| WWII Memorial Barricade Wired Shut | |
| 2013-10-05 | |
| [WEEKLYSTANDARD] On 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:

| #15 These veterans didn't eliminate communist/socialist aggression and we don't give adamn about you arrogance with mish mash demonstrations and then getting dragged away. They went straight at them and decked their asses. |

| #13 Time to give them some hind end. Give them some Occupy. Why can only one group be controlled and marginalized. When the majority want to act why are they the only ones that have to play by the rules?. You stand up to a bully. Defy and overwhelm with shear numbers. |

| #12 I've been too busy/tired lately to keep up with the mainstream crap, let alone the blogs, so forgive me if this is stale stuff. As appealing as confrontation is, confrontation for its own sake is a big mistake at this point. Instead of a mishmash of vets, bikers, wannabes, and the inevitable crazies and provocateurs, "we" should be organizing small rock-solid groups -- vets, active duty, grannies, scouts, whatever -- to show up and volunteer to act as docents/guards. "We're NOT the gov't and we're here to help." Perfect civics class optics, whether they get into position unchallenged, are turned away, or are dragged away. Perfect message: What's the big deal? We don't need apathetic boartits herding us around OUR holy places. We'll handle it cheerfully, casually, on a volunteer basis, like Americans do (folklorically speaking). Angry armed bearded bikers with boltcutters scare me, and I practically are one. Solid well-spoken diverse-looking citizens "naively" showing up to help out like it's no big deal is what we need. Let the bastards haul away granny wearing a Statue of Liberty tiara. Boy and Girl Scouts. Mexican mormons singing spirituals. Team Rubicon t-shirts. Film that shit, with a hundred angry bikers jeering in the background. Just one milquetoast's opinion. |

Corpse Men Benghazi on-your-own Step away from politics for a second as far a jersey wearing - is it not apparant what this group thinks of you? And am I right with honorflight.org? I don't really have a memorial to me, and thats fine they earned it, so Ima thinking about visiting our dog faced soldiers from WWI. |

| #5 ...I think the response to the vets retaking their memorial - the MASSIVE response in barricading anything the Government can reach, and in doing so making a clear and obvious mockery of the "we're-out-of-money" meme - is telling. They are AFRAID of us. If there was ever a time to make the point about who runs this nation, this would be it. Mike |

| #2 Yeah - I can just see the picture headline now: "James Jones, age 87, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge as an 18 year old infantryman, is arrested in his wheel chair by a National Park Service mounted ranger. Jones later suffered a heart attack and died" |

| #1 Obama is a thug. Plain and simple. Only one way to handle a thug: straight up challenge him and kick his ass. |
