The Greatest Generation

And now little kids should storm the Whitehouse to get their tours (sometimes planned a year or two in advance) that the Obama administration cut months ago to make sure the sequestration caused as much pain as possible.

God bless the Vets.

Some of Ace's commenters have pointed out that the WW1 monument wasn't closed---just the one that would be attended by living vets and their families. Also, there were pre-printed signs about the shutdown indicating it was planned much in advance and not in the past 24 hours.

Looks like Rep. Steve King should be credited with an assist, as he distracted the Park Police while the vets took down the barriers.

This is how you fight the Alinskyite wind- up toy in the White House, and spit on their bull$hit " shutdown "narrative.

From the article..."Park Police were not sure how to "react""....or words to that effect.

No doubt...

Directing civil servants to barricade a normally unstaffed monument....less is more? or is more less?

In other news FLOTUS....Moochelle....tweets that cutbacks will limit her tweeting...a free thingy....

Wanna bet the Kobe beef still graces the WH table?

And while the WW11 vets are at it they should keep right on marching right into the Oval Orifice and tell this "commander in chief" what they really think of the first communist leader of the USA.

Only the monument that would be visited by living vets and their families were shut down? What a coincidence. Not.

Had this been an event featuring Tea Party members, I'm sure that the riot police would have been called out. But even the most liberal bureaucrats in the Beltway recognize that it would have been bad politics to shut out honoured war veterans.

So -- expect this story to die a quick and quiet death in the media. Can't interfere with the Democrat narrative after all: that shutting down the government interferes with daily life and that it's all the Republicans' fault.

This great generation (probably the last gen of constitutional Americans , who are now branded terrorist) must weep for America seeing the criminal regime in DC that strangles the republic. God bless them all.

There's more information at this link... especially in the updates.

The real story here is that a government that is supposedly shut down has put on extra staff to keep people away from this memorial and is threatening to arrest anyone who tries to get into a "shut down" memorial site.

If there's anything that shows the hatred that Obozo has for American history, this is it. To make this government shutdown hit closer to home, the WH should be blockaded and no deliveries of any kind be permitted to the chimp in chief and other members of the self-declared US monarchy. If Obozo or other parasites want to eat, they can line up with the homeless at the nearest soup kitchen.

One also hopes there is no money to pay for homeland security goons and security theater actors at US airports. Things would function far more smoothly if these statist morons took a holiday.

IMHO, more people should start pushing BS out of the way to get done what should be done.

I think the right has been lulled into a passive state in the last 30 years... nice to see the "old school" doing what they see fit needs to be done.

You see, it doesn't have to get "violent". The left are pussies..... (no offense ladies) Just do it.

What arrogance the US government has to blockade memorials and parks which belong to the tax payers. Not the bureaucrats who are entrusted to maintain them.

I hope the US government shutdown never ends

Hey Barack Obama, you are President of the government of the U.S.A.? You didn't build that.

UPDATE ON THIS _

Obama’s Regime Bullies Now Threatening To Arrest Honor Flight WWII Veterans
"It’s bad that the Obama administration deliberately – deliberately – targeted the WWII monument for special restrictions after a veterans’ group made the mistake of thinking that Barack Obama is a reasonable man who runs a reasonable executive branch, and thus would treat that group’s request for assistance with the respect that it deserved.

But this is the nasty part. This is the part where the spite comes into play… the WWII Memorial does not have a permanent security presence, which means that there is actually no valid, ethical reason why the Obama administration could presume to shut it down for the public. Not that the administration actually needs one. So they proactively locked down a previously-open national monument, and then presumed to tell the men whose sacrifice it honored that those men were not welcome at that place."

This Memorial was targeted by government because it was high profile and the Vets are a group who probably do not support the Dems in a big way. They want Americans to 'pay the price' of a shutdown out of spite and as an attempt to create backlash against the GOP.

Stay tuned for other orchestrated events such as this.

This purposeful move will back fire on Obama. Not being a real American . I don't think he even understands the reaction this will cause. Including the red dipper babies who hate their own Nation who surrounds him. They only understand force or rules. Pride. Patriotism with loyalty is a desert to their souls.
Empty vessels pretending to hold wine.
Good on the Vets.

Democrats Pay Union Members to Protest World War II Vets

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2013/10/democrats-pay-union-members-to-protest-world-war-ii-vets.php

Can this POTUS scumbag stoop any lower? What a d**chebag. It's un-bee-lee-va-BULL that he's "the leader of the free world."

I think that accolade now goes to PM Stephen Harper.
