She wants to have a say in how our country is run, but she doesn't want to have to contribute her fair share.
Liberal activist and professional protester Cindy Sheehan is in trouble with the IRS over seven years of unpaid taxes, and this time, it's a fight that I hope the IRS wins.
But seriously, what else can you expect from a woman who disowned her son when he enlisted and then shed crocodile tears and rushed out to cash his military life insurance policy so she could use the money to carry on her anti-war hobby crusade.
To an extent I can feel some small measure of pity for her. When Bush was in office, she was the darling of the left and Nancy Pelosi's BFF, and she naturally came to believe that her star would never set so long as she could beat the adminstration over the head with her dead son. But all that changed when Obama took office and the Dems took over Congress. At that time, Cindy's usefulness was at an end and Pelosi started calling the Capitol Police on her in lieu of inviting her to Congresional functions. The media also responded to the Democrats' puppeteering and stopped covering her when she showed up at the White House. Crazy Cindy, as she came to be known, tried to keep her protest in the public eye, but she'd been abandoned literally overnight by those who used to support and encourage her because suddenly they were the ones in power and the woman who they used as a tool to embarrass the last administration was viewed as a pain-in-the-ass to this one. So it's no wonder that she went over the edge and lost what little piece of her mind that still functioned.
Now, desperate for attention of any kind, she's trying to turn her attempt to avoid paying her fair share--something that the liberals say that we all must do--into another shot at the brass ring of public acclaim. She wants to be famous again, and she wants to be loved and adored by the left.
Well good luck with that, Cindy, because trying to keep from handing over your cash to the government is on par with wanting to own guns or criticizing Obama--it's just not going to be tolerated.
Get her, IRS.

When "Over My Dead Body!" isn't Just a Saying...
The angry Left is very well-known for trying to impose their chosen lifestyle on the rest of us, either insisting that we stop doing things that they personally don’t like or demanding that we all live as they want to live. They’re really good at putting their foot down and trying to block other people’s chosen way of living, but sometimes they tend to get carried away and go just that one step too far. And as examples, I bring you this list of loony lefties who overdid things just a tad, typically in ways that also qualified them for the Darwin Awards:
Diana Cushing Canning and Anthony Hernandez, both of California. On October 26, 2002, Canning and Hernandez basically knocked their own heads off as they were traveling through San Francisco in a converted school bus with their heads sticking up through a skylight. The skylight hit an overhanging concrete slab at the end of a tunnel, killing both of them. Canning and Hernandez were among two dozen passengers in the bus, en route to a demonstration against a possible war against Iraq. Another passenger in the bus said Hernandez and Canning had previously been asked to sit down while passing through the tunnel.
Rachel Corrie. In January of 2003, this over-indulged kid from Olympia Washington took a break from attending college courses and went to Israel. While there, she basically devoted herself full-time to protesting Israel and America and even burned American flags in front of cheering crowds of Hamas types. On March 16, she decided to stand in front of bulldozers that were removing structures that had been used by Palestinian terrorists and she wound up beneath one. “We were really surprised,” said one of her fellow useful idiot friends. “They’ve always stopped before.” Apparently they’d done this several times previously, but this time the operator of the machine didn’t see Rachel and she was inadvertently transformed into a human pancake.
Sebastien Briat, 21, from Meuse, France, In November of 2004, Sebastien chained himself to railroad tracks in that country to try to stop a train carrying nuclear materials. He rather stupidly chained himself to the tracks before the train actually stopped and placed himself just past a curve where the engineer was unable to see him until it was too late. Briat’s fellow morons said that Briat was “surprised by the train”, which ran him over, killing him. Surprise, asshole.
Tristan Anderson, 37, from California. Another trust-fund kid with no real purpose in life. He was struck in the head by a tear gas grenade on March 16, 2009 while throwing rocks at Israeli workers and soldiers who were building a security fence in Israel’s West bank. Like Rachel Corrie, Anderson was a member of the leftist “International Solidarity Movement”, a Palestinian front group that supports actions against Israel and the United States, mainly by recruiting spoiled rich American kids with low self-esteem and defective moral compasses.
