Something the left loves. Well it's happening at the WW2 memorial.. Vets are cutting the ties that hold the barricades together and throwing the barricades in a heap. And then, gasp, they're entering the memorial. I saw it on FNC. Go Vets.

Civil disobedience is awesome. Glad to see these vets engaging in it. This is our power against government force.
"Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."

I would say I agree with you but you're not talking to me.
Here's another act of civil disobedience...
The Second Battle of Yorktown: Defying the Park Service
A restaurant owner in the Colonial National Historical Park in Yorktown was told by the National Park Service to close his restaurant. The Park Service does not own it. It leased the building to the owner. It unilaterally broke its lease.
He closed it for a few days. Then he re-opened it.
The Park Service now has a huge public relations problem. It can choose to enforce its order. It can send in armed men to force the closing. Or it can just ignore this act of defiance.
The media have picked up the story as a human interest story. In this story, the Park Service is the villain — a bureaucratic agency trying to force the Republicans in the House to raise the debt ceiling. “Shut it down!” This mentality led to the closing of various Washington monuments. It has backfired on the senior-level bureaucrats who came up with this policy. First, a bunch of World War II vets removed the barriers, and walked into the monument area. Now a restaurant owner is doing the same thing.
What’s a bureaucrat to do?
It is significant that the restaurant owner is taking his stand in Yorktown. This makes the Park Service’s PR problem even worse. Yorktown is where George Washington, with help from the French fleet, defeated General Cornwallis in October 1781....
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
Where are our liberal cadre to decry this act of defiance towards their Messiah?
Democrats believe that "politics is war by other means." And they are at war with America, with common sense and even common decency. Those who would mount an effective opposition had better have a high tolerance for slime, slander and abuse.
