It was all laid out by the Hildabeast so it's not at all surprising to find this acolyte of the Antichrist doing the same thing.

Just a minor edit, happy to help.

I hope Drudge posts this article. I really want people to see what a communist this POS really is.
This type of thing will kill re-enlistments and enlistments, and cause the commie to bring back the draft. Probably in his plans anyway.
I also hope and pray he fails.

I am not sure there would be an organized resistance of any kind no matter what they do. I think they could announce the rounding up of conservative christians for concentration camps and no real action would be made to stop it

Needs repeated. Sad but true. Just keep paying those taxes and don't say anything nasty about the uncontitutional people and their actions.

I’m still annoyed at the Veterans’s preference. The last two guys we hired were forced on us because of their Vet status and, as good as folks as they are, and really, I do like them a lot, they are dumb as dirt. We all look at each other and say “these guys were allowed to play with guns?” This is job that requires a fairly large amount of smarts and well, one guy didn’t know how to use a computer...at all... but is expected to award construction contracts.

If the Vet Preference is going to be used, make sure the Vet really is qualified for the job. Then I could support it all the way.

Classless and clueless.

Of course, this is what we get when we have the administration with the least amount of Military experience, in the history of our Country.

We know 0bama hates our Country and it’s military, but can’t he at least, do better at faking it?

I can see charging veterans for NON SERVICE RELATED health issues, but FGS, they want to charge them for SERVICE RELATED issues?

And there is omarosa herself talking to the military wives at Ft. Bragg.

Naw, Obama is not really up to the job. That’s why the “acolyte”. We’ll face the real thing soon enough.

I know; but then again, none of my non-Veteran coworkers can use a computer either.

That’s when I became OK with Vet preference. Either federal hiring is just really bad, or people are just really dumb. Probably both.

So, first he came for Rush; then he came for the Jews; then he came for the service related disabled veterans; then......

Finally, there was no one left but Michelle.

Wonder if Shishenski is going to stand up to Il Douche like he did to Rummy?

I am employed with health insurance. When I go to the VA they routinely bill my private carrier.

The same is true for active duty dependents using military facilities.
