Abraham Lincoln sexist and outdated?
The Department of Veterans Affairs says it has received complaints about its official motto, which is a quote from Lincoln’s second inaugural address in 1865.
The quote, which has been the VA’s motto for 59 years, reads:
“To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.”

You can't get any more clear than “we are 5 days away from fundamentally changing the United States of America.”

"My article link was satire."Oh, let them rant. Demonstrating stupidity, while it is the normal behavior of the Left, can not be limited.

“They’re missing the point that women don’t feel comfortable at the VA,” Because of the Lincoln quote?????

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.
