My LTTE to the Vacaville Reporter

[Kerrytravelers]

What is truly sad about the Sheehan affair right now is that the whole world is watching. All over the foreign press, they quote American media, in particular the Vacaville Reporter, my hometown newspaper. They are reading things like "anti-American" and "socialists" and "traitors" and quite frankly, they are shaking their heads and laughing at us. Many of these foreign papers come from countries who have experienced blind nationalism and rampant communism and socialism. When we claim it over here, we look silly and uneducated.

In a Gallup poll prior to the 2004 election, well past 80% of the polled globe thought Bush was the wrong choice because they see the obvious. The justification for Iraq has changed and contradicted itself time and again. Currently, over 70% of Americans see Mr. Bush's supposed "strength" as nothing more than arrogance. The names of CIA agents have been leaked, and shrugged off. They are now throwing a party to celebrate 9/11 at the Pentagon this year. The Downing Street Minutes show a clear intention to fix facts to justify an ideology.

I am astonished at anyone who would continue to defend this man and these policies. Being a good American, a good Republican isn't blindly following where ever someone leads you. It's asking questions and holding people accountable. When Lyndon B. Johnson lied about reasons to go into Vietnam, the Democratic party did not support him for re-election. I know there are decent Republicans out there. Why aren't you doing the same?

1. Was you letter to Cathering Moy ?? if so I wrote her yesterday and

got this back....

Hi,

You didn't include your name in your note, so forgive my informality. Thank you for taking the time to comment and support Mrs. Sheehan's Constitutional rights. I pray for her everyday, even though she asked me last year not to pray for her because she is no longer a Christian. NonChristians need prayers, too, so I'll keep praying as are many of my Catholic brethren.
I am trying to get up enough money to fly to Texas.The flights are expensive and I don't make much money. I also don't have groups backing me and would not accept money from any group. Thank you for the invitation.
I try to keep up with Mrs. Sheehan by reading her own words. She and I disagree on much, but we both want what's best for this country.
I will continue to pray for Mrs. Sheehan, her son's soul, her family and the world.
Thank you again for your time.

God Bless You,
Catherine Moy

2. Pray...pray...pary. "Pray for you" is an insult

Basically she is saying, "I am right and you are wrong". This fake christian is disgusting! She has ZERO understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
