Wow..who knew so much crap could be loaded on to just one blog?

Sheehan lost her son. Bush told her it was for a noble cause. She wants to know the "noble cause" he's referring to.

This HONEST questioning of Bush's words and policy have made Sheehan the new demon of the right.

These soldiers aren't heros. They are men and women doing a job. Their job happens to put them in danger sometimes. And that's why they rely on their boss to make sure he doesn't send them into harm's way unless it's absolutely necessary.

In Iraq, it wasn't.

Cindy Sheehan and every other American who sees the sham of Iraq wants answers. And they deserve them.

"Wow" alright... you can say that again: WOW!

Please do not remove Carla's moonbat comment. Rather than discuss how appropriate it is for Sheehan and company to use the honor and memory of fallen soldiers without the families permission in their agitprop, you get the usual bilge.

"Honest" Carla? How honest is it to lie about who this woman is? How honest to abuse the honor and memory of our fallen in such a transparent way?

You're obviously so reality challenged by the Orwellian doublespeak that surrounds your defeatist ilk that you wouldn't know honest if it bit you.

The "Absolute Moral Authority" cloak that you people don has been corrupted you absolutely!

Shame on your utter intellectual dishonesty!

I wouldn't dream of removing Carla's comment. A left-wing troll who can express herself without using obscenities is a rarity.

VH,
Good post, and thanks for leaving carla's post up for everyone to see. They can't discuss the point, only go back to thier recycled bilge. Good response, Mike, nothing to add here. I think most people on the right feel Sheehan is no demon, just horriblly abused by the extreme left.

Carla Dear: My son is applying for a green card, to come all the way from Canada to join the US forces because he believes that the cause is just and the right thing to do. By the sounds of it he's twice as well read as you, and is fully aware of the possible deadly consequences of being in the US forces. Is he a victim too?

Cindy Sheehan and every other American who sees the sham of Iraq wants answers. And they deserve them.

They've been getting answers for nigh on three years now, but when they get them, they just stick their fingers in their ears and shriek, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU. LA-LA-LA, LA-LA-LA!"

Then, they go to DU and make up crazy sh*t about oil and neo-con cabals.

"These soldiers aren't heros. They are men and women doing a job."

I am going to have to disagree. Now, for a brief digression.

In past wars this country has fought, we have relied on conscripts and draftees to carry the brundt of the combat loads. These draftees often didn't want to be there, shirked responsibilities and did the least they could.

Others served with distinction and were awarded for their service.

Since the bar was so low for, say, Vietnam draftees - many of whom refused to fight and did recreational drugs while in combat/support roles - the soldiers who performed above the expectations of their leaders received Bronze and Silver Stars, or DFC's and other awards with greater regularity than today.

Why?

Todays armed forces is an all volunteer force. That means that when a person signs on the dotted line and takes the oath, that person has already performed one heroic act - they have volunteered. They were not coerced or pressed into service. They go because it is what they want to do.

Our armed forces are the most highly trained, disciplined and motivated in the world. They perform more competently than most any other army ever fielded in the history of man. The bar is so high that the only soldiers that are officially recognized as heroes are the ones who do something so incredibly noble and heroic that it can't be dismissed.

While every man and woman in the US services go to work to do a "job" they are risking their lives. Yet they still go. In the face of danger, they grit their teeth and do it, for the person next to them and the people back at home. That is pretty damn heroic.

But, let me guess - you "support the troops" huh?

BTW, thanks for the link, VH.

Let the leftist ranting continue. I only get worried when I don't hear moonbat screeches...

Sheehan lost her son. Bush told her it was for a noble cause. She wants to know the "noble cause" he's referring to.

Were that the case, I don't know that you would find many Americans who would disagree. However, as this and other blogs have painstakingly pointed out, she went from "grieving mother lashing out" to "MoveOn face-on-poster extraordinaire." On my blog, I cut this woman a great deal of slack, taking issue only with her comment that Bush (and not terrorists) killed her son.

After her continuing anti-Semitic ravings and profanity-laced tirades, more Americans like me began to wonder: When does grief borne of losing a child cross the line and become political opportunism? It seems that that question was a legitimate and honest question, but the moonbats howled "How dare you?" How dare I?

