Ben Shapiro's latest essay is about how lousy we liberals are. Apparently the most generous states are the red states, so that proves that we liberals like to give away other people's money. Also, he mocks the idea that one can oppose the war and support the troops. He then challanges liberals to prove their support to the troops by donating to non profit organizations to suppor the troops.
Now let me take a moment to say that I think both these organizations are good. I felt a bit better about Operation Gratitude, and so they got my money. But the other organization, the Freedom Alliance, might be just as good. They just made the unfortunate choice of putting Oliver North on their front page, which makes me suspect this non-partisan organization might not be completely non-partisan.
But as for Ben's Challenge, if every anti war liberal sent these organizations money, well, Ben and his allies on the right would still be questioning the patriotism of anybody foolish enough to question President Bush. The only way liberals can really get the far right to like them is if they (we) become conservative. I don't know about my fellow liberals, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen in my case.
