She is a good and decent human being who works hard to make things better for others despite having to sacrifice much. We need more people like her. Maybe then this country wouldn't be such a hypocritical laughingstock in the eyes of the rest of the World. Cindy DOES still have her fans.

I look forward to a future declaration that Ron Paul would be willing to endorse. I would love to see Cindy Sheehan, Cynthia McKinney and Ron Paul get together on the topic of restoring Due Process and eliminating US government operated gulags (both named and unnamed).

The "peace" mom can already say that she has visited Egypt in 2008 as well. No surprise that she only received 17 percent of the vote in San Francisco. She only wanted to go to Congress to have the excuse to visit other places in the world and have the taxpayers cover the expenses. For somebody who plans to run again in San Francisco two years from now, she should be spending more time in the City by the Bay, especially when she lost by 54 percent. She claimed to be the voice for those living in poverty, yet she can sure put a passport to use. Most of the poor folk in San Francisco are lucky to take a weekend drive to Tahoe. She bashes the corporate media one minute, and the next minute she gets a radio program in the Bay Area lined up for January 2009 on Green 960 AM. Oh yeah, did I mention the station is owned by Clear Channel? Cindy, this never was about your brave son, this has been about you all along. Your son, Casey, is a true hero. Shame on you for disgracing his memory for selfish purposes. God bless all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, like Casey, and all the troops who still serve today.

Yeah, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights sounds all nice and pretty until you get to Article 29, Section 3:

“These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.”
