Follow the yellow brick road

Well, today I am going to Crawford, TX to a "Support the Troops" rally being held there. They are expecting over 10,000 people to show up. Even though I don't agree with a lot that the President has done lately, especially regarding the Israel disengagement plan (more on that later and why I believe it's a bad idea), I still support him b/c he is the President, but this is not about him today. It is about counteracting the nutcase, anti-war protester, Cindy Sheehan. She crossed the line from another anti-war protester looking for her 15 minutes of fame, which is WAY past up, to nutcase when she said that she was "channeling" her dead son and has the support of tens of thousands of angels and Casey's fellow fallen soldiers backing her up in her protest as well as saying that at 1 week old, Casey could already read her mind.

To clarify, I don't believe that she is a nutcase for protesting the war, she has that right, she is, however, becoming a crackpot b/c she is starting to be delusionary and a little bit on the "fringe" of normal b/c she is talking about "channeling" her dead son and his fallen brothers-in-arms and trying to speak for them post-mortem by saying that they have given her messages and spoken to her.

The fact that you have to resort to calling this poor woman a nutcase shows just how desperate the Cult of Bush has become. The woman's son died because of Bush's lies, and she has every right to speak out against him without being called a nutcase. IMO, you'd have to be a nutcase to support Bush.

Sorry, but this lady is a basket case, that regardless what you think about our president. I am not a big fan of Bush and his policies but I have to say this lady and her comments are just out there.

Yeah Nic, they all lose me when they start to talk about 'things from the beyond'...

I would, and did, defend her right to protest and voice her opinion... but in all candor, she'd better serve her son's memory (and his life) by honoring his selfless service to his country.

Oh... I see you turned on 'word verification' ... how's that working out?

My schizophrenic mother-in-law sound saner than that!!
I think she just ran out of arguments to justify her behavior and resorted to the paranormal.

I think the fact that she knows her son would disapprove has caused her to crack up. IMO, it is disrespectful to her son's memory to act the way she is acting.
