WWII Memorial Barricade Wired Shut
Weekly Standard ^ | OCT 4, 2013 | JOHN MCCORMACK

Posted on 10/04/2013 7:54:51 AM PDT by MeshugeMikey

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:

I can’t help but think that they are calling us to the slaughter.

Levin has thrown down the gauntlet and many on both sides noticed.

After yesterday, I think the Obama administration will point to the incident as backing to their position of blocking the memorial.

It also tells me a likely outcome if we try and defy Obama’s position.

If Levin says he’s going, I am going.

Obama has also closed all historic sites to the public.

“No Doubt!! Pure vindictiveness!!”

How dare people find ways NOT to feel the pain OBASTARD wants them to. Next steps, machine gun nests around the reflecting pool and cover the Washington Monument with a huge tarp!

Yes, but Tom Hanks also said that he wished that Obama could have a 3rd term.

There's money to reinforce barricades during a govt shutdown to keep WWII Heroes out so that they miss a once in a lifetime opportunity...

...but there's not enough money to secure our borders?!?!

Has The Federal Penitentiary at Leavonworth Kansas been shutdown?

I certainly hope that if it has been it will be re opened in plenty of time to house the man sure to become it's most infamous inhabitant.

*OBayMe and his Regime are spitting in the eyes of We The People and all those who serve, past, present, and future. Include in that the families and widows. Harry Reid, Pelosi, Durbin, Schumer, RATs and RINOs alike, are showing us their arrogance and their personal quest for power at all costs.*

I think more and more people seeing this tyrannical behavior are causing more people to want to “step off the plank” that is in the famous cartoon.

Any bets on whether the “insurgents” that would oppose such chicanery and have the gall to step over the barricades will be prosecuted to the full extent of whatever Zero and his DOJ asshat call the law? They won’t prosecute illegals, even repeat offenders with violent histories, but you can bet they will prosecute the patriots who offered their all to keep us free and safe.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

I think it’s time for us of us to separate from Washington DC-—

Disgraceful way to treat WW2 vets just to prove his little point. Probably spent more in three days with his barricades than spent on maintenance all year.
