Vets March Tear Down Barricades, Storm Memorials In D.c.

I am no memorial expert, but I am assuming the memorials are blocked off because they do not want anything to happen to them while they are not being managed and protected.

 

 

Maybe.  Hopefully KoC can fill us in once he's done with his cookout and video game playing.

You're responding to me to try to explain that you're too busy being cool and having fun to respond? You must be really social and outgoing. You're strained attempts to emphasize these points is not at all sad.

Yeah I think your request is just a stupid game of yours to be honest. But I'll play, when I feel like playing. An example of why I think that is that of course it would cost more to rent and/or pay officers to put up the barricades and to pay someone to watch and keep people off those properties in many cases. Than to not put them up. And if they are going to be watching the monuments and parks sometimes with more security than normal, why not open them up.

Other reason why l'll offer the links anyone can Google later is because I am on my phone and it does not handle copy paste well. So later when I'm at the computer I go to the trouble. Edited by KnightofChrist

We're cooking a nice rack of ribs, they smell very good, and "The Last of Us" reminds me more of a movie than a traditional game.

The ribs are almost done but here is one source that war memorials remained open as in the public wasn't blocked in '96 from War memorials. It seems that the Cilton Administration was more willing to compromise and allow Vets to run their own memorials. It's too bad the Obama Admin. will not accept volunteers to run the Vets' memorials. The WWII guys probably can't today but other Vets like Vietnam Vets or Gulf War 1 & 2, or any Vet. I have read many states volunteered to run some of the monuments and parks during the shutdown. The Obama Admin. rejected that but it seems their open to having the states pay the Feds to run them.

And it clearly the Obama Admin. plays favorites when it opens the National Mall to Immigration Activists, but keeps War Memorials closed even after WWII vets asked for their right to freely assemble on memorials made to honor them and their fallen buddies.

The memorials do not belong to veterans.  They're public memorials.  So, and I understand that this might get confusing, when the federal government shuts down, federal properties like the WWII memorials shut down.  That's what a federal shut down is.  You support the federal shut down.  So have the integrity to stand by the consequences of your political decisions.  

 

 

explain to me why if the government shuts down your paying police to erect barriers and stand guard over memorials?  that costs money.  they should not be doing this.  also explain to me what some of these memorials like the WWII memorial are missing out of because of the shut down.  its a memorial that is unmanned.  no one is normally there.  so Obama is paying someone to keep this shut down.  he's actually wasting money to erect barriers and have armed guards keep people out.  how much sense does that make?  government is shut down.  people are not getting paid.  best solution is to then waste money to pay people to erect barriers and have armed guards in place.  Obama is so stupid on this.

I provided a plausible answer a few posts ago.

There's no such thing as Federal "property" There's our property, managed by the Feds. They walked off the job. They're AWOL.

OBAMA IS A MARXIST FUNDAMENTALIST SOCIALIST MUSLIM.

 

As a real Marxist, I become insulted when conservatives identify the President with us. The President is a liberal, through and through. There is nothing Marxist about him. 

 

He's black too.

 

I loved it when Jon Stewart said that the President is an atheist-muslim.

which makes no sense since they are not manned when the government is running.  let's not man them when the government is running but when its shut down lets man them.

I would not say he is muslim.  I would say he is anti religious.

"Tourists were free to wander the halls of the Captiol, touch the walls of the Vietnam Memorial and climb the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to read the Gettysburg Address - those and other similar sites don't require supervision by federal employees." - The Item, December 17, 1995

 

This time is quite different. The Obama Admin. is playing games to make it hurt.

Messed up, and cannot edit, here is the link for the Item newspaper, should be right now.

 

And is the source that found those sources.
