He's just mad his mom named him "Rush".

We have all heard the name Cindy Sheehan, the mother who lost her oldest son last year in Iraq while he was on duty, and we all know about her protest going on outside of the Bush camp in Texas. And to add matters even more fun and political, Mr. Rush Limbaugh made a way-out-to-lunch comment today on his oh-so accurate talk show about how he believed she was just faking her way through this; that she staged the documents and nothing is true. Rrrrrright.

From the August 15 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: I mean, Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents. There's nothing about it that's real, including the mainstream media's glomming onto it. It's not real. It's nothing more than an attempt. It's the latest effort made by the coordinated left.

Rrrright. Maybe the fact that she won't take no for an answer or that she lost her son and just wants an explanation as to why this useless act of war is going on in Iraq is even taking place. Or maybe she just misses her son and wants someone accountable for it - ahem, Mr. Bush.

Well, Bush did meet with her once already, before she decided to go all bonkers and insist on a second meeting where'll she'll presumably take back all the things she said the first time around because tea and sympathy does not make for good book rights or talk show circuitry.

More importantly, why'd she gamble her son's life away when she let him sign up for the armed forces?I remember being given the, "If you want to die I'll kill you myself before some stranger does" speech by my parents way back when.

He wasn't drafted, he enlisted.
Therefore he wasn't 'murdered by the President', he was sacrificed by his family for a shot at saving them some money on college tuition. Now they're paying the horrible price for that selfish, lazy act.

It'd be one thing if he was a Coast Guard officer and got shipped off to war, but a SOLDIER in the US Army? "Oh my god, they're sending the army into combat? That's not supposed to happen?" Right. The US Army hasn't fought to defend Continental American soil in over 100 years. Going overseas and getting shot at is almost guaranteed. Moreover, the US Army hasn't fought an ideologically pure war since the mid 19th century. When you sign the dotted line giving consent to join the US armed forces, you know your son or daughter is at high risk of dying over someone else's money.

I have to agree. It really pisses me off that Americans think they can enlist in the army, take all the benefits such as full scholarships for school, career training ... and then when God forbid the army calls upon them to do their duty.

They don't feel it's fair, and they shouldn't have to fight.

Riiiiight.
