MEDIA and CONGRESS at new LOW??
Tribute is warranted for the sound judgment and integrity of both President Obama and General Shinseki for their joint decision to remove him from the spotlight, and focus, instead, on finding a way to solve the monumental problems we sick and injured veterans face as we try to live with dignity in the United States of America. Not one program for Veterans, in my lifetime, has escaped being "proscribed" (meddled with, strictly limited) by members of Congress. Their "powers of the purse" have been used to corrupt the VA in more ways than be we can count here. Their ability to meddle in the operations and minute details of any Executive Branch agency is virtually unlimited. They corrupt them by putting their own operatives inside the Cabinet agencies. They have been joined by Koch-sponsored MEDIA in the Lynching of Shinseki.
Congress accepts no accountability for its actions and in-actions. Neither do those MEDIA talking heads who drove the mob frenzy. I was disturbed by Chris Matthews' screams for the head of Shenseki, while admitting that a huge, heavily funded bureaucracy will be left to flounder as a result. His solution: find someone who can FIX the problems. Sound insane? It is!!
Veterans Advocacy Groups led the lynch mob. My experience with these groups has been uniformly negative. They are good at grabbing the media spotlight, fund-raising, and garnering favor from politicians. They are not close in any way to individual veterans. No one has demanded an accounting of what they have done for veterans in their state. They, likewise, accept no accountability for this mess.
The public, with blind allegiance to their politicians and their Veterans Spokespersons, has joined in the mob action. This is a preview of what "Government By Koch" will bring to the United States. We demand honesty and transparency from our (Executive Branch?) Federal Government. This kind of mob action guarantees that we will NEVER get that! What person, who is rational, and realizes better options available, will SERVE a PUBLIC as craven as this one? We're in the market for another STUCKEE, it seems.
Stay Vigilant! Anybody else get a whiff of "Putin-tactics" here?
