Barbara Boxer wrote a letter that helped code pink give $600,000 to the very people killing our military men and women
This is one of those stories that make you wag your head and it is found over at Big Government. But before we get to that, listen to Dennis Prager commenting on this trip at the time:
Here is part of the larger post:
On October 12, Scott Swett at the American Thinker reported that Senator Barabara Boxer (D-CA) along with Representatives Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Henry Waxman (D-CA) secured diplomatic courtesy letters that allowed anti-American Code Pink activists to travel to Fallujah, Iraq. The radicals traveled to Fallujah in late 2004 to donate $600,000 worth of humanitarian aid to the people who had just killed 51 Americans and wounded 560 more earlier that month. Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah was the heaviest US urban combat since the Vietnam War.
Later in this post over at Big Government, we read this:
Code Pink’s leaders had just returned from Fallujah, Iraq, where 51 Americans had been killed and 560 wounded in the US Marines’ heaviest urban combat since the Vietnam War. Code Pink delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies to the very insurgents the Marines had been fighting against – quite literally giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies in a time of war. As noted in Islam Online, a diplomatic courtesy letter from Barbara Boxer helped make the trip possible.
SE Cupp~This is why feminism is completely irrelevant today-because it completely misconstrues
Behar shows how much of an idiot she is in this clip. Michelle Bachman has raised 5-kids and fostered 23 and Behar says she’s against children? So now the mantra is if you aren’t for S-Chip or Obama-Care you are against children? What a tyranny of thought. Its sad that this is all the Left has. Plus my favorite atheist is in the trenches in this one. For more (commentary and written exchange) go to NewsBusters.

Embarrassing Photo Surfaces of Libby Mitchell
Libertarian Republican h/t – connected with: Who Is This Woman and What Is She Holding?
[In this video, Democrat Libby Mitchell] can be heard in the video saying: “As Governor you have to be respectful of the President… at all times.”
LePage shot back saying he had seen a photo of Mitchell holding a sign saying George Bush was an “International Terrorist.” In the video, Mitchell completely denies such a photo exists. The next day, a right-leaning blog As Maine goes… published the photo. Now, all of Maine’s media (and New England) is abuzz over Mitchell’s blunder. Mitchell issued a statement of apology late yesterday.

Big Government & Founding Bloggers h/t:
acquitted! two christians are not charged with eating lunch
From, The Underground:
An Algerian court acquitted recently two Christians who were arrested for eating their lunch in the daytime during Ramadan.
A judge in a court at Ain el Hamman, about 93 miles east of the capital city, Algiers, quashed the case against Salem Fellak, 34, and Hocine Hocini, 33, saying that “no article (of law) provides for a legal pursuit” against them, according to The Star.
Fellak and Hocini were working on a building site last August when the incident occurred. During lunch hour, they ate at a discreet corner of the site, The Star said. However, they were arrested and charged with offending public morals, Reuters reported.
Prosecutors were requesting for a prison sentence of three years each for the Christians, BBC News said. However, Hocini and Fellak noted that they ate in a nonpublic place. Their lawyer added, “Algeria has ratified international conventions on the freedom of religion” and called the charges “a violation pure and simple of the constitution,” The Star reported.
As the verdict was read, a group of some seven Protestant Christians who were standing on the courthouse steps shouted, “Hallelujah!” Fallek told Reuters, “I am happy. I have not done anything wrong. I am a Christian and I do not fast.”
Some critics noted that although the government supports free practice of religion, minority faiths are often subject to pressure, Reuters said. Two similar cases will be heard in the coming weeks, according to BBC News.
While Islam is the main religion in Algeria, there are about 11,000 Christians, mostly protestants, among its population of 36 million, the ministry of religious affairs told BBC News
