How many park employees does it take to hang a “closed” sign?
It is time we stop dancing around what is happening: Obama is at war with the American way of life.
There is no earthly reason to shut down open air monuments, or deny WWII vets access to their memorial, save a desire to take out your petulance on the American people, to show your power, and to instill a sense of dread into those who fear getting on the wrong side of a federal government grown far too powerful.
As Neal Boortz notes (perhaps taking his cue from our own Squid), “It takes 90-year-old WWII vets to stand up to our Dear Ruler. The rest of us should be embarrassed and ashamed.” Every inside the Beltway pundit or pol clamoring for capitulation should have this tattooed on his or her neck.
Obama, I’ll say again to an increasingly dwindling readership, was never a “good man.” He was always a Marxist ideologue bent on fundamental transformation. But, to be fair, what we may not have known — even those of us who saw him for what he was ideologically and politically — is just how meanspirited and cold a man he was.
I hope the optics of his latest tantrum disabuses remaining worshippers of the notion that he has the best interests at heart of America as founded.
Oh, sure — give Neal a shout-out, but ignore your long-time commenting stooge.
*sniff* And I thought you really loved meeeeeee!
Somewhere I saw a headline that said “[Democrat pol] says Tea Party has forced closure of WWII Monument” and I laughed and laughed. Yeah, those elderly vets aren’t the Tea Party guys. Or maybe, weren’t until yesterday.
Jeff, it’s not that the president is a vain and petty little man. That’s always been obvious. What’s disheartening is that there are people like the ones in the picture that are willing to go along with this nonsense.

This condition is the whole point of creating job scarcity. Not to say job scarcity will always result in complicit minions, but that it does in sufficient number to be effective as planned.
Oh, sure, they can find enough “essential” money to pay for these barricades to close off an open space, and the people and equipment necessary to put them into place (and even to arrest anyone who tries to walk past the scenery on display), but none to simply stand there as the 90yo man in the wheelchair gets rolled past…
And Harry Reid steadfastly refuses to even hold a vote on funding the government unless ObamaCare is included, while blaming the Republicans for blowing up the planet…
I’m rather glad the orchestrators of this sham are so stupid that they are blindly overplaying their hand. I’m hoping Reid calls the vets “anarchists” and “terrorists.”

Reid’s more likely to say they’re suffering from PTSD, or liken their condition to his own, y’know, advanced degenerative senility.
He loves me! He really loves me!
Ima thinking every veteran alive should amble on down to DC. See what the response is from our elected leaders.
Don’tcha reckon they’d start looking for the new Douglas MacArthur RI?
At 7:33 pm, Levin just exploded on that thought, RI.
