Big news today, Cindy Sheehan was arrested...along with pictures of a smiling Cindy being carried off by the police after being warned 3 times to move on as they did not have a permit to do what they were doing. One protestor jumped the fence onto the White house lawn...he's damned lucky he was not shot. They had every right to, but no I feel the police did their best and showed a great deal of restraint in the entire incident. Of course, I'm sure that did not please Cindy as she would have loved a riot. that's, in my opinion, what she went there for. Other pictures show Cindy walking through the crowd blowing kisses to her fans...how arrogant...but she certainly is getting the attention she wanted.

Sadly the entire reason for the March on Washington, in my opinion, has been lost to the Cindy Circus. Just what was the reason...can anybody remember what that was? Well it started out by groups of people who were against the reasons we went to war in Iraq. Here are what the original beefs were. and questions myself would like answers to:

Why Did we invade Iraq
Where are the Weapons of Mass Destruction
Do we have a FIRM EXIT STRATEGY and if not WHEN will we have one
WHERE IS BIN LAUDIN the one who did attack the US and how did Iraq get blamed?
But mainly WHEN WILL WE BRING OUR TROOPS HOME?

These are the legitimate questions that were being asked before the Cindy Circus came to town. These are the questions and the arguments we had wanted to bring forth. Instead we get a poor grieving mom who camped out on his vacation door step wanting yet another meeting with Bush as to why her son died. Again the entire march on Washington turned into that same thing. Did we get our point across intelligently based on facts and meaningful dialog? No instead the circus came to town and Cindy once again is plastered all over the news...and what did we accomplish? Cindy got arrested...well well now we really made our point didn't we.

Now before this march took place, our nation has witnessed the most devastating occurrence in the history of the US. First Hurricane Katrina and then Rita. I was planning on going to the March on Washington, but when this began, I canceled cause I felt it was more important to see what I could do to help with the Hurricane relief and the people I saw suffering and literally dying before my eyes on the TV. What I was looking at looked like a third world country not the USA...so I decided that took priority. And yes, I will be leading the charge asking for a full investigation as to why the relief effort for Katrina was so badly handled. A non biased, non political investigation and I hope heads roll when we find out the truth about this latest major goof by our administration. but I digress...more on that later.

Now to add insult to injury, I read a statement made by Cindy that the Military has occupied New Orleans. where the HELL does this woman get off...has she no sense at all, no sense of honor or respect? Then upon further research I find the following article on Cindy...she was upset the hurricane took away her spotlight...well that was too much. Reading further even the extreme leftist friends of hers could not handle that. So...in the interest of time here I have included that post regarding her remarks and my reply. I think that will say it all and will fully explain my thoughts on this latest showing of the Cindy Circus:

Leftists Turn on Cindy Sheehan

Posted by Rocco DiPippo @ Monday 26 September 2005, 7:37 pm
It seems that Cindy "Look-at- Me!-Look-at Me!" Sheehan is now rubbing even far-leftists at the Daily Kos the wrong way.

In Saturday’s comments section of the flagship leftwing blog Sheehan laments that Hurricane Katrina is diverting attention from what should have been her big day. "i am watching cnn and it is 100 percent rita…even though it is a little wind and a little rain…it is bad, but there are other things going on in this country today…and in the world!!!!," the adolescent Cindy cries to Kos readers.

Sappy Cindy’s thoughtless comment ignites a backlash of anti-Sheehan remarks from the Kos community: "I’d like you to tell us it’s just a little wind and rain. They’ve lost their homes, jobs and businesses and gone through fear and panic while you bask in your fan’s adulation, party with your celebrity friends and play the star.

Shame on you, you’re jealous of media coverage of other’s suffering. You’ve become a caricature and I no longer support you. I’m ashamed I ever did," says commenter "Hibsnet."

Kos commenter "Rationality," jumps into the exchange and rips into Sheehan:

"Sorry Cindy, but I must say that the suffering in Texas right now is quite pertinent. In fact, at a time when we have people suffering, left homeless and devastated from "a little wind and a little rain," I think you can take a break from the camera just for a moment."

Commenter "Abuali" throws Sheehan to the mat by saying,

"That is damn stupid. The death toll from these hurricanes is still rising, and you really think the Iraq war doesn’t get covered? What a selfish woman! I’d be downright ashamed to read anything else you have to say from here on in."

Other commenters dive into the mix and trash Sheehan for all she’s worth. It gets so brutal that one can imagine the terrorist-loving Sheehan being reduced to tears as she realizes that people who once saw her as a potent weapon in their Bush-hate arsenals now view her with a combination of loathing and derision.

It is good to see that even among some leftists, Sheehan’s self-aggrandizing game of "Hate the U.S." is finally up.

Who will be the next "Great Left Hope?"

If in fact this is true (I’d like to see some verification…just for my information) it does not surprise me. Cindy Sheehan has made this entire movement about her and her grief. When faced by others in the same boat and those of us who are proud of our soldiers standing by the oaths they took, we are put down. I have a fiancé in Iraq, and while neither one of us agree with what led up to this war he is there because he took an oath like many others and they are simply trying to get home in one piece. Cindy on the other hand would have you think they are murderers, and spread lies about them using illegal ammunition and such. She also made the statement that New Orleans is being occupied by the Military. She’s gone too far and what at one time was a legitimate cause has turned into Cindy Circus. We DO NEED A FIRM EXIT STRATEGY from Iraq. There are questions that need to be addressed about why we went into Iraq. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE BIN LAUDIN is? Why is he still running free. These are questions I feel need to be addressed and actions that need to be taken. But when you slam our troops who are simply doing what they signed up to do she goes too far. Casey Sheehan not only enlisted the first time but REENLISTED AND THEN VOLUNTEERED FOR THE MISSION HE WAS KILLED ON. Casey was a Soldier and obviously believed in his duty…by Cindy’s own statements. She should honor that in her son and stop the “all about me and my grief” crap.

In appalled and furious that she would spew her poison about the military helping out in the Gulf States. Seems to me that the military was the first to start rescuing people, the first to bring in supplies, the first to bring back law and order to a lawless town, and the first to get the evacuees out of the convention center and the dome. Now tell me…if we pulled all of our military out of all the Gulf states hit by Katrina and Rita…who do you think would be the first to complain? Right….Cindy…saying the troops left their job undone. They are there helping and making one hell of a difference…where was FEMA, the Administrations help agency? Some places still have not seen a FEMA or REDCROSS person/people. They have seen the military troops and other civilians putting themselves at risk to help with rescues, food, water, and clean up.

Go after the Administration…demand a firm exit strategy, demand answers to why we went into Iraq. Fine…get an investigation going on that. But when you start slamming the troops you’d better start ducking, cause let me tell you there isn’t one damn troop there that would not rather be at home with their families…and they are not there to murder…it’s shoot or be shot in most cases…no troop wants to kill. And Cindy... I suggest you remember that your right to protest was fought for and granted because some Soldier shed their blood and made sacrifices for this Country.

Cindy, you have completely ruined any credibility you may have had as a spokesperson for the Military Families I know. No one will take you seriously due to your circus act and your bad mouthing of our hardworking honor bound troops. Go home and let us that know how to have an intelligent debate based on facts and figures take the lead. NO MORE CINDY CIRCUS.

Oh and Cindy, sorry to disappoint you…but death and the complete devastation of almost the entire Gulf coast does take priority over your “poor grieving me” antics.

So nuff said…I’ll step off my box.
