I hope there is a call for ALL war vets to come to D.C.

Maybe even a special call for us Vietnam vets to show up. An across the board appeal might be better, though. Vets from all our wars, the younger assisting the older, something like that.

It would be quite a huge crowd. Add the recent vets of Iraq and Afghanistan (still young & able-bodied) to that mix & the regime would be terrified, they might even declare it an insurrection & read the riot act.

My father was a WWII vet, I am a Vietnam vet and I have the utmost respect for ALL veterans...The finest generation gives true meaning to the phrase, “Lead, Follow, or get the H*LL outta the way!!!!”

is already in motion.

I noticed that too. What will this country come to when these men are gone. I also noticed that this is part of the group the left derides as “old white males”, or dead white males. I know all WWII vets aren’t white or male, but the overwhelming majority are, especially combat.

Well they will blame Ted Cruz

They should. They can "blame" him right into the Presidential nomination.

PS: Do you see what happened? The Veterans just DID IT ! They didn't wait to evaluate polls to see how the public would feel if they stormed the barricades. That's what people are loving.

And it’s only fitting that these men, men who saved our Republic from a great peril long ago, are showing us the way again.

So why are we sitting on our FReeper butts yacking on a computer site?

Ah but sadly, you're in a numerical minority.

I just posted this on my Facebook page. We need to spread the word.

When a mean spirited person doesn’t get his way, he will retaliate. Our government is FULL of wastefulness and there are thousands of ways to cut costs that would never affect the public, yet Obama has picked out ones that are most important to the people. He closed the ‘people’s house’ - White House to the public and now he’s closed the World War II Memorial to Veterans, who may never have another chance to visit it.

Remember the words of Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s closest advisor; “After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay”.

That’s what anyone has to do in order to win.

Rush does it.

The media is the obstacle and it is the power behind Obama and the dems

Transcending them is the only way.

Winning them over is impossible and it is insane to try

It’s not new.

I am just not going to get excited about the media value of this event.

Because we're working, or off from working, but we're staying informed.

And we're informing others about what our ageing brothers are doing.

I've been spreading the word on my lunch hour as to how the GI's of another age are storming the Barry-cades.

Just so long as we don't see the repeat of the Bonus Army...

All of us came here because we knew the country couldn’t go on the way it was going. So it falls to all of us to take action. We have to ask ourselves if we do nothing, where does all of this end. Can anyone here say that if we can’t do it, someone down the road can do it, and if no one does it, what happens to the country? All of us know the economy would face an eventual collapse. I know it’s a hell of a challenge, but ask yourselves if not us, who, if not now, when? .... Ronald Maximus Reagan

 

These guys. These WWII vets answered the call 70 years ago fighting Socialism and Facism in Europe. Now here they are again fighting Socialism and Facism in the USA.

Well, I guess if they faced down Hitler in '43, then they sure ain't afraid of Obama in '13.

Not at the rate you’re dying off. In my county, an older one at that, in 2014 half the votes will be boomer and above, the other half gen x and below.

Parity has been acheived.
