She was supposed to get there at 7 PM, but showed up nearly four hours late, just before 11 and spoke for all of 13 minutes. It was worth the wait, no doubt, since surely none of the moonbats who showed up to hear Cindy had ever realized that this is a war of "blood for oil", that President Bush is a terrorist and a criminal, that Bushco and Halliburton are getting rich off this war or that Casey Sheehan was murdered by President George Bush on 04/04/04. Shocking news indeed and it must have been a real eye-opener for them.

Audience member David Cline said, "People in Canada are not taking the easy way out. It's much harder to go into exile than to go along with the government."

Moobats. Where would we be without them? Right. It's MUCH harder to run away like a scared child and hide from your obligations to the military you joined voluntarily. It's rough, sitting in some suburban hell-hole in Canada, where summertime temperatures can reach as high as 90 degrees F, watching TV and waiting for the delivery boy to show up with the damned pizza. Going to Iraq is the easy way out. Anybody can shuffle around through the streets of Basra, dodging bullets and IEDs. Hell, those soldiers have it easy. THEY never have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. THEY get free clothing and medical care. THEY get to drive around in gas-guzzling Humvees that cause global warming that's going to kill us all. THEY get to park their Humvees just anywhere they want. Why? Because THEY have guns! ANYBODY can do that. But it takes a REAL man to run away to Canada.
