This is kind of SPAM, but I'd appreciate it being shared It's a post on my blog about the availability of liberal veteran tees in our shop.
Military Tees at The Wits End
The Wit's End has liberal veteran tee shirts available. Many people are under the mistaken impression that the military is one giant block of conservatives. That is not true at all. Admittedly, the ratio is in favor of the conservative elements, but there are a significant number of progressive military servicemembers and veterans. Part of the problem is that the conservative members are more vocal, and get most of the attention. This leads to the more liberal elements keeping their mouths shut because they believe that they are hopelessly outnumbered. These tees help get the word out that they are not alone, there are other liberal veterans and one of them is standing right in front of them as they read the shirt.

(64,948 posts)not very tech savvy and would like to avoid having any issues with our computer.
I wish I could be more helpful but right now, as seniors, we tend to get stressed about everything...health issues predominate now but coming soon will be the car issues, home repair issues, and sadly the computer issues.
You can probably understand my concern. I do hope you can get some real good help from the techies out there, or perhaps right here at DU in GD.

(16,190 posts)Well, my shops (There is an older one on Etsy with a lot more items) have many Liberal/Science/Secular items - I don't doubt that someone out there might be trying to cause problems by reporting me. However; I don't think I was being trolled by that guy, he was honestly working with me trying to figure things out.
