Lincoln and a Mother's Grief !

I have resisted talking about politics for the last few months. I think I have been "burned out" by the election in November. Bush won what else needs to be said. He has four more years and the liberals don't control the Presidency, nor Congress, they only have control of the Main Stream Media and I don't' have to watch them anymore to get my news. There is Fox News, the internet and of course talk radio.. Sure, Democrats/liberals can delay and obstruct but we will ultimately prevail ( ie the Bolton recess appointment. He Is our UN ambassador and I hope he kicks some ** over there). However, the Cindy Sheehan story has gotten under my skin. This is the mother who lost her son in Iraq and is camping out next to Bush's home in Texas. Wesley Pruden has written a column www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/pruden081205.asp on the subject and describes another mother who was angry at a President for the death of two of her sons. That President was Abraham Lincoln and the war was the Civil War. She was so angry she tore up Lincoln's eloquent letter of condolence. Lincoln would not be deterred from saving the Union and ending slavery and we will not be deterred from fighting terrorism. The Main Stream Media is attempting to use this poor woman for their anti Bush anti War agenda. Casey Sheehan's relatives released a statement yesterday ( you would never know it from watching or reading the Main Stream Media) in which they said they are" silently respectfully grieving" the loss of Casey Sheehan. They go on to say they disagree with his mother. They state: "We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan family supports the troops, our country and our president" So do I. The person who is lost in all of this is Casey Sheehan, regardless of his mother, nothing can damage or tarnish the good name he earned in the service and sacrifice for his country.
