over the 12 years or so I've been here I've had maybe one or two people on my ignore. I must have over 60 now.

and I would never have imagined that we would see people calling education and medical care "free stuff" and cheering on wars.

It's very sad. I remember how supportive and educational this place used to be. Now, it's Free Republic for Hillary.

ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, Va. — President Barack Obama marked his final Memorial Day as president by paying tribute to fallen U.S. soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.

He laid a wreath at the cemetery’s Tomb of the Unknown Solider and delivered remarks at a ceremony honoring those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice in combat.

At Section 60 of the cemetery, families and friends of fallen soldiers began gathering early Monday morning to pay tribute to their loved ones.

Their presence serves as a reminder that the U.S. military is still engaged in dangerous efforts across the Middle East.

Section 60, in the southeast part of the cemetery, is the burial ground for military personnel killed in the Global War on Terror since 2001.[64]

Just like the other day when a Hillary supporters posted that the Patriot Act was a good thing because it keeps America safe.
These people are completely whacked.
