'Obama is behaving like a vicious tyrant'
Veterans first fought America’s wars, then they fought the National Park Service over White House-ordered closures of war memorials because of the partial shutdown of the federal government.
Now they’re developing a response to President Obama’s “war” against them: A rally.
The Million Vet March on the Memorials will be held Sunday, Oct. 13, at 9 a.m. Eastern at the World War II memorial on the National Mall, the location where rangers under orders from the White House tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent vets from visiting in recent days.
The announcement said the group Special Operations Speaks is organizing the rally because the Obama administration “is using the government shutdown as an excuse to keep our veterans from acknowledging the debt owed to them and their predecessors.”
“This is unforgivable. It is also unjustified, as no taxpayer funds are spent by keeping these shrines open. We will open them ourselves, if that’s what it takes,” said the group, founded by former Navy SEAL Larry Bailey.
“We know that there may be some degree of confrontation, given the anti-military attitude of the administration. It is our intention to avoid confrontation, and we request that you join us in avoiding any kind of physical contact with park rangers, police, or other law-enforcement personnel. Give them no excuse to hijack the moment.” the organization said.

Really??!! Maybe you can remember an election and a re-election. This is petulant childs play.
ReplyDeleteThis president wannabe is the best teacher of what not to vote for in the next election! That's all he's good for. Of course, Robomney would have ruled the same, and offered the Country no choice as well.
ReplyDeleteVote intelligent.
Vote Independent.

He won election based on lies and false promises. Personally, I believe he stole re-election with a computer program, but that's another subject.
Just because he, or anyone else is 'ELECTED" does not give him free reign to do whatever he wishes.
If you know any history, Adolph Hitler was also "elected", and with a WIDE margin. Does that make what he did okay? Consented to?
People lie, cheat, steal, and whatever it takes to get elected. They will say anything voters want to hear to win.
What they DO after they are elected is what counts. I, and MILLIONS of others do not like, do not condone and do not want what this "elected" person is doing.
That is why we have the RIGHT to assemble to air our grievances, protest illegal acts and laws, disobey such illegal and unjust wars AND have recall elections and impeachment proceedings.
A person elected is still accountable to the people who ALLOWED him to hold office, and DEMAND he uphold the oath of office, uphold our constitution, obey our laws and DO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
He has violated each of these and continues to violate them. The government is not totally shut down. 85% is still open.
The areas that are shutdown he is exploiting to try to make political points, and making it as painful as he can to ordinary citizens, veterans, current military, seniors, people with disabilities, and others.
To simply point to election results and try to say he is somehow justified in these things is just wrong and irresponsible.
But don't worry, I don't think he has de-funded obama phones yet.
One thing I do know, the re-opening of parks and monuments will not give me my V. A. disability check for the 1st of November. As a proud veterans, I don't give a damn if the parks and monuments are closed due to this shut down.
ReplyDelete2:41 maybe you are too brainwashed.or just.plain stupid. Nixon won his election and then was forced to resign because of Watergate scandal. Obama needs to be impeached and thrown out of office. Benghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS scandal and many many more hidden in his closet.
