I'm just going to set my butt down on the ground if they tell me to go,
A kind gentleman from down the road offered us the use of his property.
I know how Cindy Sheehan feels. I'm a mother too.
That's too much to ask of anybody to adjust to that. But now, they have to adjust to the fact that their mom is always gone. But they know that they are sacrificing and we are sacrificing to bring the troops home and to make sure it never happens again.
If peace activists really want to make changes, they have to start putting intense pressure on their elected officials. Of course, everything should be non-violent, because we are trying to create a peaceful world, and violence can't produce peace - no matter what George W. Bush and his buddies say.
I really feel (Bush) needs to talk to this woman, ... Cindy has become a symbol.
I never said I speak for them, ... I speak for myself.
One of the things that pushed me over the edge was that people on the Left were calling me names. How many kicks in the teeth do you have to endure.
Thank you for being a bright spot in what is so-called Bush country.
They don't plan on ever bringing troops home,
This is where I belong, until Aug. 31, like I told the president.
That's why they don't talk about an exit strategy. They don't intend on exiting.
I'll be back as soon as possible but we'll keep you posted.
My issue is not Republican or Democrat, not right or left. It's right and wrong.
