Chairman Zero Refuses Pensions for World War II Veterans
Can you imagine if Chairman Zero had been president during World War II? Can you imagine him going on the radio (or television, which VP Plugs Biden believes was a widely used medium of the era) the day after Pearl Harbor and proclaiming, "I am not interested in victory."
Chairman Zero has expressed his contempt for soldiers and veterans in ways both subtle in gross. He was the first president in modern history to snub the Heroes' Ball on Inauguration Day. He has accused troops in Iraq and Afghanistan of indiscriminately bombing civilians. He is ignoring the requests of his top general for more troops in Afghanistan. His cuts to the defense budget include eliminating vitally needed combat search and rescue (CSAR) helicopters to find and evacuate lost and wounded soldiers.
And not content to merely let the troops in Afghanistan die while he plays rounds of golf and flies to Copenhagen to shill for the Olympics, Chairman Zero has decided to deny pensions to 26 veterans of World War II.
In a strongly worded message to Congress outlining its priorities for a military spending bill, the Obama administration today said it disapproved of including money for pensions for 26 elderly members of the World War II-era Alaska Territorial Guard.
I think the problem is that these veterans were defending Alaska, which is not only full of people bitterly clinging to their guns and Bibles, but is also the state that elected Sarah Palin governor. For the petty, vindictive tinpot in the Oval Office, this means they deserve to be punished.

Now you are beginning to understand why Obama is leaving the troops in Iraq and afghanistan. He doesn't want them back in the US because he fears them. He has this Democrat general making targets of our troops in afghanistan.
I have heard the story of Eleanor Roosevelt wanting US Marines sent to invade Japanese held islands that were bypassed at the end of WW2 just to get rid of them, as she thought they couldn't fit into the US after the war. I fear this is Obama's plan.

Good article Gregory. Watch for an upcoming benefit drive, probably headed by former governor Sarah Palin, to provide for the well being of former members of the Alaska Territorial Guard, and their families, in direct response to the grievous and despotic actions of the current president of the United States, and to recognize the heroic and patriotic efforts of a little known group of survivors who defended the only American soil invaded by enemies during the WW 2 era.
I'll have ten bucks for them.

Honor and Obama do not go together.
Defending America is not something that Obama and his crew understand.

Alaska should pass a bill providing the retirement out of the oil residuals. It should be introduced by a citizen, like Sarah Palin, the next POTUS!

With everything thats happened heretofore, you need only recall one red flag from the 2008 campaign. That would be the moment, during the Dem debate. Most thought he was just flipping-off Hillary. It was really meant for all of us.

Aren't some of those vets "native Americans"? Hopey McChange must be a RAAACIST!.

On the other hand, there is the Akaka bill (HR2314) for which obama is a steadfast supporter. This bill guarantees the rights of native Hawaiians as American natives before their adaptation of statehood.... at the same time he denies the same rights to native Alaskans. See anything fishy there?
