If They Wanna Die For A Lie ...

Bush is able to rationalize his ignoring and bashing of Cindy Sheehan because the families he talks to don't feel the same way she does. He neglects to mention, however, that he only speaks to crowds of people who support him and the war effort. Cindy Sheehan supported him until his lies became neon signs.

Speaking in Idaho a few minutes ago, Bush argued that moms like Cindy Sheehan are a threat to freedom:

There are few things more difficult in life than seeing a loved one go off to war, and here in Idaho, a mom named Tammy Pruitt…knows that feeling six times over.

Tammy has four sons serving in Iraq right now with the Idaho National Guard — Eric, Evan, Greg, and Jeff. Last year, her husband Leon and another son Aaron returned from Iraq where they helped train Iraqi firefighters in Mosul.

Tammy says this — and I want you to hear this — “I know that if something happens to one of the boys, they would leave this world doing what they believe, what they think is right for our country. And I guess you couldn’t ask for a better way of life than giving it for something you believe in.”

America lives in freedom because of families like the Pruitts.

Notice that nary a one of his children, his siblings' children or his cohorts' children are in Iraq. This woman hasn't lost a family member - to date - but at the rate that we are going "staying the course," it's not too far fetched to say that she might.
