Moslem Obama helps some armies. Just not that of the USA.

al Qaeda for example.

They get GREAT health care. Immediate.
Then they are released to Qatar for daily massages
even if they are al Qaeda Generals.

This makes me sick to my stomach. Are we a nation of selfish, Godless, apathetic, corrupt, ignorant, a$$holes? Based on what I read/hear on the news everyday including commentary like from this poor vet, combined with personal interactions in my daily life I would say, for the most part, yes.

Can someone make it stop cause I wanna get off this ride.

The included photo portrays EXACTLY what MMalkin is describing:
The VA "representative" on the right-hand side has a laptop that reveals ^everything VA^ to him but absolutely NOTHING to the Vet who is looking for healthcare. As he (the VET on left-hand side) may explain his personal situation, the VA-rep can access his file and give him any type of interpretation/information required to (ostensibly) save the VA money/time/resources, etc.

Seriously! The VA guy on the right could be looking at a porn site while "helping" the VET on the left.

Quick follow-up: I don’t think that the VA representatives are a collection of lazy ne’re-do-wells that look at porn all day. What i observed in the photo was service group that has erected walls between what they provide and the people they provide that to.

The VA-Rep on the right is likely a very conscientious gummint employee looking to help as many US heroes as possible. The problem rises from the appearance.

GOP, big business and conservatives freak out when leftwing Dems take power and screw with the country??!!! How can this happen??!!!! Who do we blame?!!!! Try big business. When big business make profit decisions that destroy jobs in the US and the GOP brought off with campaign donations remain silent, how can one be surprise when the unemployed turn to the Dems who promise them redistribution of wealth?? Bank bailouts, flirting with corporate desire to increase H-1B, supporting off shoring of jobs to China and India, result permanent unemployment/under employment of middle class America. Trend began before Obama took power, but it intensified as Obama added to the misery with higher taxes, and regs plus Obamacare. Brat kicked Cantor’s butt because of job related issues due to Obamacare, illegal immigration and expanding H-1B workers at the expense of American workers, as well as giving everything to Wall Street and sending the bill/job losses to the taxpayers on Main Street. If the Tea Party cannot convince the GOP and corporate America to change, then the voters will turn to OWS who will employ violence and intimidation to the offending rich. Face reform or face violence. Every nation except the US faced a workers revolt, the ruling class in this country better brush up on these histories. Good decision they survive, bad decision they and their family will be hung from lamp posts. That is my 2 cents and prediction.

What? You expect government employees to work? Are you crazy? When I briefly worked for the government. I found most of them to be lazy, shiftless, lying, back stabbers, and that's the ones that actually show up. Then you have the ones who are either on leave of disability because they stubbed their toe on a desk. I just want to Thank the 60's radicals and Lyndon Johnson for all of this. I feel like I need prozac just to get through the day without climbing a water tower somewhere. All you low info types, keep sending your little creeps to Government school, they will take real good care of you when you get old. Trust us! ;)

Oh and let us not forget all the blacks the VA employees that can't spell cat if you spot them the c and the a. But boy are they snotty if you need to ask them to clean up. (WHICH IS THEIR DAMN JOB). 16.00 plus an hour btw.

“Are we a nation of selfish, Godless, apathetic, corrupt, ignorant, a$$holes?”

Yes. Like you mentioned, just look at your own personal interactions in life: many, if not most, “people” are first class a**holes. We can shield or insolate ourselves only so much: at some point, we have to interact with “them” at some level.

The older I get (and I’m not “old”), the less I like most people or being around them. And it seems like the rate of decline is increasing rapidly.

It really hits you just how gone it is here when you travel and come back. I see why most of the world hates Americans.

Barring extremely radical “solutions”, I don’t see any hope on the horizon.

My guess is that you did your FEDzilla work in a large urban area or a State Capital.

Act #1 of the Cletus Presidency: Recall and eliminate the Federal Executive-branch presence in the several States. No State offices or personnel related to the Executive Branch of Federal Government will continue in any single State. This action will preserve the autonomy of the member State and stay true to the intent of the Third Amendment to the Constitution.

A VA doctor questioned us about our satisfaction with VA.

It's like going to the DMV for your health care."

That's an accurate analogy. The VA healthcare system is what Obamacare will look like in full bloom as a government owned and operated single payer system.

You and me both. There’s only so much “take a deep breath, hold and exhale” you can do.

Have you noticed everyone has the “I’m right!” mentality? Everybody’s right.
So then, no one’s wrong?

If you ask most people that know me, they’ll tell you I’m fairly laid back, which I agree with. But, when stupid, smug ‘tards cross me, my first response is to go Hiroshima. I have no patience for G-D fools or their actions.

I tried, fed, state and local they ALL suck. Yes big city and state Capital. AGAIN They all sucked. Why get anything done when you can pick one case files and work on it ALL day? Even when nothing needs to be done. Then after a long alcohol soaked lunch, maybe we can stare at another file for the rest of the day!

Sadly, there are thousands who aspire to that ethic so they can say, “I gotsme a job with the gummint”.

Those we call “low information voters”.

This former Special Forces soldier and medic served his country for 25 years. He worked in the health care field managing military field medical clinics. "I know how health care is supposed to run, even in austere or low-budget environments," he says. And in his nightmarish, ongoing experience, the VA is an epic, deadly, monstrous failure. He minces no words: "They're getting billions of dollars, and they treat veterans like s-t. There's no accountability, no buy-in, among civilian unionized employees. We mean nothing to them.

Vets have long ago outlived their usefulness to agenda-driven socialists/totalitarians. Witness the VA. (consider how many better options could be available)

I have this "kid" working for me now. I am a third party contractor for a large corp. The corp only gives out 'need to know", info to me. But this little tard always wants to second guess me, because he knows so much he thinks.

I do not and need not explain everything to this little retard raised by his single mommy who let the little jerk tell her what to do. I am not having it! But the little genius can't remember to turn off a couple of monitors and which trash cans to set out for the cleaning crew!

What was that movie where Kevin Spacey was it? Just went off and started shooting people? I am close!
