Venom spewing false "prophet"

I've held my patient silence on this ragdoll long enough... However, certain duped peacenik clergy -- including radical prelates within our own autocephalous church movement (mostly liberal Old Catholics) -- have recently bestowed an undeserved ''absolute moral authority" upon a fanatical conspiracy-mongering demagogue (liberal New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd first conferred it upon her: "Why No Tea And Sympathy?" Aug. 10, 2005, Sec. A , Pg. 21 , Col. 6, "....moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute... )

Unless they endow ALL mothers who have lost sons in this noble cause, then they are moral cretins to do so. Cindy Sheehan had her five minutes in the spotlight. Now it's time to be merciful to all concerned. Let this sad opportunist who spits out nothing but invective diatribes be tossed aside like yesterday's newspaper - then let us pray for her.

Three weeks ago, more than 1,000 people filled the Cathedral ("Circus" - come see the elephants there on the Feast of St. Francis tomorrow - ed.) Church of St. John the Divine here in New York City on September 19, 2005, to hear the 48-year-old California anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan and supporters on the "Bring Them Home Now Tour" rally support for a three-day march and anti-war protest in Washington, DC, last Sept. 24-26.

In his welcoming address, the Very Rev. Dr. James A. Kowalski, dean of the Cathedral, received applause when he likened this tool of Islamo-fascist terrorists, Cindy Sheehan, to a "prophet." "....In the Bible there are stories about seemingly unimportant, insignificant, seemingly powerless people who out of nowhere landed in the kingdom where the king was out of control and emerged as a prophet and said to the king you have lied to your people and led them astray and Cindy Sheehan is one of those prophets," he also said. "It's an honor to have you here," Canon Kowalski told the crowd. "A lot of people told us not to do this, not as a church especially" which didn't "make any sense to us, especially this Cathedral." (but of course not -- ed.) However, he added, "a lot of things haven't been making any sense to us."

Thankfully, that very same day, while ending her boisterous and seditious remarks via loudspeaker at a rally in NYC Union Square, our NYPD shut her up for disruptive "provocation" and "not obtaining a sound permit" in a public park - which did not violate anybody's 1st Amendment Constitutional rights since NYC ordinance requires this. Most likely her local organizer, Paul Zulkowitz, deliberately didn't get one in hopes that it would foment an ugly "political prisoner" photo op. (During her staged grand finale in DC, the happy, grieving boob was caught smiling as she was being arrested at the White House on 9/26 as per her plan.) According to their political agenda, the liberal, left-leaning NY Times slanted their biased news coverage as usual.

True only to form, here's how the liberal, leftist press manipulated the simultaneous San Francisco march and doctored their biased coverage: ("Anatomy of a Photograph"). Another hidden commie will be found orchestrating them...

Cindy Sheehan came to national attention last summer when she camped out in her embattled "Camp Casey" near President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, demanding that the vacationing President explain to her in person why her 24-year-old son Casey, an Army Specialist assigned to the 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, died in Iraq. The President had already met with her once before on June 18, 2004. (He is shown kissing her here.) But now she seeks to personally rail at the President by voicing an agenda which berates and insults him and his administration. In your wildest fantasies...It won't happen - and as well it shouldn't.

She grieves for her fallen hero son, a US Army Humvee mechanic, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, Ft. Hood, Texas, age 24, who was one of seven U.S. soldiers killed in Baghdad's Sadr City on Palm Sunday, April 4, 2004 - just five days after arriving in Baghdad - by rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire. We mourn that loss with her. Yet early last August she called those enemy insurgents who killed her own son "freedom fighters". Her patron, leftist filmmaker Michael Moore, insultingly calls them "minutemen" akin to our Revolutionary War heroes.

While delivering another salvo of flatulence (def: self importance, pomposity), Sheehan also rants on Moore's blogsite that the President should "pull his troops out of occupied New Orleans." The seer even claims that "tens of thousands of angels" back her and says that here late son calls his Commander-in-Chief "an idiot" from heaven. I think she's demented and obviously has been - even before Casey gave his life for Enduring Freedom.

I don't question or doubt her sincerity or her grief, but she is to be pitied and denounced - not anointed or despised. She also deserves to be exposed and "Swift Boated" out of the water just like Sen. John Kerry was. Let her be scrutinized as was the biased and disgraced former CBS anchor Dan Rather -- who led the charge to discredit President Bush before the 2004 election with forged documents. I empathize with and appreciate those clergy who showed compassion towards her tragic loss by ministering to her and her followers, but those partisans are sadly wrong in trying to mold her into something she is not and then placing her atop a pedestal.

And, since Cindy Sheehan has declared that she will not pay her 2004 income tax because her son was killed in action during that year, the IRS should audit her as a tax evader. "My son was killed in 2004. I am not paying my taxes for 2004," Sheehan told an audience of Veterans for Peace. "You killed my son, George Bush, and I don't owe you a penny. ... You give my son back and I'll pay my taxes. Come after me [for back taxes] and we'll put this war on trial." Under 26 U.S.C. § 7201, an attempt to evade or defeat federal tax is a crime: "Any person who willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any tax imposed by this title or the payment thereof shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $100,000 ($500,000 in the case of a corporation), or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution."

