Why am I reminded of those Japanese discovered hiding out in the Pacific, still fighting WWII in the 70's because they can't be at peace with the idea they may have been wrong?

Who is supporting this woman? Is she living off of governmental aid? I hate the idea that my tax dollars are paying for idiots like that!!!
But, you know, I have been to many parts of Texas.. it is truly God's Country. I'd live in a tree house near President Bush's ranch BUT... to show my support and love for what he is doing.
God Bless the USA

Cindy plans to live in a tree??

Sounds about right.

That's "Loser" with a capital L!!

Like all the non-starters before her, she has outlived her usefullness to the left-wing, Bush-Derangement-Syndrome crowd, and they've thrown her overboard. She just doesn't seem to understand this fact, however. She just keeps on with her shtick like some rabid code-pink bunny rabbit on Meth...

The "Bush lied us into war" mantra failed.
The "Farenheit 911" media blitz failed.
The "Valerie Plame" fiasco failed.
The "Economy sucks" effort spun wildly into failure.
The "Cindy Sheehan'ing" of the anti-war (read that, "anti-Bush") movement has failed miserably.
The Karl Rove character assassination effort has failed.
The "Armchair Generals want Rumsfeld to resign" effort has failed.
The "Kill the Patriot Act, Kill the 'Domestic Wiretapping'" effort has failed.
The "Cut and Run and call is 'Redeployment'" effort is failing.
The "What International Coalition?" in Iraq effort has failed.

In a nutshell, everything the Democrats have attempted to do in their effort to bring down this President and his Administration has failed, failed, failed...

So what do you suppose they'll come up with for the upcoming election?

I daresay it will follow the well-worn path of their previous efforts... failure...

Tree Houses?! For the love of God...

Let's just purge all the liberals and quarantine them in some rmote part of the United States.

The president of Iran has the right idea, eh?

TEHRAN — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Tuesday for a purge of liberal and secular teachers from the country's universities, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported in another step back to 1980s-style radicalism.

.....

Since then, Mr. Ahmadinejad also has been replacing pragmatic veterans in the government with former military commanders and inexperienced religious hardliners.

Wow, we could b e just like Iran if Republicans have their way!

Wade

The Crawford Zoning Board and Building Department will have just a little say-so regarding Cindy's treehouse and non-residential enterprise.

Cindy plans to live in a tree??

Yeah, because right now, she's out of her tree!!!

A tree house is a good place for a monkey and other tree dwelling vermin.

Sad that such a fine young man as Casey came from her loins.

I have never seen a Mother so discredit and malign her own son's adult choice and sacrifice for others.

What a sad and useful idiot she is.

No liberals putting in their two cents about this one? Am I to assume that Canuck, mag, shapely, and the boys were invited to live with Cindy? Supposedly she slimmed down on that chocolate shake fast she was on...she should re-inforce her new house from collapse, in case Algore pays her a visit.

You guys amaze me. Cruising this blog site is better than cable! I don't think the best screenwriters in Hollywood could come up with better stuff! The way you all try to prop up Bush is a hoot! I would swear the man were a saint if I didn't know better!

Anyway, the irony of this particular string is that, unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and have never really experienced a hardship a day in your life, all of you have more in common with Cindy Sheehan than you ever have or ever will with Bush.

Why do you feel that you have more in common with a man who has never worked a day in his entire life, than with someone like Cindy Sheehan? You’re so willing to see things his way, than to empathize with a woman who has lost her child. What makes him your superior in life? For that matter, what makes him your equal? Does he know what it’s like to have to get up in the morning to go to a job that you hate so that you can keep a roof over your head and maintain your health benefits? Does he know what it is like not to have a job and be unable to find one? What has he ever done in his entire life that enables him to see the world through your eyes and understand how you are living? When he had an opportunity to serve his country in Vietnam as most middle class and poor people were drafted to do, he had strings pulled to go into the National Guard, which, unlike today’s National Guard, had no chance of ever being deployed to a war zone. Why didn’t he join the Air Force if he wanted to be pilot? But he would have you believe he understands war and how people who have lost loved ones in war feel.

The fact that he murders the English language daily and the polls say people would love to have a beer with him doesn’t make him an ordinary Joe. He will never have a beer with you or invite you out to Crawford for barbecue and scriptures, people! Get a grip!

I would swear the man were a saint if I didn't know better!

Not a Saint, but a helluva lot better man than the Dimocrats have been offering.

When he had an opportunity to serve his country in Vietnam as most middle class and poor people were drafted to do, he had strings pulled to go into the National Guard

More Dimocrat lies? No strings were pulled. He was enlisted earlier due to asking for pilot training. The waiting list was for enlisted men.

Also, he did volunteer to go to Viet Nam, but was denied due to not having earned enough points flying.

Bush & Viet Nam

We know you libby's despise and hate the man who has twice beat your panzied self proclaimed war heroes, but a little honesty just might help you to be taken seriously.

If you have a hard time with honesty, at least try to show a bit more than a single digit I.Q.

Cindy's son was taken from her because of Bush's LIE. She has every right to be upset and do whatever she feels is right.

