Apparently Congress failing to make sure military death benefits for families of soldiers killed overseas would be paid out during the government shut wasn't a big enough disgrace for lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Here we are two months later and Democrats have blocked an amendment that would restore $6 billion in cuts to military retirement pensions over the next 10 years.

Those compassionate dems at it again. Here are folks that were willing to give their lives for this country and the clowns in d.c. think they're not worth much.

Another horse to be ridden to the White House in 2016. In the meantime this should be used up and down the ticket.

That battle was lost the moment Ryan caved, like a nice GOPe’er that he is.

We are no longer The UNITED States Of America. Come on, let’s get real. Change the name to Democratland. Hail Democratland! They sure seem a lot like the Nazi party, but what the heck. Hail Democratland! We eagerly await your concentration camps!

Any America loving president would send it straight to the shredder. Ergo, it’ll get signed. Who cares about the stupid military people anyway? Uh, that would be a whole lot of us. The “lyin’ king” only pretends to care when the cameras are around. Unless, of course, they are capable of holding an umbrella.