In one of her many self-serving PR stunts before a cheering crowd at San Francisco State University last April, Sheehan has not only called Bush ''the biggest terrorist in the world" but suggested that his ''band of neocons" deliberately allowed the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 to happen: ''9/11 was their Pearl Harbor to get their neo-con agenda through." Her leftist cohorts were holding a rally in support of Lynne Stewart, a radical NYC attorney convicted in 2003 of aiding and abetting a terrorist conspiracy.

Sheehan compared Mrs. Stewart (like her, another pathetic, ugly frump) to Atticus Finch, the lawyer in ''To Kill a Mockingbird" who heroically defends a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman in the formerly segregated South. The likewise liberal Stewart, acting as a subversive liaison, abused her jailhouse lawyer/client privilege and ferreted messages between her incarcerated client, terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, and his affiliated outside network. This terrorist cleric still presents a very real danger to us here in New York.

Mrs. Sheehan also opined during a television interview that the United States should not have ousted the tyrannical Taliban from power in Afghanistan after September 11, for harboring Al Qaeda. She has become notorious by allying herself with seditionist organizations that teach that "Iraqi insurgents have the right to kill American soldiers." In doing so, she is demoralizing the families of our fallen soldiers; has betrayed her country and disgraced her fallen son's legacy by calling their heroic sacrifices "futile", ("She Does Not Speak for Me - My son died in Iraq--and it was not in vain." By Ronald R. Griffin, Aug. 18, 2005). It is they whom she shamelessly exploits that deserve the honors and accolades, not her. ("Exploiting the Dead" -- By Ben Johnson FrontPageMagazine.com August 12, 2005)

Specialist Casey Austin Sheehan (May 29. 1979 -- April 04, 2004) who enlisted and then reenlisted against his mother's wishes and served with the US Army, 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regimen (and was actually raised by his step mother) is the real HERO here -- not his biological mother and not the terrorists who killed him along with his seven buddies.

Michael Reagan, eldest son of our late President Ronald Reagan, has penned these insightful Freudian theories for all the anger and HATE Cindy projects. (FrontPageMagazine.com, Aug. 26, 2005.)

Therefore, is it any wonder that her bereaved husband of 26 years, Patrick, has now filed for a divorce for "irreconcilable differences"? The entire Sheehan family, including Casey's grandparents, godmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins, have publicly condemned Mrs. Sheehan's hostile actions as they publicly support President George W. Bush and our American troops. The Sheehan family issued a moving statement disassociating themselves from Cindy Sheehan: "The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. 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, silently, with prayer and respect."

Even her hometown newspaper, "The Reporter" of Vacaville, CA, has sharply rebuked her -- and rightfully so. (Unfairly, Cindy's sexual orientation is questioned by detractors while it’s being whispered that she’s a cheating, radical lesbian and mentally unbalanced. That kind of gutter sleaze should be aired in divorce court only.)

Besides ("Rev.") Al Sharpton, et al, another of Cindy's far-leftist activist friends is the Communist and former Black Panther criminal Malik Rahim whom she recently met in New Orleans. In a speech he gave he gave to the Communist Manifesto conference in December 1998, Rahim stated: "I'm here on behalf of two revolutionary freedom fighters that have spent the last 26 years in solitary confinement in Angola, a state prison in Louisiana. I met these freedom fighters as a political prisoner in 1970. I was in a shoot-out with the police in New Orleans as a member of the Black Panther Party."

That Communist Manifesto conference was also conducted by the Workers World Party which is the most active Communist group in the United States (an "anti war" farce formed in opposition to other commie cells which were "insufficiently rigorous" after the 1956 Russian invasion of Hungary - which they supported) in conjunction with its subversive subsidiaries International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) and that other Communist front group International Action Center, which is headed by the radical former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark who also backs Cindy Sheehan. To this, their red star pin-up girl, do these clergy award their seal of ''absolute moral authority .

It is widely reported that Sheehan also works with various groups linked to the Democratic Party, such as MoveOn.org, True Majority, Democracy for America and United for Peace and Justice. Watch and see if she isn't sitting in Michael Moore's seat at the 2008 Democratic Convention.

According to Washington Post columnist Michael Kelly ("Marching with Stalinists", Jan. 22, 2003; Pg. A15) "....International A.N.S.W.E.R. today unquestioningly supports any despotic regime that lays any claim to socialism, or simply to anti-Americanism. It supported the butchers of Beijing after the slaughter of Tiananmen Square. It supports Saddam Hussein and his Baathist torture-state. It supports the last official Stalinist state, North Korea, in the mass starvation of its citizens. It supported Slobodan Milosevic after the massacre at Srebrenica. It supports the mullahs of Iran, and the narco-gangsters of Colombia and the bus-bombers of Hamas..."

Ranting her allegedly* anti-Semitic rhetoric that he was killed in a war for a Jewish cabal ("Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel." --from her recent letter to ABCs "Nightline") has also garnered her the support of another bigot, KKK leader, Rep. David Duke. "From the beginning, this war was orchestrated from top to bottom by Jewish Neocons that saw the war as one for Israel’s strategic objectives. They ramped up the war through Jews such as Perle and Wolfowitz, the false intelligence through CIA analyst Stuart Cohen and by Israel’s Mossad, and had a compliant Jewish-dominated media to cheer on the war." (*Not that there's anything wrong with expressing her wish of ending the Israeli occupation in Palestine -- I do also and have been for decades. - ed.)

Our former Dem. Mayor Edward I. Koch bespeaks most of us best: "Speak up America! Sheehan has spent her sympathy!" Agreed. So why are those clergy reverencing her butt and all that falls out of it?