I notice its really easy for you chickenhawks here to judge her, but you are not willing to make the same sacrifice that she or here son has made.

Thus, it is you people that need to get a life, maybe after you walk a mile in her shoes, you will be in a position to judge her.

But we all know thats never going to happen don't we?

I am quite sure that both Mark and Matt aren't too old that they won't take them if they enlisted, so why are you not in Iraq or Afganistan instead of over here in comfort writing books.

poor Ethan, Having a rough day are we! Go brush up on your Bush facts, you really don't know much, if anything about the guy or his family! oh yah, and don't do your research thru the DU or Daily Chaos, for they really are biased(I know you find that hard to believe).

Ethan, Ethan, Ethan, you must be new here. We don't suffer fools who post unsubstantiated hate speech.

Never worked a day in his life? Yale? MBA from Harrvard? Both with better grades than Teddy Kennedy, Al Gore, or John Kerry. Flew a fighter plane that had the highest crash rate of ANY United States jet aircraft ever?

But - well, smoke your dope. Dope.

Cindy's son was taken from her because of Bush's LIE.

Bull Sh..! Axis! Don't come down here preaching to us mister Canada dry! The sacrifices we & our families have made far outway your destiny to blog big guy. You calling these bloggers chickenhawks when you really don't know crap about them or there lives is truly a testament to the hipocrisy of the left! By the way, Casey made an informed descision, the same way alot of US Americans have. By the way Axis, Cindy was an activist and very outspoken anti-war before Casey left us. She is USING him to further her own agenda!!! Which would explain the lack of support from the rest of Caseys family! She the worst kind of Mom you could have as a soldier(oh and I told her that also),my Mom supported my descisions as a soldier no matter what her beliefs, because SHE KNEW I was a man making my own judgement calls. She respected that!

Axis...what lie?

Please explain. And provide some proof..thanks. Oh, and explain how everyone else was in on the same lie, even people 10 years earlier.

Thanks.

Ha! Well, gang you are always going to have crap for brain commenters like Ethan and the liberal fringe. Somehow trying to find sympathy and make Bush look like the bad guy. As far as Cindy goes, my guess is that someone struck her in the cranium with a baseball bat when she was a child. So her mental capacity is similar to...well.. yes, a gerbil. So, at times it is consistent to fell empathy for someone so fricking stupid.

Axis, Casey Sheehan was a Patriotic American who saw a duty and VOLUNTEERED for it, twice. He, unlike his female parent, is a true American who was willing to take a stand to make the world better.

Cindy, on the other hand, is just another loud mouthed bore who always regretted not being old enough to protest Viet Nam and is making up for lost time by dancing on her Hero Son's grave.

You can flash around "chickenhawk" all you wish. My 18 months boots on the ground in Viet Nam says differently.

Don't forget, your circled upside down "Y" you like to flash around is in reality the footprint of the American Chicken!

As for Mom's who have lost Son's, why is no "moral authority" granted to the many who support the war effort that took their heroes from them?

Cindy Sheehan is a phony and a fraud who only misses her son when it is convenient for the cameras. Otherwise, he is just a tool for her to use for her own shameless self import.

Cindy's son was taken from her because of Bush's LIE.

Bull Sh..! Axis! Don't come down here preaching to us mister Canada dry! The sacrifices we & our families have made far outway your destiny to blog big guy.

Never worked a day in his life?

Do you liberals ever research your insanity or are you born with it?

He had his own oil company that went bust along with many others during the oil bust of Texas. But rest assured, he worked.

He was managing partner of the Texas Rangers. He most assuredly worked.

He was CHOSEN / ELECTED by great state of Texas to work for them as their Governor.

Please, you libs are the ones cracking people up.

So Cindy is going to live in a tree...
Someone had best call up those environmental people... They can build a house in a tree on a lot across from Cindy and protest over all the filth coming out of Cindy’s tree/mouth!!!
AubreyJ.........

Apparently, some Canadians want to cut and run...from Afghanistan. At least one sane Canadian is against this retreat. Peter Worthington at the Toronto Sun.com argues it's No time to cut and run "Casualties are part of worthy mission to destroy Taliban, rebuild Afghanistan"

The cut-and-run crowd are at it again. With five soldiers -- at least four Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) -- killed in what some are calling the biggest battle Canadians have fought since World War II, predictable elements are urging we withdraw our 2,300 troops from Afghanistan.

axis - "you chickenhawks"? Big words from a Canadian.

I know I'm not the only former marine posting here. My brother was Marine also - Hizbollah killed a bunch of his friends in Beirut a few years back. My niece and my nephew are in Iraq (AF and Army respectively). I regularly send CARE packages to my relatives and neighbors who are serving overseas.

What a pompous jerk you are.

Her idea of just pulling out would be disastrous. She is blinded by hatered. Much like you.

