I hope this blatant discrimination is also cut off at the knee, uprooted and shoved where the sun don't shine.

Thank you for this observation, very important!


At a minimum if it’s learned there is any VA Clinic in America discriminating against anyone there should be 10,000 patriots there the next day physically forcing that to not happen anyway possible. I am not in the physical shape to confront Nazi fascist pigs like this. That’s why I say there needs to be 10,000 of us and that way actual force wouldn’t be necessary. We better realize this is coming. They are clearly not going to stop and they are clearly going to make it worse and worse and every one of these actions is an act of VIOLENCE . We better get that in our fucking heads pretty soon.

Sorry, not mad at you, but I am getting frustrated with people that will go out of their way to find some reason why this isn’t really a big deal that isn’t really a big deal oh and that isn’t really a big deal either etc. they’re here. they’re everywhere. It’s driving me nuts.
