Just A Grunt sends us a link<\/a> to a story today about anti-war activist Patricia Roberts who lost her son Jamaal Addison in the Iraq War in the same incident Jessica Lynch was captured. <\/p>\n

Roberts helped pay for the condo\u2019s $513 a month mortgage, but her income also dropped when she left her job as a clerk at the DeKalb Sheriff\u2019s Department in May.<\/p>\n

She said she receives about $600 a month in Social Security benefits through her adopted son, which is not enough to cover the mortgage and other expenses.<\/p>\n

Roberts had suffered from lung cancer, which is in remission, she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She interrupted Donald Rumsfeld in Atlanta <\/a>once. She tried to set up a peace camp in Atlanta<\/a> using Cindy Sheehan’s as a model in 2005. She has shared a stage with Sheehan<\/a> and when Sheehan resigned from her anti-war game-playing, Roberts kept on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So where is the anti-war movement for Roberts now? All that talk about solidarity and moral authority – what’s it worth? Just like the countless troops that they put in front of their marches and then abandoned by the wayside when they’d outlived their usefulness, Roberts falls to the curb, too. <\/p>\n

You mean to tell me that the millions of hippies can’t scrape together a few hundred bucks every month to help Roberts and her grandson. <\/p>\n

All of that concern for her loss of her son has dissipated in the shadow of Obama.<\/p>\n

And they can find a way to prop up Obama’s aunt in this country, but the Obama Administration has nothing to help Roberts keep her home after all of those promises before the election?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
