, Rep. Steve King (R-IA), distracted park police giving the veterans the opportunity to break through the barricades. After traveling from Mississippi for what may be their last opportunity to view the memorial, these veterans were not going to be denied. Having fought against tyranny in the past, they were not going to allow tyranny to prevent them from paying homage at the memorial erected in their honor.

It`s only day 2 of the government shutdown and it`s getting ugly fast.
pelosi is calling for defunding veteran benefits until the shutdown is over and the president is calling for the arrest of 90 year old veterans who want to see the memorial that they donated money to build.

What a bunch of idiots. I'm sorry, but I have to call a spade a spade...soldiers aren't known for their intellect.
If this is what they want, Obama should give it to them. Pull all the Park Service employees from all the memorials and monuments...let the idiot mobs flock to them, let the garbage pile up, let the monuments go to crap without proper maintenance and care.
Then watch the idiots complain about Obama allowing it to happen. People are stupid, which is exactly why we need government because people need to be governed and told what to do.
