Bonehead, where is the bill to repeal Obamacare since you have been speaker and Mitch “turtle face” McDumbo was “elevated” to majority leader? You bragged about how many times you passed a bill while the Senate was in RAT hands—over 30 times—yet now you have done nothing to force Obama to veto a bill which you and the senate can pass. You are a fraud Bonehead and you will go the way of Cantor. Start looking over your shoulder, you will be “Cantorized.”

Boehner is guilty of political cowardice.

This is why the Republic Party today is not the party of Reagan. Reagan’s biggest mistake was to make Bush his VP.

So you’d dig up the thousands of Confederate soldiers who are buried there too, I suppose.

In a National Cemetery there is a place for a Confederate
flag on the marker of a Confederate soldier.
In my house there is a place for a Battle Flag because
my ancestors fought under it, they never owned slaves.
Try and take it down and you will be on the fighting
side of ME.

The war has been over for 150 years, get over the hatred.

The gospel according to John. Remove the Confederate battle flag that so many soldiers fought under. Maybe next he will demand that all of the Confederate memorials be removed from the Civil War battlefields? Hell let’s go one step farther and dig up all of the Confederate soldiers, whip them, incinerate them, and bury the remains at sea! Would that make jackasses like John Boehner happy?

Yep...and dig up all them Johnnie Rebs while you are at it.

Truthfully...lots of people fought for the south and returned to the reassembled country after the war.

I have never given this much thought to the Confederate flag before this. It’s getting a little bit crazy, imho.

I don't find that particularly troubling. I'm looking for a U.S. National Cemetery where a 60'x 40' Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is being flown from the standard out in front of the facility, alongside or in place of the American flag.

If you can show us any pictures like that, I may have to revisit this issue.

So they’re not trying to ban graveside flags as those in post #31?

Boner has been almost as big a disaster as the pResident.

Is it true his daughter ran off with a Rastafarian because of his drinking?
