The National Air and Space Museum in Washington was closed Saturday after anti-war demonstrators swarmed the building to protest a drone exhibit and security guards used pepper spray to repel them, sickening a number of protesters.
Smithsonian spokesman John Gibbons said a large group of demonstrators, estimated at 100 to 200 people, arrived at about 3 p.m. and tried to enter the National Mall museum. When a security guard stopped group members from entering, saying they could not bring in signs, he was apparently held by demonstrators, Gibbons said. A second guard who arrived used pepper spray on at least one person and the crowd dispersed, he added.
A number of groups have been demonstrating in the city in the past week. The group that arrived at the museum Saturday included individuals taking part in the October 2011 Stop the Machine demonstration in the city's Freedom Plaza, which has an anti-war and anti-corporate greed message. The group also included protesters affiliated with Occupy D.C., a group modeled on the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City. Occupy D.C. has been holding marches and meetings in Washington's McPherson Square.
David Swanson, 41, of Charlottesville, Va., said he was among dozens of people sickened by the pepper spray. He said he got sick even though he was outside the building when the spraying began.

Sounds like they are finally tightening up their message. Good job, stoners! Last week, my local protest depicted a couple of college scuzzbags who were too stoned to even hold up their signs and they couldn't even tell the reporter why they were there. But I have no doubt that their ex-hippie Vietnam-protest-era parents are totally proud of them.
“When a security guard stopped group members from entering, saying they could not bring in signs, he was apparently held by demonstrators,”
So what really happened was that the crowd overpowered and imprisoned the security guard.
Hey, if those loopers are Vegans they can stop by the White Hut - where they're having Gunga-Lagunga Saladin for dinner every night...

but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."
...so at least they still got that going for them - which is nice. [CarlSpacklerVoice -OFF]

These protests are is his bet.
He is all in.
It is comical in a way...the protesters would only be in DC...for the anti-Wall Street rally, and for some reason, got all peppered up and confused, then parted off from the anti-Wall Street folks. At some point in their interviews with the MSM...they wanted to refer to drones as “weapons of mass destruction”....which didn’t really go over too well.
I often wonder if this country will wake up before we end up in another World War. As long as we allow communism to exist in our midst, we will have these problems. Especially since it continues to grow. People use the idea of Freedom of Speech to justify other peoples views on communism. The problem with this is that they have to take responsibility for their speech. When it gets to the point that the average American no longer wants that speech, they will flush our system of communism. Communism does not fit in our society and its only purpose is the destruction of the United States. Communism has never worked in any other country and destroys everything it touches. Will our people ever wake up to this fact? Yes, we need changes in our country but communism is not the change we want.
When things get bad, I wonder if Obama can get those bedroom slippers back on as easily as he got them off.
And besides...The Air and Space Museum? What next? the enviro-nazis storm the Botanical Gardens to free the shrubs?
David Swanson is a professional Left wing agitator. He was one of those clowns who interrupted President Bush speaking at a naturalization ceremony at Monicello back in 2008.
The schools are Marxist indoctrination centers and the Media is their reinforcement. These mobs are products of books that deconstruct everything good about America and teach them that lies are “truth”: heather has two mommies;homosexual acts are “good”; capitalism is “evil”; feel good, do it; the idea of God is stupid and irrational; Che is a hero; all white men are rapists and oppressors; “colored” people are saints and good.
After years of lies, they can’t think. The ex-KGB in the 70’s said that they have inserted “cognitive dissonance” into the textbooks and after years of listening to the nonsense, it is virtually impossible for them to reason and use logic. That is why Michael Savage has said that leftists are mentally ill....he is right—these people are ignorant and have no foundation of logic and truth—they are irrational. Not only that, their immaturity level is that of a 5 year old.
They have been plied with “self esteem” and overprotectiveness for decades and removed from reality, and, therefore, made into useless crybabies. The men are de-masculinated and the women are taught to hate men and their own nature, bodies and children—so they can kill them. Lenin devised this plan for “useful idiots” and to destroy the natural family. He put in “daycares” and destroyed marriage contracts so the kids would be his alone.....just like mothers now have been conditioned to give up their children for indoctrination centers—forced into “work” that never includes raising and nurturing their own offspring who become easily emotionally manipulated and controlled and led into Marxist ideology. The US adopted Marxist-Leninism in the 50’s. Even established Stalin’s ‘Separation of Church and State’ then.
Mother and Fathers transmit knowledge and morality—and if they are not around 24/7 the institutions do it. They do not even raise their “children” anymore—they have allow the state to do it.
John Stuart Mill stated well over a hundred years ago....if you allow government schools to educate your children....it will make slaves of them. They have no care except for power.
We need government OUT of education and to burn all textbooks...otherwise, we will get more stupid fools like those on wall street and at this museum.
‘...security guards used pepper spray to repel them, sickening a number of protesters.’
Only fair. Those long haired, dope smoking, maggot infested, Ron Paul types have been sickening hard working Americans for decades.
“The schools are Marxist indoctrination centers and the Media is their reinforcement”
Had the local station on during luch and they had on High IQ(high school team quiz show). Neither team could answer how many are on the Supreme Court. Sad
Good grief....they probably didn’t even know there are three branches of government. We really do have to get back to local schools....create our own textbooks...kick out government school board members—parents from local schools are the ones to sit on boards and to decide everything. Get back to explicit phonics, logic, mathematics and rhetoric.
The homeschooling networks have some excellent textbooks on every subject.
