Democrats’ Policy: Pro-War Parents Of U.S. Casualties Must Not Be Heard
Reducing the war and American lives to literally nothing but political self-interest? No way, right? I mean, right? The Democrats wouldn’t really do that, would they? Is it possible that their entire position is nothing but a scam to get elected? No way, right? No one could stoop that low, right? Right?
Noticeably Absent From The MSM, or David Letterman, Or Keith “Hey I’m Just A Sportscaster, Don’t Expect Me To Have Brains” Olbermann, all of whom pitched the biggest Girl Fits if anyone didn’t give proper time, props and regard to Cindy “It’s All About Me” Sheehan:
Gold Star Dad Says Anti-War Dems ‘Too Busy’ to Meet Him

(CNSNews.com) - Leading Democratic proponents of setting a timetable for pulling troops out of Iraq have refused to meet with the father of a dead soldier who believes a withdrawal would mean his son’s life was “wasted.”
Army SSG Joshua Hager was wounded near Ramadi when an improvised explosive device blew up under his vehicle on Feb. 22, 2007. He died the next day from his injuries.
Hager’s father, Kris Hager, wants opponents of the war to rethink their position because he believes ending U.S. involvement would mean his son’s life was wasted there.
“How do I tell my grandson his father’s life was wasted by Congress?” Hager said in an email.
Hager told Cybercast News Service that information he’s received from his son’s commanders led him to believe the bomb that killed Joshua originated in Iran. He believes withdrawing troops from Iraq will weaken the United States’ ability to pressure Iran to stop supplying insurgent forces with weapons.
The U.S. military and President Bush have accused Iran of supplying money, weapons and ammunition to Iraqi insurgents, resulting in more sophisticated and deadly bombs. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has denied the allegations.
Hager has tried — without success — to schedule meetings or phone calls with some of the leading proponents of a military withdrawal, including Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania.
As Cybercast News Service previously reported, the U.S. House of Representatives on March 23 voted to pass a bill authorizing increased funding for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan while setting a September 2008 deadline for withdrawing troops.
A similar bill was passed in the Senate on March 29, and the two houses are now conferencing on the bill to iron out differences. Kerry, Murtha and Pelosi were among the bills’ supporters.
“Each of their offices said they were too busy to speak with me,” Hager said. The Florida resident’s own elected officials — Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, and Republicans Sen. Mel Martinez and Rep. Vern Buchanan — all spoke with him over the phone to express their sympathies.
A spokesman for Sen. Kerry said he does not have a policy on meeting with families of fallen soldiers. “However, Senator Kerry meets with families when he can and has talked with members from his home state and outside the state as well,” the spokesman said.
Spokesmen for Murtha and Pelosi did not respond to calls and e-mails requesting comment Wednesday.
Hager said he feels entitled to meet with prominent opponents of the war, even if he is not one of their constituents, because “they have taken a national stance.”
“They talk all the time about the people — 70 percent of the Americans want them to get us out. They’re not talking in the bounds of their constituency,” he said. “People like Murtha and Kerry who have traded on their military records, they owe me a chance to at least talk. I deserve that.”
“I’ve seen them embracing Cindy Sheehan,” Hager added, referring to the prominent anti-war activist whose son was killed in Iraq. “They make themselves accessible to people who agree with them. I think it’s a small enough club of fathers who have lost sons that I can get that access, at their convenience.”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Fuck John “two purple hearts cause I caught my dick in my zipper while in a combat zone for a week” Kerry and fuck John “I betrayed all my fellow Marines for a cush job sucking liberal dick” Murtha and fuck Nancy “the supreme leader of the politburo” Polosi. I hate that shit, they don’t even have the decency to give a grieving father the time of frickin’ day because he disagrees with them. Let it be known people that it’s only because they don’t have the ability yet that they don’t prosicute and jail those who decent from the party position. Guard your hearts and guard your minds….with really big guns. I wish there were a way that we could usurp control of the MSM. Maybe we should all get together and buy up a shit load of stock in one of these companies and take it over. If only I had an extra billion dollars laying around….

April 22nd, 2007 at 4:17 pmFuck ! Why did I come to the web site tonight? I just had the best time with my grandchildren, celebarting a birthday party for one of them come home and I read and see this shit. Excuse me while go barf up my birthday cake and ice cream..
April 22nd, 2007 at 4:26 pmAfter looking at the first pic again Pelosi looks pretty damn hot next to that Sleestack wanna be Sheehan..:eek:
April 22nd, 2007 at 5:10 pmSame ole shit, leftist biased media and their cronies.
April 22nd, 2007 at 6:56 pmAs much as we all know they are hanging themselves, it still frustrates the hell out of me to read this shit.
Yeah… we need that puking emoticon badly… I’m going to go see if I can find a file for it.

