Sheehan Arrested During Anti-War Protest

[Kabowd]

You can celebrate the fact that justice is served, you can celebrate the fact that someone is finally punished for being rebellious rather than being rewarded with positive publicity. You can acknowledge the fact that a person needs punished and still love them and pray for them. Just because many of us are happy to see her finally punished does not mean we are "unchristian". This woman needs a wake-up call, and if there's anything I'm praying for, it's that the reality of jail time or being punished might make her realize how foolishly she has been behaving.

My house is not paid for by public money, nor is it a tourist attaction.

Again,  my concen is not Cindy Sheehan, but the erosion of our constitution.

Another reply I have to the posts about not being of the world and thinking only of spiritual things...

Of course we are not of this world, but we do live in it at the present and have certain responsibilities.  And yes we are to meditate on the spiritual.  To me a part of being a Christian is to look out for each other and to guard the blessings the Lord has given us, such as freedom.

I used to wonder how the Christians in Gemany allowed their country to be nazified.  Now I know.  They told each other they were not of this world and to think only of spiritual things.  Too bad for the 6,000,000 jews who perished.

Please tell me you didn't just draw comparisons between the incident with Sheehan and the Nazis....wow. You've got to be kidding me.

Irrelevant... If some man you did not know, or even a man you DID know started standing in front of your house for long periods of time everyday, you would be spooked. Anyone would be. You would probably call the police if it happened for any length of time. You cannot tell me that it would not make you uncomfortable.

You are sooooo full of it. Don't even start on the Nazs. YOU don't know squat about it.

Given all of the disparaging, hateful posts you make about Israel, you need not present some facade as if you even give a flip about Jews, because you don't. There is absolutely no comparison beteen the Repbublican party with the Nazis or George Bush with Hitler. Such a comparison only shows how little you understand.

The law to not loiter in front of the White House is not about erroding the Constitution - it's about protecting the home of the president.

They had the right to walk by and protest . . . they just couldn't sit there.

And they obviously just sat there just so that they could make a show of getting arrested. Their actions speak as its own evidence.

How is it an errosion of liberty?

I agree Nebula. I guess some of us have not seen the photos of her arrest. As officers had to carry her off she was smiling ear-to-ear. The fact that she was smiling to me indicates that she wanted it to happen. This being the case, it is by no means an example of errosion of anyones civil liberties. As for those that were arrested with her, they were encouraging civil disobediance and so deserved to have it go on their records. I personally don't think any of them were upset about being placed under arrest. Its just another chance for them to relive the 60's.

it does seem a bit unChristian to be celebrating someone's arrest. If anyone believes the woman is misguided or lost, perhaps they should pray for her.

How would this thread look to someone who is seeking and might be looking for an example of Christ's love through his followers?

Good point, Katy. And much needed reminder. I know my post was almost dripping with contempt for the woman and that's wrong.

I also understand your concern about the erosion of the Constitution. I worry about that in certain issues too.
