The US Park Police were trying to close off the WWII Memorial as part of Obama's Shutdown Theater. Congressman Steve King and a veterans group over-ran the barricades and are occupying the Memorial.

Since vets are the new terrorists, can’t wait for CNNABCNBCCBS to spin this.

Go, Vets!

Was John Kerry there?

[Eleutheria5]

TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Who better to watch over such a thing... there ought to be veterans (as would be available, of course) volunteering to do it all the time, gummit shutdown or not.

Circumstantial poetry here.

Just wait’ll some of the locals start moving barricades and see the trash they leave behind.

Pathetic that the executive branch would close off these memorials.

I sure hope illegal immigrants are stuck at the border in this shutdown. We need barricades at the border. hahaha /sarcasm

Ha! I’d like to see Bathhouse Barry look these vets in the eye and tell them that they aren’t welcome at their own memorial.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. Lock and load.

[Truth29]

Is this being reported in any of the major media? I just saw a Fox News report on the shutdown that used the World War II memorial being closed off and the police line tape being shown as an example. There were no vets or other civilians in the shot so the Memorial looked deserted.

[GeronL]

It belongs to the public especially those who served!!

[longtermmemmory]

This is just one FUBO. The people (voters) KNOW this is just theater. These sites don’t “close”.
