The Left’s assault on veterans’ rights
Michael Connelly, Constitutional Attorney and United States Army Veteran, writes:
Since I wrote the article titled “Disarming America’s Heroes” I have been inundated with emails and phone calls from veterans and the families of veterans. The horror stories I am hearing are proof that the VA and the Obama administration have launched an all out assault on the Constitutional rights of our nation’s wounded warriors and other veterans.
Veterans are being declared incompetent not because they have a serious mental illness that makes them a danger to themselves or others, but because they have a physical disability resulting from their service in the armed forces or because they simply let their spouses pay the family bills.
If veterans have minor issues with PTSD, have expressed that they are depressed sometimes, or even in the case of Vietnam veterans admit that they are getting older and sometimes forget to pay their bills on time, the bureaucrats at the VA will seek to declare them incompetent. (I am a 65 year old veteran and often forget where I put my car keys, does that make me incompetent to handle my own financial affairs and even worse mean that I can’t own a firearm?) According to the VA it apparently does.
All of this has resulted in America’s heroes being declared incompetent by a process that blatantly violates their rights to due process under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Then, for reasons that have not been explained these same veterans are also being denied their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Obama’s DoD informed military “no death benefits” by TWITTER
These people really have NO SHAME.
This video should be on your Must View ASAP list. Please set aside 16 minutes to listen. No need to watch. It’s just a talking head. But do listen. And if you can, get your favorite Obama Apologist to listen too.
Majority Leader Harry Reid Objects to Funding the VA. Again. [16:10]
Republican Senator Cruz: Veterans are an American issue, not a partisan issue. Refusing death benefits is an abomination. Eight bills have come from the House to fund parts of the government. The Democrats have not allowed any of them to come to the floor.
Democrat Senator Reid: Blah blah blah
REID SHORT TRANSLATION: No, I will not allow the Senate to vote on funding death benefits.
LONG TRANSLATION: I’m in charge of the Senate and I’m Obama’s lapdog. So no, we are NOT voting on any “piecemeal” funding of anything, because we want everybody to HURT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE so we can get Obamacare funded without any negotiation whatsoever and never mind that half of all Americans hate it and that Obama Democrats are the ONLY people refusing to fund the Veterans Administration or open the parks or allow chaplains to VOLUNTEER their services on military bases because DEMOCRATS CARE. You can be sure of this because we keep telling you. Also, (with respect to my dear friend and colleague Senator Cruz) REPUBLICANS SUCK.
Democrat Lackeys: We don’t need to vote on your stupid Republican piecemeal bills, because we are happy to vote on complete (with Obamacare) funding.
Republican Senator Cruz: Veterans should not be held hostage by partisan political issues like whether or not we fund Obamacare. Democrats are holding veterans hostage by refusing to even vote on veteran funding and demanding all or nothing funding.

Crimes and Misdemeanors
We The People own the National Mall
Not Obama. Not Obama Democrats.
But Obama and his Bully Democrats led by Senate-majority leader Harry Reid have chosen to maximize the pain of the government “shut down” by Barry-cading all national parks, memorials and monuments.
This includes the National Mall.
October 8, 2013: During the Camino Americano protest on the (closed except for them) National Mall, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made a point to thank President Obama personally for allowing the illegal alien protest to take place as scheduled … on the CLOSED National Mall.
Among the many pre-planned events for the National Mall that were cancelled because of the Democrat Embargo on We the People:
- The Kicking for Kids Who Can’t Kick-a-thon sponsored by the Amputee Coalition
- The Children’s National Medical Center’s 5k Race for Every Child.
POINT ONE: Obama restricted the use of publicly-owned national property to serve his personal political agenda.
The national parks etc. are closed because Obama Democrats refuse to negotiate with Republicans about the budget. If they can’t have Obamacare fully funded without discussion, then nobody can use national property. (Nyah. Nyah.)
POINT TWO: Obama lifted the restriction on the use of publicly-owned national property to serve his personal political agenda.
“We are not going to ship back 12 million people, we’re not going to do it as a practical matter. We would have to take all our law enforcement that we have available and we would have to use it and put people on buses, and rip families apart, and that’s not who we are, that’s not what America is about. So what I’ve proposed… is you say we’re going to bring these folks out of the shadows. We’re going to make them pay a fine, they are going to have to learn English, they are going to have to go to the back of the line…but they will have a pathway to citizenship over the course of 10 years.” (Obama – http://www.usamnesty.org/)
President Obama has knowingly converted the National Mall (owned by We the People) to his personal use. That is a crime punishable by a fine and/or up to ten years imprisonment.
18 USC § 641 – Public money, property or records
Whoever embezzles, steals, purloins, or knowingly converts to his use or the use of another, or without authority, sells, conveys or disposes of any record, voucher, money, or thing of value of the United States or of any department or agency thereof, or any property made or being made under contract for the United States or any department or agency thereof; or Whoever receives, conceals, or retains the same with intent to convert it to his use or gain, knowing it to have been embezzled, stolen, purloined or converted— (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/641).
If the President breaks a law, abuses his power, violates the public trust and/or employs the power of his office for an improper purpose or for personal gain, he commits an impeachable offense.
Article 2 Section 4 addresses impeachment. “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
“High Crimes and Misdemeanors” are:
1. Real criminality — breaking a law
2. Abuses of power
3. Violation of public trust — defined by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers
4. Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office
5. Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain — personal gain does not have to be material or monetary