Honorable mention: Weston Reidhead.
In the “hopefully he gets it right the next time” category, we have Weston.
On October 23, 1997, during an on-going campaign to stop a "salvage rider" timber sale in a wild, remote part of Northern California, Weston Reidhead was hit by a log truck on Sidewinder Road. Weston, born into a logging family in Southern Utah, was blockading one of the main haul roads for the controversial Outside timber sale in the Klamath National Forest, twenty miles south of Happy Camp. The log truck driver stopped his truck when he saw Weston in the road.
"The truck was stopped in the road and I was in front of it, yelling at the driver not to move, that I was under his tire. He called my bluff, but I wasn't bluffing," Weston stated after his feet were crushed by the truck's tires. Weston was transported by ambulance to
the emergency medical center in Yreka, and was treated for broken bones and lacerations on his ankle and feet. Weston only gets honorable mention since he didn't actually succeed in killing himself. As of the last report, he was still unable to walk and uses a wheelchair, or crawls on his knees.
Hey Weston, here’s a bit of advice: next time, put your head under the tires. That’ll show ‘em you mean business. Idiot.
Naturally, the left has lionized all of these fools. I don't condemn them for that, but I do wish that more leftists, to include Cindy Sheehan and the Code Pink harridans, would try a little harder to emulate them. Hey Code Pinkos--just a suggestion, but you could probably get a lot of attention if you all locked yourself together with a big, heavy pink chain and jumped off of the 14th Street Bridge into the Potomac...

I toldja so! Momma Moonbat was only spinning us when she claimed to be giving it up.
When I saw this story, I couldn't have been less surprised.
A couple of months ago, Cindy Sheenhan--the First Lunatic--bid us all a tearful "farewell"and claimed that she was tired of playing "hey, look at me!" She held a press conference and sold her Crawford house, known to most of America as Camp Nutter. I told you all then that she was only faking, and that she wasn't about to give up her claim to fame as a professional victim and media whore. And I was right. Here she is again, staging yet another march on Washington DC and holding yet another press conference to announce that she plans to run for office against her one-time hero and friend, Liberal Democrat Nancy Pelosi.
Ahhh, Cindy, Cindy, Cindy.... You never cease to amuse us.
And never let it be forgotten that Cindy disowned her son Casey when he enlisted in the army that she hated so much. She was totally estranged from him--by her own choice--until the day that he died. And with his death came Cindy's long-awaited shot at fame and the limelight. Suddenly the woman who refused to even speak to her son was "heartbroken" over his loss, and by virtue of press releases, staged media events, and gullible legislators like Pelosi, Cindy catapulted herself straight onto the front pages where she was finally able to find a receptive audience for the anti-war drivel that she'd spouted for so long.
I knew that she wasn't going away that easily. I think most of us did. But as usual, we've all been forced to play her silly little attention-whore game again. I just wonder who'll be backing her now that she's bitten every liberal hand that ever fed her.

Cindy quitting? Or just getting more desperate?
The headlines today all seem to stem from Cindy "It's all about me" Sheehan supposedly quitting her gig as number one protest buffoon and volunteer serial arrestee following her rather whiny missive posted to the anti-American website, Daily Kos. In her alleged "farewell letter", Sheehan as usual makes frequent use of the "I" key as she talks about how she's broke and disillusioned and the victim of everyone on both the left and the right now. Unsaid but strongly suggested is the idea that she and she alone in the only true believer in the anti-war movement. Digging past her whining and "poor me" blathering, I suspect that this is part of her never-ending attempt to get on the front pages and draw support from anyone with an axe to grind against the government. Like those drama queens on so many internet discussion boards who pen long rants about how they're leaving forever because no one likes them while all the while hoping and praying that others will publicly rush to their defense and insist that they stay, Cindy will probably be back in a week or two, simply resuming her craziness as if she'd never left or even threatened to go once she sees that either a few people have called for her to return or more typically, that no one has called for her return. She has way too much invested in her quest for the never-ending limelight to give it up now even though the Democrats that did once laud her as a hero have now kicked her to the curb like last week's trash now that they're in power. (Nancy Pelosi used to pose for pictures with Cindy. Now she uses Capitol Police to remove Cindy from her office.)
