Are you effing kidding me?
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:
Good grief…

If that troll, #28-loach (or is that “roach”?) were actually GOP, he would have said “we”, not “you”.
What a jerk-off bedwetter.
Heh, seems that Dallas Wittgenfeld doesn’t not doxing is severely frowned up by the FBI and the courts. Is his comment above his very own Barrett Brown moment?
Dear Loach,
Go ye forth and procreate upon thyself before expiring.

We can only hope Obama is sleeping when Sally Jewell calls to see if she can deploy the tanks.
Find a Federal piece of land that the Occupy Wall Street nitwits camped on for free for weeks, and occupy that by force. Would conservatives be allowed to stay?
“Go ye forth and procreate upon thyself before expiring.”
I love it–I will have to use that one sometime–
Can I have a thousand marbles please?
@56: Help yourself. Glad to provide amusement.
I don’t see a lot of difference between what is going on now, and what led to the French Revolution in 1789. Seveeral years of drought had left farmers in the French countryside with barely enough to feed themselves, never mind ship what they harvested to Paris to the tables of Lousi XVI and his silly wife. (The drought was good for the wine, however. Drought concentrates sugar in the grape.) Widespread drought and hard winters had hurt the wheat crops, driving up the cost of bread (the staple of the French diet). Many of France’s poor could hardly afford to eat. The Kingdom’s defecit was at all time high. The nation was deep in debt due to the costly wars and foreign policies of King Louis XVI’s predecessors, Louis XIV and Louis XV. An unfair feudal taxation system was still in place where the Clergy and the Nobility were exempt from paying taxes, while the peasants and the bourgeoisie were the sole supporting tax base. Such an unfair system of taxation led to 98% of the French population supporting the 2% which constituted the Nobility, the Clergy, and the Royal Household. In addition, the unemployment rate in Paris, a city of 600,000 was 150,000 people, or 25%. Conspicuous consumption and decadent lifestyles of the Royal Court and the Nobility at Versailles were driving the kingdom deeper into debt. While peasants were starving, the Royal Court was throwing lavish soireés and banquets. Such an indifferent attitude towards the kingdom’s problems galvanized public opinion against the monarchy. That famous line of Marie Antoinette’s comes from her asking why the peasants were rioting. When she was told that they had no bread to eat (a staple of their diet), she said, “Then give them cake to eat.” And of course, the dismissive attitude of the king and his wife resulted in their being separated from their heads. (For the record, Robespierre later met with the same fate.) Now, we don’t need to haul out the guillotine. We simply take back our country. This business of ‘making it as painful as possible’ is… Read more »
