Well yesterday I caused a small little shit storm, inadvertently getting C&J front paged over at "Little Green Fools". Some how their small little cabal could not handle the fact that some of us disagree with their world view. What, a liberal served in the military? What, a liberal thinks the treatment of veterans by this administration is beyond contempt? What, a liberal thinks that those of us who voted for this group should be held accountable? So, after some introspection last night, something clicked with me...(After the flip)
To Wingnuts, Fetuses and Veterans are only good when they are serving their warped agenda. A fetus only matters when it is a fetus. Once it is born, it is of no use to them. Once a person has finished their service, they are of no use to them. Now, how the hell can I think that?
Easy, once a child is born, it is on its' own. The administration that they have installed, has gutted damn near every program designed to help get that fetus from childhood to Adulthood. Once it was born, it is no longer an asset to get votes from the pro-need-to-get-a-life crowd. So why should we use some tax dollars for things like Head Start, when we can give Exxon/Mobile that money?
It is the same with veterans. They are good when serving, as they make for great photo-ops; but when they have finished serving, screw them. You cannot show up at a VA hospital with a sock stuffed in your flight suit. So their attitude is, "Why spend money on them, it is their own fault that they got wounded or old." We need to cut them taxes for the millionaires, it is their money and why should they help out those served? I mean I worked hard to make that money at my daddy's munitions plant during the war.
Veteran Fetuses, only good to the right when serving their political agenda.
Special note to all candidates, representatives and congress people who visit here, how hard is it to introduce a bill that says not one more dime to anything until all veteran's programs and child care programs are fully funded? No amendments, no riders, no pork, just a bill to take care of our own. You just might actually be able to knock the false bravado out of the other side of the aisle and show who really supports the military and families.
I mean, if they support it, you get credit. If they don't..well there is the big ol' stick to beat them with.
