Cindy Sheehan: Iraq, And The Conservative Bias

from The Gooch

My compadre, on The Hawg Pen, Reg-E recently blogged about Cindy Sheehan, and her run for Speaker Nancy Pelosi's seat in Congress.

He explained that her only issue is the war, and that that isn't reason enough to vote for her.

Cindy Sheehan is one of the founders of Gold Star Families for Peace (along with her husband), and like Reg-E, I think she has every right to protest the war.

I do disagree, however, with Reg's assertion that she has nothing to offer.

She will stand up to end the war. She is running against the speaker of the house, who came to this position because of the American people's disdain with the civilian leadership on the war.

Reg-E is quick to point out that the congress has lower approval ratings than President Bush. This is because of the war. Let's not forget what area Speaker Pelosi represents. I'm sure they aren't happy with her handling of the war issue, since she's come into power.

What has congress really offered as far as meaningful legislation regarding immigration, social security, or education? Not a damn thing.

But the Republican Party would rather us talk about how she's a nut. She's been right about the war from day one, as far as it being a mistake.

Cindy Sheehan may be a nut. I've never met her. But I applaud her determination to get her message out.

I have been disappointed with the Pelosi administration and I hope Cindy Sheehan wins. I'm for sending a message to the "Peace Party" that its time for some freaking peace.

That way, the Republicans could make her higher on the list of people to talk about to distract us from what's going on (never mind that most of America agrees with her on the war issue). She won't be up there with Hilary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore or Michael Moore. But she'll get just enough attention from fox news so that they don't have to report the news.

The Republican Party picked Cindy Sheehan to be the poster child for the anti-war movement. Now its once again time to deal with the consequences.

Cindy Sheehan: Its All About The Iraq War

Reg-E on Cindy Sheehan & Other Topics

Last week I was called to task because I referred to Ms. Cindy Sheehan as a nut. It appears that I was overlooking her "issues" and I want to clarify my position. I started by looking Ms. Sheehan up on Wikipedia and it appears that she list her occupation as an Activist and her main issue is the war in Iraq.

It is well documented that Ms. Sheehan's son, Casey Sheehan, was killed while serving in Iraq. Ms. Sheehan is certainly justified in her opposition to the war and to exercise her rights to lawfully oppose the war given the loss of her son.

During the show last week this was the only issue that was identified but my research revealed the following "Issues." First it seems that Ms. Sheehan was voicing her opinion in opposition to George Bush's first election victory over Mr. Gobal Warming in 2000. It seems to me that Ms. Sheehan's hatred of President Bush started well before the Iraq war. The second issue I could find was that she had made appearances at a recent protest at Kent State. Number three was her crusade was her opposition to the recent decision by President Bush with regards to Scooter Libby. Finally, Ms. Sheehan is at odds with Nancy Pelosi because she has not filed articles of impeachment against President Bush.

It would appear that Ms. Sheehan has absolutely nothing to offer this country in the political arena with regards to the pressing issues such as immirgration; social security; and education. Ms. Sheehan would prefer to expend her political capital and time going after trivial issues because she does not like George Bush and this dislike goes back before the decision to invade Iraq.

Ms. Sheehan is a throwback to the 1960's anti-war, anti-America; and it's all about me generation. I ask again what does Ms. Sheehan have to offer this country---NOTHING. After evaluating my prior statement I have conclued that Ms. Sheehan is a nut and should be ignored.

Finally, I would to point that Ms. Plame's lawsuit was thrown out this week. I guess Ms. Plame could not prove that she was the great super spy she and her husband proclaimed her to be. I will reserve comment on the Plame Out of her lawsuit for another day.

The Hawg Pen will be visiting with T Lee Horne (L)who is campaigning for Governor of Louisiana, on our next show, which is this Saturday @ 10:00a.m. (Eastern Standard Time).

T Lee Horne is probably most famous for his organization of national Libertarian support for private relief after Katrina in 2005, and has been actively campaigning for the seat since 2003.

Sounds like he's taking it pretty seriously to me.

Of course we'll discuss Katrina, and how he'd handle the situation, and what he's preparing to do if he's elected Governor. I look forward to what he has say.

I'm sure that neither the Democrats or Republicans want to hear the 3rd side of this story, considering how well it worked.

So listen Saturday morning. You just may learn something

Cheech and Chong could solve the immigration problem, but our government can't

To me, this whole immigration situation is simple. We can solve this with the implementation of less than 3 laws, and it would solve most other issues facing America's social plight as well.

1) Legalize drugs
2) open up "legal" immigration for all who want to come here.

I know, that doesn't make a lot of sense, on the surface. But look deeper. Lets talk about why illegal immigrants are here. They are either here for work, or to sell and/or distribute drugs. The argument against open borders always seems to be "but the drug dealers would have an easier time getting drugs into the country".

Well if drugs were legal, there would be no need in sneaking them across the border. If we legalized drugs, we'd take away Mexico's #1 export, and the Mexican Cartel, er uh Government would have to work for the people, instead of the drug lords for a change. Mexico is our last best chance at really solving the illegal immigration issue. They will ultimately solve this issue, not us.

If we'd legalize drugs we'd also solve many of the gang problems our nation faces. Sure there would still be gangs, but who pays attention to anyone who doesn't have money? Ask Ron Paul that question, and see what he says! It would transform low-income areas, and put people back to work. Maybe we wouldn't need so many illegal immigrants, if the illegal drug dealers had to get a job.

Oh yeah, and we'd give our family farms a figurative heroine buzz, because they'd gain several cash crops to support their business.

Then, if we'd open up the borders to people who wanted to get jobs, the only people sneaking across would be up to no good. We wouldn't have to guess whether they were just here to make a better life?

Of course, then we'd have to vote in an administration who was willing to enforce the laws, but that's another topic for another day

Sgt. Hulka on Palestine

We know Palestine wasn't blog of the week. But a friend of the Pen, Sgt Hulka has a stance, and we want to post his thoughts on the subject. Sgt Hulka keeps it short and sweet:

It's Biblical, all about a bowl of soup and a birth right! There will be no settlement until the final battle, and I know who wins that one! Nothing man can do will work this out. There will be wars and threats of wars.

We're going to re-attack the immigration bill for blog of the week again this week. If you have any thoughts, comment on the previous blogs, or email us your blog to post.
