Homeless U.S. military veterans stand in line for free services at a "Stand Down" event hosted by the Department of Veterans Affairs on November 3, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. A week ahead of Veterans Day, more than 500 homeless veterans were expected to attend the event, where they received free medical care, winter clothing, employment assistance and were able to see a judge to resolve legal issues. Organizers say the homeless veterans population has surged in recent years with the high national unemployment rate. Stand Down is a military term that means a temporary stop of offensive military action.

A federal employee union president is wracked with regret because veterans likely died at a time when she knew about gross misconduct within her Department of Veterans Affairs facility but didn’t tell congressional leaders because they were Republicans.

“If I would’ve gone to him two years ago, who knows what kind of lives could’ve been saved,” Germaine Clarno told a radio interviewer Monday, referring to the Republican leader of a VA subcommittee. Clarno, a lifelong Democrat....

The only surprising thing is that Clarno publicly expressed regret.

Well, what does one expect from these people?

In my experience, a lot of hard core liberals are really no more than lying sociopaths.

Michael Savage is right - Liberalism really is a mental disease.

Indict these criminals, give them a fair trial then put them up in front of a military firing squad.

Unions are a cause unto their own.

Nothing is more important than the union.

Not the business, not the employees, not even the jobs are more important than the union.

People’s lives pale in relation to the importance to the union. When nurses go on strike, screw the patients. Too freakin’ bad.

It will sell everyone out, in the interest of the union, and if that union’s interests are centered in a political figure, it will watch it’s own members sold down the river, rather than sever that relationship which may be good for the union elsewhere.

Union members, you are suckers.

People like this used to be hanged.

The only hope for our Vets is Trump. He will kick ass and I can guarantee that those responsible will never be able to survive in America.

Trump for President.

On what basis? These "homeless vets" just all happened to have their DD214s readily available, eh? I'd be surprised if 5 of them were actual veterans.
