Just disgusting isn't half of it. Of all the things not to fund ---- death benefits to the families of our fallen soldiers ?

When is someone going to start impeachment proceedings.

"“It will be devastating,” Jerry said of the delay in the death gratuity. He said that he blamed Republicans and the Tea Party." And yet, NBC couldn't stop from sticking this in.

Which agency paid $45,000 for a mechanical bull today?

‘Angrier’ Mitchell? I wonder if she even realizes that the only people who will really be ticked off about this will be those inclined to conservative causes and will blame Angrier’s king first and foremost.

Eff Obama. Has someone started a replacement fund for the families of these fallen heroes? I’ll contribute and I’m sure so many other patriots would contribute that modest individual amounts would generate a huge fund to take care of these families.

Like many of you, I’ve grown weary of hearing most of the pundits and politicians pussyfooting around this subject. With the exception of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee and a handful of others on the conservative side, none have come right out and said what every THINKING American KNOWS!

The fight over Obamacare is about stopping the unvetted, unqualified, narcissistic megalomaniacal former community organizer and tyrant in the White House from bringing about his “transformation of America”. That phrase was and is code among his dumbed down and/or uninformed supporters for creating a despotic Marxist redistributionist Utopia. That it has failed everywhere it has been attempted and left misery and death in its wake is of no concern to them. The magic Obama can make it finally work.

One element that may puzzle some of you is why more of the wealthy captains of industry and capitalists – who ostensibly have the most to lose – haven’t spoken out in opposition.

Two reasons (there may be more):
1. They believe they will be princes in the new order, their lives of wealth and ease little affected by the distress inflicted on the us down here, the mass of the great unwashed. They really should restudy the histories of those who collaborated with other tyrants who, once in firm control, dispatched those who had the resources and intellect to topple the new “king” once the inclination to do so took hold of them.
2. During the Cold War, the head of Citibank, one Walter Wriston, was asked why his New York based organization continued to provide financing to the tyrants running the Soviet Union and the slave states the USSR dominated. He replied that it made little difference to him what sort of government these nations had and his only concern was “Can they pay their bills?”

The WWII era Norwegians coined a real world name for those folks: Quisling.

Hannity said that a few minutes ago.

It’s all about generating the maximum amount of pain everywhere. And then they’ll come back and say: “Next time you’ll just do as we say or it will be worse... Much, much WORSE.

....80% of Americans can relate to a family who has lost someone in our recent history..ODUNGO has put those families front and center. It's time to start calling RAT senators and Congressmen and asking "what the hell are YOU doing stopping payments to devastated families of our soldiers?" This comes from YOUR leader President OBAMA"

But at least they could afford $46,000 for a mechanical bull and $186,000 for art work.

Republicans again insisted on a one-year delay in the federal health care law known as Obamacare Democrats continued to refuse to consider House measures which fully fund the government in talks on how to make a deal on the budget and restore the government to full operation.

Fixed for accuracy. Clearly NBC needs the help, as it always does.

Maybe “Jerry” should ask why there is money to fund the Obamacare website, which doesn’t work, but there is no money for this benefit?

How many of our tens of millions of parasites had any payments delayed?

Trust me, if they didn’t have this, NBC would have NEVER carried the story.
