Via TalkLeft comes another example of compassionate conservatism. The pro-Bush demonstrators have arrived in Crawford, Texas. Reports are they had their own special chant for Cindy Sheehan as she depart Crawford to go to the side of her ailing mother:
"We don’t care."
Another fine example of W’s America. Kinda sums up this administration perfectly.
hahaa, I agree.
Regardless of people’s views that Ms Sheehan has a political agenda, i am in awe of how low the hard right will sink to make a point. At the core of the issue is theat the woman lost her son and seeks an explanation/understanding of why she had to make such a sacrifice and why her son, the ultimate sacrifice. In the face of George Bush losing the battle of credibility and no longer being regarded as a straight shooter, he owes it, not just to Ms Sheehan and the American public but to the entiore world to explain the validity of this war. It is obviously not to centalize the war on terror elsewhere cos London has taught us that the fight can still be brought to our shores. To minimize her scarifice and make comments like “we all lose something and she should get over it” is absolutely disgusting and counters the argument they try to make that our focus should be on suporting the troops. As a final note, I am quite disappointed that the news that the state department sent a memo of concrn that there were gaping holes in the postwar planning, prior to declaring war, is being grossly under reported and investigated. How are we to ensure that such a quagmire is not repeated.
Speaking of ‘compassionate conservatism’, look what I just discovered Poll: Buyers’ Remorse – 19 out 31 Red States Flip to Blue at “Pensito Review” dated Aug. 17/05. Is that a light beaconing from the right?
Hurray for Cindy, Joan and brilliant bloggers like you T. Yes, that hope you just heard in my voice is true. Write on T. Hey, if I didn’t know your name was Terrance I could swear the T stood for ‘Truth!’
