's still news.

I don't agree with your point about "she more than almost anyone has earned the right to speak her mind."

I lost a family member on 9/11, does that give me more right to "hate" the terrorist than any one else? I don't think so, I think we all have the right to "hate" terrorist, asparagus, or anything else as long as that hate doesn't turn in to non-warranted physical violence. In other words, if I hate someone because they eat asparagus, I cannot fight them for that, if they however throw asparagus on me then I have the right to return force with force.

Cindy camping out at the Presidents farm in Texas was a media ploy. She embraced it and sought it out. She could have just as easily written letters/emails/flyers etc and sent them to the President, but that wouldn't have gotten her on the front page of the newspapers and 15 minutes on ABC news.

Grass Roots - sure, go out and plant the seeds. I will help you as long as our views coincide, other wise plant away and I will do what I can to keep the government from mowing it down. But no one, NO ONE, has any MORE rights than ANY ONE else.

[Guest Len]

But no one, NO ONE, has any MORE rights than ANY ONE else.

Brian, I think we essentially agree on this point. If my wording implied I thought Sheehan had more right than me or you or anyone else to protest, then I apologize.

I just found her protest more interesting as it came from someone who suffered a genuine loss, rather than someone who's merely complaining because the cost of gas went up.

[saintsfanbrian]

No worries, Mate. It was an interesting protest.

[The Rabbi]

Its not a question whether she has the right to say what she does. We all admit she does.

It is a question whether she is right to say what she does. She isnt.

It is billed as her "resignation." She was never elected to anything other than Royal Pain In The A**, so how can she resign from that? Completely self-serving. An utter disgrace.
