I wonder how many people still agree with her
Casey Sheehan’s mom (who FINALLY allowed the remainder of her terminally-embarrassed family to put a headstone on Casey’s grave) has finally let slip what she really thinks about the military.
Support the troops? I support only those who are NOT supporting the exploitation of the Iraqi people, and those who do not allow the war profiteers to carry on with their death and destruction all for the sake of an opulent lifestyle. I do not support those who are supporting a criminally insane and treacherous foreign policy. However I, as the mother of a slain soldier, will do anything I can to support all of them by working to shorten their stay in an unwelcoming country, and bring them home from the quagmire that their so- called commander in chief forced them into.

If you live here in California
Or any other state that has elections tomorrow, please go out and vote, if you haven’t already done so by absentee. It is one of the three things every American citizen should do who is physically able to - serve in the military (or equivalent civil service, such as police, fire, etc.), serve on a jury whenever asked, and vote in every election. All those Rights you get have a cost - they are called Responsibilities, and serving your fellow citizen whenever asked is the primary one.
I don’t care what your cause, what your motivating beliefs, whatever. The sovereign franchise and the juror’s ballot is the one power you have over the governmental machine, and your beliefs are added to the Great Melting Pot, and if enough of your neighbors agree with you, you will be setting the agenda for everyone in that courtroom, district, precinct, city, county, state and even the nation.
It all counts, so go out and vote.
This has been a free Public Service Announcement on behalf of Patriots everywhere.
Great Patriot’s Journey post by Scott
Scott has a great - and I mean that in every sense - Patriot’s Journey post up today. Go read it all.
I’m not even going to try and entice you with a snippet, because it includes pictures and deserves to be read in its entirety.
Not to mention he’s a Blue Star Dad (has his daughter serving in Iraq, IIRC). One hell of a good blogger, too.
