Like in many another American family, my family's matriarch is Rosie the Riveter. During World War II, she fought Nazi imperialism by building fighter-plane wing assemblies. Her sweetheart, our family's patriarch, was busy fighting Nazis in North Africa and liberating Italy. No one really knows how many people are alive today because of the efforts of all of our nation's Rosies and their sweethearts. You easily could be one of these people.
Today, these patriotic men and women are more fragile than they were more than 60 years ago so, it somehow follows in the dim recesses of the Congressional mind (so called), that these elderly folks' healthcare benefits should be cut in favor of another group that Congress considers more worthy of the U.S. taxpayers' dollars: illegal immigrants.
Just another sickening episode in the ongoing saga of Barack Obama's rebuilding of America.
Congress's in-our-faces disdain for the American people provides one reason that I'm extremely proud of and encouraged by the energetic work of the patriots of Long Island, New York, who have been diligently holding ever-larger Tea Parties outside the offices of their representatives in Congress, including Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer.
They held their latest, very successful, set of Tea Parties last Friday.
As you watch the following videos (excellent reporting, more videos, and still photos of the event are available at Gathering of Eagles: NY ), keep in mind that Robert Dole once quipped that "the most dangerous place in Washington is between Chuck Schumer and a camera." Clearly, the Senator and his colleagues are less eager than usual to get their portraits taken with their constituents in Long Island, even if it means slamming the door in the faces of WWII and other veterans. Sadly, but not surprisingly, our aging warriors are infinitely more willing to defend America's freedoms than are Schumer and his entire sorry staff.
