In any case, I can’t say I feel too motivated to write any books after looking at that picture O.o

Although I’m sure you wouldn’t recognize moral courage if it ran you over in the street while you were staggering drunk, I think you are mistaken when you confuse Cindy’s emotional bereavement [however overacted] over the loss of her son with Jeff’s rational discussion of his observations of Life in Korea.

Neither one is based on moral courage. One is an emotional appeal to end a war because people are getting hurt, while the other is something along the lines of “This is what I observed here today, and this is how it affected me.”

The “fact” that neither one cares who reads or listens to them is not courage, it’s called apathy.

Courage is what the rest of us display when we read and respond to your constant stream of meaningless drivel.

I like to visit Jeffry’s site as a gesture of pity … I would do the same for Cindy Sheehan.

Then, after a Google search, I found this just a few minutes ago.

Upshot: she got signatures, but had only about 100 copies of her book to sign. The infamous photo and its caption can be interpreted as meaning she didn’t get any takers, but if we take the word of the people in the article, some folks did show up.

Having said that, I think we have to put her book signing in perspective: she’s no JK Rowling. A hundred books ain’t diddly, and all she did was bumble into a photo opportunity that didn’t work in her favor.

Next step in the book signing affair: accusing the media of blanket conservative bias.

I think that photo says it all.

And not amoment too soon either. God, she has taken this grieving mother act way too far. Her son is probably rolling in his grave. He was a proud soldier once.

Whether or not you support the war in Iraq, this lady has burned too many bridges and crossed too many lines to speak on any parent’s behalf anymore.

There are at least 2,443 other parents out there [including Pat Tillman’s] who seem to accept their terrible losses much less absurdly; maturely even, perhaps sometimes even proudly, proud to have laid such an enormous sacrifice on the altar of freedom.

These kids died doing their duty, a duty they chose, an honorable mission to bring freedom to millions of people who have known nothing other than tyranny for generation after generation.

Death is sad, and tragic, and painful, and horrible, but not nearly as ugly as Cindy’s ungrateful and spiteful mocking of her son’s sacrifice, and her mocking of the freedom’s that sacrifice and so many others like it assure to us and millions of others around the world every day.

She should crawl into a hole with Michael Moore and just disappear.

There, I finally spoke my mind on this issue for the first time. My thoughts are mere blog notes, not a developed thesis so they lack clarity and depth, but feel free to flame away anyway.

And thaks for reading this far.
