Visiting veterans in wheelchairs storm closed war memorials

Visiting veterans storm closed war memorials - The Washington Post

The elderly veterans piled off the chartered buses in front of the World War II Memorial, some in wheelchairs, some using canes, all determined to pay homage to each other and their fallen comrades from more than half a century ago.

Metal barricades and signs announcing a closure due to the shutdown of the federal government awaited them.

----------------------------------

Just the beginning. Remember when Boehner said he got 98% of everything he wanted, but when the economy was downgraded, it was Obama's fault?

The GOP Teanut plan isn't to help the country, the plan is to bring it down.

Good for them!

It's high time this regime learns the monuments belong to the people not the fucking government. Spending money to errect barriers to block normal outside access is typical of the dear leader to try to make things worse than they really are. FUCK HIM!

Closing malls and monuments is just the powers that be playing, 'gotcha.' They have the guards to call police if someone is vandalizing. Things like tours, museums, sure, they need to be closed.

Absolutely disgusting what the far right are doing.

Yep, ain't it a bitch when people won't toe your dear leaders line. My only question is how we make this shutdown thing permanent? If we are paying hundreds of thousands of NONESSENTIAL people it's time to trim the fat. Of course the dear leader wouldn't hear of that either.

^^ too stupid to realize this isn't even the budget the GOP terrorists are forcing the government to shut down over.

Hey shit for brains, where did I say it was about the budget? I was wonder why we are paying up to 800,000 nonessential federal workers? Seems like a big waste.

Right wing trash like you would think lady liberty and war memorials are "a big waste"

It is about maobama and his unilateral changing of the law with no authority to do so yet he attempts to deny the house their rightful authority to make changes through the legislative process. I can only hope he catches a golf ball between the eyes straight off the head of an over-sized driver during his next trip to the course, might knock some sense into the arrogant bastard.

I would love to see what a wheelchair storming looks like.

My wife and I were attendants for WWII Vets 2 1/2 years ago on an Honor Flight. The Memorial has no attendants inside to lay off. Putting barricades up was a political ploy by the lying POS Obama! Kudos to the Vets!

NOTICE: All VETERANS and VETERAN SUPPORTERS are welcome to visit
FREEDMEN'S TOWN NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT
to protest the funding blocked that would have saved historic houses
for VETS under a sustainable business plan
to provide housing, jobs and home health on site!
Freedmen's Town Historic Churches and Vet Housing

This is Democratic Congresswoman SHEILA JACKSON LEE's district
which is a national historic landmark to Freed Slave churches, civil rights
and MILITARY HISTORY (with public housing built with war funding for Veterans but never used for them) - recognized statewide and nationally, but demolished under Democrat leadership. Instead of restoration, public funds were funneled to private developers and contractors to destroy the history (including desecrating gravesites to build a Federal Reserve bank) on land TAKEN AWAY from Black ownership by eminent domain.

Congresswoman Lee signed plans to renovate the public housing in this historic community
under federal legislation to REFORM WELFARE by creating a sustainable campus system with HEALTH CARE internships onsite. http://www.houstonprogressive.org/campus94.html

Instead this site was demolished so that contract money would go to fund bureuacracy
instead of following the campus plans for getting poor people OFF WELFARE.

After DEMOCRAT ADMINISTRATIONS destroyed this historic site and
gave taxmoney in the millions to developers to buy and flip property at taxpayer expense,

The community was denied funds to preserve the last 10 historic rowhouses
for VETERANS to have housing, jobs, health care on site and training to become
financially independent instead of poor disabled and elderly depending on welfare:
Freedmen's Town Historic Churches and Vet Housing

WHERE ARE THE PROTESTORS when it's the DEMOCRATS destroying
national history and cost-effective plans for VET HOUSING and home health care on site?

Why are DEMOCRATS raising "millions of dollars" to get re-elected,
* claiming to represent poor blacks and oppressed minorities
* while PAYING TAX MONEY to developers to demolish a national historic landmark of African American and Civil Rights history
* while claiming there are "NO FUNDS" for saving national history through
sustainable business plans for VET HOUSING AND HEALTH CARE

Oh yes.. by all means.. a museum or memorial being open at the expense of billions and trillions in bullshit federal spending on personal upkeep and responsibility.. by ALL MEANS, refund obamalama care because someone or a group of someones were turned away from a memorial or a gift shop

One thing the WWII vets know is SACRIFICE... something you fucking entitlement junkies have no experience with

Obama ordered the closure in an attempt to turn people against Republicans, and even rdean saw through it.

Will miracles never cease?

FYI, the memorial requires zero staff to keep open. In fact, the police actually had to do more work in an attempt to close it.

That makes you even dumber than Obama.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Absolutely disgusting what the far right are doing.

Refusing to bow to Obama should be a capital offense.

You should be involuntarily committed to a mental ward, since you are clearly HALLUCINATING.
