Cindy Sheehan quits the anti-war movement

Maybe one day she will realize that she was a tool of the left to attack the Republicans:

I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my protests to George Bush and the Republican Party. Of course, I was slandered and libeled by the right as a “tool” of the Democratic Party. This label was to marginalize me and my message. How could a woman have an original thought, or be working outside of our “two-party” system?

However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the “left” started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used…

The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing…

I am going to take whatever I have left and go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost. I will try to maintain and nurture some very positive relationships that I have found in the journey that I was forced into when Casey died and try to repair some of the ones that have fallen apart since I began this single-minded crusade to try and change a paradigm that is now, I am afraid, carved in immovable, unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble…

This is my resignation letter as the “face” of the American anti-war movement. This is not my “Checkers” moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.

Good-bye America …you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.

Something she should have been doing and its nice to know she hasn't....

I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A.

Perhaps she should try living in Iran and see how far she gets with her voice.

I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.

In other words she can't milk her son's death anymore.

This woman is nothing more then a charlatan and opportunist. She is everything this country is against. I hope she packs her bags and moves north or south of the boarder, or steps in front of a Mack Truck, either will suit me just fine.