Here you go, Chad! Make it happen! (Please, if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, sir.)
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:00 pmI really hate these fuckers.
I don’t know what else to say…
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:24 pmSheehan peace house is at war…
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/06/peace.house.ap/index.html
This gives me wood! I love the following quote.
“Sheehan, whose name is listed on the 2005 franchise tax report as a Crawford Peace House board member, said Friday she has never been consulted about its financial matters and knew nothing about the current situation.”
Wow, the figure head of the organization doesn’t know what is going on with her constituents. That must maker her a non-caring ignorant elitist. How does it feel to be the top dog being called out, bitch?
The peace house fighting an internal war… there is no better irony.
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:38 pmSaid it before, I’ll say it, again. The democrats turned the efforts of 55,000 dead into an ‘all for naught’ by refusing to continue funding for the South after we lived up to all terms of the Paris Peace talks and withdrew thereby allowing for the North to launch their chinese communist blitzkreig and over run the South thereby also being responsible for the deaths of millions in the killing fields of Pol Pot and the millions of Vietnamese that voted with their feet by floating out to sea to become the Vietnamese Boat People. The democrats have rewritten history and would lead people to believe that we ‘chatted’ with the communists and that Reagan’s build up during the ’80’s was ‘all for naught’. Did the communists ‘take down the wall’ because Reagan chatted and said please or were they afraid Reagan would unleash the hounds? The democrats are again desperately trying to turn our efforts up until now another ‘all for naught’. If we fail in Iraq Iran will move right in after our departure just like the North rolled right into the South. Iran will have at its’ disposal the finances from both Iran’s and Iraq’s oil revenues. Those of us alive back then said to ourselves the democrats must be in bed with the communists. Some alive today see a deja vu all over again and wonder out loud if the democrats are in bed with the Islamofacists. If Kerry, Murtha, Sestak and Murphy being veterans qualifies them than I should be Secretary of Defense. Immadinnerjacket has said that all of us that will not hit the prayer rug five times a day will have to be killed. Hitler said similar things and it wasn’t until Eisenhower toured the death camps that the world said, ‘oh my God, he meant it’. Mein Kamph, my struggle, jihad, the struggle. They’re both reading from the same play book. The Jews have again been ‘chosen’ to be the canaries in the mine, I would like to keep my non-practicing Catholic head right where it is. Perhaps Bela Pelosi can talk them down to just half the Jews and perhaps she can toss in the Presbyterians and Methodists to sweeten the pot. Ten percent of Islam is said to be into Islamofacism. Ten percent of a little over a billion is one-hundred million. The population of Germany was maybe sixty million and the Nazi army may have had at its peak ten million. Look at how much damage they did before being defeated. Remember how many Germans they took with them. Islam makes up twenty percent of the world’s population. They had best round up their ten percent. The other eighty percent of the world is losing its’ patience. How many of Islam are going to have to be taken out to get to that ten percent of theirs that hides behind women and children?
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:41 pmWhat is Sheehan doing w/ Chavez???
Gosh I need to stop coming to this website…it’s depressing.
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:49 pmThe question is, “what is Chavez doing to Sheehan?”
Answer: THE MOTORBOAT!
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:56 pmHmmm….I think its time for that batman clip again, Rummy….
I think the shot of Chavez and Sheehan speaks volumes. That unclean bitch has been a communist whore since the 60s; she’s got a massive wet stain in her panties over being so close to one of its adherent leaders! She’d be sucking Castro’s dick, too, if it hadn’t fallen off.
April 23rd, 2007 at 6:24 amgmoney… perhaps you should adjust your glasses.
April 23rd, 2007 at 2:05 pmHahaha Castro. That’s a funny one. I’m just wondering why he’s not dead yet!!
April 23rd, 2007 at 2:06 pmPerhaps he takes some of that commu-ecstacy…
April 23rd, 2007 at 2:07 pmI wonder if she wonders why her ex-husband dumped her like a pair of feces-stained jeans?
April 23rd, 2007 at 2:30 pmPelosi and Reid are a national disgrace. Thanks to all of you who have served.
April 23rd, 2007 at 2:40 pmCool web site. It is good to see the truth.
