Zen
and Henry Waxman’s Legacy

Henry Waxman won and homeless
Veterans lost.

by Robert Rosebrock

Wei Wu Wei, the
legendary Zen Master profoundly noted:

“When you give a
shilling to a beggar do you realize that you are giving it to yourself?

When you help a lame
dog over a stile do you realize that you yourself are being helped?

When you kick a man
when he is down do you realize that you are kicking yourself?

Give him another kick
– if you deserve it!”

So what’s that got to do
with Henry Waxman’s legacy?

Well, if you voted for
Mr. Waxman to a 20^th consecutive term in Congress, then you teamed
up with Henry to continue kicking our downtrodden and downhearted homeless
Veterans.

Congratulations!
Keep kicking the neediest of our Veterans because you deserve it.

Members of the Old
Veterans Guard worked hard toward defeating Mr. Waxman at the ballot box so we
could rid him from furthering his abuse and neglect toward our homeless
Veterans, but 54% voted against homeless Veterans while 46% voted in their
favor.

Thus, Mr. Waxman will
continue with his secretive, backroom wheeling-and-dealing as he uses Veterans
property to reward special favors for his voters and cronies.

Fellow Veterans now look
forward to initiating serious Congressional and FBI Investigations into what is
clearly the biggest land fraud scandal in American history that produced some
of the most heinous crimes against humanity … against our disabled and
disadvantaged homeless Veterans.

As chairman of the
Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, Henry Waxman investigated
allegations of abuse against terrorist detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
Guantanamo Bay, but he never once investigated the actual abuse of disabled and
homeless Veterans in his own Congressional District.

Amazingly, Mr. Waxman had
the temerity to state: “The reports
of detainee abuse are undermining one of our nation’s most valuable assets: our
reputation for respect for human rights.”

Huh? This, coming from
the person who is solely responsible for some of the greatest abuse against
human and civil rights on American soil when he refused to provide humanitarian
relief and care for disabled and disadvantaged Veterans and forced them to live
homeless and hungry in unsafe and inhumane conditions.

Mr. Waxman’s cronyism and
malicious conduct have been going on for nearly four decades since he took
office about the same time the Vietnam War ended in 1975.

Congressman Waxman, who
is not a Veteran, likes to boast about fighting against the Vietnam War during
his college years. Meanwhile those who fought in the Vietnam War and came back
seriously disabled have been shamelessly abused and abandoned by the
Congressman.

In sum, Mr. Waxman fought
against the Vietnam War and then failed to defend our disabled and homeless
Veterans who fought in that War.

As a result, 47 percent
of today’s homeless Veterans are from the Vietnam War era with many in their
60’s, 70’s and 80’s, and in frail and declining health. Incredulously,
Henry has refused to stand up in their defense and continues to kick them while
they’re down.

On the other hand, Henry
defended thug terrorists who purportedly were being abused as detainees at Abu
Ghraib and Camp Gitmo. Correspondingly, he irreverently investigated our men
and women in the military who were fighting the war against terrorism in our
behalf.

Henry even subpoenaed the
Secretary of Defense during the terrorist wars but never once investigated a
Secretary of Veterans Affairs on behalf of disabled war Veterans.

Mr. Waxman continuously
defended violent terrorist detainees who wanted to destroy America even as they
had shelter, beds, showers, meals, etc., but he never once defended our
military Veterans who protected America and became homeless and destitute from
their war injuries.

In fact, during his 38
years in Congress, Mr. Waxman never once investigated the misuse of Veterans
property in his own District that led to Los Angeles becoming our nation’s
capital for homeless Veterans.

Even worse, Henry never
appropriated $1 for a bed or a blanket for homeless Veterans in Los Angeles.

That’s Henry Waxman’s
true legacy.

So, why would anyone ever
vote for someone with this kind of callous and unpatriotic history unless they
get a kick out of kicking themselves while bankrupting their good Karma
account?

Thanks to the 46% who
voted to help our homeless Veterans. You will get a kick out of
knowing this: You invested wisely in your good Karma account.

God Bless America
and the Veterans Revolution!
