Michael Ramirez’s cartoon (8-29-05) depicts Cindy Sheehan holding a doll/baby labeled “POLITICS” and she is wearing a pin that says “LET MY SONS DEATH BE FOR NOTHING.” As if she, as a mother, wouldn’t be doing this if this had been a Democrat-led war.
The arrogance of those who would still have us believe that the justification for this war was not falsified and that the war is not going badly is revolting.
But, I can’t say it any better than to quote Molly Ivins, “…government policies have real consequences in people’s lives. This is not ‘just politics’ or blaming for political advantage. This is about the real consequences of what governments do and do not do about their responsibilities. And about who winds up paying the price for those policies.”
Ivins was speaking of certain environmental policies that contributed to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, but it is all the same. This administration’s vision is backwards and corrupt.
Personally, it insults my intelligence to have someone say that my opinions are politically motivated as I have no political affiliation and find politics in general to be quite repulsive and this is precisely why.
