Obama Not Making Any Friends With Veterans (The blowback will bring Zero down)
KXnet.com ^ | 3-16-09

Posted on 03/16/2009 9:47:34 PM PDT by utahson

A few days ago I posted about the Obama administration’s plan to rob soldiers of some of their medical benefits. Today the head of the American Legion (the nation’s largest veterans organization) paid a visit to Obama to talk about the issue, and he didn’t leave happy.Normally I am a staunch advocate of limited government and privatization. But in this instance we have troops who served their country, often in awful war zones that left them scarred and maimed, and they did so with the assumption that medical care would be one of the benefits they’d receive as compensation. The government has no business trying to opt out of that.

Well, I’ve done all I intend to do to help you out, s.o.l.

I suggest you seek help elsewhere with your anger management problems.

But I do wish you well.

Adieu :)

“EEE, you were the head cheerleader with knee pads and all in Ron Paul’s name, trying to get people to vote third party. You helped elect Obama, so piss off.”

Since you joined in December ‘08, after the election, either you had another account that was banned, or you were lurking. If you were lurking, you allowed EEE to be the ‘head cheerleader’ without commenting, until AFTER the election. Judging by your comments here, I don’t believe you would do that.

So what was your other name?

Thanks to all you Obama voters, stay at home cry babies and third party voters for not voting to stop this man. If any of you are veterans that this will affect, how is this vote for change treating ya? You are responsible for this train wreck.

Thank you for self-identifying as a republican-first, or is it republican-only?

What soldier in his right mind would EVER go into combat, or even a slippery barracks shower, under The Loser's bright idea?

Must the freakin' Clueless One be on crack ALL the time?

Pretty curious for a new poster yourself, unless you had another screen name. Since you joined just little over a month ago and long after the election. Nope never been banned and been here a lot longer than you, unless you changed your screen name. Been here since March 2006 and you can research my posts to see what my former screen name was.

I saw the dangers of An Obama, Pelosi and Reid trio running everything and voted to stop them from their monopoly. I am a Republican and proud of it but was no fan on John McCain but did vote for him to stop Obama and get Sarah. How did you vote, curious one?

Your BDS makes you no better than someone like Code Pink. You both are deranged with hatred and use very little logic. You are as cancerous as them with your hatred and shortsightedness.

My disdain for this monster cannot be stated strongly enough. I must be careful.

We have a wacked out “conservative” talk show host here who voted for Obama because he theorized Obama was less dangerous than McCain.

Just a fine point:

They do not get “free” medical care, because they EARNED it. We made a deal when these guys and gals signed up. They did their part, now WE do ours.

The veterans ALREADY paid for their medical care!

What I want to say about our jug-eared president would get me banned so I will shut up now.

All conservatives must hang together first to get a conservative nominee and then to vote for the Republican in a general. To not stick together gives us Obamas. This is unconscionable. This man is plain evil. For as much as I disliked McCain, the more damage I see Obama doing to this country, the better my vote for McCain looks.

So you're saying that I should vote for a Republican simply because he or she is a Republican?

What if that Republican is more liberal than the corresponding Democrat?

To not stick together gives us Obamas.

Yes, let's stick together and elect more Vichy RINOs like Specter, Snowe, Collins, McCain, and Graham, so they can stab us in the back and hand us over to the leftists.

That's the ticket! /sarc

....we have Obama stickers on BMWs and MBZs here.

Crazy isn't it?

Do you know where he will be in OC tomorrow?

I would love to go and ask him to show me his COLB.

Your position reminds me of those who say they’d rather see the country get nuked than waterboard a terrorist.

Wise words--and truly spoken.

What, so anyone who dares question the Lord Bush is now deranged and illogical?

Well, I've got news for you: Bush was, is, and always will be a RINO turd.

Put down the RINO Kool-Aid, and stop trying to whitewash Bush's Big Government interventionism, both at home and abroad, lest you continue to convince folks that you are a Republican first and a conservative second.
