TAKING A STAND AGAINST SELF-SERVING VETERANS

(From September 1, 2010)

A few weeks ago, patriotic Republicans finally took a stand against the lazy *disabled* September 11 First Responders by blocking a vote that would "provide medical monitoring to those (first responders) exposed to toxins at Ground Zero (and) bolster treatment at specialized centers for those afflicted by toxins on 9/11."

They did that because they were standing up for the little-man.  And by 'little-man' I mean multi-billion dollar foreign corporations.

More recently, the GOP took a stand against the entitlement-hungry police, firefighters and schoolteachers of America by voting en-mass against emergency funding that would allow them to stay on the job, protecting and educating us.

They did this because, as John Boehner said:  "The American people don't want more Washington 'stimulus' spending - especially in the form of a pay-off to union bosses and liberal special interests." 

And thank Beck they did these.  These were compassionate, dignified, and honorable acts befitting the Lord and Savior of all greedy people, Big-Love himself.

Today, GOP'ers are finally beginning to stand up to the lazy Veterans of our glorious wars. John Boehner wants to rescind the remaining stimulus funds earmarked for the Department of Veterans, saving over a billion patriotic dollars from falling into the hands of grubby, Agent Orange affected, self-entitled Veterans.

According to ThinkProgress, the money was earmarked for; "renovating, repairing, and upgrading veterans' hospitals across the country, including one in Boehner's home state of Ohio. The money is also being used to improve claims processing units for veteran health benefits (by hiring more workers and upgrading equipment). The stimulus also provided $250 payments to disabled veterans and gave private sector employers a tax credit for hiring unemployed vets." 

Alan 'Million Teet' Simpson, patriotic veteran, Republican, member of George W. Bush's triumphant Iraq Study Group,  and lately the vice chair of the Obama administration's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform clarified the GOP position by stating;

"The irony (is) that the veterans who saved this country are now, in a way, not helping us to save the country in this fiscal mess,"

(Am I the only one that thinks that the REAL irony of that statement is that Simpson - a vet and fiscal 'expert' is actually one of the people NOT helping save the country from this fiscal mess?)

Simpson seems to think that Vietnam Vets suffering from Agent Orange-induced neurological disease like Parkinson's are somehow bilking the nation.  I wonder if Simpson would prefer if limbless returning Iraq veterans used old plungers as prosthetics instead of the expensive aluminum ones their getting at Walter Reed now?

This must be the restoration of honor that Glen Beck and Sarah Palin were talking about this weekend  - Making greed and selfishness honorable again.

So, we can add cops, firemen, teachers, and veterans to the list of self-serving looters, including Hispanics, orphans, unwed mothers, homosexuals, and all the other Obama-ites who are slowly destroying the nation.  Imagine how much better a place this country would be without cops, firemen, teacher, soldiers, Hispanics, orphans, and homos.   Thankfully we have defenders of liberty and warriors against Statism like Orange-Man, Big Love, Mama Grizzly and Million-Teets doing the right thing for America
