#3  There's plenty of money for police, firemen, and teachers.

Just find something else to cut.

Prioritize how you spend my money; it is not never-ending!

#4  C'mon Bobby you're not that naive. You always cut the important things to scare the plebs. You, also, always make sure to spend every dime of the budget by the end of FY so your budget doesn't get cut.

Shyster Politics 101.

#7  Biden made up the numbers on violent crime. The FBI statistics don't support what he said. These donks are shameless and just make up the numbers to suit their agenda. People still listen to them nonetheless; however, more and more people are seeing the light.

#8  No, Alan, not that naive. Come to think of it, maybe just wasting my electrons.

But it's so obvious - can no one else comprehend?

Sorry. More electrons gone to waste....

#9  That's okay Bobby. You can have some of my electrons. I obviously have plenty to waste, I do it all the time. ;^)

I thought that there might be a missing

#10  The Left today is so much over the top on EVERYTHING that people can't HELP but notice, and it's beginning to bite them. To me, that's a good thing.

Joe Biden, NOW, Barrack Howinsane OBumble, labor unions, the "Occupy" "movement", George Soros and his many, many propaganda organizations, are all becoming not only irrelevant but also so obviously fraudulent that the majority of people in the US now SEE their fraud, and want nothing to do with it. Watch the Left get even more insane as their numbers continue to slide. The next twelve months are going to be a Master's Degree level education in fraud, lies, and pure Bull$$$$.

#11  I'm afraid we are going to see the most corrupt election in American history this time around as the donks and the left get more whacko.

#12  Yup! Poe-leeces, Firemens and Teechurs now; could shuddering Publik Lieberrys be far beehyn? #%&@? !!

#13  Don't forget the Media Old Patriot. They are righ there in the thick of it.

And they are going to get even more and more shrill as the next year goes on and they realize that people aren't really listening to their bullshit anymore.

VFW Wins Consent Degree Against VA Atheists Over Religious Funerals
The Veterans of Foreign Wars today declared victory in a Federal Lawsuit ( Rainey v VA) filed over allegations of religious hostility and unlawful censorship by the VA and its director of the Houston National Cemetery.

Federal District Judge Lynn N. Hughes signed a consent decree ordering the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to lift the ban on prayer and the word “God” at national cemeteries, to revoke national policies hostile to religion, and to reopen the Chapel which identity was previously changed to “meeting facility” at the Houston National Cemetery.

Texas-based Liberty Institute filed suit on behalf of the VFW over allegations of religious hostility and unlawful censorship by the VA and its director of the Houston National Cemetery. Officials told the VFW they could not have prayer during the burial services of veterans unless the family requested it specifically in writing and submitted the prayer to VA officials for pre-approval.

The order also requires the VA to change its national policies regarding volunteer honor guards. These changes will now allow the reading of “Thirteen Fold” Flag Recitations unless the deceased veteran’s family requests otherwise, volunteer honor guards to provide their own texts of recitations to the funeral homes for the funeral homes to offer those options to the deceased veteran’s survivor(s) for consideration, and the VFW honor guards to work independently with funeral homes to coordinate provision of volunteer services at the committal services scheduled at the cemetery without interference from the government.
No mention of the bitterly-atheist Houston National Cemetery director, Arleen Ocasio, who told members of the National Memorial Ladies that they must take “God” out of their vocabulary. She told them that they could not speak nor write the words “God,” “Jesus,” “God bless you,” or even “I’m praying for you,” to grieving families burying their loved ones.

#1  "She told them that they could not speak nor write the words "God," "Jesus," "God bless you," or even "I'm praying for you," to grieving families burying their loved ones."

Was it OK to say "F*** you" to Arleen?

#2  Ms Ocasio is a hostile bitch that should be removed from her job (with NO pension or benefits) for restricting such fundamental constitutional rights of military personnel and their families.
Posted by: OldSpook || 10/22/2011 15:57 Comments || Top||

#3  Arleen should be fired for her unpopular and unconstitutional abrogation of the rights of the people she's supposedly there to serve. Kick her ass out
