find housing, medical care and work. My mom (tea partiers, FOX news drone) posted some info about my aunts work on her Facebook page and every one of her tea party friends had to make some comment questioning the authenticity and/or need of the homeless vets my aunt worked with. It was so ugly.

when a security guy standing next to a stack of chairs at Red Rocks yelled at me "I'm so sick of you people and your problems, no I won't give you a chair". I showed him my brace to no avail.

My son's band was playing up top and there is no seating period.

I am lucky to have had worked for many years and get disability (moocher bucks) - have a husband who works and so I'm not one of the millions of disabled living in poverty.

They will tell you Vietnam Vets were all a bunch of drug addicts.

How their version of "going on patrol" was to go about 1000 yards from camp and "smoke dope" for hours on end.

Then they will say, "That's why we lost. We never should have drafted Hippies." Then the Right Wing asshole will go on about how they expect a free ride.

Point out the Vietnam Vets are all on Social Security now and they don't want to hear it.

They see a homeless vet and think "drugs" and then the hate bubbles up.

Right Wingers can't shut off their hate even when it's pointed out that it's misplaced.

Look how they still hate France for not going along with the lies about Iraq.
