Cindy Sheehan Country Quotations

I feel like I gave my son to this country in an illegal and immoral war, and I'll never get him back.

I think Michael Moore is an amazing man - an amazing, brave man. And I think people are probably going to start saying, 'Don't associate with Cindy Sheehan.' People who speak truth to power somehow are marginalized in this country.

I am tired of the warmakers making war with our children. I am tired of our tired troops being sent over to do the dirty work for mob bosses who are going to squeeze the life out of Iraq and not leave until every asset and every natural resource has been raped from the country. I am tired of seeing Iraqis burying their loved ones and hearing the reverberating screams of mothers all over our country who are being destroyed for the benefit of a very few.

We really need to stop the imperialist tendencies of countries like the United States and Great Britain

After the tragedy of 9/11 we were on our way to becoming a fledgling Matriotic society until our leaders jumped on the bandwagon of inappropriate and misguided vengeance to send our young people to die and kill in two countries that were no threat to the USA or to our way of life. The neocons exploited patriotism to fulfill their goals of imperialism and plunder. This sort of patriotism begins when we enter kindergarten and learn the nationalist 'Pledge of Allegiance'. It transcends all sense when we are taught the 'Star Spangled Banner', a hymn to war.

I love my country. But how many more of our loved ones need to die in this senseless war?

America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for...

Recruiters in our country are known for lying to people.

It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison.

[My son] 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.

If we stick together as an American people we can bring down the war criminals that are running our country right now.

Loyalty to the true, core values and roots of democracy is what makes a true patriot, not loyalty to a symbol of the country.

If the people of America do not rise up, take ownership of our country, we're going to lose it forever.

It's not patriotism when you say my country, right or wrong,

I don't believe dying in a war of aggression on a country that's no threat to the United States of America is a noble cause.

What is the 'noble cause' for which you sent our country to war?

Our country has been overtaken by murderous thugs... gangsters who lust after fortunes and power.

We chased him away from his ranch. We protest all over the country without him being in attendance, so I don't think it takes away (from this vigil) a bit because he never met with us anyway.

I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. She feels strongly about her position. She has every right in the world to say what she believes. And I've thought long and hard about her position. I've heard her position from others, which is get out of Iraq, now. And it would be a mistake for the security of this country and the ability to lay the foundations for peace in the long run if we were to do so.

I'm back in love with my country because of you,

Our country does not really know what war is about.

Seems lak haf' the country be plumb crazy.

I don't think aggression on a country that was no threat to the United States is noble.

I don't want to live in a country that prohibits any person, whether he/she has paid the ultimate price for that country, from wearing, saying, writing, or telephoning any negative statements about the government.
