"Good Riddance Attention Whore"
By Cindy Sheehan
Editor's comment: God Bless Cindy
Sheehan; she is a good person. And she is right: The two party system is
faulty, because plutocrats buy each party outright, though there are still a few
good eggs--such as Ron Paul--among the rotten ones.
I have endured a lot of smear and hatred since Casey was killed and especially
since I became the so-called "Face" of
the American anti-war movement.
Especially since I renounced any tie I have remaining with the Democratic Party,
I have been further trashed on such "liberal blogs" as the Democratic
Underground. Being called an "attention whore" and being told "good riddance"
are some of the more milder rebukes.
I have come to some heartbreaking conclusions this Memorial Day Morning. These
are not spur of the moment reflections, but things I have been meditating on for
about a year now. The conclusions that I have slowly and very reluctantly come
to are very heartbreaking to me. The first conclusion is that I was the darling
of the so-called left as long as I limited my protests to George Bush and the
Republican Party. Of course, I was slandered and libeled by the right as a
"tool" of the Democratic Party. This label was to marginalize me and my message.
How could a woman have an original thought, or be working outside of our
"two-party" system? However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the
same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to
erode and the "left" started labeling me with the same slurs that the right
used. I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace
and people dying for no reason is not a matter of "right or left", but "right
and wrong."
I am deemed a radical because I believe that partisan politics should be left to
the wayside when hundreds of thousands of people are dying for a war based on
lies that is supported by Democrats and Republican alike.
It amazes me that people who are sharp on the issues and can zero in like a
laser beam on lies, misrepresentations, and political expediency when it comes
to one party refuse to recognize it in their own party.
Blind party loyalty is dangerous whatever side it occurs on. People of the world
look on us Americans as jokes because we allow our political leaders so much
murderous latitude and if we don’t find alternatives to this corrupt "two" party
system our Representative Republic will die and be replaced with what we are
rapidly descending into with nary a check or balance: a fascist corporate
wasteland.
I am demonized because I don’t see party affiliation or nationality when I look
at a person, I see that person’s heart. If someone looks, dresses, acts, talks
and votes like a Republican, then why do they deserve support just because
he/she calls him/herself a Democrat?
I have also reached the conclusion that if I am doing what I am doing because I
am an "attention whore" then I really need to be committed. I have invested
everything I have into trying to bring peace with justice to a country that
wants neither. If an individual wants both, then normally he/she is not willing
to do more than walk in a protest march or sit behind his/her computer
criticizing others.
I have spent every available cent I got from the money a "grateful" country gave
me when they killed my son and every penny that I have received in speaking or
book fees since then. I have sacrificed a 29 year marriage and have traveled for
extended periods of time away from Casey’s brother and sisters and my health has
suffered and my hospital bills from last summer (when I almost died) are in
collection because I have used all my energy trying to stop this country from
slaughtering innocent human beings.
I have been called every despicable name that small minds can think of and have
had my life threatened many times. The most devastating conclusion that I
reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing. His
precious lifeblood drained out in a country far away from his family who loves
him, killed by his own country which is beholden to and run by a war machine
that even controls what we think. I have tried every since he died to make his
sacrifice meaningful. Casey died for a country which cares more about who will
be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few
months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.
It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years
and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the
most. I have also tried to work within a peace movement that often puts personal
egos above peace and human life. This group won’t work with that group; he won’t
attend an event if she is going to be there; and why does Cindy Sheehan get all
the attention anyway? It is hard to work for peace when the very movement that
is named after it has so many divisions.
Our brave young men and women in Iraq have been abandoned there indefinitely by
their cowardly leaders who move them around like pawns on a chessboard of
destruction and the people of Iraq have been doomed to death and fates worse
than death by people worried more about elections than people. However, in five,
ten, or fifteen years, our troops will come limping home in another abject
defeat and ten or twenty years from then, our children’s children will be seeing
their loved ones die for no reason, because their grandparents also bought into
this corrupt system.
George Bush will never be impeached because if the Democrats dig too deeply,
they may unearth a few skeletons in their own graves and the system will
perpetuate itself in perpetuity. I am going to take whatever I have left and go
home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to
regain some of what I have lost.
I will try to maintain and nurture some very positive relationships that I have
found in the journey that I was forced into when Casey died and try to repair
some of the ones that have fallen apart since I began this single-minded crusade
to try and change a paradigm that is now, I am afraid, carved in immovable,
unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble. Camp Casey has served its purpose.
It’s for sale. Anyone want to buy five beautiful acres in Crawford , Texas ? I
will consider any reasonable offer.
I hear George Bush will be moving out soon, too...which makes the property even
more valuable. This is my resignation letter as the "face" of the American
anti-war movement. This is not my "Checkers" moment, because I will never give
up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good
old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system.
This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to
help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I
love and the rest of my resources. Good-bye America ...you are not the country
that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make
you be that country unless you want it.
It’s up to you now.
