A hardened heart is created by a thousand small cuts, all dismissed as of no consequence.
Very well said
Nothing that makes Obama or the DIMS look bad will last for very long in the media.
Lincoln lied when he mouthed the words,
“Of the people, by the people and for the people”
This government is in reality two branches.
The first is the elected branch that is;
“Of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers.
The second is the career paper pushers that is;
Of the bureaucrats, by the bureaucrats and for the bureaucrats.
That laves no room for anyone that is not part of a protected class. Especially the best among us.
Anyone?
Ever?

but protects the corrupt from you -
you know your nation is doomed."

I am crushed and appalled by this news. What drove a retired CPO, only 51 years old, to such a horrible end? The article does not say.
Lord, welcome him into Your kingdom. He knew not what he did.
I’ve been searching on the net for information regarding why this man chose to incinerate himself, and have found nothing. So far, there is nothing to indicate that he had sought treatment and been denied or anything. All I could find out is that he had severed 7 years in the Navy onboard a ship during the fist Gulf War.
There are many problems plaguing the VA, but it would be nice to know the entire story before leaping to the conclusion that it was the fault of the VA.
The hearts of American politicians are colder than a witch’s tit.
But someday they will pay a price. Not in my lifetime, probably, but they will pay a price.
I hate to be the one to say something like this, but if that plane that hit the Pentagon and killed people committed to defending this country, had instead hit Congress and killed a bunch of politicians dedicated to destroying the American people and our way of life, would very many people have shed a tear?
You Lincoln haters are pathetic
I think this is the first time I’ve read this. memory’s not the best.
Was this on all the networks? this is heartbreaking and should be a wake up call.
but it probably wont.
Another bloated, worthless system.
I don’t care what we spend to get our vets the best treatment, but we know so much is being wasted while something like 22 a day commit suicide.
If the Capitol had been obliterated on 9-11 and emergency elections held by all the states, America might have had a new Congressional majority madder than Hell at the Muslim world and ready to really go out & kick Mohammedan @zz and turn Mecca into a smoking crater.
My thoughts exactly.
Baltimorepoet: The muzzies wouldn't attack an area so rich with allies. That's why.
I know what you’re saying but, yes, people would have been upset. First, that building is splendid and secondly, it would have shocked people to tears, I think.
Like it or not the VA health care system is a preview of what the American health care system is becoming.
We all hear about how the poor peons have problems with the VA system. But, what about the health care provided to the senior NCOs and Officers after their retirement? Do any of them use the VA medical system or are their retirement checks large enough to enable them to avoid the VA and use other health care providers?
Like most politically caused problems nothing will happen until the upper ranks of the political establishment are affected and then all H*l* will break lose. Can you say Donald Trump?
The medical people at the VA are mostly OK.
It’s the administrative people, especially the executives, that are just horrible.
I am convinced that there is organized crime in the VA.
