About Me
- Webutante
- I am a conservative woman living in the Southeastern US and the Rockies, depending on the season. I am an erstwhile wife and current mother of grown children. My life, so far, has been one of non-sequiturs which have formed my current outlook on many subjects including: family, culture, politics, food, sexuality, health, and objective versus subjective reality. With a degree in civil/environmental engineering, I have worked as a journalist, fundraiser, and most recently a professional fly fishing guide. I have never met a hiking trail, small trout stream, a leafy green vegetable, an articulate, conservative humanoid or a string of pearls I didn't like. After growing up in a conservative, Christian family, I was seduced by many the "isms" in the 60s, and took some sharp left turns. Then one day I began to realize I was on a dead-end street. By the Grace of God and through the mercy of His Son, I made a U-turn and then some better right turns. Surrounded by libs on all sides, I am thankful that I am alive to share some stories/opinions from my journey, to have a few laughs at myself, and to give Him Glory in the process.

People who lose their children - whether in war, from sickness, or accidents - act out there grief in different ways. I'm not saying I think everything she did was great. But she has sacrificed something so precious that it's hard to understand why there is so much hatred and disgust towards her. She must have done something right as a mother to raise a son who was an altar boy, Eagle Scout, and volunteer in the US Armed Forces. I guess it doens't seem to Christian to mock Gold Star mothers, regardless of what political party they belong to.
I don't think anyone doubts Cindy's pain or ineffable loss. I cannot imagine and sympathize with her greatly. But she crosses the line and loses her sympathy pass with me when she goes over to dictators like Chavez and excoriates men like Bush and the United States. And evidently, she's not only offended conservatives, but now liberals and anti-war activists too.
Seems like it is indeed time for her to take a chair and let her catchup with herself for a while.
I wish her well.
and, dont kid yourself, she was well paid down here to do it!
Good riddance! Buh- bye! She definitely crossed the line! She spewed anger and hatred for her country. She stained the memory of her son!
Thanks for proving my point Pam.
