Obama Adminstration Specifically Denied Exception to Permit Veterans to Attend WWII Memorial
Before we go any further, let us note once again how contrived it is to shut down entryways to a wide open space out in the middle of a park.
This is not a building, like a museum, that has doors and staffers and guides. This is fucking scenery. And yet the erected artificial barriers to block people from walking through outdoor scenery. Voila! Now we can pretend a memorial standing unsupervised out in the open is a "National Park" or "Open Air Museum" and close it to pedestrian traffic (and people can in fact just walk through this thing in their normal transversing of the city). Now, that out of the way: They then took the next step. When they were informed that the Honor Flight was on the way, and that they should make one exception for the veterans of WWII and open up the artificial barriers they had erected to make a political point, they refused.Palazzo, a Gulf War Marine veteran who has participated in all five of the Honor Flights, blames the White House for making it harder on veterans and playing politics. “At first I thought it was a huge bureaucratic oversight,” Palazzo told The Daily Caller, “but having talked with the officials I can’t help but think this was politically motivated. Honor Flights, which bring WWII veterans to the nation’s memorials, are planned a year in advance and cost anywhere between $80,000 to $100,000. How low can you get with playing politics over our nation’s veterans?” In a statement, Palazzo noted that he is introducing legislation to ensure that all Honor Flights are granted access this week. “This is an open-air memorial that the public has 24/7 access to under normal circumstances — even when Park Service personnel aren’t present,” Palazzo said in the statement. “It actually requires more effort and expense to shut out these veterans from their Memorial than it would to simply let them through. My office has been in touch with NPS officials and the Administration to try to resolve this issue.”
There are no "schedule hours" for scenery. The monument does not close on weekends, or at night. Because it's scenery. It is a feature of the landscape. And yet these See You Next Tuesdays attempted to create a fake "entryway" into a landscape feature so they could block it off and say "the Building is closed." And then they doubled down. Note The Lack of Walls and Gates and Barriers: From @slublog, here's what we're talking about. Look at the gigantic "entrance" -- I don't know if you can call it an "entrance" when it's just a huge area of No Walls out in the middle of a grassy lawn. Think about all the work it took to turn an open air landscape feature into a blocked off Instant National Park Which Is Now Shut Down You Guys.

If the tweets bear out, the park service selectively 'protected' the WWII memorial while leaving the WWI memorial open.
They closed down the monuments where living soldiers visit.

How ashamed I am. These men, these giants who fought so valiantly to deny evil, gathered together to visit the memorial dedicated to them and their brothers who died. What did they see? Blockades. "Park closed". How shameful that in their lifetimes they've had to see us piss away what they fought for through our irresponsibility, recklessness and gluttony. How shameful that we have done to ourselves what the fascists, socialist and imperialists could not.
These brave few made one last stand. They refused to be cowed and defeated. The walked, limped and rolled right past the blockades and had their remembrance.
Godspeed men. Thank you. And I'm so very sorry.

It's the "bread and circuses" effect of modern consumer technology keeping this from happening. Not that it might not eventually happen, but back when the country was in the revolutionary period, there really wasn't much to distract you from reality, unlike now. So, political upheaval takes longer.
That said, Instapundit is definitely on to something when he talks about how corrosive the Left has been to belief in the fairness of the Federal bureaucracy. I think a certain number of people are walking around looking for an opportunity to start shooting people for political reasons, but want to do it when the risks are relatively low, like once low-level anarchy starts breaking out and the odds of getting away with it increase. No one with a strategy wants to just go out guns blazing, they want to pick their spots.

These men stormed onto Utah and Omaha Beach, the Siegried line, and too many cities and towns to list. They took Guadalcanal, New Guineau, Tarawa, Guam, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. They sunk the German U-boats, Japanese Fleets and Delivered Millions of Tons of supplies and men throughout the world. They swept the skies of Japanese and German air forces. They are in their 80's and 90's now, but
Does Obama think a concrete barrier will slow them down?

Weird. Almost seems to that logic, spending, and common sense don't apply here. Reminds me of how government spending magically remained unchanged and below debt ceiling levels for months, yet everyone kept cashing their government checks like normal.

