http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...d-Veterans-Were-Coming-to-Visit-WWII-Monument Newly released public records show that the Department of the Interior knew in advance that two groups of aging veterans would be visiting the World War II Memorial on October 1, 2013, but they decided to barricade the premises anyway. According to emails obtained by National Review Online, the U.S. National Park Service employees were also constantly monitoring the news for any negative media attention. Moreover, the emails show that government shutdown exceptions were granted to National Park Service employees. The Obama administration tried to make political hay out of the government shutdown by closing the National Mall and denying access to monuments, but the decision backfired when the veterans defied the signs and fences and entered the WWII Memorial. The vets were taking part in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Honor Flight, established in 2011 to help fly the state's WWII veterans to Washington, D.C. and to provide tours to monuments dedicated in their honor. Obama told the American people that it was necessary to shut down the Mall and blamed Republicans for creating the hardships. However, the emails reveal that the Department of the Interior and National Park Service did not have to shut down the monuments but did so to make a point. On September 30, Tom Buttry, a legislative correspondent in Senator Tom Harkinâs (D-Iowa) office, stated that it would actually be easier and less costly to keep the mall open than to shut it down: While I understand that these memorials have remained accessible to the public during past shutdowns (Iâd imagine with the mall being so open, it'd probably [be] more manpower intensive to try to completely close them), I wanted to do my due diligence and make 100 percent sure that people could visit the outdoor memorials on the National Mall in the event of a shutdown.
When I think about it, this tactic would make perfect sense for a dictator to pull off. If a dictator knows there will be no consequences, why not do it? My Grandfather was a WWII Army Veteran, and I've been doing some very serious history research recently. I'm being completely serious when I say this is the EXACT thing Hitler would have done. After that, he would have had his gestapo line these guys up, and grease gun them. Onazi is doing precisely that-without a gun- via his "obamacare." Think deeply about why this president (lower case), would want to put in such a draconian law dealing with HEALTH care... When you come to the same conclusion I have, your hair will stand up.
it was a coordinate effort between dems their cronies and the establishment republicans... to give the establishment a republicans a reason to sell out their base. Oh no... the effects of the shut down... oh no... we have to cave. I also note the country did fine after the sequester. We so do not need this big a govt... it has to hurt us on purpose to get the politicians t spend more. The real disgusting take away is that our politicians are so cynical they know our press will let them get away with hurting us on purpose. This alone should be impeachable for the entire leadership.
As you remember, slick willy was impeached for lying about a blow job. Look at what the average repub is allowing to go down now. UNREAL!:eek: Impeachment should have happened years ago with Onazi, and if I even started listing his impeachable offenses, I'd be typing all night. And then some!
