WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITHOUT FREE REPUBLIC?
Priceless ping!
Republicans hope people are smart, but Democrats know people are stupid.
You’re wrong though.
It’s against the law- at least against the “Pay Our Military” act- to pay anything but “pay and allowances” to the military.
That’s what Obama wanted- to make the shutdown hurt as many good people as possible- and that’s what Harry and Nancy delivered.
The subterfuge is deeper than you realize.
painful? They call THIS painful?
How about health care premiums doubling? That is painful.
How about people waiting in line to get medical procedures? that’s painful
How about seeing Obama on TV? now THAT is painful
He’s contradicting himself almost daily. He sounds like a loonie to the average guy.
This is a shutdown we should be reminding American of but won’t
The four passenger helicopter already overloaded with eight just barely lifting off its roof top heli-pad. Attached to its steel tube runner type landing gear below the fuselage were about a dozen more desperate people clinging to the gear . As the craft struggles to get airborne. it lurches skyward as one of those clinging to the steel tubes used as landing gear lets go. Falling to a death some 35 feet down to the refugee crowded lamding pad atop the Saigon American Embassy roof..
They were fleeing South Viet Nam through its closed US embassy because American support was withdrawn and denied .Leaving its army running out of ammo and conviction. Sold out by an American congress controled ironically by Democrats that.decided to shed its support for a democratic form of government to what became a US ward for a socialist/communist replacement . It was a harbinger of what that political party will bring to the US 50 years later.
Because of Obamacare most recalling of defunding\ governemnt shutdowns simply goes back to Gingrich’s time when he was Speaker. This earlier defunding/ government shutdown had profound implications where hundreds of thousands died because of it. Like the constitutional constrains on central government. That abandonment of Viet Nam is hardly if ever mentioned or discussed in classrooms despite American humiliation could be demonstrated in that film clip described in this articles lead paragraph.. Because it was created by the Democrat party responding to the socialist/communist radicals that had taken over the “liberal arts eduicational industry” and were slowly taking that party over as well..
Not only did we lose a war because of it. But those same university socialist educators which encouraged this defunding , and dis-honoring the of the 58,000 deaths of our military. Also encouraged their charges to use humiliation such as calling retuning servicemen “baby killers” (only later to kill their own) and spitting in their faces Their educational products like Professor William Ayers are now on their own, and his protoge Barack Hussain Obama are borrowing a military term, on R&R . Running and Ruining destroying this country . For this time the same group are now in control of that political party.
My sanity is not gonna last 3 more years.
Whatever. The guy is an asshole.
