A Good Vet Takes Action
Nobody Cares
One of my readers alerted me to this last week: Veterans once again are getting ‘*$&%;’ by the idiots up in Washington, D.C.
The story says that Vets were upset at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery because they removed the Battlefield Cross marker, because…OMG…there was a gun in it.
God forbid we remind ourselves that soldiers USE guns to fight for our country. 
If it were up to liberals, we’d fight wars with lawyers, and Harvey Weinstein.
Here’s a few words from the article:
Veterans who make the pilgrimage to the cemetery to pay their respects to their comrades-in-arms say that one of the most powerful tributes that can be paid to service men and women is a battlefield cross, made up of a helmet, a rifle and a pair of boots.
The policy applies to all cemeteries operated by Veterans Affairs.
The battlefield cross can be displayed during a veteran’s burial, but must be removed after the ceremony.
Veterans say the rules drafted by bureaucrats are an affront to those who served their country and have no place on the hallowed grounds of a National Cemetery.
“I have yet to meet the Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman, Coast Guard that isn’t upset over this,” said Overton. “They’re trying to change our history, and we’re not going to let them do it.’
Well, I’d like to know just WHO it was that found this ‘offensive’ wouldn’t you?
But…here’s the GOOD news! People all over the country got out the word, and those statues were put BACK.
Thank God, the vets at the cemetery spoke up.
And thanks to ‘g’ man who can claim some of the credit for getting out the word.
Veterans, America Thanks YOU! (Forget that guy in his Pajama’s)
Nobody Reports
We have the best military in the world, not just because of our equipment, but because of the hearts and minds of the people who serve and give their lives for us. 
If you do not thank a VET today, then SHAME on you.
Even if you DO happen to be an American President who made SURE he wasn’t here on Veterans Day to honor them all in the usual historical Presidential ceremony.
He evidently–had a real hot date with another communist.
Nobody’s Fool: Wal-Mart Veteran
Nobody’s Fool
How about a good news story? After all, cops can’t be everywhere. This Wal-Mart employee did not mess around.
God bless the 2nd amendment,
God bless our vets.
Who are…NOBODY’s FoolS
In America: Criminals Get Star Treatment, Vets Get Screwed
Nobody Reports
In America: Gang members, murderers, rapists, drug dealers–are given everything they need to live a healthy and leisurely life, in our prisons. They get the BEST medical care: dental, medical, even sex changes if they so choose. (And sex visits from their spouses)
But our veterans, who have given their lives to serve our country, are dying in droves. They are denied medical care, suffer from homelessness, poverty, and hopelessness.
BUT! Finally! Our Congress is going to right the wrongs committed by the Veterans Administration before they leave to go on their vacations::
THIS JUST IN!
A House-Senate agreement on how to reform the broken Department of Veterans Affairs will let the VA hand out up to $360 million in bonuses to its employees each year, even though the House voted just weeks ago to strip all VA bonuses through 2016.
The compromise bill announced Monday by the chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees says VA bonuses will be capped at $360 million annually for the next ten years. But that cap is just 10 percent below the $400 million in bonuses the VA has distributed in recent fiscal years, and will allow up to $3.6 billion in bonuses to be awarded over the next decade.
They are making sure the bloated government workers who ‘kill’ veterans by denying them medical attention are getting…bonuses?
So, in America, criminals are treated better than honest patriotic citizens who give their lives and money to support low life scums and criminals.
So…who’s in charge?
Nobody’s Perfect: The White House VS the Veteran Administration
Nobody’s Perfect
This week we have the White House VS the Veteran Administration
First up: Our poor suffering Vets. Last week, it was found out that over 40 veterans died while waiting for care, and this important news couldn’t have come at a better time, right before Memorial Day.
Obama had to rush right over to Afghanistan to make it look liked he ‘cared.’
The inspector general at the Veterans Affairs Department says 26 VA facilities nationwide are under investigation, including the Phoenix hospital at the center of allegations about treatment delays and secret waiting lists intended to hide delays in care.
And it gets worse: At least 350,000 veterans of wars before those in Iraq and Afghanistan have outstanding appeals of benefits decisions, according to VA records.
The VA Secretary, Eric Shinseki, STILL has his job: But, like his good friend Obama, he is still proud:
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said last week he is proud of the reduced backlog in benefit claims and will keep pushing for the department to improve. “As I testified before Congress on May 15,” Shinseki said in a statement, “I take any allegations about patient safety or employee misconduct very seriously. The reports of veterans’ negative experiences while seeking VA care are of great personal concern to me.”
