Joey, I quoted the words you wrote. You should work on your writing composition if you want me to work on my reading comprehension. You said in your own word "IT IS MY CHOICE TO ACCEPT OR NOT ANY BENEFITS THAT ARE OFFERED(offered by whom?) TO ME AS A RESULT OF SOMETHING I ACHIEVED. Then...You go on to say..."unlike you that expects/feels entitled to the same things as other without lifting a finger to earn those RIGHTS". Joey, your cognitive dissonance is causing you to forget everything you've written, and turn it around to make it look like I'm interpreting your words to mean something you never wrote. You stated IN YOUR OWN WORDS that you have many "benefits" that you can choose or not choose to use, and it's because of something you've achieved, and that I have not lifted a finger to EARN(yes, your word, not mine) those "rights"(yes, again your word)
So which is it Joey? Do you have "earned rights" or government "benefits". See, I believe that "rights" are inherent, and you do not earn them, you are born with them. You on the other hand believe you have special rights, that others cannot have those rights, because they haven't "achieved" what you achieved.
Yes, that is the America you fought for. The America that gives "rights" based on some sort of select "achievements" decided on by the government.
Okay Cissy...let's try this... (1) The "perks" (as I will call them) are not all "Government benefits" (as you've stated). Try reading what was written again! DUH! (2) I did not say that "I" earned anything...as you've quoted me correctly. I stated that you do nothing to earn what others have... you just feel entitled. For the record, I am referring to "everything", not just Veteran perks...you feel you should have what everyone else has without having to lift a finger....i.e. "earn". That's why you are a ME ME person, aka WIIFM!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

I'm specifically talking about government benefits(or perks, rights, whatever you are calling them now). Since the government must take forcibly from one person and give to another. Home Depot and Lowes can do what they want, I don't have to shop there. But I can't avoid government theft without risking incarceration.
Again...what did you achieve that gives you government "perks" that I did not "earn" those "rights"?(earned rights-lol)
You continue to regurgitate the same old crap...if you don't like it then do something to change it! Stop wasting your time behind the computer and get off your a** and do something about it! Nah, that's not you. Whine, complain, b**ch and moan and groan...that's Cissy and his Cissy games!!!!!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

Joey, I'm not complaining...Just pointing out the facts. I don't complain about you welfare queens. That truly is a waste of time. I just comment about it. That's the first step in "doing something about it" - identifying those that don't look like the stereotypical welfare queens, and pointing them out to those who don't see it.
So go enjoy your "achievements" and "perks" and "benefits" and "rights". You've "EARNED" them. LOL
I've never seen, in my many decades on this earth, such a disrespect for those members of the military that served their country. Right or wrong, moral or immoral - these people put their lives on the line, serving the rest of the country (and those that ran to foreign soil) - guaranteeing the rights of those that protest against them.
Without our military service members, their dedication and service - we'd be nothing more than Syria, Ukraine, Iraq or Russia.
Personally, the rights and privileges afforded to those who have served & sacrificed, aren't enough to repay them for the price THEY paid for your freedom. Thank GOD the world beyond this forum isn't as screwed up in the head as a couple of the comments in this thread.
You don't want to vote? Fine - have a nice day. I won't disrespect a right given to me as an American Citizen by staying home and letting some special interest groups take over this country by stuffing the ballots and getting politicians into office with specific agendas, without a fight.
Thank you to my fellow brothers and sisters who DID serve and help protect that right for all of us!
We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
Welfare Queen...now that is a HOOT! Not complaining???? WOW! That's hilarious! My life is now complete because Cissy Wah-Wah has given me approval to go forward and enjoy!

I'm picturing suds leaking from your skull.
You are welcome to glorify those who kill.
They paid no price for my freedom.
They are brainwashed with patriotic fever, into taking lives based on the words of another.
People kill people because numbskulls like you tell them they will be glorified.
They go to battle, they kill people who would likely never even meet an American.
Then they return home and can't live with what they have done, and one veteran commits suicide every 20 seconds of every day.
Killing is not something to glorify.
All that does is perpetuate hate, intolerance and massive destruction.
Your feelings that they deserve special treatment under the laws shows that you have no respect for the Constitution that clearly calls for equal treatment for all by the government.
You want to treat them special, go ahead, but the government is obligated to treat all persons equally.
One last point.
Anyone who claims to have served and killed on my behalf is a self justifying, murderous, liar.
By this, do you mean we'd be nothing more than the countries that are bombed, or threatened to be bombed by the US military? I agree.
I'm not going to let another country come in and bomb us, and let this country become nothing more than another middle east "territory", if thats what you mean.
Leaders of the US come and go ... nobody liked Bush, he went ... nobody likes Obama, he'll go too. But you'll only get a leader that respects what this country stands for, and is willing to defend our freedom, independence and citizens if you vote.
I'm not gonna sit back and let some other country dictate how I live, where I live, or who I pray to.

I just about spit my coffee out with this one....Funny...cause the great 'u.s. of a' is doing EXACTLY that....and all in the name of political manipulation, power and greed!!!
OH THAT'S RIGHT....they hate us because of our freedoms!!! That's the biggest joke of all!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....they want us the hell out of their country! They want us to stop manipulating their governments! They want us to stop killing/bombing their thousands of innocent women/children!
I can't believe the mentality here....TOTAL BRAINWASH!!! GOV ALMIGHTY HAS DONE A FINE JOB OF IT!!!

Not participating in soldier worship is anti-social behavior in America. Just like not supporting the US bombing of Middle Eastern countries is "isolationism".

Supporters of peace have always been a sore spot for the military.
A statement from a person that is against homicidal problem solving, is scary?
Death and violence are not problem solving tools.
They create more enemies than they destroy.
The US military members claim to be keeping us safe, when in reality, they have made the entire world totally unsafe for Americans.
Every bomb dropped, every round fired, creates an equal and opposite reaction that usually takes the form of revenge and retaliation.
Every non-American killed by US troops or US weapons creates entire families and entire neighborhoods of new enemies.
Example: Ferguson; one man killed by the local military law enforcers created half a city along with half of the nation as new enemies of the militarized police.
50 years ago it was Kent State.
Military action has solved absolutely nothing in the past 50 years.
But we currently have a billion more new enemies than we had 50 years ago.
Americans are hated more today around the world than any other time in history.
I've never seen, in my many decades on this earth, such a disrespect for those members of the military that served their country. Right or wrong, moral or immoral - these people put their lives on the line, serving the rest of the country ...
So right or wrong, moral or immoral, they deserve respect?
They don't serve the people.
They serve the will of politicians.
Hopefully the future generations will see through the propaganda and will just say no to killing people.
Right or wrong, moral or immoral, flag waving hordes are what we see lined up in North Korea.
If the US military members could have their way, they would just shoot anyone who doesn't support them.
The entire world has learned homicidal problem solving from watching us.
The US cops use the same homicidal problem solving tools.
And the government is unable to understand why citizens take the law into their own hands and use the tools they see their leaders using.
