I Support Veterans & American Legion, Not Obama

The other day I heard that the leader of the American Legion met with Pres. Obama and discussed health insurance and govt. coverage of medical needs for veterans. The Legion leader was enraged with Obama's words and actions. Obama wants the veterans to get financial payment for their medical treatment and needs from their private health insurance. Yet, it is the at the governments bidding and service and duty that these valiant young men and women make the most ultimate sacrifices out of all citizens in service to our country and citizens. This is a complete absurdity; a travesty, that the leader of the free world, the prs. of the U.S. does not even make it a priority to provide for and care for the best and most deserving among us, yet spends more money that we dont even have yet, to fund those that have made poor decisions.

So, for my facebook status today I have "Hyrum supports my fellow veterans and the American Legion, not Obama."

The quote listed in the header of this blog is an abridgment of a quote of Ezra Taft Benson. Here it is in it's entirety:

In times as serious as these, we must not permit fear of criticism to keep us from doing our duty, even at the risk of our counsel being tabbed as political, as government becomes more and more entwined in our daily lives. In the crisis through which we are now passing, we have been fully warned. There are some of us who do not want to hear the message. It embarrasses us. The things which are threatening our lives, our welfare, our freedoms are the very things some of us have been condoning. Many do not want to be disturbed as they continue to enjoy their comfortable complacency. There can be no neutrality! We are, or we are not, on the side of the Lord! (Ezra Taft Benson, 1973)