Gee…all those spouses of the dead vets are really glad to hear you have ‘concerns.”
And then, another big “error’ (or was it?) was made by the White House.
Here’s a few paragraphs from various reports:
The White House made a big mistake over the weekend, accidentally revealing the name of the CIA’s top officer in Kabul in a prepared list of U.S. officials who were taking part in a briefing related to President Barack Obama‘s surprise visit to Afghanistan.
After it went out to thousands of recipients, Washington Post reporter Scott Wilson noticed the peculiar CIA title — one that is not generally used in public releases. He inquired with White House press officials to see if including the name was a mistake and discovered that it was.
The CIA and White House have not officially commented on the matter.
The accidental disclosure of the identity of the top CIA agent in Afghanistan by the Obama administration could affect operations in that country — even target the entire unit for assassination by the Taliban, political operatives said Monday. The reporter who distributes the pool report generally sends it to the White House to be checked for factual accuracy and then forwards it to the thousands of journalists on the email distribution list. In this case, the White House failed on at least two occasions to recognize that the CIA official’s name was being revealed and circulated so broadly. But the person in Kabul is absolutely furious that his or her cover has been blown,” Hoekstra said. “When you compare that to where Valerie Plame was to the station chief in Kabul, there is no comparison — in terms of scale and in terms of importance.”
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award for the Week?
Is it Eric Shinseki, who it seems, has never set foot in any veteran hospital or even answered his mail?
Or is it the Obama dweebs at the White House, who basically put in danger, dozens of CIA operatives, who at any moment will be killed by the Taliban?
Obama wins, again. And he has the audacity to attack Edward Snowden.
Frankly…in the words of Clark Gable, he just doesn’t give a damn about any of us.
In a more sane world, he would be tried for treason.
I know others who write blogs are very careful about the words they use to criticize the man, but my “nice” vocabulary is running thin.
(Warning…future description of our “President” might not be so…benevolent. ) After six years of listing his ‘imperfections.” I’m ready to give him a permanent place on the Nobody’s Perfect Award, just because he’s such a $&%-up.
Is Obama really that incompetent? Or he is brilliantly carrying on his big plan to fundamentally change America?
Well, you know what I think.
How Many Vets Must a President Watch Die, Before He Decides to Give Up Golf for the Day?
Nobody Wins
Tell me, how many roads must a man walk down, before they call him a man?…(Okay, I’m showing my age)
And how many government policies must fail, before we can sleep in the sand?
Sorry. I don’t know about you, but every time I see the wounded warriors commercial on TV, I want to cry. It shames me to no end. Everybody knows that our vets are left out to basically rot by our government, and so, good people get together to raise money to help them.
But..it’s our government’s job to do that. They know we will go without to help them, and that leaves more for Obama and his cronies.
Despite Oblarny’s great “I am commander In Chief and I care deeply about the veterans,” most of us know, Obama has not lost one game of golf worrying about any of them.
Obama has taken the office itself down to a used car salesman turned funeral director.
I was out today, and I saw a Vet, sitting out in his wheel chair on the sidewalk, waiting for his ride. There is very small rehab place in a run-down mall, where I always to go buy my vitamins. The guy had both legs missing, and one stump bandaged up. He was unshaven, clearly struggling with depression, and as I walked by him I tried to put on a cheery smile and say, “How ya doing?”
He was so shocked that the poor guy only got out a weak mumble. Of course, he was miserable. Just to sit in that mall alone, took courage.
We all see these guys…from Iraq, Afghanistan,—-missing legs, and arms. The good news is: the doctors in the MASH units are doing wonders in saving lives…they keep them alive now. The death count from those wars are 4,487. but the warriors coming home with injuries…are overwhelming….
From 2011
The true number of military personnel injured over the course of our nine-year-long fiasco in Iraq is in the hundreds of thousands — maybe even more than half a million — if you take into account all the men and women who returned from their deployments with traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress, depression, hearing loss, breathing disorders, diseases, and other long-term health problems.
We don’t have anything close to an exact number, however, because nobody’s been keeping track.
Of course they don’t keep track. All you have to do is recall how Obama spent money to shut down the WWII memorial to understand that he really doesn’t give a damn. He just likes to remind himself every other second that he is “Commander in Chief.”
The truth is, the veterans that recently died because somebody wanted to make bonuses is going to coming to all of us soon with Obamacare.
