In some ways, I take her comment that "It's up to you America," seriously. As an independent (1 of 42% of the electorate, never mind those who have become disgusted and don't vote), we need to take serious the kind of grassroots building of a movement that it will take for us to be able to have any kind of impact on the American corruption that she describes. I also thought that what she had to say about the failure of the Democratic Party to be a real opposition party, including the hypocrisy of the "peace" movement needs to be looked at.

People like her and the liberal asswipes don't or can't grasp what the reason for fighting these people ,the Alquida and Muslams in general have no qualms about killing them or their children for their cause.I personally have no use or pitty for these people. I have had occasion to be confonted by these lowlives when I came home from Vietnam,and had I had a weapon I would have given them the same treatment that I gave the gooks that shot the hell out of me. I hope that Sheehan is one of the first to run into a suicide bomber in a mall some where, along with the likes of Murtha,Pelsi,Kennedy and all of the liberal jokes that serve in the congress and senate.

I have nothing but admiration for Cindy Sheehan and what she accomplished. Change can't happen when there is complacency. Cindy challenged our laziness and acceptance that we have no power. I would encourage her not to quit but that's easy for me to do from the comfort of my living room and causes me to wonder where my power and conviction are. My heart breaks with every soldier's death. Having lost a son I know the pain; having sent a son to Iraq twice, I've lived with the fear and life is never as secure again. Somehow we have to find the way to take back our country and make it a place we're proud to call America.

There is no difference between either republican's or democrat's, both work for their masters, the CFR (Council on Foreign Relation's) and the Federal Reserve System. The United States of America most Americans were born and raised in no longer exist, and hasn‘t for decades. The Constitution and America's most precious Bill of Rights, went down the drain with the passing of the Patriot Act. Habeus Corpus, the very foundation of juris prudence, was destroyed with the Military Act of 2006. Constitutional law was suborned with NAFTA and CAFTA, subjecting America to Communitarian law, a legal system that most American attorneys have never even heard of, much less practice. Are we all really that stupid? We stand by while the Congress goes through the motions of debating an amnesty for illegal immigrants when in fact, the borders were removed when this treasonous President signed the North American Common Agreement. We are now part of the One-World-Order people, we are no longer “American’s and we no longer have rights. What was once the United States of America no longer exist, except perhaps in our minds. Even the U.S. military fights under international banners and wear an international patch. In 1963 John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, speaking before the graduating class at Columbia University stated; “The high office of President in being used to foment a plan to destroy Americans freedom and before I leave office I must make citizens aware of their plight.” Unfortunately he was never given that opportunity as he was assassinated just 10 days later. Now if you find all of this to unbelievable or upsetting to pay attention, well go to the frig, get yourself another beer and sit your ass back down in front of the idiot box, I am sure when this administration needs more of your kids to be used as war fodder, they will know where to find you. When in God’s name, is someone in authority going to take the imitative and tell the truth for exactly what it is, the “TRUTH.”

No surprise. She has succumbed to the pressures associated with trying to compensate for the loss of a child she can never bring back. She has tilted the windmill, fought the good fight and in the end realized that there is no salvation, no change, no reawakening, only more of the same. The Democrats have shown themselves to be no better than those they should castigate. Big business still rules and no Democrat has put their career on the line to express what apparently two thirds of the country wants to hear. A two party system will never give voice to those who would otherwise speak if they had the price of admission. We are condemned to embrace some variation of what two compromised groups, beholden to the same interests, choose to put before us. We have moved from the populist traditions that were once the bulwark of the Democratic Party. RFK Jr. was the last candidate from that party to expouse the principles of equality, dignity and justice for the common man. The middle class is now faced with a fight for its survival at the expense of the working poor, as choreographed by the corporate elite. Maybe John Edwards' strategy will somehow strike a chord with those who are otherwise preoccupied with the 'relevant' topics fed them by the mainstream press. He seems to be the only candidate who has taken a road that, while less travelled, has everything to do with our survival as a society. Cindy is suffering what one observer termed ‘burnout’.
