Shouldn't this be considered treason?
Sheehan Supports U.S. Deserters in CanadaSourceBy CAROLYN THOMPSON

Saturday, June 17, 2006; 9:44 PMFORT ERIE, Ontario -- A group of American military deserters publicly embraced their new lives in Canada on Saturday with the support of "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan, who said she wished the son she lost in Iraq was among them.
"I begged him not to go to Iraq," the anti-war activist said through tears at a rally in support of the former soldiers, who wore black T-shirts emblazoned with "AWOL." "And I wish he was standing up here with these people because he didn't want to go."

We're channeling each other again, sweetie.

The Casey Sheehan story deserves better than the nonsense his birth mother spouts. This woman is an abomination cashing in on her son's death to make herself have her 15 minutes of fame. She is yesterday's news.

She's only yesterday's news, Jim, when she no longer serves the purpose of her handlers.
*That's* the sad part.

It should have been considered treason when it happened during the Vietnam War when both Jane Fonda AND John Kerry (among others) should have been prosecuted. It it is STILL treason - whether done by Sean Penn (below 100 IQ is no excuse), or Cindy Sheehan or John Murtha!
There is a very substantial difference between honest discussion and debate of policy and the kind of thing in which Sheehan, Murtha, Kerry, Feingold and others traffic.
Why don't we prosecute them? Beats the heck out of me! I think we should, long since.

She even followed the President to Austria to protest THERE! Don't we have stalking laws in this country, at the very least? Blech.

Yeah, he didn't want to be there. That's why he VOLUNTARILY RE-ENLISTED.
I think she was kidnapped by Rovian agents, lobotomized, and inserted into the peace movement to make them look even more idiotic.

The real traitor is the anti-christ, aka "Pres." George Bush. Evil is among us and it calls itself Christianity. More people have died at Georgie's hands than all the "terrorists" combined.
Open your eyes. Open your minds.

Geez, SWWBO, did I leave the door open?
And I daresay I have a more open mind than you do, Dan.
Just guessin'.
How new age. "Open your eyes. Open your minds."
I am suddenly blinded by the light. Sigh.
Care to offer something other than fatuous platitudes?
(carefully closes mind, er, door and leaves, bumping into chair on way out because of closed eyes.)

I said open minds...not empty. And an empty mind is good at parroting the Bush-O'Reilly-Hannity-Limbaugh propoganda. An open mind can see it for what it is....hate-speech couched in patriotism and pseudo-religiosity. Gee....that reminds me of another vocal group...oh yeah...the Nazis. Well, you are all good germans, meine Freunde. When you are rotting in hell with your aryan comrades you will finally know the truth: the Bush Administration brought down the towers and blamed it on a few goat-f*ckers so they could launch a corporate driven war.
But I waste my breath....I actually got here by accident trying to figure out wtf the Burger King commercial was all about (you know the one with the chicken)...and I am so tired of seeing a bunch of mis-informed flag wavers that I had to add my 2 cents. So don't worry about banning me or whatever you guys do on these things...
And btw, John-boy....I am hardly new age...in fact I am rather conservative (the real kind that believes in a SMALL government that stays the hell outta my business...like the founding fathers had in mind)...
Buh-bye...
