Veterans, The VA And Senate Democrats

Unbelievable! Liberal Democrats reveal their true values.  They gladly give taxpayer handouts to many who have done little or nothing for themselves or others while denying critical care to our war veterans, many of whom, in our behalf, suffered great harm, even death.  It is a foretaste of what is considered theirs and the President's signature piece of legislation, Obamacare.  Tragic how they have a grossly misguided view of the future of America.  Quote:  "What we can take away from this is that the targets of the government benevolence, at least in Senate Democrats’ eyes, are becoming more defined.  Unlike the voting bloc of millions of government dependents that Democrats champion with fierce rhetoric, our brave veterans are actually entitled to healthcare benefits that they have earned, and they and their families deserve justice for being wrongfully denied those benefits."  http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/05/senate_democrats_declare_war_on_vets.html  

This items continues the theme.  Quote: "26 hospitals are under investigation now.  This is a massive systemic crisis, not the work of a few low-level rogue employees.  And the people in charge of the system are trying to evade accountability by boasting of everything the VA has done right – as if the core accusation here is that Barack Obama and Eric Shinseki don’t personally care enough about veterans, so all they’ve got to do is talk up a few accomplishments to demonstrate their compassion, while the sand of outrage runs out of the public’s hourglass."   And here:  Obama is "...not going to admit that veterans need to flee from a single-payer medical system to escape brutal and corrupt rationing and get the care they need.  Unless he’s really backed up against the wall, Obama’s not going to do anything that reminds Americans of the uncomfortable similarities between these secret VA waiting lists and the ObamaCare death panels awaiting them.  His “signature achievement” is in bad enough shape as it is; ObamaCare will not survive any further ideological body blows.  It’s also not helpful to the ObamaCare cause for the VA story to settle into the public mind as an example of Big Government ineptitude and dishonesty."    http://www.humanevents.com/2014/05/23/democrats-try-to-run-out-clock-on-va-scandal/

Here is another take.  It makes clear the ultimate travesty of the consequential policies/programs favored by liberals/progressives and their badly misguided priorities.  Following their best elitist practices they say one thing but do another.  Makes you want to cry.   http://www.humanevents.com/2014/05/23/how-america-treats-illegal-aliens-vs-veterans/
