Pedophiles, But Not Veterans

The Democrats show favoritism to groups outside the realm of common sense.

RESIZE: AAA

The U.S. House of Representatives is bogged down in dealing with leftist hate crimes legislation.

Let’s get straight to the punch line:

Congressman Rooney offered an amendment to include veterans as a protected class in hate crimes legislation, but the Democrats voted down the amendment. Here’s Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz denying veterans need any protection:

The Democrats were, however, more willing to consider extending hate crimes protection to pedophiles. That’s not a punch line. That’s just sick.

    Elected Democrats are the enemy of the State. In the spirit of the Obama Administration, I hope the next Republican Administration charges the bas…s with treason and hangs a few of them. I’ll bring the rope.

    Belabored discussions on what is or is not a hate crime? I mean, really.

    Is it not obvious to anyone with a functioning brain cell that any “group” can be hated (and thus, have hate crimes perpetrated upon them) simply because they ~are~ a group?

    As for the silly woman from Florida with the frizzy hair, who is obviously trying to score points with her constituency groups (as she defines them), well, she’s just too ridiculous for words.

    Is there a group for leftist silly congresscritters who say illogical things? If so, Ms Hyphenated-Name needs to sign up.

    have targetted Iraq war veterans as child abusers for some time now too.

    That’s what she said, right?

  • securitymom

    While a lot of CPS workers care about children, once in the system the best interest of the child falls into a dark hole.

    First I am told that because I am a veteran I am a terrorist, more so because I am a right wing extremist and I consider that a hate crime. Now, many times I have had to change out of my uniform in the restroom to avoid the hatful protesters, and now this?

    OMG! I am speechless.

    For whatever reason, a commercial showing this idiot of a Congresscritter, Waserman-Shultz, is not being shown in her home district.

    It is not important that a R be running against this piece of dog excrement, it does not matter if there is no election at hnd, it is important for the R brand to start pointing out at every chance why Democrats are wrong. If this is not an example of what’s wrong with Democrats and how Republicans are different, then nothing does.

    Somehow I doubt the RNC can be bothered to run an advertisement in Wasserman’s district featuring this stupidity, even once.

  • RJD

    Some poetic justice in that, I think.

    …victims — just ask those Marine recruiters in Berkely, ROTC instructors at Stanford, or JAG recruiters as Ivy Law Schools.

    Where’s someone to enforce the Solomon Amendment when we need it?

    They have absolutely no problem calling our Veteran, Pro-Life, Flat-Tax, 2nd Amendment American Citizenry “Extremists” or “Terrorists”. They don’t bat an eye at insulting, degrading or flat out abusing our Christian or Jewish American Citizens. While Iran, North Korea, Russia and China all work to point as many Nukes as they can at our heads they have no problem risking the lives of every man, woman and child in this country by basically cutting the feet out from under our missile defense programs and going on television and telling all our enemies that he’s doing it. They have no problem having the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA smile, shake the hand of and provide legitimacy to Dictator in Making Hugo Chavez all while he’s having his political and personal opponents jailed and killed, shutting down any press critical of his actions, and seizing the personal property of his own citizens and that of other countries and putting it under his control.
    (You know Obama is jealous!) They go on tour and our supposed President PUBLICLY apologizes to every tin horn with an gripe against our country. Meanwhile he insults our historical friends and fellow democracies. He refuses to meet with the Israeli
    P.M. Netanyahu(?) and while we are drowning in our own debt he’s sending millions and millions of dollars to Gaza/Hamas and basically helping finance people who claim to want to destroy us and our friend Israel. They try to dump the medical care of our injured soldiers onto the soldiers themselves in what has to be one of the stupidest yet telling events of this administration.
    And now, while the country we love is on the precipice of financial meltdown, this Socialist Administration is going to enact the most punitive measures possible AGAINST our energy industry in an admitted effort to destroy the coal industry BEFORE there is any viable method of replacing that much needed energy production.
    How can anyone support this administration when it is knowingly and purposefully doing everything it can to ruin our economy, our standing in the world and our citizens ability to dissent.

    I am not sure if our economy and our country will survive as something we all recognize if this Waxman Energy legislation passes. It’s something as citizens we need to rise up and fight against.

    Isn’t the Democratic Party just a big circular firing squad anyway?

    we used to change into our uniforms at work. Had too many uniforms ruined by ‘compassionate liberals’ throwing paint and ink at us, not to mention the occasional knife and screwdriver thrown from a high apartment window.

    Chicken blood, for some reason, was a common projectile in the South Bronx.. Spitting too.

    There is a vile seething hatred among the liberal enclaves in the schools here against the military. The only way to stay sane is to love them back, I know that sounds weird but you can’t let them drag you down to their level – letting anger and emotion take charge.

    Liberalism is, after all, a choice to be close-minded and less informed, letting feelings and not substance rule the day.

  • Old_Crow

    was an order of magnitude worse than the day-to-day military hatred exhibited by the liberals.

    We’re just not used to turning to the government to solve problems. That’s the big difference between the left and the right. When liberals confronted me or my recruiters, we would engage them in conversation and try to explain ourselves.

    We didn’t dial 1-800 govt lawyers to try to correct the injustices in society.

    Any groups that liberals support will be a protected class.

    Any group supported by liberals will be a protected group under the law.
