#1 It will undoubtedly be the last opportunity for many of them. It may also be the last opportunity for many of us.

#2 I'm still telling Guam locals to expect the US, World Econ to remain bad, iff not worsen, until such time the structures, etc. for OWG is permanently emplaced - IMO widin circa 15-20 years???

#3 No wonder DHS classifies vets as a terrorist threat!

#5 Now the Park Service is building concrete barriers. There is money for forklifts, workers, and concrete barriers but not any to keep the memorial open? This political pure and simple.

#6 Those barriers is where the Democrats lose if the Republicans have anyone that can create a decent campaign commercial.

This will be a good show on how we can run with a minimal government and the Democrats know it so they are acting spiteful to give a false impression.

#7 Reference my link at #4. If there is anything 0bama, the Community Organizer in Chief, knows, it is the power of the symbolic act.

He KNOWS.

The problem is that we are focussing too much on the WW II Memorial, when the actual battlespace in this respect is TARGET RICH.

#8 I understand they are bringing in horse mounted patrols to keep the veterans out,

Obama's committing suicide here, Real Vets won't stand for this, they faced Germans and Japanese, a wooden barrier is nothing, a horse is food, and I wouldn't want to be riding one.

#9 IIRC, the WWII memorial is basically an open plaza. Putting barriers around an open plaza is beyond stupid.
Maybe Rolling Thunder & their buddies can simply roll into DC and BLOCK THE PUBLIC ROADS UNTIL THE MEMORIAL BARRIERS ARE REMOVED.

YES! RT's time has come. Bring sleeping bags and large capacity personal protection devices as well.

Like this Amnesty bill, the rollout failed, and no budget has been passed since he has been Prez. Ohh, the Debt too. heh.
