Can't
we just stop all this fighting? In the immortal words of Rodney King,
"Ca-ca-ca-can't we all this just along?"
The
Republican house of representatives has voted 4 times to fully fund the
government, everything except Obamacare. It's not the Republicans keeping
people out of the World War II
memorials. --------------------
Update: Check out the latest National Review editorial: "Vindictive Shutdown Theatre". This administration going so far as to block roads leading to Mt. Rushmore so you can't even view it. These types of shutdowns are labor-intensive and require more manpower, effort and dollars than keeping the monument or memorial open to the public.

As
Jonah Goldberg writes in the National Review, "Obama has always had a bit
of a vindictive streak when it comes to politics…President Obama and the
Democrats deserve the lion's share of blame for not only prolonging it (for the
government shutdown) but also making it as painful as possible…The National
Park Service which has somehow become the unofficial goon squad of American
liberalism, reversed course and let American World War II vets visit the WWII
memorial in Washington D.C."
It
actually costs the government MORE money to try to keep WWII vets out of an
open-air memorial than to just let it be. But this is how liberals typically
make their point--they want to inflict as much pain as possible on the American
people.
Between 2500 & 5000 American soldiers were killed during the D-Day Invasion. There is still no exact count of how many GI's lost their lives during the initial invasion. |
Maybe
you saw the news story of American tourists who had traveled to Omaha Beach in
Normandy, France to pay their respects to friends and loved ones who are among
the 9,387 military dead at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Here's
what is despicable about
all this: We can find the money to send workers to
these memorials to keep people out, even under threat of arrest, but we can't
come up with the dough to keep these most hallowed memorials open. And these
are OPEN-AIR memorials which require little or no upkeep. What kind of
supervision do you need over the visitors who want to visit the memorial graves
at Normandy? Normandy American Cemetery, shut down by Obama administration |
But
this is typical of this White House which loves to inflict pain on the American
people. Remember, this is the same White House which still finds the money for
travel, vacations, and White House concerts but trying to make a statement
about the seriousness of the sequester, they closed down White House tours.
The
President and the Democrats are blaming the Republicans for holding America
hostage. But it's really the President who refuses to negotiate with the
Republicans, who is truly enjoying this government shutdown. This is having
zero effect on his golf game. But to the dismay of those tourists who have
planned for months to visit the memorials of loved ones who gave their lives in
the fight for our freedom and liberty, this is no game, it's another example of
a President who takes delight in bringing pain and disappointment to the
American people, even on foreign soil.
