Sen. Rand Paul blasted the federal government for trying to block World War II vets from visiting their memorial, saying “some idiot in government sent goons out there to set up barricades.” “If Harry Reid and the President want to keep the parks closed — I mean did you read the story today? Some idiot in government sent goons out there to set up barricades, so they couldn’t see the monument. People had to spend hours setting up barricades where there are never barricades to prevent people from seeing the World War II monument because they’re trying to play a charade,” Rand (R-Ky.) said Tuesday on Fox News’s “Hannity.”

Or maybe they heard the remarks and didn’t want to be painted as stupid a-holes since now they know they’ll be in photos and videos.

There is no good reason why any site on the mall and surrounding areas should be closed. They should be open during daylight hours. We don’t need people to hold our hands. Shame on the Democrats!

Arlington should never be closed. If I had someone interred there, I’d be furious! Heck, I’m furious without someone interred.
