I've said it before and I'll say it again: My heart goes out to Cindy Sheehan in her grief over the loss of her son Casey in Iraq. Most of us can't even imagine the overwhelming sorrow experienced at the death of your child for whatever reason. Children are supposed to bury their parents, not the other way around. I don't have to experience it myself personally to know that, unless it happens to you, there is no way you can possibly fathom the depth of the pain suffered by a parent who loses a child for whatever reason.

That being said, I thought that Sheehan's behavior this weekend was a little strange. I mean, who would purposely want to turn their son's death in the War on Terror into a media circus? (With the help of course of the slavishly anti-freedom for anyone but themselves liberal media.) Who would purposely turn the memory of their son into one of a contorted, screaming fit on a hot dusty Central Texas road in the middle of nowhere in which you irresponsibly accuse the president of the United States of "killing my son" as 50 like-minded leftists egg you on? How could you go from this barely a year ago:

"'I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis,' Cindy said after their meeting. 'I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith.'

"The meeting didn't last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the president to make her son's sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith.

"The trip had one benefit that none of the Sheehans expected.

"For a moment, life returned to the way it was before Casey died. They laughed, joked and bickered playfully as they briefly toured Seattle.

For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again.

"'That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together,' Cindy said."

To this just the other day:

"It was -- you know, there was a lot of things said. We wanted to use the time for him to know that he killed an indispensable part of our family and humanity. And we wanted him to look at the pictures of Casey.

"He wouldn't look at the pictures of Casey. He didn't even know Casey's name. He came in the room and the very first thing he said is, 'So who are we honoring here?' He didn't even know Casey's name. He didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to hear anything about Casey. He wouldn't even call him 'him' or 'he.' He called him 'your loved one.'

It all made sense when I discovered the Cindy Sheehan/Michael Moore connection.

I don't really know how much of a connection Sheehan has to Michael Moore -- just like her kind words for Bush at her FIRST meeting with him a year ago, you won't hear much about Cindy Sheehan's connection to Michael Moore in the liberal press. Most of them, like the New York Times on their editorial page today, are more interested in lauding Sheehan as some kind of anti-war martyr. When Bill O'Reilly mentioned the connection on his show tonight, I Googled Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore on Google News and came up empty. So I went to MichaelMoore.com and found that the majority of the home page was dedicated to Cindy Sheehan so I figure there must be a hell of a connection.

When I say "dedicated to Cindy Sheehan" I mean just that. There is not a mention of her brave son Casey anywhere on the page. There isn't a mention of ANY of the brave soldiers who have fought and died in Iraq and Afghanistan except for the liberal boast that one died used as anti-war propaganda. This whole protest and the shameless media engorgement with it has nothing at all to do with our brave soldiers and their sacrifice. It's all about Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore and the media and Moore's exploitation of Sheehan and her cause for their own selfish political interests: Get us out of the war at all costs and if possible, get George W. Bush run out of Washington on a rail.

Okay, all you self-indulgent slavish peacenick fools: Let's massage your egos and assume that we'll just do as you wish and pack up and run away with our tail between our legs. What then? Do we just sit cowering in our little corner of the world waiting for the enemy to bring the fight to us? And speaking of the fight, when DO we fight? Is the fact that 20 of the folks who are now flooding into Iraq to "destabilize" it killed 3,000 of our citizens on a crisp fall day four years ago not enough to fight for? In your feeble little socialist brains is there ANYTHING in this world that's worth fighting for, or should we just roll over and play dead in the name of not allowing George Bush to "kill" anymore of our sons and daughters?

And to Cindy Sheehan in particular: What cause does it advance to throw a temper tantrum in front of President Bush's ranch in Crawford? Does it make you feel better to accuse him of killing your son? Do you think this gigantic media circus honors the sacrifice of your brave son and the other 1800 who have given their lives for the cause of freedom? What effect do you think that this huge cathartic stink broadcast worldwide has on our enemy -- an enemy that has sworn to see us all dead? Do you really think it makes them LESS likely to keep up the fight against the "Great Satan"? Do you really think your actions make our troops on the front lines in the War on Terror SAFER? And finally, how does it feel to be a stooge for Michael Moore in his assault on patriotism and freedom?
