The Face of a Mother’s Grief
This is the face, the demeanor, the character of a woman who has known the greatest loss a mother can ever know ...
Ladies and Gentleman, I know the imagery of tremendous grief that follows the loss of a child is hard to look upon. This is how one mother has chosen to honor her child, her son ... a war hero who gave his life in the service of his country. A service he chose and took up himself gladly and bravely. This mother has taken his memory, and her loss, and used it to convey a message to the world. What is that message? That the people of the Middle East are not good enough to have freedom and democracy, that they deserve sadistic leaders that torture their citizens and wage war indiscriminately, that heros like her own son are nothing but dupes, that communism and socialism are better than democracy, that despots like Hugo Chavez are respectable ... this message is brought to you by the blood of her son, and heros like him that make it possible for idiots like Cindy Sheehan to loudly disrespect this country and all it stands for without being dragged off to a dank prison somewhere and tortured for the rest of their sorry lives. This is what Ann Coulter was talking about ... disgusting people who enjoy the death of a loved one, who use the pretense of grief to shout their message to the world, one that is usually anti-American, and claim some kind of moral authority and superiority shields them from those who dispute their views.
Cindy Sheehan in no way, shape or form deserves the title "mother" ... she brings shame to all mothers everywhere. With, perhaps, the exception of the moms of Splodydopes that celebrate their offspring murdering innocents.
