Republican Sarah Palin expressed outrage after veterans accused her of politicizing PTSD. Palin has blamed her son’s alleged assault of his girlfriend on the current president, Barack Obama, because, it appears, she thinks Obama disrespects veterans. “It’s the Democrats who politicize PTSD,” said Palin. “They think they can throw money at the problem with their nanny state solutions, like healthcare and job training. That just creates another problem—post Democrat stress disorder. Right? Right? Then they’ll create a program for that, and you’ll get your unions in there—Democrats just love their union money; it’s heroin for them. And Obama’s their big daddy dealer in the big house, the White House. But will they even wear a flag pin to show that good, godly, Christian love for our veterans that means so much to them when they’re cold or hungry or threatening to shoot someone? Will the Democrats do even that little patriotic thing? No.” In other news, Iowa Republican Joni Ernst insisted that she cared about clean water, but did not think stringent regulation was the right approach.
