There Needs to be a Counterprotest against Cindy Sheehan...BUT for the RIGHT REASONS!!!

A radio station in Texas wanted to do a counterprotest to Cindy Sheehan's protest in front of George W. Bush's ranch (right now his home away from home in DC). The Sith Lord of talk radio Ed Schultz got a hold of this via a caller to his talk program and then made a call to action to make sure this event never took place.

Well it seems to have worked and the EdHeads (fans and listeners of the Ed Schultz show) have been given credit...that and other freedom loving Americans (but believe that socialism brings true freedom) for stopping this counterprotest.

If this was ment to mock Cindy Sheehan and her loss of her son, then it should have been stopped and it has. However their really needs to be a counterprotest, only to point out the double standard of this woman and who is backing her up on this protest of hers.

It has been pointed out that Cindy Sheehan said some nice words regarding George W. Bush about a year ago after her son's death. They did meet face to face. Since that time something has changed and several radio talk show hosts have pointed it out.

Neal Boortz pointed what Sheehan said THEN and what she says NOW

Sorry to tell ya Neal (in regards to the his statements made in the above link) Sheehan will not home.

Boortz also references this story back in 2004 written by David Henson of The Reporter. Here is the complete story.

Bush, Sheehans share moments
By David Henson/Staff Writer

Since learning in April that their son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, had been killed in Iraq, life has been everything but normal for the Sheehan family of Vacaville.
Casey's parents, Cindy and Patrick, as well as their three children, have attended event after event honoring the soldier both locally and abroad, received countless letters of support and fielded questions from reporters across the country.

"That's the way our whole lives have been since April 4," Patrick said. "It's been surreal."

But none of that prepared the family for the message left on their answering machine last week, inviting them to have a face-to-face meeting with President George W. Bush at Fort Lewis near Seattle.

Surreal soon seemed like an understatement, as the Sheehans - one of 17 families who met Thursday with Bush - were whisked in a matter of days to the Army post and given the VIP treatment from the military. But as their meeting with the president approached, the family was faced with a dilemma as to what to say when faced with Casey's commander-in-chief.

"We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled," Cindy said. "The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached."

The 10 minutes of face time with the president could have given the family a chance to vent their frustrations or ask Bush some of the difficult questions they have been asking themselves, such as whether Casey's sacrifice would make the world a safer place.

But in the end, the family decided against such talk, deferring to how they believed Casey would have wanted them to act. In addition, Pat noted that Bush wasn't stumping for votes or trying to gain a political edge for the upcoming election.

"We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere and he didn't have to take the time to meet with us," Pat said.

Sincerity was something Cindy had hoped to find in the meeting. Shortly after Casey died, Bush sent the family a form letter expressing his condolences, and Cindy said she felt it was an impersonal gesture.

"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."

The meeting didn't last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the president to make her son's sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith.

While meeting with Bush, as well as Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, was an honor, it was almost a tangent benefit of the trip. The Sheehans said they enjoyed meeting the other families of fallen soldiers, sharing stories, contact information, grief and support.

For some, grief was still visceral and raw, while for others it had melted into the background of their lives, the pain as common as breathing. Cindy said she saw her reflection in the troubled eyes of each.

"It's hard to lose a son," she said. "But we (all) lost a son in the Iraqi war."

The trip had one benefit that none of the Sheehans expected.

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

For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again.

"That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together," Cindy said.

So what is true Cindy? Was Bush nice to you then or plan mean as you now claim?

Gunny Bob Newman pointed out on his evening talk show on KOA-AM Denver that Sheehan has made alliances with groups that have ties to communist and socialist causes. One of those groups Newman pointed out is a woman's anti-war group called Code Pink. One of its co-founders is Medea Benjamin and is one of those people that found heaven in Cuba (that is before they kicked her out), and has no love for the state of Israel. Benjamin is also a strong supporter of many communist causes and is staunchly anti-capitalist.

Newman also reported that George Soros himself is also funding this protest put on by Sheehan.
There truly needs to be counterprotest against Cindy Sheehan, but NOT to mock her. Instead we need to show America (and hopfuly her) how misguided she is regarding this protest ...or whatever she needs to call it.

The first this counterprotest needs to point out that what she is really doing is DISHONORING the memory of her son Casey and his death. Sheehan is also dishonoring him by telling Ed Schultz and his listeners that he did not support this war (and keep in mind that most people truly dislike war in general) in the way that he hated his Commander in Chief.

The second thing is that we need to point out are the groups behind Sheehan and what their true agenda is, which is more/less create another Vietnam and do what they can to make sure to make sure the America loses another war. Many of these anti-war protests past and present have never seen a marxist/communist/socialist that they ever disliked. This leads me to the third that needs to be pointed out.

The third thing we need to point out is that many of these anti-war protesters turned a blind eye when the socialists in Vietnam (and everywere else) started killing their own people, especially those who opposed them pior to their takeover. Some like David Horowitz saw the light regarding the "new left" and are now doing what they kind to expose their dark deeds.

Again we must be understanding toward Cindy Sheehan regarding the loss of her son, but we must stand up to her when it comes to people she is siding and the way they are using her to forward their goals for their socialist utopia.

I am only one person. All I can do is blog. I can only hope this message gets out to as many people as possible, and if it does please let them know about my blog and come back often.