I heard Bill O’Reilly pontificate tonight about how this was unacceptable.
Soon, this will be happening all over the United States with regular citizens…will we hear the outcry then?
Or as one reporter asked the White House Chief of Staff, Denis McDough on Thursday.,
“How many dead veterans do you need before somebody asks the question within the White House, ‘Maybe this isn’t the best steward of these veterans?’“
Our government treats our soldiers like cannon fodder…to be used and thrown in the trash…and so, Obama and Boehner will have to get illegal’s to join their armies.
The real Americans men, are being decimated fast.
And Obama’s talk is a cheap as a two-dollar Barney Frank hooker.
Obama Celebrates Martin Luther King Day on Veterans Day!
Nobody Reports
I watched Obama’s veterans day speech today at Arlington, and in my humble opinion, it was just another talk about race. Race, is the only thing that Obama has going for him. When the chips are down for Obama, Obama rises up to how prejudice people are against him, and blacks.
After talking about some woman who had been injured three times, and kept going back to Iraq (promoting women on the front lines) Obama had to bring out his token feather: The oldest living Veteran was 107 and black. If he had been white, you would not have seen him.
Yes—go ahead…use Richard Overton to talk about how Richard came home to a “nation bitterly divided by race” and how they did not always support blacks or respect them.
And then he said this:
“This is the life of one American veteran living proud and strong in the land he helped keep free. Earlier this year, the folks at Honor Flight Austin brought Richard to Washington, D.C., for the first time and he and his fellow veterans paid their respects at the World War II Memorial,”
Okay…does anyone else but me find it hard that he even mentioned this after this summer when Obama shut down the World War II memorial to all those vets? What a slap in the face to every veteran there.
“Then they visited the memorial to Martin Luther King Jr. and as Richard sat in a wheelchair beneath that great marble statute, he wept, and the crowd that gathered around him wept too to see one of the oldest living veterans of World War II bear witness to a day, to the progress of a nation he thought might never come. Richard Overton, this American veteran, is 107 years old,” Obama continued. “We are honored that he is here with us today
LOL! Leave it to Obama to tell the world that Richard was more impressed with Martin Luther King than that boring old World War II memorial.
Obama was also stating that the election of himself was the greatest moment in American history…basically, by mentioning “the progress of a nation.” He is just so proud of his country…for once in his life.
And YOU thought it was only Michelle who was proud of us racist bigots electing him.
Obama has decimated the military, left men behind, prosecuted generals, put women on the front lines, and gays in all the showers. But…he’s pretty good at killing people with drones.
This wasn’t a day about Obama, but somehow, he made it ALL about himself .
At least that’s my Nobody Opinion.
Nobody Remembers The Day A President Declared War on Veterans
Nobody’s Opinion
Instead of copying and pasting some “Happy Veterans Day!” picture, I thought I’d share a little history to ponder…about what some vets did in 1932:
********************
Our government has made a habit of not always honoring their promises…as we have all been witnessing with Obama’s lies and promises about how, “You can keep your doctor, period.” But, imagine how the good American men felt during the last great depression, when the government refused to pay them what THEY had promised. Back then, there was no such thing as food stamps. But in 1932, millions of veterans of WWI, traveled to Washington D.C. to collect the ‘bonus’ that was promised to them eight years before. The men were tired of waiting, and the talk in Congress was to defer the payments until 1945. In 1932, 32,000 businesses failed, and unemployment was up to almost 25 percent. Two million people wandered the country setting up shacks called “Hooversville” because they blamed Hoover for their plight.
(This was before credit cards.)
Just like George W. Bush, when the market crashed, Hoover couldn’t stand by and do nothing, so Congress passed a massive income tax increase–from 24 percent to 60 percent. And they kept spending, just like today. (Obama is the biggest spender in world history.)
Bad idea.
So the vets, who couldn’t find work anyway, took their families to Washington D.C, and built a small “Hooverville” around Pennsylvania Avenue near the Capital. They 
build an even bigger site on the outer reaches of the city and they called it Anacostia Flats. Over 25,000 people gathered there to take their claims that the government owed them. This protest came from all 48 states and the men were given food and free railroad passes from people in every state to help them get there.
Basically, they were all homeless, and starving.
Nevertheless–the people were peaceful…in fact, they had a commander in charge who rules were, “No panhandling, no liquor, no radical talk.” They even set up a school, a newspaper, and a library..The people in D.C., rich and poor, took them food.
