The Obama administration is adding more barricades at the World War Two Memorial in Washington, D.C. this morning, according to reporters on the scene.

The reinforcements are being put in place apparently to prevent a repeat of yesterday when WWII veterans aided by several Republican Congressmen pushed aside barricades to visit their memorial.

Buzzfeed got no response from the White House last night when queried about the administration closing the memorial to veterans.

A report last night claimed that the Park Service would arrest veterans who attempt to visit the WWII Memorial.

WTH.

It’;s our monument, it’s the vets monument, they fought and saw people die and now this bastard won’t let them see it because he thinks he;s a dictator who wants his own way.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security..."

I would love some type of live thread. Any links to tweets or on the ground reporters?

Stand by. I expect this will serve as Live Thread

ALL: Please read my tagline. Jim Rob is coming home today. His surgery is rescheduled for next week.

When I used to complain about having it rough my WWII wounded father would tell me basically...

"When you have used a helmet to dig a hole to take a $h!+ in, get back to me..."

Damn the torpedoes veterans!

Really, I thought the park services and such were shut down. Evidently some folks are working.

The begining of the end for Obama.

Unless you're ordering barricades that I'm not aware of...

I tried to be nice and keep it off the board. But, I guess that went over your head.

[SatinDoll]

I think you mean “insurrection”.

[ken5050]

Silly you..people who put up barricades to keep us out are obviously deemed “essential employees..”

[Resolute Conservative]

Me too. Be a good time for another biker motorcade or some sort of impromptu Tea Party event.

I hate to nitpick, but whoever made that pic misspelled “Arschloch”.

[Travis McGee]

I’d love to see thousands of veterans meeting there, to see what the Obamanazis would do.

I saw a pic of vets carrying those signs around yesterday. If they would sign those and auction them off, the could make a pile of money for Honor Flight.

White House deputy press secretary Eric Shultz comments on Twitter about WWII Memorial closing:

"@thegarance Anyone ask the very GOPers upset w/ the WWII mem if they'd support a clean CR? EVERY memorial would reopen, as would the govt"

Schultz repeated that answer (with some variation) to several reporters on Twitter.

[Biggirl]

The start of the “revolt” by the American people!

[Pajamajan]

How is it that they have money to do this? Not to mention its scummy.

[who knows what evil?]

Excellent! It needs to go NATIONAL, though.

[MaxMax]

This should remind us that there are willing participants in America who will also
kill fellow Americans if ordered to do so. Which is why we have the 2nd Amendment.

defeating Nazis is definitely not part of the Transformational agenda, is it?
