At first, I felt compassion for Cindy Sheehan. I can't imagine anything more difficult than losing a child - even an adult child of 24. And thousands of Gold Star Moms know her pain personally.
But then I realized Cindy Sheehan is merely a publicity seeking nutjob, who will use anything - even the death of her son - to spout her racist hate and anti-American sentiment.
According to Sheehan, "This country is not worth dying for."
Apparently Casey thought it was. Not only did he enlist in the armed forces, but he RE-enlisted. HE believed in what he was doing. He stood tall and proud, and he gave all in defense of not only his countrymen, but in the hope that the people of Iraq could live free, without being under the thumb of a brutal, murderous dictator or under the rule of the extremist terrorists.
Casey was a hero.
Cindy Sheehan has no respect for her son, his choices or what he stood for and what he died for.
When the families of other fallen soldiers asked her to take down the crosses in the field at Crawford that bore the names of their sons and daughters, she disrespected them by not honoring their request.
Casey's family totally stands behind him and his choices, even after his death. It is only his nutjob mother who has disrespected him in death, and as a result of her lunatic behavior, her husband is divorcing her.
She has spouted enough racist retoric during her August venture into Crawford to do David Duke proud. In fact, David Duke, Grand Shithead of the Klan, was seen being physically embraced by Cindy (birds of a feather and all that rot). They dig each other because they both hate Jews (hate is such a bonding force).
This is not about Casey. It's about Cindy Sheehan's desire to be famous, to have the cameras on her while she perpetuates the lies and racism.
Another young man who graduated high school with Casey Sheehan also joined the military (Marines). David Colip does not support Cindy Sheehan's self-centered grandstanding and begged his mother, Toni, to support his decision, even if he ends up injured or killed.
"He said, 'Don't dishonor me, don't walk on my grave,'" Toni Colip said.
It's too bad Cindy Sheehan feels no compulsion to respect her son. Instead, she walks on his grave daily.