Then on June 15, the House of Representatives passed the bonus bill 211 to 176. The next day, thousands of veterans surrounded the Capital in anticipation —- but the Senate defeated the bill. For a moment, it looked like the veterans were going to attack the Capital.
But…they didn’t. Summer ran on, many went home, but over 20,000 were still there.
The politicians were getting scared.
So, on July 28, Hoover ordered the police out. There were a few fights. One veteran lay dead, three policemen were injured. And then, General MacArthur, who had been training his troops for this moment, ordered his men to clear downtown of veterans. For the first time in American history, tanks were brought out into the streets, and 300 helmeted infantrymen, with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets, and gas masks, led by George Patton, cleared the streets.
From there they went out the camps and set fire to the camps.
Eisenhower (who was at the side of MacArthur) said MacArthur went too far.(Not the last time he disobeyed an order.)
MacArthur defended his actions:
Had he let it go on another week—-” I believe the institutions of our Government would have been severely threatened.”
FDR opposed giving the men the money, but after the event, he told an adviser that “this will elect me.”
Attacking the American Vets assured FDR election.
So, did the vets ever get their money? Yes. In June 1936, Harry Truman gave it to them. Almost $2 billion was handed out to 3 million WWI veterans.
Then in 1942, Congress passed the G.I Bill of Rights.. which, by giving vets education and loans to buy homes, built the middle class, whose consumption would power the postwar economy.
And now, Obama has been purchasing billions of hollow point bullets. .
Apparently, the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security has ordered 750 million handgun, rifle, and shotgun rounds (in addition to the 450 million purchased earlier this year.(Add to this tanks and drones.)
Our police departments all over the country are being militarized.
Either they are expecting a full-fledged invasion, or more likely, a collapsed of the economy. Someday, the “promises” of pension rewards, welfare, and food stamps will run out.
And if you think that your government will NOT fire on its citizens,
Think again.
They did it once before.
And if that isn’t a reason to thank a vet today, I don’t know what is. Someday you might have to depend on that vet for your very survival, to protect you from Obama’s generals…who are at this very moment, training their troops.
Nobody Gets Email: American Flag—Lowe’s Doormat
Nobody Cares
Here’s an email I just opened. While the American Flag has been used on about as many products as you can think of, and nobody seems to care, I have to agree with this one. An American Flag doormat…not such a good idea. Even though (see picture below) it’s not just the flag, and is done like some cherry sort of folk art, I think an American Flag doormat is pretty insulting.
The truth is, whoever thought of this and manufactured it, probably thought they were being patriotic, instead of just plain stupid. 
I have leather jacket with the American Flag on the back, and even though it’s not COOL to wear it because you are looked at as being UNCOOL, I still do. But, there are exceptions to every rule. Put the American Flag on your coffee mug if you like, display it proudly on your dog’s bandana, but don’t STEP on it.
While Nobody is with the veterans on this matter, Nobody Wonders, what do the veterans think when flags are displayed on underwear? Did they fight for the right of the genderness? 
Anyone?
(Thanks to Pattie.)
*************
To all concerned. Lowe’s is now selling American Flag doormats. As Memorial day and 4the of July is approaching, many stores are trying to increase their profits. Needless to say, the selling of American Flag doormats has many Veterans upset. Veteran feel that they fought for the American Flag, many losing their lives, and many permanently injured for the freedoms that the American Flag represents, yet Lowe’s is now selling the American Flag as a doormat, “something to be walked on, and something to wipe your feet on”, as one veteran put it. “Are they slapping our faces or what?” asked another veteran.
The V.F. W., the America Legion, and several other organizations were immediately contacted. A veteran with 33 years in the U.S. Navy, had went to Lowe’s to buy $300.00 worth of lumber to build a fence, but when he saw the American Flag doormat, he flipped out, made Lowe’s take back the lumber and refund his money. Several others walked out of the store.
At the Lowe’s in N. Charleston, SC, the manager took all the doormats off of display because of complaints and called Lowe’s headquarters to report the consumer’s and veteran’s complaints. Those who grew up respecting the American Flag, and those who fought to defend it, would never let the American Flag touch the ground, much less us it as a doormat, to walk on or wipe your feet on it!
Most likely these doormats are made in China, but they are distributed by Mohawk Home, 3032 Sugar Valley Rd.,NW, Sugar Valley, Georgia, 30746
Please pass this on to as many people as you can. Some of us still respect and love America and our Flag, and what it represents.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
