Cindy Sheehan is now on record supporting a head of state on the grounds that he opposes the U.S.:
CARACAS (AFP) - Anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan, mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq, joined more than 10,000 anti-globalization activists in Caracas, where she hailed Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez. "I admire him for his resolve against my government and its meddling," said Sheehan...
When I first read that, I figured, well, she's just saying she opposes the current Republican administration -- not (as she said) the U.S. government. She's not saying she opposes the U.S. in general. But it turns out she can't stand the Democrat party either:
And about Bill Clinton . . . . You know, I really think he should have been impeached, but not for a blow job. His policies are responsible for killing more Iraqis that George Bush. I don't understand why to rise to the level of being president of my country one has to be a monster. I used to say that George Bush was defiling the Oval Office, but it's been held by a long line of monsters. (link via Alarming News/Instapundit ).
So Sheehan just wants people to know she 'admires' heads of state who have a 'resolve against the U.S. government.' Whether that government is led by Republicans, or Democrats, doesn't make any difference -- if you oppose the U.S. government, you have Cindy Sheehan's support.
It appears that we can now officially question Cindy Sheehan's patriotism. How can you not question her patriotism, after that?
Here's her defense (same link):
We don't have to support our administrations to love our country. True patriots of my country dissent when our country's doing something so wrong.
She's very patriotic, if by patriotic you mean someone who opposes all Republican and Democrat U.S. administrations. And I'm a fan of Cindy Sheehan, if by fan you mean someone who opposes everything she says.
And since she considers 'a long line' of Presidents of both parties to be 'monsters', it's evident that she takes the position that Democracy itself doesn't work. Her claim that she 'loves our country' is empty. It's just lip service. She doesn't love our country. She opposes Democrat and Republican administrations, and believes Democracy elects 'monsters'.
