(Newsmax) - President Obama and the Veterans Administration bureaucracy are already sabotaging the VA reform law passed in August. The ink is barely dry on the 8.6 million “Choice Cards” that supposedly allow vets to see a doctor outside the delay-plagued system.

The Democrat Party is fine with killing the innocent unborn. The Democrat Party, for whatever reason, views Veterans as their enemy. How do you think they would like to treat the Veterans?
