Veterans Political night mare. 1-31-08
Political night mare. 1-31-08
Written by Peter Macdonald 465 Packersfalls rd Lee 03824 603-659-6217
The one thing I noted in the Obama and Clinton debated last night was they each talked about (for a real short time) the lack of Veteran’s medical care. This is the problem in the United States. You all want, other people’s children to go and fight for our freedom but when these Veterans return politicians deflect money for care to their pet projects. We have serious problems in the U.S. The major problem is our elected officials. They lie to the voters to get elected. Once elected they borrow money to spend so that their image looks good to the Voters which increases the national debt for future generations to pay. Near the next election the people in office give tax relief by borrowing more tax money against future generation. Bush has this nation so far in debt we will be lucky if our children are not having to direct deposit of their pay check to a Chinese investor. The problem is that our politicians are interested in their own self image rather than the United States of America.
The internet has allowed in a limited way for the people to express their opinion with out being censored. Our Constitution was designed to allow for a free press to protect against a Totalitarianism form of government. That no longer exists. The news media has violated the people’s trust by controlling the words of the people. Letters to the Editor was recognized as one of the most important eliminates to our freedom. The sole responsibility can not be laid on the news media. The judicial branch of government by selective protestation of the press to limit what stories that are written about judges and other government officials intimidated the free press. Ethics, no longer is recognized as an element of journalism. News must now conform to the best interest of the continued existence and profit of the business itself.
You people have no idea the hurt and torture the U.S. places on returning Veterans. In ignorance or shear meanness you allow politicians to use Veterans medical care as a weapon against us. During election politicians shout how much they give to veterans then denounce us into silence until the next election. It has been the same for every conflict or war. The pain and suffering of returning Veterans will not change for the Veterans coming home from Afghanistan or Iraq. Only 11% of the U.S. citizens ever serve in our military but 25 % of the home less in the U.S. are returning Veterans. We give our lives for freedom of the press only to be pressed to the side until our suffering is needed by a politician for another short time.
