Cause word came down from the supreme empress that old codgers don’t deserve any respect. Notice it’s pretty easy to bully a bunch of old guys in wheel chairs. But what about the anit-bullying campaign? Doesn’t apply to libs.

Because they fought back when his fellow gays couldn't serve and his fellow blacks were segregated.

Communists have long memories.

And, since they don't believe in God, they have no forgiveness in their hearts.

>> But what about the anti-bullying campaign?

Anti-”bullying” campaigns are only about gay acceptance.

Because one of the first places they kicked his fellow Nazis out of was North Africa.

Because he is a coward and hates history, rallying the lofo language.

This website is not down because it is privately funded just like ALL of the money spent for the memorial. In fact, there were excess monies donated and they are on deposit with the Treasury... a bad investment.

This is a battle that is only worth fighting to make obastard become more bold in his pettiness. This and other lockouts are symbols to be used in the war against the communist occupying the white hut.

http://www.wwiimemorial.com/default.asp?page=funding.asp&subpage=intro

The National World War II Memorial was funded almost entirely by private contributions, as specified in Public Law 103-32. The campaign received more than $197 million in cash and pledges. Support came from hundreds of thousands of individual Americans, hundreds of corporations and foundations, veterans groups, dozens of civic, fraternal and professional organizations, states and one territory, and students in 1,200 schools across the country.

Donated and pledged funds were used to cover the total project costs of approximately $182 million. These costs include site selection and design, construction and sculpture, a National Park Service maintenance fee required by the Commemorative Works Act, groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies, fund raising, and the 11-year administrative costs of the project from its inception in 1993 through completion in 2004.

Remaining funds are held on deposit with the U.S. Treasury in a National WWII Memorial Trust Fund. The funds will be used by the American Battle Monuments Commission solely to benefit the World War II Memorial.

The over 65 vote is majority Republican. Part of the problem we face demographically is that every year 2.5 million (mostly white, majority R voting) people die and are replaced by (mostly minority, HEAVILY D voting) folks.

obama is trying to provoke a “Reichstag Fire” event by antagonizing conservative whites. This is a pattern of behavior, not limited to the closing of the WWII memorial.

The same reason someone spoiling for a fight goes to “your mother” quick as they can.

Maybe it has something to do with his friends in the Muslim Brotherhood and their ties to Nazi Germany harboring a grudge over these guys unceremoniously kicking their friends out of North Africa so many moons ago.

My grandmother has never been solidly in one political camp or the other but it has definitely pissed her off to hear the democrats calling her grandson a terrorist.

I’m glad she was able to make the trip to DC and take part in an act of defiance at 88 years old. She was in the WAVES while my grandfather was in Europe.

Maybe the gutless cowards fear a physical confrontation with younger vets, that won't be bullied.

I don’t think he believed these old heroes would fight back. He greatly misunderstood and underestimated them. Maybe, we should give them all their old Garands back and let them fix this mess.

They got rid of a few tyrants in their youth.

They’re easy to pick on - they are old guys in wheelchairs. That’s what bullies like - easy pickins.
