Theyre missing the point that women dont feel comfortable at the VA, Because of the Lincoln quote?????
To: DoodleDawg
Having the va as my primary care facility for the last 4 decades, I can firmly state I have never seen or heard of any woman exhibiting signs of discomfort.
I also have had nothing but exemplary service from the local va.

Is it sexist, I don’t think so, it’s historic. And any way it’s still perfectly appropriate in relation to homosexual soldiers.......no?

Simple solution. Replace the Lincoln quote with a suitable quotation from Jefferson Davis. Problem solved.

>>The group can shove it up their Obamaholes.
Enough of this crap.
Keep the phrase, dare them to do something about it.
When they do, hurt them. Really hurt them.
It is long past time for groups to start feeling fear.<<
Perfectly stated, and expresses exactly my thoughts on the matter. Thanks for posting.
