Americans who want to honor and reflect upon the memory of the crew and passengers who perished aboard United Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001 will find that the federal government has blocked the road four miles down from the open-air memorial near Shanksville, Pa.

CNSNews.com photographed the spot of the road closure this past weekend. The steel barrier blocking vehicles from passing says: “Because of the federal government shutdown, this National Park Service facility is closed.” …

I think that it was when I saw the design that I knew my country was dead, then, and when the current president was elected.

When Bussh 2 called islam the "Religion of peace" i knew we were dead meat.

Islam is a cult, not a religion, and is based on torture and murder. We were toast when Bush 2 tried to placate the cultists right after 9/11..

That's the whole point; he really wants to inflict maximum pain.

Thanks, Nachum. Wonder if he kicks his dog?

Why are flies always crawling around on 0? Moo-shellie once said he smells bad.

The line I quoted is from a 1969 song called “Monster” by the group Steppenwolf. You can listen to it on You Tube. Eerily, it is appropriate today as well.

100%...

The spirit was freedom and justice And its keepers seemed generous and kind Its leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind Cause the people grew fat and got lazy Now their vote is a meaningless joke They babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

 
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into the noose And it just sits there watchin'
 
The cities have turned into jungles And corruption is stranglin' the land The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us Now we are fighting a war over there No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost
 
'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into the noose And it just sits there watchin'
 
America, where are you now Don't you care about your sons and daughters Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster
 
America, where are you now Don't you care about your sons and daughters Don't you know we need you now

Not sure about that, but he has been looking kind of hungry lately...

“They are pushing us to civil disobedience.”

They only need ONE incident to kick off a massive media sh**storm, and they know it.

Liberals can threaten to kill people, get convicted of crimes, and generally cause mayhem and the media will remain blind.

But let ONE Conservative “Tea Partier” go off the handle, and it will be an excuse for a ceackdown the likes of which this nation has ever seen. And that same blind media will cheer it on, wildly.

It was just like this in 1930’s Germany, too. Wake up, folks.”

Yes, they will incite violence. There is nothing that want more than that and they’ll pretend that it was the Tea Party or a rightist group. Obama and his entourage are not working for America or the American people. Only hate for all America stands for would lead anyone to do what they are doing. The perpetrator of this is more sinister than the Grinch that Stole Christmas or Batman’s nemesis The Joker. This enemy is real and occupying the highest office of the land.

If the Media gave that Protest as much air time as say, Trayvon, there would be a major shift in Public Opinion.

Sadly, it isn’t meant to be. Instead the News reports are of one guy with a Confederate Flag showing up and another guy spouting off about Revolution in front of the camera.

The Veterans who were there are being ignored. My Country should be ashamed of the people who they trust to run our Government and those who only report what fits their agenda.

I don't think he would kick his namesake: BO the dog, as in Barack Obama. That Barack, he is sooooo slick. So he thinks.

First you have to have a REAL CONSERVATIVE to run, and kick out all the RINOS like romney who was nothing but obama lite.

Like many at FR I am tired of have only the choice between a rat and a rino. I want a real conservative. And it is NOT RYAN, RUBIO, CHRISTIE, who all sold their souls to the devil.

It’s costing us more to shutdown than to stay open.

**********
Later in the morning there was an Honor Flight of WWII vets coming to see the memorial. I don’t know all the facts surrounding this but their bus was not allowed to drive up to the memorial; it was stopped about 50 yards away. It appeared to me that this was at the direction of the police.

In any case these national heros had to be wheeled up to the memorial where they were greeted by two rows of an impromtu welcoming committee. You’ve probably seen this on the news (if you watch Fox).

The point I’m trying to make is that after all their sacrifices, why wasn’t the bus allowed to pull up to the WWII memorial? Isn’t that the least a grateful country should do for them?

By contrast, earlier in the week the government made sure that the illegals gathered on the National Mall had every convenience. Just sayin....

LOCAL NEWPAPER IN SOMERSET COUNTY, PA.

Stated that over 20,000 folks were
denied a visit at the Flight 93 Memorial during the ‘shut down’...

during the Fall of 2012 over 1,200 buses stopped at the Memorial, and the facility has 13 employees there..that surprised me for this small depressed area..

PRAY FOR AMERICA...
