Most of us have similar  stories, mine would make you cry.

The children are, as I have heard some say, the liberals "Trojan Horse".  They are being used to draw compassion.  We cannot serve every person, child, from every country that doesn't take care of its people.  We are at the same place here if they would but open their eyes.

Can you imagine the chaos when these children try to enter our schools?  I have been a sub in some of our local elementary schools and one of our largest high schools since I retired off my job.  My first job of sub was at a local ele. and it was my misfortune to have to be an aide to a k4-5 teacher.  She had upwards of 27 children in that class and all were latino except one black child and one white child.  None of the latino children could speak English.  I asked the teacher how we were supposed to deal with them when I found out she didn't speak their language.  Her answer was, "they are learning from the other (2) students in the class pretty fast".  All the children in that class was an overflow from a school that was closing and they had to put them somewhere until the new school got built the next year. 

Youv'e got every right to be angry, just put that anger to good use and do what you can to encourage others that might feel the same way. 

Did you happen to get to see the movie "America"?  I think every American ought to see this movie.  I saw it today with my "sheriff" and we both thought it right on point to the trouble we are having today from an onslaught of progressiveness.  There might even be some info in it that you might not have heard.  It will make you want to fight for our country!

Been there done that, and you know what I got in return for that sacrifice?

Harassment by the IRS and lifelong medical problems, and substandard medical care to treat it.

No thanks some of us have done our bit for God and country, some of us, are sick of fighting for a nation that neither appreciates the sacrifice, nor rewards it.

You sound like my dad.  He is a Marine Corps. WW II combat veteran.  Got a Purple Heart and other medals. 

He said he won't fly his flag until this guy is out of office.  He said this is not the country he fought for.

I'm just the opposite.  Since the guy in-Office dislikes The Flag, I display it.

Daisey I'm with your dad on that. THIS IS NOT THE AMERICA I BELIEVED IN, THIS IS NOT THE AMERICA I WAS WILLING TO DIE FOR, IF NECESSARY.

For example had prior to my enlistment, someone told me, "now look we want you to put your backside on the line fighting a war for us, but twenty years after that, once you get out of the military someone's going to just walk on into the nation, and your classification as a citizen is going to mean crapola". "They'll get better healthcare than you will, they'll be given better housing than you, and oh yeah, they'll even be able to file taxation using your identity scto free too".

I'd have said, "hell but hell the frack no I"m not fighting for a nation that does that"....who the hell would?

Seriously who wouldn't have said hell no to something like that?

And yet that is, in effect what is going on today in this nation. That is in effect how every veteran from WWII on down is being treated by this nation.

Where's the outrage at that???? (sits and listens to the crickets)....I'm excluding most posters here too in that btw. I know most here are outraged by that, but seems we those posters here who do take offense to the way our vets are treated, on the whole are a small small minority.

And as if that's not bad enough, now today I wake up and see our stupid ass mayor wants Cincy to be the most "immigrant friendly" (translated ILLEGAL INVADER FRIENDLY) city in the nation.

Like we don't already have enough illegal invaders here.

And this on the day it comes out that just twenty minutes drive north, the Sheriff's life is threatened by the Mexican mafia.

I'm sorry for griping today folks, but I"m just sick to death of the b.s., AND so called "leaders" here who just don't get the message no matter how loud the people shout it.

And make no mistake about it, that's what it is (it being this issue with these illegal invaders) too, It's liberal b.s. attempts at stacking a deck, because they know they've lost the card game in NOV 16 otherwise.

Also one more thing Daisey, you are not being incompassionate in stating that no, you don't want illegal invaders being given amnesty in your nation.

If anything, you are showing compassion for your fellow citizen's by demanding that the time, energies and money's of our government be used for what they are intended to be used for.

Namely the people of the United States.

NOT, contrary to what liberals would have us all believe, everyone on the whole damned friggin planet.

IF anything you are being very compassionate in demanding that these folks own governments take care of them.

Not ours.

From what I've been reading, you aren't alone in your anger over the priority given to these people, while our own homeless and Veterans settle for 3rd rate treatment. Libs are seeing it as well, and turning against the Dims over it.

Normally I'd never lump homeless in with Vets, but the Marxist created this economy, where countless numbers of people have joined the ranks of the homeless by no fault of their own, unlike a decade ago it was by choice.

As Vets, we expect a bit more consideration than waiting 6 months to a year for treatment, but this administration seems to make dying to get treatment a way of life for Vets, all the while treating illegals far better than us.

If this administration took as much time focusing on Vets as they do illegals, there would be no waiting line for care in the VA system.

It's disgusting that Vets get less consideration than illegals.

Obama loathes the military.  He loathes the very country that has made him President and will make him super rich.

Interesting take on flying the flag as an in your face!  No way could I convince my Dad to do that!!!

This is all going to come crumbling down on those of us who did NOTHING to deserve it.

It's been like that for about the last 25 years, too. I am proud of my country (but not what it's becoming), and I'm proud of my military service.

CG as a request, from a veteran, please don't fly it in inclement weather. I hate to see the colors up there drenched. :)

I know this will shock some, maybe not others but here goes.

When Obama first took office, the statistics showed that something like forty percent of the homeless were veterans.

http://www.nationalhomeless.org/factsheets/veterans.html

Now, just imagine what that number is today, four years later, after enduring year after year of a horrible economy.....

One can almost not help but wonder if it's by design.

A means to force a large segment of our society onto the government plantation.

A means to enslave a large segment of our society.

Yet again things that make one go hmmm.....

Ok, I've read most of the posts on this title and I've got a new one that some of you might disagree with but it reflects the attitude of my husband.  He is a 20 yr. vet of the AF and is presently still employed at a big Electrical company.  He keeps up with the news with his head down, so to speak.  I've heard some of the stories about Viet Nam, even seen some of the pictures of his work in the service-horrible ones of soldiers from both sides in various stages of mutilation-body parts gone. 

He has related to me of the times our servicemen were told to "stand down".  He has told me of the treatment that he and fellow servicemen received upon re-entering the states, not a good thing.  We both patiently endure all of the media attempts to correct disrespect towards our military but where was the respect for him and his fellow servicemen?  We've gone to various celebrations and parades whereby servicemen and ex's are honored for their service and he will always proudly salute them.  He does not speak very much about the time he spent in the service but is a proud vet.  The worst part was seeing sooooo many dead bodies of very young American soldiers who will never have known a full life.  War is inevitable and always hell but better digested if the ones who wage it have their ducks in a row.  Our current adm. does not have a clue and could care less what servicemen think.  To be at the beck and call of corrupt leaders is a recipe for failure.

Here is the comment I  mean't to make.  He sees our country in the same horrible light as most of us here, maybe more solemnly than we do.  When Bozo was re-elected I saw my "sheriff" do something I had never seen done before and when I asked him why, he just simply said "we are in terrible danger".  He hung our American flag upside down and left it there all week.  The flag came down after that and he vows to leave it down until Bozo is gone.

I agree. We are in terrible danger, actually have already been damaged in ways that won't become apparent for years or decades. But I can't agree with your husband's actions. Taking the flag down would have been fine. Flying it upside-down is something else altogether.
