Unreal. They spew out their vile garbage and name calling but give them a taste of their own medicine and they go berserk.

They have given me Post Traumatic Liberal Stress Disorder (PTLSD).

I am going to DC to march against the hippies dirt bags. I put together a anti-hippie liberal medical kit in case one touches me. Clorox wipes, 3 OZ of Bleach, big can of Lysol, and a quart of Solvent Degreaser.

It'll be fun.

These are the people who I will be protesting against:

and

In March, some hippy walked by me with a white flag that had a peace sign on it. I said, "look, it is the footprint of the American Chicken (referring to his peace sign). He stopped and said, "are you calling me a chicken". I took a step towards him so I could get my message across and said, 'yes and you better move on dot org'. He looked around and found himself nearly surrounded by a battalion of Troop Supporters. He took my advice and moved on dot org. A little later I turned around and this lady was standing behind me:

this is unreal - it needs to be on You Tube for wider distribution - let people see just what jackasses are in control of our country. They acted like a pack of baboons.

The Speaker gaveled them silent - and ordered them to “suspend” - but he also ordered her to ‘suspend’ and then what is that word-over at the end saying something about being disciplined for the words???

REid, Pelosi, et al can call our President and everyone else any vile name they want - Murtha can stand there and call our troops murders - and no ‘discipline’ - help me out here, why am I not understanding?

You understand! It is not you. It is the commie traitors in our media, in the demoratic party and even some RINOs in the Republican Party. Don't you go blaming yourself for their commie treasonous actions.

We are at war and a person can not stand in strong support of the war and use strong language? You are right, they do it all the time. Sad thing is the spineless Republicans won't stand up against them in some cases. Where is the Zell Miller Democrat? Where is the John F Kennedy Democrat who said "Let every Nation know"?

It aint us, maine. It is the freaks who will make the 60s look like the 50s, if they had it their way.

What I am getting at is their expressing to us how much it means to them to get letters, packages from home. I have been derelict in sending packages but that is abruptly changing.

Great~

I get one off to my grandson -Airborne Task Force, Afghanistan - every 2-4 weeks.

Some of the things m ost useful - wet wipes and gum - Not a lot of access to water for showers and brushing teeth (NOTE: make sure gum is NOT sugar-free! ARtificial sweeteners, like Aspartame, can be deadly in hot weather = research it! - and High Fructose Corn Syrup is not an innocent, natural ingredient but a man made concoction that is finally being recognized for the poison it is (GOOGLE "High Fructose Corn Syrup banned" and you'll go back to sugar. Read the ingredients on anything that has a sweetener in it and opt for sugar, the least damaging.

I also send candy - with sugar - that won't melt in the 100+ heat, like gummy bears, licorice, hard candy.

Insect repellent is vital - the sand flies can cause serious medical problems. NO AERESOL - cannot send aerosol cans in mail. There is also a great repellent they can use on their clothes, called Permethrin

http://bitesandstingsonline.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=BASO&Category_Code=IR

They also love books to read - (My grandson is catching up on the Classics ) paperback editions as they wont be able to hang onto them from place to place. They read and pass on. (I buy mostly on Amazon, taking advantage of their "new and used" for pennies on the dollar.Another really useful thing: zip-lock baggies! Keeps the bugs and the fine sand powder out of things.

I also look for silly little things just for chuckles - like one, I sent one of those tiny little hand held fans that run on a AA battery. I'm sure it doesn't do much against the oppressive heat - but good for a laugh.

socks and underwear - dark color only: green, blue, brown, black. And my grandson said he had no pillow - I sent a travel pillow - easier to carry around.

These are some of the things they can use - and FAMILY PHOTOS, for sending to the ones you know.

But there are always some troops without families or anyone to get boxes/mail from. They need to know we care!

Pete if you are still serving, and your unit would like some letters and every once in awhile a gift bag. Let me know. Every year my students adopt some units.

Last year we sent letters and gift bags to the troops guarding the terrorist at Club Gitmo.

We also sent some cards and gift bags to a platoon in Iraq.
