Cindy Sheehan Broke the LAW!
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 08:41 PM by NanceGreggs
Not the laws currently on the books, mind you, but the laws that the Bush Regime have instituted of their own accord.

Cindy Sheehan continues to publicly grieve for the loss of her son, Casey. Under the Bush Regime, this is unpatriotic. That's why flag-draped coffins are not allowed to be photographed; it might make the public aware of the true cost of this war. It's a 'downer' of the worst kind. If Ms. Sheehan was really interested in 'supporting the troops', she would put a bumper-sticker on her car and leave it at that.

Cindy Sheehan asks pertinent questions, such as, "For what 'noble cause' did my son die?" Under the Bush Regime, true patriots don't ask questions, ANY questions. They just keep their heads down and their mouths closed, because that's how a country founded on the concept of such ethereal concepts as Freedom of Speech was always meant to operate. (Apparently, some people don't understand the 'sarcasm' that is rife in the Constitution, and honestly believe that 'Government for the People and By the People' was meant to be taken literally).

Cindy Sheehan is giving 'aid and comfort' to the enemy. She insists on holding this president and his administration accountable for the lies that got us into this war, and the lies that continue to be told about its purpose and its progress. A real American would simply accept the lies as truth, and wouldn't let on to the 'enemy' that any American holds life dear, and thinks there are alternatives to violence and aggression.

And just to add insult to injury, Cindy Sheehan, one of the People, shows up at a public event -- the State of the Union address (right there in the People's house!) -- wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the number of our own war dead, in an obvious attempt to bring attention to our Esteemed Leader, a humble and self-effacing man, who doesn't want to BRAG about how many US soldiers have sacrificed their lives to his 'noble cause'.

When will this madness end, Ms. Sheehan? Will you not be happy until the ENTIRE country wakes up to the sound of your incessant criticism of this wonderful president and his regime, who have brought such peace, economic prosperity, and world-wide accolades from around the globe?

Some people just don't GET IT.

12. Official book bans don't happen too often.

Just books are not bought. Try to find Howard Zinn's book "People's History of the United States." A basic reader of alternative history. You will not find it in many high schools or city libraries. They Say too controversal. what a bunch of crap. It is so well documented. SOme just can't stand the truth.
Of course, book bannings- what about book burnings by fanatics. That has not been uncommon.
and, there technically is a law allowing for the prohibition of certain books brought into the United States.
Then there are other methods of thought police.You have Lynn Cheney, Joe Libermann and now David Horowitz's efforts to monitor college instructors and want to impose some kind of quotas and control as to kind's of curriculum to be taught. Horowitz of late has had some nasty feedback to his failed control efforts by his thought police out at UCLA.

6. This is what makes me crazy...
Froot-loop neocons screeching about the brave troops "protecting our freedoms" in Iraq are the first ones who seek to deny freedom of speech to the mother of one of the troops who fought and died. These people have absolutely no conception of what freedom really means, nor do they care.

They beat the war-drums...as long as they are safe here at home...and praise the troops...unless one happens to speak up about having their benefits denied...they are uber patriots, and love the USA, unless you are a member of an ethnic, racial, or sexual minority...they are all for sacrifice...as long as it's not theirs. Truly, they are a pathetic group of people.

I only hopes that Cindy will make the entire country wake up to the truth of what's going on. She is a brave, dedicated woman, who will never get over her son's senseless death. As a mother, I am so very proud of her, and what she stands for