So what's next for Cindy? Well despite her claims of near poverty, she's pocketed a ton of cash by charging speakers' fees to show up and rant against the Bush Administration over the past few years. I'm betting that she'll do all right.
Of course I could be wrong and she could douse herself with gasoline and set herself on fire in Lafayette Park in the manner of so many protesting Buddhist monks over the years, but that wouldn't be so bad either now, would it?
Got marshmallows?

Cindy Sheehan arrested again
Cindy Sheehan is at it again, according to this story from Fox News.
She was arrested again yesterday, this time for throwing a bunch of petitions over the White House fence, apparently angry because the Secret Service officers would not take them from her and give them to the President.
God forbid that the news not be all about her, she had to find some way to horn in on all of the election hoopla so she showed up at the White House with petitions aimed at affecting US policy in Iran (Is there any country of conflict that she does not claim to be an expert on now?) and when no one jumped to take her petitions, she threw them over the fence.
Throwing things over the White House fence is a guaranteed arrest. Cindy "It's all about me" Sheehan had to have known this, and what better way to become a media martyr again and get the newspapers to forget the elections and write about her again than to engage in a juvenile act like that and get arrested in order to claim the sacred mantle of "victimhood" once again?
What a sad pathetic woman. Someone needs to take custody of her and medicate her until she accepts the fact that her fifteen minutes of fame are well past up and few people outside of the whack-fringe left find her fascinating or credible any more.
And on a related note, they say that you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their friends and associates. Well this picture taken from her own web site speaks volumes about Nancy Pelosi, the woman who wants to run Congress now:
That's Nancy Pelosi on the right and Cindy "Hey everybody look at me!" Sheehan on the left. Nancy's proud to be seen with whack-jobs like Cindy. She makes no secret of their common agenda. If you're like me, you're a good bit more worried over the immediate future of our country than you were three days ago.

Representative Cynthia McKinney shows her ass yet again
This from the woman who wrote to a Saudi Arabian prince begging for the money that New York City rejected following 9/11. She lost her House seat in 2002 for stating several times that 9/11 was a Bush Administration conspiracy, and then her crazy father claimed that "the Jews stole her seat because she spoke out." Since returning, she's been fined for campaign finance violations and garnered more attention for stupid comments in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Now the nutter from Georgia assaults a Capitol Police officer who was just trying to do his job.
According to sources on Capitol Hill, U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) punched a Capitol police officer on Wednesday afternoon after he mistakenly pursued her for failing to pass through a metal detector.
Members of Congress are not required to pass through metal detectors.
Sources say that the officer was at a position in the Longworth House Office Building, and neither recognized McKinney, nor saw her credentials as she went around the metal detector.
The officer called out, “Ma’am, Ma’am,” and walked after her in an attempt to stop her. When he caught McKinney, he grabbed her by the arm.
Witnesses say McKinney pulled her arm away, and with her cell phone in hand, punched the officer in the chest.
McKinney’s office has not responded to requests for comment.
According to the Drudge Report, the entire incident is on tape.
Drudge continues, "The cop is pressing charges, and the USCP (United States Capitol Police) are waiting until Congress adjurns to arrest her, a source claims."
No charges have been filed. Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider says that senior officials have been made aware of the incident and are investigating.
A statement attributed to McKinney has been released on the Internet, where she allegedly claims to have been harassed by Capitol Hill Police.
The statement's writer says that she has been harassed by white police officers she says do not recognize her due to her recently changed hairstyle.
"Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers," the statement says.
