Anonymous Coward User ID: 16213727 United States 10/02/2013 02:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They are actually spending more money shutting them down than they do for daily operations. So it is not a "lack of funds" issue. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47604828 Someone threw green paint onto an unguarded Lincoln Memorial recently so it is not an issue of guards not being present. Closing these is pretty much obviously just a political closure. So if a bunch of people showed up at the Lincoln Memorial and passed the barricades and were arrested. I would think they would have a good case that they were arrested only for political reasons. When I read about that my first thought was, with all the big brother cameras around - didn't they have cameras there and find out who the culprits are, oh, nevermind it was probably Obammie trying out his ghetto tagging. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 47770091 United States 10/02/2013 02:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm a Canadian visiting your country and heading home ASAP! I've met so many wonderful people here and yet I feel so sad for all of you. Last night. I was with a group of Americans who started discussing the situation in your country. Some seemed oblivious to anything (they were well-heeled) but then one man spoke out much to everyone's surprise. He suggested that was was needed was a revolution to take their country back. You could have heard a pin drop.. The silence seemed endless and he began to look nervous but I greatly admired his courage. Then ALL the others started talking at once in hushed tones that it must come to that. America please ROAR! Take back your freedom and your country! If frail 90 year old veterans can take a stand why can't you? Life without freedom isno life at all and you are headed towards being a third world nation. I have passed so many homes for sale I want to cry for all the owners! I see so many businesses for sale When you get right down to it the situation is the same as for the veterans. The land still belongs to the people. Factories are closed - reopen them! Farms have been taken overby big business - kick them off and re grow your food and your cotton. The only thing essential is to get over your need for oil refuse to be treated like cattle at your airports (your Muslims baggage handlers and maintenance workers are not) quit giving up your rights to assemble or speak out, but most of all defend those rights for your fellow country men! There are a thousand ways to stand - choose one and do it! To the you her person who wants to lame the elderly for taking your jobs, please rethink that! Your government sets you against each other. Divided you fall and are controlled. I sincerely doubt that that elderly person is working for the fun of it. Many of us just need to stay alive because we are now raising our grandchildren because their parents have been too selfish to be good parents. I so pray that Americans become Americans once again! |

Quoting: ScarlettOHell Karma will take care of anyone who does such a thing. They are 90. Just a liability to the new health system. Dinosaurs that should be extinct in order to destroy the old system in exchange for the new. OMG! :721 blinding: actually he is half right. The old timers are occupying jobs and basically holding positions hostage that the young in their 20's desperately need to survive, but the old generation hypocritically calling them lazy while know why they (the young generation) cannot get jobs. so are multiple 90 yr olds threatening your job??? Maybe a skill would be an appropriate thing to work on vs whining like a sissy girlman |

Pretty sure old people need to eat, too. never say they shouldn't. I said they are occupying positions thus taking the food from the young folks mouth and plate so to speak when they call the young "Lazy". the trouble is there are too many old folk and far too many young people and the young people are starting to take hold and become the soon to be majority (when the boomers die off) Its a catch 22, but remember you are aging just as fast, soon enough we will all be in a huge predicament, no savings, 401k, retirement, aged, nonfunctional, frail and sick, having to work until we die just to pay for our necessities. Not a chance. Ive saved my money, gold and supplies since i was 16 years of age. I wont be one of those foolish old people who spent it all (and yes the boomers are the biggest spenders the world has ever seen). As far as i am concerned leave my ass in a pine box when i get old and die. I wont be telling a young person "You're too lazy, back in my day we worked without shoes" when i know damn well i had good shoes and a good job. most old people are hypocritical idiots. |

Ms. Superduper User ID: 46155084 United States 10/02/2013 02:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So...for a place that has no cost (if only a trash man) now has a cost of renting barriers, placing barriers, paying mounted police (including feed for horses) to harass veterans whom the monument honors. In other words, during a financial shutdown, they are SPENDING MONEY to stop people from viewing a monument. All they had to do was hire one person to charge $2 a person to view the memorial with the excuse of the government shutdown. Veterans would get in for free. Then they would be making a PROFIT off a place that normally has no cost or profit. This is just vindictive behavior. He's the gobment. They have no math skills. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. Whatever feels good to your soul, do that. |

They can still view the memorial , but can't go past the barricades (this is for their own safety). Biggest fucking shill of the day award goes to YOU! What a load of crap. You go obey the law. Have fun eating your GMO's in a FEMA camp as they give you poisonous vaccines. For their own safety my ass! What is the memorial going to attack them? They are our memorials, our parks! They should be free and open ALWAYS! Now is the time for everyone to ask if they choose freedom or enslavement. We already know what your choice is...and mine should be crystal fucking clear! Those machines are not as dependable as claimed and with the coming grid down "exercise" and likely EMP know your IT world is not that strong.

And just like Hitler,Obama is taking the my way or the highway stance. And just like hitler this dictator in chief needs to be called out and brought down before this once free nation falls by the wayside. Freedom isn't govt. control over every aspect of our lives! |
Ms. Superduper User ID: 46155084 United States 10/02/2013 02:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the only reason they got in yesterday was the guards refused to arrest them, when the military starts refusing orders to arrest citizens because the orders are unjust then the govt no longer has any power over the people, its what happened in soviet union when it fell, and now it must happen here.

This is just a bunch of bull and a game to them so they shut stuff down that had no need to be shut down... I went to heliviewer and its shut down..why...its not like its not like the website is manned..it may be monitored for maint. here and there but not manned. They are just shutting shit down because they can, it doen't even have to do with the budget, it has to do with the fact that they are throwing a fit...they want shit their way and they intend to get it their way! |

If they arrest these vets, watch the hammer come down because many will be extremely pissed! But Obama is too dumb to realize that HE WORKS for the people...at lrast that's the way its supposed to be!! But this joke of a POTUS has said "NO NEGOTIATING" ...period! With congress only having a 10% approval rating, one would think they would get off their dead asses and do something about this tyrannical dictator! What a mess of pathetic people!!
