Being anti-war gets hard
It used to be that being anti-war was cool, people embraced you just because you said you opposed US foreign policy. Especially if you had some sort of “absolute moral authority” that you could attach to that narrow world view. But not only did the economy go to shit, but hippies are out of vogue what with that new President in the White House. Well, according to Cindy Sheehan;
I cringe with embarrassment when I think of the wasted years imagining that there could be any other way to solve problems without killing more innocent people! It’s okay to bomb Libyans to save Libyans (or Iraqis to save Iraqis; or Afghans to save Afghans; or Yemenis to save Yemenis, etc) because a Democratic president who has been given the cover of the UN Security Council may bomb them. Yep, it’s all starting to make sense. With all the continuing conflicts, imagining a world without war was starting to seem useless—and now I know it was! Phew!
This is another kooky idea I had—that the Security Council of the UN oftentimes, if not always, bowed to the will of the global oligarchy—or should we say, OILigarchy. I chuckle, because apparently that notion was either dead wrong, or was just a fact of life up until January 20, 2009.
Here’s another mistaken notion that I labored under all these years: Torture is inhumane and a war crime. Up until just last week, I thought the US torture camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba should be closed and that military tribunals should not resume—but President Obama signed an executive order to keep Gitmo open and resume military tribunals. Wow, it’s like from almost one day to the next, torture and illegal, indefinite detention became acceptable practices.
Talk about self-flagellation. Next thing you know, she’ll be voting and stumping for Republicans so she can get her former luster back.
Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.

At least she’s consistent.
If she ever does realize how wrong she has been, it’s going to be everything anyone can do to keep her from playing in rush-hour traffic.
PN, I won’t stop here from playing in traffic, but I will sell popcorn.
Say “NO” to War, unless a Democrat is President!
PN – Sheehag doesn’t have the common sense God gave an earth worm…
Every time this tremungously stupid cunt opens her mouth, stunning amounts of dumbfuck issue forth. How can anyone be that stupid and still draw air without help?
What she finds amazing and unfathomable is her being totally and irreversibly IRRELEVANT.
USMC Steve,
In some fairness, she was held up as the icon of the anti-war movement (with unimpeachable virtue), and given money, goods, and travel to keep on with her message. Ms. Sheehan was made to feel extremely important for a number of years.
She doesn’t get that now she’s been used, she’s useless. Until the GOP captures the Senate when she’ll be trotted out again.
Then we will witness either the depths of her insanity, or a heartily-welcome flipping of the bird at the Dems.
Sheehan was caught at a vulnerable moment and emotionally hijacked. She will remain as she is until she realizes how she has been used. Whether her nervous system will be able to stand the strain of that revelation remains to be seen.
I feel sorry for this woman for losing her son, but does that bitch realize that she is stomping on his grave every time she opens her mouth and gets arrested by police for protesting something she really knows nothing about? She needs to shut the fuck up, and take her ass back to the kitchen where it belongs.
