Good day everyone.  I don't know about any of you, but I have had a variety of feelings on the Sheehanigans in Crawford, Texas.  When this whole fiasco started, I felt for Cindy.  I did not support her cause, but I felt that she was in desparate need of mental help:  She was a mother distraught by her son's death.  Who wouldn't be?  As events unfolded and the right "smeared" Cindy,  my feeling about her modified to dupe of the left, still distraught mother.  Now, I'm tired of it.  I have absolutely had it with the media painting her as a grieving selfless mother.  I catch up and the Huffington Post every day, just to see the story book Cindy is writing.  I'm tired of reading, "It was so wonderful to be with so many friends..." and how magical the candle light vigils are.  Gag me. I can't take the media's abstract portrayal of Cindy Sheehan as a benevolent mother who wants to save the world from the imperialistic USA and it's emperor, George W. Bush.  In reality, I see her as an obessive socialist/pacifist, who believes that war is always wrong, that all wars are pointless and not worth fighting for (BTW, if someone could write a dialog between Cindy and George S. Patton if he were still alive, I'm sure everyone would get a kick out of it).  And to hate your country so badly and then try and say she supports the troops is pure crap.  I have had it with the media portraying her as an authority on military action, politics, and patriotism.  Patriotism is supporting your country, or working to change it, patriotism is NOT deliberately trying to undermine the military by providing propoganda to the enemy, we call that treason.  I am not directly calling Cindy a traitor, but consider what her actions do to troop morale.  Would you still consider her a Loving mother or a Kool Aid drinker?
