BUZZURRO

Today I received a surprise phone call from a friend who lives in the US. He was feeling a little under the weather but hoped that he would feel better enough to attend the anti-war rally in Washington DC this weekend.

‘You are seriously going to that so-called anti-war rally? With Cindy Sheehan?’ I said astonished. My friend is a left wing Democrat. I support that, well, support is strong word, tolerate it.that sounds better. I tolerate his left wing views.

He responded ‘Yes, of course. Cindy Sheehan lost her son. She is against the War in Iraq, just like me !’

I then said ‘That’s not all she is. Do you know that she recently wrote a letter asking that the US troops get out of ‘occupied New Orleans’ even though the governor finally invited them ?’

He responded ‘No, I had no idea.’

Then I said do you know that in the spring she wrote a letter stating that the war in Iraq was fought for Israel, and her son died for Israel, and not for the US’.

He responded ‘No.’

Then I said ‘Did you know that because of this letter David Duke and all of his American Nazi party friends support her ? They all speak in her favor, and she accepted it.’

He responded ‘No. I had no clue.’

Then I said to him ‘Did you know that Cindy Sheehan called Osama Bin Laden an ‘alleged’ terrorist, even though he admitted plotting the 9-11 attacks ? I don’t know what one has to do to become a ‘real’ terrorist in her mind then.

I also told him that the rally that he is talking about is to be sponsored by ANSWER (Act Now to Prevent War and Racism). They equate zionism with racism and want the colonist Israelis to get out of Palestine -all of it-and leave no Israel at all.

He reponded ‘Well, I didn’t know these things, and I certainly don’t support them. I’m pro-Israel and gay so I am against the Nazi party for sure. Maybe I won’t go to the rally after all.’

Then he asked me ‘How do you know these things ? You live so far away.’

My answer ? I read. And not just one source either.

He replied ‘Wow!!!’ like I just performed some amazing stunt. He then said ‘You are so smart !’

Smart has nothing to do with it. I click a few buttons on my PC. That’s all I do.

How many other people at the anti-war rally will be like him though? Not knowing what they are marching for. Doing things blindly. Not doing their research.

Just doing. That to me is more scary then Cindy Sheehan and Nazis and ANSWER put together.

Andrea Garland:

we have learned that the reason our part of the neighborhood flooded was not due to the hurricane, but rather to a misguided effort on the part of our government. Fearing that the flood waters would invade Uptown New Orleans (the wealthy, white part of town), they dynamited another hole in the levy on our side to let flood waters in there and keeping them away from Uptown. Apparently they over did it with the dynamite.

WONDERFUL !! She’s my anti-hero !!

Evidently, she got an abstinence crisis from media under-exposure. Poor lady ! Hurricane Katrina must have been a strong psychological hit for her.

I am a registered member of the Democratic party. Why? Because I agree with their party platform that abortion should be a woman’s choice. I think there should be stem cell research. I support gun control. I am opposed to the death penalty. Not exactly Republican material. I was initially against the Iraqi war. I was quite content with my decision to be a Democrat, but somewhere along the line I became discontented.

The Democratic Party that I joined was about politics. Now it seems they are more more about blaming Bush for everything that they consider wrong. They don’t waste their time studying facts. The majority of the Democratic Party supports Cindy Sheehan. While I initially pitied her because of her loss, I am now convinced that she is shamefacedly using her son’s death to convey all her lunatic issues to the public. After all, he was not ‘a little boy’ He was an adult. He made his decision to join the military. He volunteered This fact seems to slip by her and slip by her democratic supporters.

I agree now that Coalition forces should remain in Iraq. If they just pick up and leave Iraq like the Democratic party wants, what will fill the vacuum left? More terrorists and fanatics who want to impose Sharia law on the whole world? I am afraid to find out.

Al Sharpton screams George Bush hates black people. That is ludicrous! Yet most Democrats either agree or are silent if they don’t. They blame George Bush 100 percent because the Katrina aftermath rescue has been slow, yet there were photos published all over the internet (including this blog) about how the Mayor, a black Democrat, did not evacuate those who were too poor or frail to do it on their own. I read today on CNN how a representive from Louisiana refused the intial Red Cross help because of ‘logistic problems’, yet I don’t remember reading in any newspapers that there were ‘logistical problems’ so they couldn’t move their camera trucks in to film a story.

While there have always been ‘Hanoi Jane’ Fonda type idiots in the Democratic party, they were always the fringe, not the main contingent.
Times have changed. The fanatical left wingers rule. Reality doesn’t matter any more.
I live abroad and don’t vote in local elections, but in 2008 I cannot, with any bit of conscience, vote Democrat. Is there such a thing as a moderate Republican ?

When asked by reporters, Sheehan said she believes that while she supports the continued hunt for Osama bin Laden she believes the U.S. should withdraw from Afghanistan and “stop bombing innocent people.” She also described Osama bin Laden as being “allegedly” behind the attacks of 9/11.

To those who have criticized her political stance, which includes allegations that the war in Iraq was “done for Israel” that George Bush is “the world’s biggest terrorist” and that al Qaeda may not be behind attacks on America, Sheehan said, “I know my son better than anyone else. I don’t want anymore of my buddies killed just because I’m dead.”

Another piece of news about Cindy: a neo-nazi group called Stormfront White Nationalist Community is gathering in Crawford, TX, in support of Cindy:

Our purpose in journeying to the Crawford protest against Bush’s Neocon War for Israel is to: Let The World Know That White Patriots were First & Loudest To Protest This War For Israel

(Hat tip: LGF)

Yep, she said that: terrorists killing Americans are “freedom fighters.”

(Just read on Free Thoughts)

“‘I now know he’s sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis,’ Cindy said after their meeting. ‘I know he’s sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he’s a man of faith.’

“For a moment, life returned to the way it was before Casey died. They laughed, joked and bickered playfully as they briefly toured Seattle.

“‘That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together,’ Cindy said.”
