I spent some more time at the Freedom Alliance and found, besides a nice article by Oliver North (who's article starts out "‘Tis the season to be jolly. Unless you’re a Democrat, that is."), another tearing down the United Nations. So it is a conservative partisan site.
To recap; Ben Shapiro berated anti-war Liberals for not supporting our troupes then directs them to a partisan conservative site and asks them to make a donation.
So in response, i'm going to suggest that Ben and all other Conservatives donate to Moveon.Org. I think that anybody who loves our soldiers and doesn't want to see them used in the reckless, boneheaded manner that President Bush and his buddies have pioneered, they should want to support an organization to get President Bush out of power. If they don't want to donate to Moveon.org, well, it just shows that they don't love our troops.
Oh wait, Moveon is a partisan liberal website. So asking them to support it in the name of the troops would be hypocritical.
To sum up, if you want to support the troops--always a good idea--send money to Operation Gratitude. If you want to support conservatism, under the theory that some of the money might to go the troops, send money to the Freedom Alliance. If you want to support liberalism, send money to Moveon.org.
