Many of these "idiots" you claim them to be died for you to have a free country. You on the other hand contributed in a way, a NWO puppet like Obama take the white house. A white house that now resist these true war heroes entrance to something hey have travelled far to visit before they die.
You should be f..ing ashamed of yourself.
The Obama administration has said it will not negotiate over the debt ceiling, arguing Congress needs to act because the issue isn’t whether to approve new spending but whether the government should pay the bills it has already racked up.

Maybe you should have read a little further.

The Republicans are refusing to pay the bills this country has already racked up. Not surprising from a party that started two wars and an unpaid prescription program on a credit card.

no, not misleading...as usual per the right-wing media, it's a lie....I call it what it is...by the way, why isn't nothing said about Michele bachman having her picture taken, (while smiling like she just had sex with her husbands boyfriend), with the vets after she voted to shut down the memorial in that article???.... what a piece of crap she is.

I don't think our President has the life experience, literally, to even begin to fathom the level of offense, deep deep hard feelings and outright contempt he is creating for himself by these specific actions against THIS group of Americans.
johncarterI see the Rapid Response team of Obamabots invading my thread in usual order.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but oh well.
The parks are closed, people. Just because you had a career choice or service period in the military doesn't necessarily give you any special entitlements to park entry more so than anyone else when the doors are shuttered (so to speak) The country is in fiscal shambles. They were closed because of that. If a regular Joe or Josephine can't get in when a park is shut down, no one else deserves special treatment during that downtime. If the vets can get in when it's closed up, then rightfully, so should everyone else. Otherwise, it simply isn't fair to show preference, special treatment or entitlement like that. Everyone else has to deal with "Sorry, we're closed." I understand these are very old folks with not a lot of time left, but age doesn't justify defying the closures out of smugness.

I'll make a leap --- outright lie. Park Police are ordered to shutdown federal parks. People show up. Park Police attempt to do their jobs. No WH orders. If people REALLY believe that a politician would do something THAT stupid then they, too, should seriously consider becoming a politician. It's a crock. I'll place money on it.

Just in; Oh its happening. On a direct order from the White House, to arrest any trespassing WW2 Veterans, this happened;

Other sites reported many Obama national park thug troopers arriving to the monument to stop or even arrest those breaking through the barrier during the Gov shutdown.

WW2 vets will have their opportunity to see a memorial in there honor, that they donated too.
They have earned there RIGHT and nothing is going to keep them from going to see it.
WHEN SOME OF YOU NAY SAYERS ARE RUNNING UP A BEACH, BULLETS FLYING PAST YOU, YOUR ENTIRE SQUAD TURNED INTO GROUND MEAT, YOUR FRIENDS IN PIECES AND FIGHTING FOR YOUR VERY LIFE AGAINST AN ENEMY BENT ON DESTROYING YOU, YOU HAD BETTER BE DAMNED RIGHT I'LL STORM THAT BARRICADE.
Again, They have earned their right, I'm military, but I have not earned my keep, not in the sacrifice these veterans have made.
I support these veterans and their actions. If I was there, I would be more than happy to lead the march..one last time.

You mean the GOP in Congress? Without funding Government is legally required to shut-down monuments.