The writer details the incident, saying, "I was rushing to my meeting when a white police officer yelled to me. He approached me, bodyblocked me, physically touching me. I used my arm to get him off of me. I told him not to touch me several times. He asked for my ID and I showed it to him. He then let me go and I proceeded to my meeting and I assume that the Police Officer resumed his duties. I have counseled with the Sergeant-at-Arms and Acting Assistant Chief Thompson several times before and counseled with them again on today's incident. I offered also to counsel with the offending police officer."
http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=77991
Dick Williams, publisher of the Dunwoody Crier, told FOX News that McKinney has often complained of mistreatment of African-American members of Congress regarding security checks on Capitol Hill. Indeed, this is not the first incident with McKinney at a checkpoint, according to Slate magazine.
"In August 1993, during her first term in office, a Capitol Hill police officer tried to prevent her from bypassing a metal detector, as members of Congress are allowed to do. For years afterward, The Hill reports, the Capitol Police pinned a picture of McKinney to an office wall, warning officers to learn her face because she refuses to wear her member's pin. (And because officers are innately suspicious of a black woman with braided hair and gold shoes)," reports the online journal.
A spokesman for House Speaker Dennis Hastert was quick to comment on the incident.
"On a day when the Democrats are promoting their national security agenda, it's probably not a good idea for them to allegedly strike police officers."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189553,00.html
Yeah, Atlanta voters sure chose well, didn't they? I guess every city needs a Marion Barry clone in office to represent all the stupid people who are allowed to vote. Notice how she completely denies any responsibility even though she wasn't wearing her ID pin as she was required to do. You'd better believe that she'd be the first one to screech if a terrorist or other non-elected crazy got into that building though.
And I hope that the officer sticks with it and charges her and sues her personally as well.
And for all the Cynthia fans out there, there was this stupid stunt of hers a couple of months ago too. Just more proof that she's out of her depth in Washington DC:

Congressmen Ejected With Sheehan
The ejection of Cindy Sheehan and a congressman’s wife from President Bush’s State of the Union address for wearing T-shirts with political content garnered plenty of media attention.
But few noticed another, quieter drama unfolding as two members of Congress were also unseated – Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., and Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., both members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
McKinney has been accustomed to staking out an aisle seat and therefore assuring a network TV appearance with the president, according to Roll Call’s "Heard on the Hill” column.
So McKinney went to the House floor hours in advance of the speech, along with Jackson, and they snagged two choice seats in a section normally reserved for Senators.
Jackson then returned to his office while McKinney remained to hold on to the seats.
But three hours after Jackson got back to his office, he received a cell phone call from a frantic McKinney telling him that sergeant-at-arms staffers were kicking her out of the seats.
Jackson rushed back to the floor and told the officials: "Why are we reserving seats for people who [didn’t filibuster] Alito?” An official explained that was out of his control.
The confrontation continued for a few tense moments, but ultimately McKinney and Jackson moved away, avoiding a standoff with Senators who wanted the seats.
"Why do McKinney and Jackson go through all the trouble of saving seats for hours on end to shake hands with a president they don’t even like?” Roll Call wondered.
The reason, according to Roll Call: TV commercials are expensive and the Congressional Black Caucus, Jackson said, has been invited to the Bush White House only twice, so the State of the Union address is a chance to "show our constituents our proximity to the president."
He added, "They need to know their members of Congress have access to the president.”

Shut up, Cindy...and control your wife, Congressman Young.
Well we all should have known that we couldn't have a political event as big and prominent as the State of the Union without an attempt to steal the show by America's #1 attention whore, Cindy Sheehan. Seriously, her goofy antics remind me of the way Lucille Ball was always trying to get into Ricky Ricardo's act on the old I Love Lucy show. The only difference is that Lucy was actually funny and talented and the shows at least had an ending to them. Cindy's just shrill and semi-psychotic and she goes on and on longer than that damned Energizer bunny. She actually had some credibility as a bereaved mother once, but she lost it long ago when she started demanding that our President meet with her (again) and ranting about Israel's policies and daring the IRS to try to collect any more taxes from her. And her little trip to Venezuela where she joined Communist dictator Hugo Chavez in a marathon Bush-bashing, anti-America rally was the icing on her very dry cake.
