World War 2 Memorial is actually open
And you can visit it. The honor flights can continue. All the outrage is just theatre...

The protestors, who are holding a march in favor of comprehensive immigration reform Tuesday, which is stalled in a stalemated Congress, are allowed to rally on the closed mall under their First Amendment rights, the National Park Service told CNN.

“Under the same First Amendment rights that are allowing Honor Flight veterans and their families to visit the veterans memorials on the National Mall, other groups will be granted access to the park for First amendement activities,” spokesman Michael Litterst said.

The National Park Service has furloughed more than 20,000 employees around the country, including about 300 employees who work on the mall. The agency, however, says the U.S. Park Police, which is responsible for policing the event, are not affected by the shutdown and are working "at full capacity...to protect life and property."

Why is a park ranger necessary for me to look at something?

From your link shaarona;


They said there is a double standard as veterans were locked out of the World War II Memorial last week after the government shutdown.

Apparently Selective reading is considered a virtue by some on this board.

BTW your link is talking about the National Mall not the WWII Memorial

Geebus !!

Because well ... going to the Memorial once a year is one thing, getting older healthy is more important. :rollseyes:

Maybe a park ranger should have been post before the shut down, seeing as how this act of vandalism took place before.

BTW cigar this thread is about the WWII Memorial,

try and keep up.

It is an unmanned site. And since 83 percent of the government is operating, why was this agency singled out for mass furloughs?

Don't be so naive. It was singled out because doing so would hurt the people the most.

It is pitiful when people attempt to defend the indefensible. Even if they're paid to do it, it's pitiful.

Great ad showing teabaggers irresponsibly happy about shutdown:

Shaarona, has the federal government also quit kidnapping elderly tourists? They're still mugging joggers in the parks.

I don't what is funnier. The video or that you think it means anything.

All that's missing from that propaganda is the mass rallies and the 'seig heils'
