Someone should ask why we’re still in Afghanistan.

As far as I can see, all we're accomplishing is arming and training Muslims, while refusing to allow our troops to defend themselves when attacked.

There was an original purpose to this war, but it has long since come and gone.

Trust me, if they didn’t have this, NBC would have NEVER carried the story.

Wonder if he said it.

Like many of you, I’ve grown weary of hearing most of the pundits and politicians pussyfooting around this subject...

Hey, hey, Hey. Lets watch our language here, OK?  Be a little more delicate. Obamafooting is more discrete.

I am watching live on C-Span. Truly disgusting Dems shouting gimme gimme gimme. Cruz is impressive. He is trying to bring sanity to the rubber room.

Evidently they aren’t smart enough to know that the Tea Party doesn’t have any authority to stop such benefits, but their President does.

How many of our tens of millions of parasites had any payments delayed?

EBT riots would ensue. Dead soldiers don't riot.

The Obama/Reid government shutdown caused this.

I am running out of curse words.

Hussein isn’t about to make his moochers share the pain. His plan to redistribute the product of the labor of others to them, is what this whole thing is about in the first place. That, and further infringement of our freedom.

I think the congressional Republicans should start a fund and give generously perhaps they can shame some Rats to contribute, too.

> “It will be devastating,” Jerry said of the delay in the death gratuity. He said that he blamed Republicans and the Tea Party.

Trust me, if they didn’t have this, NBC would have NEVER carried the story.

Whar Jerry doesn’t know is that it was the Republicans who went to bat for soldiers to be paid during the shutown just a few days ago. The MSM is withholding crucial info like his to make the Republicans look bad on orders from the King.

Well I would assume.......but as I read it again, I realize the person they were interviewing is the STEP-GRANDFATHER of the deceased soldier. But I am guessing the SGF is a dedicated follower of Obama. NBC only used that interview, of course and not the other families. So that tells me the SGF has more love for a political agenda than love for his dead step grandson or he wouldn’t be concerned about blame at such a sad time.

The Left seems to enjoy these punitive measures while flaunting the potential of funding with the frivolous purchases.

Boehner and company are not being vocal enough.

“... why more of the wealthy captains of industry and capitalists – who ostensibly have the most to lose – haven’t spoken out in opposition.”

Most of the “captains of industry” want the government to take over their healthcare costs, most probably want single payer - they of course will not be part of that single payer system.

“It will be devastating,” Jerry said of the delay in the death gratuity. He said that he blamed Republicans and the Tea Party.

....and yet, when we pass (and we will) a bill that specifically funds these death benefits, the Democrats will veto it.... and the Propaganda Wing of the White House* will blame Republicans.

* Also known (less accurately) as the "American News Media".
