Cindy Sheehan Moves to Crawford, Locals Not Amused — (07/28/2006)
Crawford- Anti-War Activist Cindy Sheehan is going to become a neighbor of President Bush, and local residents are not happy about the mess.
On the Gold Star Families For Peace website, Sheehan explained how Central Texas had grown on her. She now wants a permanent place where she and fellow protestors can go to demonstrate against President Bush.
Peace Supporter, Gerry Fonseca, says he purchased the 5-acre parcel, which cost more than $52,000. It was bought with the money frome her son, Casey's, life insurance policy.
"I doubt they would have sold her the property if she tried to buy it herself," said Foncseca.
"I feel deceived," said Celia Ramsey, who sold the land to Cindy Sheehan through a third party. She talked to News Channel 25 exclusively on the matter. "I would have never sold it to Sheehan. Nobody wants them here."
The Ramsey's claim Fonseca told them he was an evacuee from Hurricane Katrina.
Fonseca told News Channel 25 he "apologized to the Ramsey's for the inconvenience, but we (Gold Star Families For Peace) are going to do everything in our power to not disturb them."
Ramsey told News Channel 25, she plans on talking to a lawyer over the matter.
"I am very sad it came to this point where we had to buy a permanent home," said Sheehan. "I thought President Bush would have resigned by now. But I am happy about a permanent home in Crawford."
Anti-war protesters are scheduled to gather on the Sheehan property in August, when the president vacations in Crawford for the first couple of weeks next month.
Last fall, McLennan County Commissioners passed an ordinance, banning parking on roadways and other traffic and crowd control measures.
A lawsuit has been filed over the matter by Cindy Sheehan and fellow protestors, alleging the ruling by county commissioners violates their First Amendment rights.

Well we know now that there is at least one good citizen who resides in Crawford...Cindy Sheehan...her son wasn't a chickenhawk, like shrubya and his gang of neocon chickenshit chickenhawks...and I think it's safe to assume that she won't be wiping her ass with the Bill Of Rights, like the chimp-in-chief and his gang of war-profiteering cowards...

The cry of ``chicken hawk" is dishonest for another reason: It is never aimed at those who oppose military action. But there is no difference, in terms of the background and judgment required, between deciding to go to war and deciding not to. If only those who served in uniform during wartime have the moral standing and experience to back a war, then only they have the moral standing and experience to oppose a war. Those who mock the views of ``chicken hawks" ought to be just as dismissive of ``chicken doves."
People who toss around that slur mindlessly endorse the idea of military autocracy over a broad representative democracy. Only in juntas do we see societies where military experience is a prerequisite in determining the policies of a nation. The same people who sling this insult are the first to turn around and call their political opponents "fascists", exposing an intellectual shallowness that colors the rest of their writings.

Read your own Constitution numb-nuts.

Oh and could you please explain to me (numb-nuts, remember) the phrase "Bill Clinton dodged the draft, disappeared behind the iron curtain, and made war on Christian Serbs." I am particularly interested in the iron-curtain reference and the reference to making war on 'Christian Serbs'. By this, are you referring to Slobodan Milosevic and his firends?

Ongoing debate? Perhaps the ongoing debate that White_Pinhead_Chickenhawk and his ilk need to be concerned with is the debate between themselves and their own hypocrisy...
As the learned and lovely Ms. Starr put it...
