There was a picture of some Vietnam vets being loaded into a paddywagon last night. (Or homeless men who were hired to pose as vets?

I am a veteran. Blow me, moron.

Regarding Benghazi, sure, we should hang the President anytime anyone ever kills any American personnel.

Or does your ire only extend to those with some Kenyan ancestry?

Did Reagans lack of action after the Marine Barracks bombing show the same you dumbass?

Could have! The were probably rustled up at a soup kitchen where wingnuts drive by and shout "Get a job you bum!" all day long.

Giving them access to a memorial is no more important than opening the rest of government from the FDA to the CDC to NIH .....

You've been sucked into the (il)logic of the right wing echo chamber. My condolences.

Amazing how this pops up in the search. Democrats? Oh no.. it can't be!

Honestly, we need to just start over in Washington. Fire 'em all and then ( at least for a while ) it'll keep both sides in check. I know, I know.. keep dreaming. But it is how I feel about it.

Bad timing, there's no oxygen for immigration reform just now.

But it's a good cause, immigration reform is sorely needed, everyone agrees, but it's not getting done.

So sure, fire them all. Blocking a street is 100% as bad as defunding the government.
