Sacrifical Lamb?
Thanks to BobF, I decided to check out Cindy Sheehan’s blog site. Sure enough, according to Bob, PETA has a booth set up (Click the “Camp Casey Tour” video). What PETA has to do with this is anybody’s guess unless they’re just there as one more Leftist organization riding Mrs. Sheehan’s publicity coat-tails. What really caught my eye is the following from Mrs. Sheehan, posted today ....
I apparently am the sacrificial lamb of the peace movement. I don’t care about myself. Putting myself in the forefront and daring to challenge the president on his lies left myself open to the attacks. Which are, of course, half truths and distortions.
When they start sliming my home life and my family, that’s where I draw the line. Yes, my husband has filed for divorce and yes he filed before I left for the VFP Convention and this trip to Crawford and yes IT IS BETWEEN MY HUSBAND AND I.
Having Casey murdered in Iraq by George Bush’s reckless policies has been hard enough on my family, but me setting off on my holy war to bring the troops home, my constant absences, and all of the media attention has put additional stresses on my family.
I chose my path after Casey died. The rest of the family has chosen theirs. We all still love each other and support each other in anything that we do. We didn’t want Casey to join the Army, but once he made that decision, we supported him and even encouraged him through boot camp.
We are a normal American family who have had good times, bad times, and terrible times. We hope the good times will come back. We hope that we will be able to laugh with abandon together like we used to one day. We hope that the troops come home and no other families have to go through what we are going through.
It isn’t about politics for us. No one asked Casey what political affiliation he was before they sent him off to die in Iraq and no one asked us who we voted for in 2000 before we were handed a folded flag from Casey’s flag-draped coffin.
I am not perfect and I never even claimed to be perfect. My family isn’t perfect, but we are pretty special ... especially the children. We all miss Casey so much and it is George Bush and his neocon cabal who is at fault. The people who are dragging my family through the mud need to grow up and look at themselves. The Christ said: “He who is without sin, cast the first stone.”
If everyone followed Jesus’s advice, the world would be a much better place.
If you really want to convince people that this is not political, don’t talk about how “it isn’t about politics” and then use phrases like “George Bush and his neocon cabal”. All you’re convincing me of with that kind of talk is the fact that you want to play the victim and garner sympathy while claiming to be non-partisan and engaging in name-calling at the Administration. Do you not see the duplicity in all that? If you don’t, you’re in worse shape than I thought.
Most importantly, stop listening to the voices of the Leftists you find yourself surrounded with there at your little camp in Crawford. Listen to your inner conscience. Listen to your family - the people who have known you most of your life - who also miss Casey. You probably won’t listen to me since I don’t agree with your position. Why not talk to your preacher and don’t be afraid to take advice from those who love you. Most of all, talk to your husband. He also lost a son. Remember?
.. thanks to Jaguar for the link to this cartoon, which pretty much sums it up ..
Update: If you really want a treat, go take a peak at Arianna Huffington’s disgusting post entitled, “It Takes a Village to Smear Cindy Sheehan”. Huff The Magic Dragon is desperately in need of a good spanking for writing that drivel. CAUTION: may induce extreme anger in any human capable of rational thought.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing

- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
