Be A Marblehead

clipped from rightwingnuthouse.com Two Hundred and Thirty One years ago yesterday, a barefoot, ill-clad army of 2,000 men crossed the ice choked Delaware River to surprise the Hessians at Trenton, giving George Washington his most important victory in the cause of American independence. The story of how that victory came about is instructive to the cause of Fred Thompson’s campaign for the presidency and the reason for this blogburst today. Not because Fred resembles George Washington in any way or that a Thompson presidency would be as significant an event in history as the American revolution. But because when the chips were down and the cause all but lost, a very small group of Americans helped make the difference between victory and defeat. But Washington had the perfect bunch to attempt the impossible; the seafaring men of the 14th Continental Regiment. Better known to us as “The Marblehead Regiment,”

Support Fred. I just did. Again.
