I wrote a long diatribe in response to this article. I just deleted it in favor of simply expressing my disgust.

I served for 20 years. I got a good deal in the end. In my military career, there were repeated attempts on my life and those around me. I took no disability, chocking up my hearing loss and painfull knees...and some bad dreams to age and experience. I never considered these incidents as somethng for which I should gain financially, beyond my regular benefits. My ears still friggin ring to this day.

I also led a good number of young men in very diffcult situations, doing my best to keep them from screwing up thier lives by succumbing to the many frustrations brought on by the R.O.P. I did well, and I gained something for my family.

Now, under this administration, I see it can simply be taken away, little by little, with no repercussions at all.

I’m willing to pitch in. I’m willing to pay more. But, an increase of nearly 100% for healthcare is not just more, it’s an insult to my very existence and those who served beside me. I have nothing but disgust for this President and his minions.

My own brother is one of those with the O sticker. It’s like talking to a brick wall. He just shuts down when I hit him with legitimate, factual questions abou his hero. In his world the only evil has an (R) next to thier names.

After researching our founding fathers and the history of the doctrine of separation of church and state, I studied the Toleration Act of 1649, of Maryland and also similarily presented in 1610 in Virginia, shown complete at http://oll.libertyfund.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1048&Itemid=264 .

I was impressed how both and the historical backdrop of the Separation of Church and State from the 1400s was premised upon a Christian State.

Only recently in the last 50 years has the American population come to even accept any notion that our State is not premised upon a Christian people.

In this last decade to 20 years, a contagion has spread further to now consider religion in the 1st Amendment to now also include any antiChristian religion.

Now the consequence of AntiChristian toleration becomes evident in the vile AntiChristian promotion by Obama. Every aspect of Christian virtue is made a target of his loathing attack, including contract law, and the social contract between the government and the governed.

While believers in Christ are indwelt by the Mystery of the Church, his soul is indwelt by the mystery of iniquity.

I don't believe we have the generals/admirals with enough character to fight this.....when you get up in their ranks, its all about the money, the pensions, and the connections awaiting....

no character means no country...

Some people would vote for The Dictator even as they cashed their final military paycheck and headed out for the unemployment line. Astonishing.

The terrorists at Gitmo get the finest medical care gratis....and now a new soccer field and other amenities are in the hopper to relieve the monotony, stress and various neurosis resulting from their confinement.

Thanks to Allah-in-Chief Barack Bin Hussein Bin Obama our own American troops can pound sand.
