After about 5-6 posts many threads veer towards whatever someone’s personal agenda is. We all need to watch this, otherwise no one will be able to figure out what any of us are talking about.
Bashing by association and challenging a money trail and public alliances are two different things.This thread seems to be about bashing Cindy Sheehan by association with others.
BTW, your post on August 23, 2005 10:12 PM doesn’t address Sheehan’s allies either.
Do you have any scoop on the money trail, history of Code Pink, moveon.org, and the Peace House? Any of the individuals involved with those?After about 5-6 posts many threads veer towards whatever someone’s personal agenda is.

Except when you made these posts:Than I was in the wrong. The thread is about Cindy sheehan’s Allies
Let’s quit bickering over who did what. The thread is off track. Let’s get it back on track – or do I have to ask the moderator to intervene?Except when you made these posts:

She is running some commercials paid for by a peace group she co-founded.It seems that, with all the financial backing she is recieving - Sheehan has become an industry.
Did anybody see the commercial she had earlier this week? Who paid for it?
I’m suprised that she hasn’t lost any credibility, with the media, as the grieving mother - with all the financial backing she is recieved. This is not to suggest that she is not grieving however. It just seems hard for me to see her grieving while getting preped for the camera.She is running some commercials paid for by a peace group she co-founded.
Anybody got any links about the white supremicists?And now I understand that a white supremist group will be joining her camp. What a circus.
See this thread:Anybody got any links about the white supremicists?
Is this supposed to support the notion that this war is somehow just?
In my opinion, its because so many have replaced Nationalism over Catholicism. “America first my religion second” becomes the rule and somehow many Catholics think its okay for this to be “open for debate”Please. I haven’t “rewritten” (by which you mean “distorted”) the *Gaudium et spes * passage at all. Any informed, honest reader ought to admit that Vatican II was rejecting the greed that characterizes capitalism. The Church was also reproving jingoism, chauvinism, racism, imperialism, and militarism.
The Pope and the bishops of Vatican II were clearly using verbal formulations signifying exactly the same phenomena that “lefties” assail in blunter terms. In one case–that of militarism–the council came right out and used the word, but as an adjective instead of a noun: “militaristic thinking” (in Latin: calculi ordinis militaristici).
Let me put it this way: could Rush Limbaugh could have written the passage that I cited from Vatican II?
I could fill post after post with other *Gaudium et spes * excerpts paralleling material that can be read every day in the publications of the “left.” I could do the same thing with a long catena of passages from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Why are Catholics–especially those who get all bent out of shape when Cindy Sheehan uses the word “imperialism”–blissfully unaware of these “leftist” echoes in official Catholic socioeconomic teachings? Because they refuse to read the documents of the Magisterium, as if it were a mortal sin to do so.
Keep and spread the Faith.
