At the WWII Memorial on the National Mall:

So, the WWII memorial is open today... Park police letting everyone by right now. #shutdown

No attempt to stop any WWII visitors right now. Maybe after the congressmen leave ... #shutdown pic.twitter.com/SZmxBfh2cr

As noted in the last post, Congressman Steve King "distracted" the Capitol Park Police while the veterans, per their training, rushed over the barriers.

Here's a brief Vine video of the veterans reclaiming their Memorial from Obama's Shutdown Theater Prop Workshop.

Because Obama is a hateful prick with a deep animus for men with balls.

There was NO reason to shut down the Memorial in the first place.

No reason other than to attempt to inflict PAIN on sight seer's in Washington DC to create photo ops to blame the Republican Party.

God Bless these WW2 Vets. Their actions today show WHY they're truly the greatest generation.

“What dipstick ordered it shut down?”

It had to be Obama or Biden.

They hate America.

I am not sure how it played out, but most articles I read say the Vietnam Memorial would be closed:

“..“Jefferson will be closed,” as well as “MLK, FDR, Ford’s Theatre, Korea, Vietnam,” she said, referring to various Park Service sites. “There’s going to be signs saying that they’re closed, and they will be probably blocked off. We’re limited in how much fencing we can get.”..”

Nothing will lead to another Civil War, but everything will lead to another Revolutionary War.

It was amazing the level of ‘willful’ ignorance they have..and I said so! ..and why that is as well. No they didn’t like it but was frank I am not their “mommy”.

I am determined I will no longer tolerate the intolerant....it feels really great too!

However what drives them to violence is ‘their own decision’ to do whatever they do or refrain from doing...time to grow up.

Why thank you Onyx...but what was most interesting is these immature brats could use all kinds of nasty fowl-mouthed remarks and remain on ...while I was suspended!

It was clearly “silencing the debate”...and therefore truth is not heard and they believe their own lies.

Doesn’t Google run Twitter too? And we know they are fully in the Liberal/Progressive pocket.

I do believe whoever monitored the #shutdown twitter wanted to do just that and let the kiddies play in the cesspool they are in.

Am fully convinced the Progressives will fight to keep our youth “dumb” and ill-informed...and that the Internet is fast being controlled by them.

The barricades weren’t necessary...this was just for the Obama/Demorats stage show. You can’t stop people from “Looking” at Monuments.

Politico suspended me years ago. They now use the Disqus format, so I guess I could jump back in to that cesspool.

I think a Twitter suspension is pretty much a badge of honor ;)
