Cindy Sheehan, Visionary Hero?
I don't care where you stand on the Iraq War.
The Vision Revolution is being fed and inspired by visionaries on all sides.
Meet Cindy Sheehan. Iraq War Protester. Visionary.
Here is a woman, one person, who saw how she could make a difference and cause positive change. She saw she could be a voice for the voiceless. She felt called to take action and speak up and she did it. That is what it means to be a visionary.
I just read an article on CCN about how she was apparently roughed up when she spoke in Philadelphia without a permit. All I can say is Go Cindy!
(AND, Go American Soldier... you are our heroes as well. Really, this has NOTHING to do with politics. I doubt she and I would agree on much politically. Who cares? That's beside the point.)
How many of us don't speak up and speak out due to a fear of authorities? If we are to reclaim our world and our future for our children, what we need is not more fearful obedience, but courageous independence.
Visionaries are uncontrollable. Their vision for making a difference lifts them above fear, above doubt, above the small things that keep so many of us small. Go Cindy!
Our future does not depend so much on who "wins" the Iraq war as it does on who wins the Vision Revolution! I don't know about you, but I'm ready and waiting for a world full of people like Cindy.
And if certain Philadelphia policemen did abuse their power, shame on them. They give a bad name to all those brave souls who risk their lives every day to protect our rights, our freedom and our dignity. There is no cause for roughing up any human being who is simply speaking up--PERMIT OR NO PERMIT.
Totally uncalled for. Totally shameful. Such behaviour shames and intimidates people acting as visionaries, as real heroes. Such intimidation tactics and brute force also shames others from stepping up like Cindy.
Since when does the authority of "the law" oeverride the authority of your conscience? She is a human being. She is a visionary. Treat her like one. Honor her.
As a defender of our rights, freedoms and human dignity, a heroic police officer is one who takes a stand among his fellow officers and encourages restraint. Especially when pride, adrenaline and testosterone are factors. It takes a visionary officer to see how he or she can be the one to make a difference, to cause positive change. To all officers who stand first for conscience above simply acting "within the law," our future depends on you. You are our heroes. We honor you.
If we care about our future, we'll honor visionaries like Cindy, especially when we disagree with them. Our future and our children's future depends on it!

No, I will not honor her as a visionary, as I do not honor the visionaries, Stalin, Hitler and lately, Osama Ben Laden. I honor her as a mother and as another human being. I respect her right to be wrong and the officers right to correct her wrongful behavior.
Yep, this is about taking sides and if you really believe it doesn't matter which side wins the "Iraq" war, then you are on "their" side. As a retired police officer and past soldier, I resent what you said here today, but you are welcome to it. I just hope my friends and family don't have to live under "thier" tyranny because of Cindy Sheehan and YOU.
Cindy sheehan is not a visionary. She is a Pawn duped by the left wing liberals into banging their drum. They couldn't care less about her other then how they can use her for thier selfish purposes. I feel sorry for the woman. Because of the loss of her Son, she has allowed herself to become a slave to hatred. She has lost her mind, thrown away her merriage, been abandoned by her entire family who are embarressed to even know her. And all for What? NOTHING. In 6 months from now, no one will even remember her! A Visionary? I don't think so.....
Visionary? I don't think so. Cindy Sheehan is a puppet. A puppet of the liberals and anti-iraq, anti-ware machine. It does not take vision voice an opinion that was put in your head by the mindless liberal elite. It takes a visionary to say that my adult child put himself in harms way to protect a way of life for hundreds of millions of others. There should be more indiviuals like her son, and fewer mindless chatterboxes with nothing of value to say that drink the koolaide.
I salute individuals and groups who have the guts to follow their vision and their unaldulterated believe in their own valus, irrespective of what the powers taht be may tell them or impose on them.
I am very saddened by the present values as perperated by the goons in the White house and Capital Hill. Just look at their egos inflate when they appear on TV. They look like bloated frogs. Its all about themselves, not the problem(s) at hand. The over zealousness as with the case with Cindy and the deplorable, uncaring situation in post Katrina tells us and shows us what a sad situation we are in.
As for the iraqi war I just like to quote Sun Tzu from his "The Art of War" - no one wins an illegal or unjust war! I pray that those in power will learn from this - and the sooner the better.
I must agree with Reginald that I cannot honor her as a visionary. I can respect her right to morn her son and her right to speak what she believes. We all have the right to speak our mind or atleast we should.
As for Iraq, is there really a winning side? I respect and honor our American soldiers who risk their lives to bring about democracy and freedom.
As the wife of a former active duty Marine, I admire all our soldiers who freely give their lives to defend our country. too many of us have forgotten or have started to forget 911. This is a new war a war on terror. Even if Iraq was not part of 911, the people of Iraq lived in terror and there has been a threat of terror to the rest of the world. I do believe that we are liberating a country against tyranny and sure, I'm sure that oil does contribute to why we are there, but not the only reason we are there. This is just my opinion and you are free to agree or disagree with me.
As for Cindy, I do suppose she has the right to express her opion, but I do not need to agree with her opinion and that should be my right. I guess in a sense and I can not believe I am saying this but I do honor her right to speak and to have her own opinion. Is she a visionary, I do not know? Does she have the right to speak her mind, she should. Do i have the right to speak my mind, I should? Do you have the right to speak yours, you should? Maybe now this was the point Michael was trying to make when he said Cindy was a Visionary Hero?
Our enemys depend on people like Cindy Sheehan to weeken our resolve to fight! I guess Jane Fonda was a visionary also thats what she did in Vietnam. The communists leaders knew that if they could just hang on that the protesters would bring us down and weaken our resolve to fight and thats exactly what happened! I wonder how far your, "vision", would go living under radical Islam. You probably would not be able to see your vision because they would most likely put your eyes out for speaking up. If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything.
If you use Webster's second definition of a visionary (n. one whose ideas or projects are impractical) then I will agree she is a visionary. Consider this. "Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come let me clutch thee: I have thee not, fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight? or art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
