Applying for benefits these days requires people to be online. I’ve heard government-funded nonprofit groups award each arriving family with a laptop with a browser set up with the links to the appropriate websites — all in Spanish, of course. That way, they all get onto welfare and Obamacare more easily.

They also get a free luxury resort to stay in until they get settled: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/07/obama-to-pay-illegal-aliens-give-all-you-can-eat-meals-free-cable-tv-lawyers-medical-dental/

What was that stupid bumper sticker?

It will be a great day when school shave all the money they need and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber?

They are getting close.

All because of Sequestration, which Obama first floated and Bonehead Boehner agreed to, so now the Republicans are blamed for it, which means at least half the GOP caucus doesn’t even want to bring the subject up.

Boehner is such a feckless, useless limp “leader.”

but we have enough money to advertise to invaders south of our border about the freebies they will be given once they invade us and they get all those freebies at the expense of legal Americans and ..................the military.

Aren’t officers being removed if they don’t actively condone homosexuality?

Of course, our leaders say that global warming is our number one security concern.

It’s not about “condoning” anything, it’s more like, treating everyone with fairness, dignity and respect. That said, it’s a lot harder than you would think to do that.

Unfortunately, that video describes Canada about 20 years ago. It has become MUCH worse here, now. As a WASP, whose anscestors chose King George rather than General George in that little spat that began in 1776, my family are descendents of United Empire Loyalists, who settled this country (Canada) after having been tossed out after the Treaty of Paris. Now, I’m a second class citizen. O’Venal is trying to do that in the States.

The Obama administration just announced a 40,000 reduction in the Army’s ranks.

By what authority? He can recommend or request it but Congress is the only one who sets End Troop Strengths not POTUS.

We haven’t seen a pro-military take care of the troops POTUS since Reagan left office. Nor such as a Secretary of Defense either for that matter.

I fear that most of those who leave will be the best of the troops. More and more veteran officers are becoming discouraged by what’s happening to it.

It may take decades for the nation to recover from the Obama Presidency, even if Republicans do win the White House.
