TIME TO GET OUT THE "TAR AND FEATHERS"
FIND OUT WHY OUR PARALYZED VETS NEED "BATHROOM GUARDS" AT AWARD DINNERS
By G. Duff
Looking the the articles today, I find one complaining about how veterans are denied their jobs when they come back from Iraq and another from the Paralyzed Veterans of America thanking vets for their service and sacrifice. How could anyone say anything bad about a group that helps paralyzed veterans? Let me count the ways.
Recently, the Paralyzed Veterans of America gave an award to our Secretary of Labor, THE SAME EXACT PERSON WHO SPENDS ALL HER TIME LOBBYING AGAINST VETERANS AND FOR BUSINESS. SHE HAS COST MORE VETERANS THEIR JOBS THAN ANYONE IN HISTORY. WHAT COULD THE PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA BEEN THINKING???????????????????????
ANOTHER AWARD FROM THEM WAS TO SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS OF ALABAMA THANKING HIM FOR HIS HELP
THIS MANIAC HAS VOTED AGAINST EVERY BILL ASKING FOR HELP FOR VETERANS THAT HAS COME BEFORE HIM.
WHAT COULD PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA HAVE BEEN THINKING??????????????????????/
ANOTHER OF THEIR AWARDS WENT TO SENATOR "REST ROOM" LARRY CRAIG FOR SUPPORTING THE RIGHT OF VETERANS TO HIRE THEIR OWN LAWYERS WITH THEIR OWN MONEY TO FIGHT THE BUSH APPOINTEE COURT OF VETERANS APPEALS THAT NO VETERAN HAS YET WON A CASE IN…..
WHAT COULD PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA BEEN THINKING???????????????
PROJECT "VOTE SMART" GIVES "REST ROOM LARRY" AND THESE OTHER AWARD WINNERS A BIG FAT "0" WHEN IT COMES TO BACKING VETERANS. (http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=S0241103)
HOW CAN SUCH GREAT PEOPLE AS THE MEMBERSHIP OF "PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA" AND OTHER GROUPS HAVE SUCH TERRIBLE LEADERSHIP?
I am only singling out this group, today, because they are the ones that "stuck their heads out", so to speak. They also give awards to people who do help, especially people who support a "barrier free" environment.
However, they would support anyone willing to accept an award, no matter how twisted, how evil, based on the same assumption every veterans group has:
MEMBERS OF VETERANS GROUPS ARE ASSUMED TO BE STUPID, INSTITUTIONALIZED AND ILLITERATE BY THEIR "LEADERSHIP."
LEADERS OF VETERANS GROUPS ASSUME THEIR MEMBERSHIP, WITH THEIR PRIVATE DRINKING CLUBS AND "SPECIAL HATS" WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ANYONE WHO SPOUTS "SOAP BOX RELIGION" AND "REAR ESCHELON PATRIOTISM" AS LONG AS THEIR IS ENOUGH BIG MONEY FLOATING AROUND.
ITS TIME WE STARTED LOOKING SERIOUSLY ABOUT WHO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. WHAT ARE VETERANS GROUPS, ANYWAY?
ISN'T IT TRUE THAT VETERANS GROUPS ARE ALL SIMPLY PART OF THE WASHINGTON D.C. SPECIAL INTEREST CIRCUS THAT LIVES IN ITS OWN PLANET OF BIG MONEY, BIG SPENDING AND "FAT CATS" THAT KEEPS OUR GOVERNMENT LIVING BEYOND ITS MEANS ON PORK PROJECTS, USELESS WEAPONS AND ENDLESS WARS?
AS SOME OF US KNOW FROM STUDIES OF GROUP DYNAMICS, THE DECENT GOOD PEOPLE IN ANY GROUP ARE ALWAYS RUN OVER BY THE SELF SERVING AND AMBITIOUS.
HOW MANY VETERANS HAVE TO LOSE THEIR JOBS BEFORE A VETERANS GROUP WILL START ASKING QUESTIONS?
HOW MANY VETERANS HAVE TO LOSE THEIR HEALTH CARE BEFORE A VETERANS GROUP WILL START ASKING QUESTIONS?
HOW MANY CLINICS AND HOSPITALS WILL HAVE TO CLOSE, HOW MANY SERVICES ENDED, HOW MANY CO-PAYS INCREASED BEFORE A VETERANS GROUP WILL FINALLY ADMIT THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THE MANIACS WHO GET THEIR AWARDS ARE REALLY THE SNAKES THAT WE KNOW THEM TO BE?
FINALLY, AFTER YEARS OF DISAGREEMENT, THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAVE HAD ENOUGH. AMERICANS THREW OUT A PARTY THAT TRIED TO DESTROY OUR VETERANS. AMERICANS HAVE, AS A PEOPLE, DECIDED THEY DON'T TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT TO PICK ENEMIES OR FIGHT WARS WHEN BIG OIL AND BIG DEFENSE CONTRACTORS SEEM TO BE THE ONLY VOICE HEARD.
EVERY POLL SHOWS THAT PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE CHANGED AND ARE NOW ASKING THE HARD QUESTIONS.
WHY ARE VETERANS GROUPS STILL LIVING IN THEIR OWN PRIVATE LITTLE WORLD OF "FUNNY HATS" AND RIGHT WING SLOGANS?
WHAT SEEM TO BE THE QUALIFICATIONS TO RECEIVE AN AWARD FROM A VETERANS ORGANIZATION:
1. NEVER HAVING PURPOSEFULLY KILLED A VETERAN OR AT LEAST NOT BEING CONVICTED OF SUCH A CRIME
2. HAVING AN OFFICE IN WASHINGTON DC
3. FULL AND TOTAL SUPPORT OF THE BUSINESS LOBBY THAT OPPOSES VETERAN EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
4. FULL AND TOTAL SUPPORT OF THE MEDICAL LOBBY THAT PROFITS FROM KEEPING VETERANS AWAY FROM VA CARE AND IN THE PRIVATE "UNINSURED" SYSTEM
WHEN WILL ONE OF THEM, JUST ONE, STAND UP AND DEMAND IMPEACHMENT?
HOW MUCH OBSCENITY CAN BE IGNORED BEFORE THE LEADERSHIP OF THE VETERANS GROUPS JOINS THE REST OF AMERICA TO STAND UP FOR FREEDOM AND DECENCY?
