Sen. Barbara Mikulski will receive Medal of Freedom [why??]
Baltimore Sun ^ | 11/16/15 | John Fritze

 Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, the dean of Maryland's congressional delegation, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom next week, the White House said Monday.

The medal, the nation's highest civilian honor, will be awarded to Mikulski for her work on health research, women's issues, science funding and making higher education more affordable, the White House said. Mikulski is the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, and is the longest-serving woman in Congress.

First elected to the Senate in 1986, Mikulski shook up the state's political establishment once again this year by announcing her retirement in 2017. That decision has set off one of the most competitive Democratic Senate primaries in the nation.

She increased her “freedom” in Congress while curtailing ours.

Well, if they based it who the ugliest Senator is, she's a definite runaway.

Otherwise, she's just another turd in the septic tank.

Is the Medal of Freedom actually supposed to mean something?

Each reason listed for her to get the award, amounts to a failure. Oh wait, there’s killing the unborn - she was a success at helping get that accomplished.

No, she’s a democrat with “good intentions” -— no matter how many people die or are enslaved.
