So I won't.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

New information is emerging about efforts by major Democratic Party figures to undercut American war efforts in Iraq by providing aid to the insurgents.
Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson's article Treason in America details how a coalition of radical organizations, including US-based Code Pink, delivered some $600,000 in cash and supplies to insurgents and their families in Fallujah, just days after 51 American troops were killed there in some of the bloodiest action of the Iraq war. An approving article published in Islam Online tipped off the connection between the anti-American Global Exchange coalition and the Democrats who made their venture possible:
They secured diplomatic courtesy letters from US Senators Barbara Boxer of California and Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Congressmen Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Henry Waxman of California.
Islam Online deleted the incriminating page, which had been online since early 2005, on October 12, less than an hour after the publication of my American thinker article describing the close relationship between Senator Barbara Boxer and Code Pink. A cached version is still available.
Buzz Patterson's new article provides the actual letter written by Congressman Henry Waxman to the US Embassy in Aman, Jordan on behalf of the pro-insurgent group. The letter has a Congressional letterhead and is dated December 14, 2004 - while American troops were still fighting in Fallujah. It asks the Consul General to provide "any assistance you could offer" to the Global Exchange coalition during its mission to deliver supplies to the insurgency.
The corresponding diplomatic letters written by Senator Boxer and Congressmen Kucinich and Grijalva have not yet been made public. No doubt they, too, would make interesting reading.
So I won't.
Thanks for the input. I think this generation of vets will stand out for their HUMILITY as well (not that it is different from prior generations of vets, but it is different from those who tout their “service records” to promote themselves.
My son was driving to grandma’s for Christmas in 2005. My husband in the front seat, my daughter and I were in the back. He was on leave for the holidays. We got pulled over, a little over the speed limit. I told the state trooper it was his first Christmas home in 3 years. I said, “last year he was in Iraq, and the year before in boot camp.” He got off with a warning, but he was so upset with me saying he should not get any special breaks for being a Marine. GEEZ I raised a monster!! Not really.
What could possibly be driving this measurable change over the last two days? Hmmmmmm.
Come on Freepers let's hit those ping and email lists!
