“Remember America’s Heritage” was the name of
the group soliciting money from me as a veteran to help fight what they were
SUPPOSEDLY enraged about.
It was the kind of emotional crap that we fall
for too often.
“Obama is giving billions to illegal aliens
while veterans die from lack of care” was their grab phrase. I wonder how many
“patriots” opened up their wallets for that claptrap.
As if the VA mess was a creation of one
government body, one party, or one man, and as if it wasn’t many
administrations—and, to be more accurate—many mal-appropriating
Congresses. And as if it was this
administration that solely sets policies.
And that doesn’t even address the factual misrepresentations.
The clever but sleazy money vipers couch
themselves in the words of patriotism, and cloak their organizations in similar
verbiage.
“Patriotism is the last refuge of a
scoundrel,” Samuel Johnson said, and little has changed since his day.
