While members of the U.S. Congress battle over “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” they’re forgetting the Cold Warriors. We need to send Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid a strong message. When Nancy Pelosi claims to fight for “gay” members of the United States Armed Forces, she should also fight to authorize the Cold War Service Medal (Victory Medal) and the Department of defense (DOD) should issue it to the “past” members of the United States Armed Forces who have bravely serve their nation during the Cold War.

Hostile Takeover of the Boston Tea Party Perpetrated by Political Elitists
Posted: 14th April 2010 by Wil Ford in Political NewsTags: Boston Tea Party, Sarah Palin
I liken many unsuspecting latecomers (drones) of the later-day Boston Tea Party to senseless goats. Almost every party member who embrace Sarah Palin as a viable political figure is simply a dimwit. Proof: Boston Tea Party 2010 is a joke. Just compare it to Boston Tea Party 2009 to understand my ranting. If you do understand, I am very happy U.S. Marine.
How many wise members of the Tea Party movement sense something is amiss? Why can’t the many so-called members who “recently became a tea bagger” sense the hostile takeover of a legitimate cause? It is a shame that all of the latecomers refuse to acknowledge what the political elitists are attempting to perpetrate… another political fraud!
State of the Union Address of U.S. President Barack Obama Jr Proves to Be Lame

Mr. President,
I realize that you are enduring the strenuous task of leading America to back to prosperity and restoring the honor of our great nation. However, I found your first State of the Union address to be a major disappointment.
The language of your State of the Union address is confusing. You mentioned many issues, each of which independent voters like me consider to be a non-issue. There are many other issues more important than climate change.
What are your plans for the many “unserviced” military veterans? There are many veterans who are routinely denied federal benefits for disabilities, illnesses and injuries occurred and/or aggravated while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
You stated that you will not walk away from the health care issue; however, you fail to mention about “unserviced veterans.” Many veterans are denied federal benefits for lame reason like having “pre-existing conditions” for which the Veteran Administration will NOT allow compensation. Why are “unserviced veterans” are NOT part of your health care plan?
Mr. President, what are your plans for “unserviced veterans”? What safeguards do you have in place to support the many widows and surviving families of deceased military veterans? The Veterans Administration has denied a local elderly widow the federal benefits of her late husband who held 100% disability rating prior to his death in 2001.
Why must a veteran has to save “at least one day” duirng a period of war? Why are “unserviced,” disabled Cold War veterans who served during eras of peace are denied recognition? What are your plans for the Cold War Victory Medal? It seems that the politicians are two-faced hyprocrites who often ignore and avoid the issues affecting many “unserviced veterans” who are shafted time after time. Why is your position?
During your first State of the Union address, there were many missed opportunities. You failed to mentioned about the real issues that matter the most. Instead of elaborating on issues of greater importance, you opted to spend the time to talk about issues like health care and climate change — both of which ore issues of lesser importance.
Sadly, you have lost the confidence of many Americans like me who is hoping for REAL change. Remember, the U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts proves the validity of the loss of confidence: Because of the unfortunate governance of the Democrats in Washington, Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Coakley. The bi-partisan era in Washington is over. Multi-partisan seems to be the only way to ensure that the Republicans and the Democrats.
Perhaps my fellow bloggers and I will continue or collective efforts to bring about REAL change. One day, business-as-usual will be a thing of the past in Washington. Too bad you are not part of the solution, sir.
Respectfully,
The Pblogger