Now she shows up at the State of the Union and she gets in because Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif. gave her a guest pass. "Oh, but she promised me she'd behave," Woolsey later giggled. But I don't think that anyone ever expected this one-woman circus act to behave or show the proper respect for such a solemn event. And true to form, once inside she peeled off her jacket to display a T-shirt intended to draw worldwide media attention to the war in Iraq, and of course to her personally.
The US Capitol Police did the right thing and they asked her to cover it up or leave. She predictably refused to do either so they arrested her and removed her and she didn't get her chance to draw the media attention away from our President during this important event.
And this clown act would have been over right there but for another ill-mannered self-promoting attention whore--Beverly Young, wife of Republican Congressman C.W. "Bill" Young of Florida. This hayseed twit also showed up at this formal event wearing a T-shirt. This one was in support of our troops but it was still as out of place in this forum as Barney the dinosaur would have been at a Pope's funeral. You don't wear T-shirts to events like this and even your average eight year old knows this. I'm sure that Beverly Young knew better too, but like Cindy, Beverly wanted the attention. She got a bit from Capitol Police too and they politely asked her to leave. She did, but then she had her apparently P-whipped husband call Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer and dress him down. Gainer--normally a guy with sterling judgement--went overboard trying to placate C.W. "Yes dear" Young and apologized to him and his shrew wife, who still took to a press conference to call him an "idiot" and demand that he be fired. (Yes folks, she's acting just like a Liberal.)
And because Gainer decided that Beverly "I-wear-the-pants-in-my-husband's-office" Young had been wrongfully treated, he also apologized to Cindy and dropped the charges against her.
Now of course Cindy gets 15 more minutes of fame as she screams about how vindicated she is and then laughably claims that she was damaged because the police "humiliated her and made her look bad." Oh give me a break. That's right up there with Saddam Hussein claiming that the Americans made him look bad when they put him on trial for the umpteen counts of genocide and mass murder that he openly engaged in for years. Fact is Cindy made herself into a cartoon character long ago and even earlier before this event, she and a few other liberal lunatics and news crews went and stood outside the White House and shrieked: "You're evicted! Get out of our house!"
Yeah, that didn't make her look like a nut-job.
And of course Cindy is now gleefully planning to sue and pocket a whole bunch of money that rightfully belongs to the US taxpayers.
This frivolous suit will get her even more attention and cost us all money and it couldn't have happened had not C.W. "pantywaist" Young badgered Chief Gainer into publicly admitting that the police officers' actions were wrongful.
What should have happened was that Chief Gainer should have told Young to pound sand and control his wife better and Young should have stood tall like a man and either taught his spoiled little wife to act better or else kept her at home with the other children.
So I'll be the first one to call on the government to re-file the charges against Cindy AND Beverly Young if those two prima donnas want to play games. I'm also calling on the voters in Young's home district to send a powerful message to their henpecked representative and tell them that just as we did not elect Hillary to be Co-President to Bill Clinton in 1993, neither did they elect Beverly Young to Congress.
And Cindy, if you hate my country, my military and my President as much as you frequently claim, how about if you just pack your bag, jump on your broom and fly off permanently to the terrorist nation of your choice. We don't need you here and you won't be missed.
But if you want to stay here in spite of your contempt for the rest of us, you need to shut your yapper.
Now she shows up at the State of the Union and she gets in because Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif. gave her a guest pass. "Oh, but she promised me she'd behave," Woolsey later giggled. But I don't think that anyone ever expected this one-woman circus act to behave or show the proper respect for such a solemn event. And true to form, once inside she peeled off her jacket to display a T-shirt intended to draw worldwide media attention to the war in Iraq, and of course to her personally.
The US Capitol Police did the right thing and they asked her to cover it up or leave. She predictably refused to do either so they arrested her and removed her and she didn't get her chance to draw the media attention away from our President during this important event.