Tell me, are there any Candian blogs I can go polute like you polute this one? On second thought, never mind. Who cares about Canada? You're the nation the refused to stand with us when everyone, INCLUDING YOUR OWN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES thought Iraq had WMD. You are not our friends. You are America hating cowards with an inferiority complex. God, I am glad I was not born in Canada.

axis...
Do you even know what chickenhawk means????
Didn't think so!!!!!
How about a HAWK THAT EATS CHICKENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just out of curiosity, where IS Cindy Sheehan getting the money for all this? Hugo Chavez?

Ethan;

Bush did serve his country during the Vietnam War. Contrary to Lib TP#23495, the ANG was not a safe place to sit out the war. This lie is a gross insult, not only to the President but to all the ANG members who honourably served, many making the ultimate sacrifice to serve their country. Air National Guardsmen flew some 30,000 sorties logging 50,000 combat hours in Vietnam and several members of President Bushes ANG Unit were deployed to Vietnam when he joined.

I don't know if you have ever been in a fighter, but it is not for the faint of heart. It's like riding a roller coaster without rails where the slightest mistake or error in judgement gets you killed and the F102s that the TANG flew had the worst safety record of any fighter in US history. If the President wanted to avoid hazardous duty, fliying fighters, especially F102s, was the wrong choice and his daddy, who supposedly pulled strings to keep him safe would have known this all too well as a former fighter pilot.

Kahn,

When and where?

I was in the Corps from Oct 73 to Dec 76.

Well at least you didn't call me a "Moonbat" (What exactly is that, anyway?). So Bush had his picture taken next to a plane during Vietnam and that makes him a war hero. Fine. Whatever. That actually wasn't the point that I was trying to get across in my post. My point is what makes Bush better than you guys or even your equal? What has he ever done in his entire life that warrants all of this praise you guys stumble all over yourselves to shower him with? Is it because he claims to be a christian? Or is it because he is on "your team?"

No matter how you slice it, he is a rich kid who, like most members of congress, has been handed everything in his life. He has no idea what it is like to have to work to survive. He has no idea what average people go through daily because he has never had to go through it. That is a fact. Hence, when I say you have more in common with Cindy Sheehan most of you do, whether you like it or not. She is somebody who can relate to the day to day struggles of trying to make it. She is somebody who, because of her "station" in life would more than likely lose a child fighting this war. Does Bush have a relative in Iraq? Does he have a personal relationship with anybody serving in Iraq? Photo ops don't count. The answer is no. Why? Because people like him and people in his circle don't have to go off to war. They leave that sort of stuff to the poor and what's left of the middle class.

And as far as Bush being a "helluva" lot better than what the "dimocrats" have to offer, wishful thinking doesn't make it true. He isn't even the best man the republicans have/had to offer and you guys know it! You're just making the best of it because your stuck with him until 2008. It will be interesting to see how you guys talk about him after that.

ETHAN:

Wow you are clueless. First what does cindy being of the working class have to do with anything? If your gonna call Bush a rich kid what was John Kerry? Did he struggle to survive, i don't think so. In fact, does Cindy Shee"sham" have a job? a real job? Where's she get all this money to go on Bush bashing tours, to build tree houses, etc? Smells fishy to me, i think the the libs were paying her to be a liberal media focal point. What do you think? Also what makes her different than anyother parent EVER who lost a child in war? Casey (her son) knew what he was signing up for, he supported his country, he died honorably and will forever be remembered (at least by the right)as a war hero who died for a cause and helped liberate millions of Iraqi's. Once the lib's stop paying for her ridiculious tours and hate speeches she too will stop.

Ethan;

Most of us think he is a great man because we've seen him in action. He is a decent, honest man who means what he says and keeps his word. This is extremely rare in life and almost unheard of in politics.

People don't get to choose their parents, they can only choose what to do with the life they are given. President Bush took a small inheritance ~ $17,000.00 from his grandfather started a business, and created a personal fortune in excess of $16,000,000.00.

Throughout his life he has served his country, first in the TANG, then working on election campaigns including both of his fathers presidential campaigns. He has run for elected office himself; he is the first republican to win reelection in Texas history. Has twice been elected president. Seems to me he's done quite a bit. I admire him for his success and dedication to public service.

Anyone who thinks Bush hasn't worked a day in his life clearly does not understand the job of president. It's one of the hardest jobs I can imagine... always people with demands on your time, always the requirement to be properly dressed and looking good, and constantly being critiqued for your every word, gesture, and facial expression. I know I would not want to live like that... I doubt most people would.

Ethan...did you vote for John Kerry in 2004?

You know, the guy worth more than 3X what Bush is worth. The richest of rich...just curious.

A-10

'77-'81. After that, I just couldn't afford it.

My little brother was in from '79-'82. He'd just gone to Okinawa when members of his team from 2nd FSSG went to Beirut. Sadly, several died when Hezbollah blew up their barracks. The Marines on the perimeter had empty weapons (for political reasons, you know so as to NOT offend anyone). They watched that truck-bomber plow through and said he was laughing hysterically.

To tell you the truth, as much as I loved Ronald Reagan I never really forgave him for that. We never pursued the trail back to Iran either. Instead, we fired the CIA operative who spelled out the trail for using rough tactics.