Translation: Question not the great Cindy Sheehan, the holder of the purest of motives.

I won't speak for Van, but my guess is that since his blog is dedicated to exposing moonbats like you for the dimwits that you are, it would be counterproductive for him to remove your asinine comment. Every time people like you open your pieholes, Christmas comes early for the rest of us.

Cindy Sheehan lost a son because of the ignorance and negligence of George Bush. Simple as that... Let your hate for liberals close your eyes all you want but we are fighting a war we cannot win for reasons that keep shifting and her son died for that. Of course she is angry. Rather than confront this awful fact, Bush lovers attack and smear anyone who calls his lies and incompetence into question. Even Vets are viciously attacked when they dare disagree with the Liar in Chief.
I am a Vietnam Era Vet and so I know what it means to be lied to but you people are so blinded by your own hate that you would rather send your own sons and daughters to die for a lie rather than admit you were wrong. Where are the WMDs, Mr Bush? Isnt it your responsibility to make sure that you know what you are doing when you send our troops into harms way or is being a "War time President" just like your daddy, more important than exercising your responsibility to get things right? Oh that's right, you were listening to your heavenly Father and he told you to kill and bomb. Ya Sure!
Bush is a liar and a shallow minded moron who has led this country into a needless war for a cause he cant define. Bush is not Jesus..surprising as that may be to some of you

Van, thanks for the traffic you generate. Not just here, but to my site, as well! ;-)

Charlie (wasn't that a Vietnam-era code word for the Commies there?) stumbled his/her/its way over to my blog to regurgitate some of the same MoveOn bile there, too.

This one's almost too easy, isn't it?

Besides, if Charlie is truly a Vietnam-era vet (after all, liberals never lie, do they?), then Ted Kennedy is sober and monogamous.

BTW, Chuck...how about spewing some that brilliant punditry to the families of dead soldiers that somehow aren't as bright as you are, as evidenced by the fact they still support the war and the troops (and even the commander in chief)?

I'd bet that if you told them their kid died for nothing (like those moonbats at Crawford are doing), that sentiment would go over about as well as a fart in church.

Keep talking, dude. You lunatics are the "gift that keeps on giving"!

"These soldiers aren't heros. They are men and women doing a job."

I guess that's not as bad as calling them Nazis like the left had been doing. (Durbin the Turban, Indymedia, et c...)

"Charlie" only said he was a Vietnam Vet. He didn't say which side he was on. His nic is a dead giveaway.

too funny Van... Yeah.. that Charlie was a trip. You can't even reason with folks like that. Apparently any lie they say or fraud they committ is just dandy because their "absolute moral authority" means they are doing the right thing. Just as Howard Dean says "we're in a struggle between good and evil, and we are the good"

Well with that kind of foundation of certainty anything you do is ok.

But what "Charlie" fails to realize is that his reality challenged spew is transparent to everyone but Charlie and his ilk. That ilk of course is still trying to figure out the meaning of the word "is."

I ALMOST feel sorry for these folks. To be so completely brain dead must be a handicap in life. Perhaps we should extend presecription drug benefits to moonbats.

By the way, just so you guys know, Chuckie sent me an e-mail that read the following (please stop reading if f-bombs and other profanity offends you):

Subject: Your (sic) a fucking redneck

You are a fucking idiot for the names you had to resort to in you post on Cindy Sheehan. I am a Vietnam Era vet who at least served. You are just like the fucking coward in chief you ignorantly support. I bet you never even went in the military that is why you slam people that criticize your beloved draft dodging President..

I tell you, with such eloquence for prose (not to mention a grasp of a complicated contraction such as "you're"), it's an absolute wonder these guys have a hard time attracting electoral majorities.

Does anyone other than me get a kick out of moonbats NOW having a problem with a "draft-dodging president", never mind that pesky Texas National Guard thingee?

Also, does anyone really believe that a supposed "Vietnam-era veteran" (which my father truly was) hates Bush yet loves Clinton (which, judging by the venom level, is a given that he does)? Is there more honor in avoiding military service entirely and writing letters professing a loathing of the military in which this moonbat allegedly served, or more honor in serving in a National Guard capacity?

Keep yappin', Chuck. You're amusing the stuffing out of me! :-)
