Just keeping this one short and sweet.
FREE GILAD SHALIT!!!
For 6 years now, Gilad Shalit, the now 25 year old IDF soldier, has been help captive by the terrorist organization, Hamas, which is the Palestinian government head.
Last time I checked, when you kept a "Prisoner of War" you were at war and if the Palestinian Authority wants a war, give Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a call, and the IDF will come GET Gilad.
How are you involved in this you may ask?
The US Government, by the summer of 2006, had given over 2.3 billion dollars to the quasi-nation state of Palestine in foreign aid, obviously it has increased by now.
So your tax dollars are going to a known terror group that is holding a 25 year old boy hostage because it can't accept that the Jews have a right to be in their homeland.
Call your Congress folks, tell them not to deal with terrorists and kidnappers. Tell them to defund the PLO and Hamas.
And while you're at it, say a little prayer for our brother Gilad.
Come home soon buddy, we love you!

Chris Brown's (empty) Soapbox
Hey Chris Brown, Matt Damon called, he wants his facade of knowledge back.
I woke up this morning and was checking through the twitter world, seeing if any dictators had been ousted, or global terrorists killed, or if there was still an East Coast of the United States after the earthquake, hurricane, and probably some comet on a collision course for Atlanta...and what do I find? Our good friend Chris Brown has decided to throw his hat into the policy ring and tell the teeny bopping citizens of United States that Artists (obviously the definition of this word has considerably changed) have the power to change the health care system.
Check this insanity out:
"@chrisbrown: Imagine if we as artist stopped doing music until the government agreed to FREE HEALTHCARE! Been on my mind."
Now, after I rolled around on the floor laughing for a while, I decided I couldn't let this poor example of a "thought" go without answering.
I will say this, Chris Brown is right that artists (Actual ones, not Chris Brown) could go on a "strike" and seriously change the shape of the Government due to a movement within the people..I do not doubt that one bit. In some cases, it might even be an effective tool. However, musicians would have to make sure their goal is REALISTIC and not some Liberal Utopian belief.
My friend and fellow activist, Justin Pizzulli, (check out his blog) mentioned Brown's tweet and said it had been on his(Justin's) mind that Doctors should quit serving patients until musicians agreed to free music.
Well that is a crazy thought, right? This Pizzulli guy and these other racist tea party terrorists must hate humanity and only care about wealth...that has to be it.
Allow me to knock you head-in-the-clouds, Chris Brown fans off of your metaphorical High Horse..Free Healthcare is an oxymoron.
More so, free care of any kind is an oxymoron.
Using the same logic:
Children deserve to be taken care of, therefore daycare services should be free, and baby sitters should not be paid.
Also, it is in the best interest of a community that grass should mowed regularly to maintain safety and pest control, therefore lawn care services should be free and people who cut grass for a living should not be paid.
Need I go on?
Chances are, if you are a Chris Brown fan you use one of the two above examples to make money (probably to buy more Chris Brown cd's) So, now that Chris's liberal communistic policies are in your pocket, how do you feel about them?
Oh, whats that? You think doctors, grass cutters, and babysitters should still be paid for their services but the government should take CARE of this and subsidize(a fancy liberal word for "takeover") the payment of these professions?
Funny you say that.
Civics lesson!!!
Government is you and you are government.
Therefore, government money is your money, and if government is going to cover everyone's healthcare bills, lawn services and day care costs, its going to have to take more of your money to pay for it...therefore, you are paying more in taxes and it suddenly doesn't sound so free anymore.
Also, they are probably going to pay you less so we can save money to cover all of the other government bills from the other things they have "subsidized" (there's that pesky liberal word again) such as education, retirement, and nation building..to name a few.
Therefore, more people, including yourself, are going to be less likely to do these jobs, causing an overload of work on the brave souls that still do these jobs which will result in long lines, poor service, and care lacking in value.
Sounds like a good plan eh?
So tweet our good friend Chris Brown, tell him that since he is wealthy, he will be able to afford you healthcare bills. So you'll just have the bills forwarded to him. That would be free for you and Chris could finally feel good about himself and get some sleep at night knowing he helped someone out of the evil healthcare system instead of putting them in it. (Rihanna joke)
Oh, indeed, I can "run it"....
