WHAT???????????????

i'm trying to tone down my postings on the town hall meetings and the like. there are just far too many. i just chose NOT to post something about sen grassley (in my most humble opinion) choosing to ignore (a not so) veiled threat against president obama. i HAD to post this though. it's beyond freedom and dignity

and someone please point out who originally thought a national day of service was a cool thing....PLEASE (because i guess helping others is socialistic or communistic or fascist. it's sure NOT CHRISTIAN is it?)
