Ask Any Journalist
Let's do an agenda check. The next time you talk to a journalist, ask if they know who Cindy Sheehan is. Then ask if they know who Paul R. Smith is.
Hint: One is a patriot, the other is a traitor.
Thank a veteran today for America's freedom. Thank God for America's veterans." www.jeffgannon.com




Okay, first thing you must know is that our esteemed Mr. Guckert thinks that he is a journalist. A bitch for Talon News does NOT make you a journalist, nor does being a blogger.
Paul R. Smith:
Army Sgt. 1st Class Paul R. Smith posthumously became the first soldier in the Iraq war awarded the Medal of Honor, America's highest military award, given in recognition of extreme valor in combat. (www.newsmax.com)
Cindy Sheehan:
Cindy Lee Miller Sheehan (born July 10, 1957, is a resident of Berkeley, California who became a prominent Iraq War activist after the death of her son, Casey Sheehan during his service in Iraq. She attracted international attention in August 2005 for her extended demonstration at a Peace camp outside President of the United States George W. Bush's Texas ranch. She is sometimes referred to by the media as the "Peace Mom".
Traitor:
n.
One who betrays one's country, a cause, or a trust, especially one who commits treason.
Treason:
n.
Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
A betrayal of trust or confidence.
Patriot:
n.
One who loves, supports, and defends one's country.

Well, since Ms. Sheehan does not fit into the "traitor" category, and neither does Mr. Smith, I would have to say they are both patriots. Only Ms. Sheehan, she doesn't appreciate the fact her son died for this unsubstantiated war, and had the guts to question President Bush. Now, seems Ms. Sheehan was right. This is an unsubstantiated war. Mr. Bush is overstepping his authority more than once and is abusing his powers as the POTUS.
Gannon/ Guckert seems to postulate that Ms. Sheehan's sacrifice for her country measures far less than Mr. Smith's . I think Ms. Sheehan, would argue that.
Lately, it seems that if you are Pro-Peace and against this Administration's war-for-nothing, you are a traitor to your country. Isn't it more patriotic to love your country so much that you would want it's leaders to be honest and proud men/women? Isn't it more patriotic to support your troops that are in harm's way by wanting them to come home from these numerous tours of duty? Isn't it patriotic to hold your country's leadership accountable for their actions that call into question their motives? Isn't it patriotic to uphold The Constitution of the United States instead of ripping it apart to fit into a Right-winged Agenda? I find these people who don't question the POTUS and aren't absolutely outraged by this administration's lawlessness, and blatant disregard for the TRUTH.... those people are ignorant, stupid, and in-the-way of their nations progress.
If you can't see past the W-04 sticker on the back of your Lexus and recognize that this country is under the leadership of the most corrupt and inept administration in history...then drive it into a river with your seat belt firmly attached. You aren't needed and frankly you are mucking up the works.
Republicans are more loyal to their PARTY than they are their COUNTRY. Traitors? No...not yet....but fanatical, blind, clueless, dumbasses...YES.
