House of Eratosthenes

Ah…finally we have a bumper-sticker slogan for the Democrats this year. Quoth anti-war protester and bereaved war mom Cindy Sheehan, about the five acres she purchased seven miles away from President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, TX.

“We decided to buy property in Crawford to use until George’s resignation or impeachment, which we all hope is soon for the sake of the world,” Sheehan said in a newsletter set to be sent to supporters Thursday. “I can’t think of a better way to use Casey’s insurance money than for peace, and I am sure that Casey approves.” [emphasis mine]

Casey approves, his mom said so. Let’s have a national debate about this. Examine what Casey Sheehan did in his last two or three years on the planet, and from that speculate whether or not he’d approve of what his mom is doing. Let every man, woman and child make up his or her own mind, between his or her left ear, and his or her right ear. Let those who decide, in contradiction to what Democrats want everybody to believe, face the full wrath of left-wing moonbats everywhere, in full view of everybody. Let the continent be covered with Sheehan fans flinging their spittle and their bumptious rhetoric beginning with those three magic words, “how dare you,” emphasis on the second syllable, over and over again. I can’t wait for that to start.

I think it would be great truth-in-advertising. You vote for Democrats, you don’t vote for a policy, what you vote for is a way of thinking. So I say, let everyone see it, right before they go vote. Make it obvious that according to Democrats, you can decide what you want about what Casey Sheehan’s wishes would be, the same way as according to Henry Ford you could have whatever color car you wanted. Show that to everybody, then let’s open the polls.

Interestingly, some news editors don’t think it’s a good idea to carry that last little snippet. Can’t imagine why.

Actually, this sounds like a job for the GOP. As they proved with the Terri Schiavo case, there’s no family affair that’s too personal or private to be exploited by social conservatives.

If memory serves, both sides of the Schiavo case dug up some reasons why Terri would want them to do what they were doing.

Any reason, whatsoever, to suppose Casey would want his mom to be doing what she’s doing? Other than his mom says so? State the case.

No reason whatsoever to supppose Sheehan, fils, would approve. He returned to Iraq voluntarily, twice, for goodness sake. Even the most vitriolic anti-militarists have never asserted that anyone is forced to re-up once, let alone twice. I would feel I was betraying my son to do what Sheehan is doing.
