Tuesday morning, seven National Park Service employees were seen erecting and tending to a barricade around the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C. One NPS employee was operating a forklift. There usually aren't any NPS employees working at the World War II memorial.
A couple hours later, when an Honor Flight of World War II veterans arrived, accompanied by Democratic and Republican members of Congress, the fences blocking the memorial were easily moved away, allowing the veterans to enter.
But the barriers are still at the memorial, and they've been reinforced. This morning, I walked by the memorial and noticed that wires had been used to tie the fences together:

THIS COMMENT WAS MADE IN JEST and as Entertainment and is not to be construed as the opinion of The Free Republic or any of it’s posters or donating members or anyone else for that matter. I do however think it twould be in the public interest.....
Doubt it!!
its all for the GOOD..... of the Alinsky Party...
Ya think a non violent Protest Might Just Be In Order?
Tom Hanks can just shut up.
If that's true, I welcome the news! The Republicans should have invited willing Democrats to go with them from the very first.
This cannot be spun as a GOP vs. Obama issue. Because it's really a WW II vets vs. Obama issue.
Tom Hanks can go to hell
“One word: pliers!”
Assault pliers are not allowed in DC.
(I actually like another Freeper’s suggestion of buying a bunch of cheap wire cutters and passing them out to the WW2 vets as they visit the memorial.)
You fumb duck obama, these guys know how to use Bangalore torpedoes.

Lets throw his own words back at him; “You didn’t build this!”
I know I donated to the Memorial. In order to submit names of WWII veterans, you paid a certain amount ($25/person — I THINK). If you submitted a picture of the person, it was an additional fee. Then, when the Memorial was well under way, they requested additional donations, all of which I and millions of others donated to. There was no mention of federal funds being used to help with this memorial.

The Budget Fight and Obamas Vindictive Streak
The president thinks negotiating with his ideological opponents on the budget is beneath him.
By Jonah Goldberg
Shutting down the government in an effort to use a budget fight to get rid of Obamacare is not the strategy I would have recommended for the GOP. And while Republicans can be blamed for starting the shutdown, its increasingly apparent that President Obama and the Democrats deserve the lions share of blame for not only prolonging it but also making it as painful as possible.
Imagine the opportunities....
I was bumped up to a Vice President, it might have been the President, of the company.
The Barrycades were PURCHASED by the Park service years ago. They are NOT BEING RENTED by SONCO. They are not happy with the situation and have been getting calls and emails.
I would have to say SONCO gets a pass on this one. They are not involved.

Me too.
I’m with you.
I don’t understand how anyone can relish Obama’s ‘victories’.
I will never understand how an America-hating, small minded, envious, lying, anti-Christian, Marxist, con-man like Barack Hussein Obama could be elected President of the greatest nation on earth. Twice.
But apparently many Americans think their fellow citizens need to be put in their place. The new morality is to covet the fruit of your neighbor’s labours, and to take it by force if they object. Anyone who stands against the looting must be punished.
God save the United States of America.
And Im wondering what are they going to do next hang a drapery over Mt. Rushmore? I mean, this is ridiculous!
IF the regoime could manage the details....they WOULD!
