Which Way To The War Protest?

Cindy Sheehan replied to Byron York's column which asked, what happened to the anti-war movement? 

I read your column about the "anti-war" movement and I can't believe I am saying this, but I mostly agree with you.

The "anti-war" "left" was used by the Democratic Party. I like to call it the "anti-Republican War" movement.

While I agree with you about the hypocrisy of such sites as the DailyKos, I have known for a long time that the Democrats are equally responsible with the Republicans. That's why I left the party in May 2007 and that's why I ran for Congress against Nancy Pelosi in 2008.

I have my own radio show, "Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox," and I was out on a four-month book tour promoting the fact that it's not about Democrats or Republicans, but it's about the system.

Even if I am surrounded by a thousand, or no one, I am still working for peace.

Sincerely,

Cindy Sheehan

Anti-war rage, it turns out, is useful only for gaining power.  With Obama installed, a committed leftist, there is no need for it any more.  Let the fighting go on.

If Cindy Sheehan had a problem with war, she'd be more angry at those who launched this round -- the Muslim terror networks -- than at either the Democrats or the Republicans. Cindy Sheehan seems to be simply an anti-American surrender monkey.

I think Cindy is crazy from grief, having lost her son. I can't begin to imagine the pain she's gone through. It would make more sense to me if she would channel her rage in the direction of al Qaeda and their allies, but for whatever reason she can't seem to do it. I have to admire her for sticking to her message.

For the rest of the lefties out there, being against the war, or being for or against anything, is only a pose. Useful as a means of gaining power, to be dropped when no longer needed. It's always been that way
