More Republican Shame

On Monday, Jan. 29, a dedication ceremony to open the Center for the Intrepid took place in San Antonio, Texas.

The Center for the Intrepid (CI) is a brand new, beyond state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility designed and built primarily for combat veterans who have given a limb or limbs, as well as those who incurred brain and other debilitating injuries, in service to us, their fellow Americans.

In March, 2003 when the current Regime decided to illegally invade Iraq Lame Dubya, the Dick Cheney, Rummy, Paul Wolfowitz and the rest of the Fascisti thugs didn’t give a rat’s buttocks about the extreme cost, whether in human lives, suffering or money.

The very last thing any of them would have considered – and apparently not one of them did – was improvement in the VA and military hospital systems.

What the Regime and its rubber-stamp Republican Congress did was precisely the opposite; funding for medical care of our returning troops was actually reduced. The GOP and its K Street Mafia were too busy filling orders for pork to worry about heroic GIs.

The shame of the United States of America, the richest and most powerful Nation on Earth, the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, our utter disgrace is that an elected Congress, in the 21st Century, could not scrape together a measly $50 million to pay for this Center.

We are forced to piss away billions every week on a wholly unnecessary war in Iraq, to satisfy the whims of the treasonous madman George W. Bush and his treacherous overlord, the Dick Cheney. Yet, the Commander-In-Chief, "the Decider," can’t pony up a scant $50 mil for those poor schlubs he sent into harm’s way, who came back bearing less yet more than that with which they left home.

and cutting the legs from under America....

My Grandfather was raised in a family that identified themselves as Republican. He learned in the 1920's first hand how Republicans viewed Disabled Veterans. It was one of the reasons he dropped the idea of being a Republican. A Haberdasher in Kansas City who was interested in veteran rights turned him from the dark side, my Grandfather never called himself a Republican again.

Harry S Truman by any chance?

Also a man by the name of Clarence Cannon
