Yesterday, the Obama Administration got real petty over the partial government shutdown, sending employees to barricade memorial sites around Washington that are normally open 24/7.
Thankfully, one group of WWII vets wasn't having ANY of it - removing barricades, with the help of fantastic GOP Reps. like Steve King (R-IA) and others - and refusing to be denied access to THEIR World War II Memorial.
Well today, another group of WWII vets plan to do the same thing at the Lincoln Memorial, as Weasel Zippers reports...
The same veterans group that managed to storm the gates at the WWII memorial yesterday is planning taking on the fences at the Lincoln Memorial today. This sounds like a capitol idea, pun intended.Members of Congress are reaming Obama over the disgraceful barricading of these open-air public memorials.Both memorials are open air memorials. The Lincoln Memorial is open 24 hours a day, normally. If youll recall, it was wide open to having someone throw green paint on it in the evening a few months ago.
So that means the Obama administration is making a conscious effort to spend more in time and money to shut off something which is normally open.
How ridiculous is this effort by President Obama to make the people hurt so he can blame it on Republicans, just as he did with the sequester, which was also his idea?
We still dont have access to the White House, the peoples house, allegedly because of the sequester, although Obama has spent countless of our millions since then on vacations, parties and golf.
When you have the opportunity to pass bills for veterans and national parks,unconnected to Obamacare, and then dont pass them, or spend more to close spaces then to keep them open, the reason is simply you want to continue to have people feel the pain.
And that, Mr. President, is sick.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted the administration for trying to block the World War II vets yesterday, saying some idiot in government sent goons out there to set up barricades.
This morning those same "goons" - who somehow are on the job despite most certainly being "non-essential" - were setting up fresh barricades around major open-air memorial sites around D.C. (see photo below of their activities at the WWII Memorial around 9am).
As with his absurdly shutting off the "Panda Cam" at the National Zoo - which is already fully-funded by the Ford Motor Company Fund - Obama is using the shutdown as a political tool, just as he disgracefully did with the Sequestration.
Remember, during the sequestration - in fact, before it even took effect - Obama's DHS insanely , citing non-existent budget cuts. Those released aliens contained dozens of violent criminals, most of whom are still at large.
SWA salutes the "Greatest Generation" vets who stormed the beaches, for taking on Obama's goons by storming the memorials this week. We urge anyone in the D.C. Metro area to JOIN THEM, and refuse to be barred from the People's Memorials by political games.
Amen, Patriot.....
Mr. President, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!
And to you, Patriot friend.

Uh, who is yelling that? Only Reid.
The Republicans want to repeal this Cuban healthcare system.
This effort by the House is also restoring some sanity to the legislative process, funding one comprehensible item at a time, rather than a pork-filled omnibus bill.
I suspect that, based upon your nickname, you should be on DU.
To #5. Never underestimate the ability of Obama and his reds and liberal asskissers to do something so low that you could never have thought it possible.
When you’re a marxist striving to build a fullproof dictatorship, nothing is beyond contempt, immorality, or even the unthinkable.
Auschwitz and Dachau, the Bataan Death March, the Gulags, the Killing Fields of the Ukraine and Cambodia, the “pulping of a nation” by assassination and bombings in South Vietnam and now Iraq/Afghanistan, were once unthinkable, but are now realities.
EVIL HAS NO LIMITS AND PURE EVIL IS TOTALLY IMAGINATIVE.
WELCOME TO OBAMA’S WORLD. ‘YES HE DID’!!!!
I think the White House wants a fight with citizens. I sense Obama is ready to impose either military or Sharia law on the US.
It is impossible to underestimate what Obama our impostor president, our Muslim president....is capable of. I'll say it again It is impossible to underestimate what Obama may do.
Utopia is nothing more than another way to say Hell on earth.
This is what they try to create every time.
It is the ultimate expression of mankind’s evil and his desire to control all others.
I didn’t think vampire have a reflection in the mirror. Like a vampire he is trying to suck the life out of this country.
