Open Post to Cindy Sheehan

I posted this comment on the Huffington Post in response to a peice written by CIndy Sheehan. Last I knew it has been censored and is not visible at all in the comment section of the post. Just more proof that the leftists love freedom of speech until you challenge them.

Well I am posting here although I am fairly certain that the screeners will remove this as they have removed many other comments that challenge this Sheehan woman's ranting. I am a veteran of the Iraq war. I sympathize with this woman but it is clear she is being exploited by the media and the fringe left wackos that have surrounded her. Her message is diminished every time she makes an ignorant and outrageous comment like the one where she claimed that terrorism would end if we left Iraq and the Israelis left "Palestine". You got to be kidding me, no one is that stupid. Your hateful rhetoric only diminishes any argument you may have once had. You need to stop using your son's grave as a stump to further the goals of this leftist anti-war movement. Bush and the Jews did not kill your son you fool. Islamo-fascist terrorists killed your son. He died bravely fighting for his country just as he volunteered to do. This is not Vietnam and there is no draft. Every soldier serving does so bravely and freely. A vast majority of the soldiers fighting over there support the effort and realize the importance of their work. I know, I have been there and I stay in touch with those that continue to serve. Morale is high and the troops know victory will be ours. Whether you agree with the reasons for going or not it is clear that anything short of victory in Iraq will be a disaster for the United States. Honest dissent is fine as long as you are not actively seeking to undermine the troops. Unfortunately many of these fringe groups, like Code Pink, are actively undermining our troops and providing aid and comfort to our enemies. Code Pink has vandalized military recruiting stations, blocked them, and even harassed potential recruits and recruiters. This is the kind of nonsense that makes the anti-war movement lose all credibility and is very dangerous to the welfare of our nation. Demoralizing our country is not the way to help your cause. Many of you are out there hoping that we lose. That is un-American. That is not dissent. That's just irresponsible. You are dishonoring the memory of your son when you openly bash this country and our military. If you got a beef with our leaders then fine, but don't denegrate this nation and its finest citizens. Take a look in the mirror and then look at the people that have aligned themselves to your cause. Many of these are not good people. Get on with your life. Your son would not want you to make a mockery of his service and undermine his brothers-at-arms. He would want you to live your life and let go of your hatred. Hatred will only consume you and destroy all you hold dear. Do not spend your days trying to make other people's lives miserable. You need to support our troops, not undermine them. If you have issues with Bush, then you need to address them without hurting our servicemen and women. When the enemy sees this display of disunity from the American people it only serves to embolden them and make them think they can win if they just keep fighting a little harder. That gets Americans killed. Whether you agree that we should be there or not is irrelevant. We are there and we cannot leave and we cannot fail. We need to all pull our support behind the soldiers in harms way and root for the good guys. The title of your post here says "It's not about me, its about the war". Well ever since this ridiculous media circus began surrounding you and the PR people and left-wing nutcases began running your protest it has all been about you because you let it become that way. In many ways you are like a politician and you have handlers advising and directing you. At any rate it should never of been about the war anyway. At the most it should have been about your son. You need to start honoring his memory instead of exploiting it. I hope you will find peace in the knowledge that your son is a hero. I will pray that you can eventually find that peace and put this matter to rest. Know this; however, leaving Iraq will not do that for you. We can either fight them now or fight them in two years. I'd rather do it now because we have already made too much progress to cut and run simply because so many in this country lack the fortitude for war. God bless and always pray for peace.
