"Patriotism, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit it is the first." -- Ambrose Bierce

If the Commander in Chief hadn't been advocating for veteran care, the Republicans would have voted in favor of expanded funding for the VA, even if it wasn't paid for. By being for veterans, Obama tricked the Republicans into voting against veterans! Q to the E to the Derp, baby!

I hope all you men and women at the American Legion Post keep this in mind when November rolls around.