But you NEVER heard one side talk about wanting to murder people on the other side. They just wanted their side to prevail because they felt they were right, and the other side was wrong.
But these people on the Left today, they have murder fantasies. They don't want to win, they want to destroy.

Well, this is laser-turf of the first order. When the monuments are shut down those idiots might stumble on a disgruntled boy scout on their way to getting a cappuccino or BJ in the bus station mens room, and find out that the boy scout, who saved up all year for the trip to DC, is unhappy and we must pass a budget now.
That is the only reason this strategy has ever worked. most people could give a fuck that dc shuts down. Look how they had to shut down web sites to get the message out to the people that are paying the bills. Like the fucking electrons on the hard drives are on furlough? idiots.

Furthermore, the arbitrary and capricious implementation of the government shutdown, specifically the White House denying the World War II veterans arriving via an Honor Flight to visit the memorial, is down right disgusting, what was the cost of erecting barriers to prevent these men from gaining access to an open air memorial?
I do not expect the courtesy of a reply, as I am nearly certain you will hide behind the limited operations due to the shutdown rather than engage your constituents in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

At the healthcare.gov site I picked up on an interesting phrase. From the site:
---------
'Starting 2014, most people must have health coverage or pay a fee (the "individual shared responsibility payment").

Now, two things here.
First, I thought Roberts declared it to be a 'tax', not a 'fee'?
Second, only Socialist bureaucrats could come up with the name "individual shared responsibility payment". How chillingly 1984-ish is that?

When the ability to take any action is granted to you by the State, it no longer seems absurd to require "permission" to walk up to a public monument.

Of coursehis "altitude" above the peasantry is one of those fever dreams that comes from ingesting too many drugs at an early age.

A federal civilian worker puts in 30 years of "service" and can retire before he's sixty - on 70% of his salary. The people who pay that salary will be lucky if they can retire by age 70.
I'm sorry if I offend anyone by stating this, but most of those federal workers aren't "middle class". They're beneficiaries of Democrat patronage. It's the real middle class - and their children - who will be stuck with the bill, who be forced to lower their standard of living, to subsidize these ticks.

The reason this state exists is because there is NO pain for the media for their antics.
The "polite" way to fix that is to declare war on Hollywood's tax exemptions.
I favor less polite ways involving destruction of property, and public humiliation.

Dead right. If George Bush had screwed with the veterans like this it would be all over the news tonight, and if the other roles were reversed it would be the horrible obstructionists Senate republicans denying funding and brave House democrats fulfilling their Constitutional oaths.

I am writing to urge you to help raise awareness of the downright despicable and shameful tactics being employed by the current administration. Rep Palazzo has been working to bring World War II veterans to visit the WWII Memorial in Washington DC. Knowing the veterans were scheduled to arrive today, he sought an exemption from the White House Liaison to allow the veterans to visit an open air memorial. The White House denied his request claiming that the shutdown prevented access.
I must ask how much was spent transforming an open air, extension of the landscape in to an inaccessible "museum" just to cause pain and suffering amongst the WWII Veterans and their families.
Thank God for men like Rep Steven Palazzo, who assisted these men in gaining access to the memorial despite the shameless tactics of an administration desperate to fix blame for the shutdown on others.
Please help spread the word about the despicable tactics being employed via the arbitrary and capricious shutting down of resources aimed at generating the most complaints among the citizens of the United States.
Regards,
Strategic Corporal USMC

Good luck with that. Take me to court bitchez. I welcome the chance to go to court and have some Federal prosecutor explain to a jury of my peers why I must pay a penalty for a service I choose not to consume. If I go to a doctor, I pay for it. If I don't have the money, I don't go and have no expectation of services. No different that if I am hungry and don't have food. I don't eat. Not pleasant, but true non-the-less. Allegedly, I still have that right. So why am I being forced to pay a fee to maintain that right? What's next an "individual shared responsibility payment" for not getting food stamps? I will pay taxes for road, military and other shared services that benefit everyone. I'll even let you slide with the car insurance argument, since you only compel me to insure my liability to others that I accept by operating a vehicle. You do not and cannot, however, compel me to insure my property by purchasing comprehensive insurance. I am free to accept that risk myself or get insurance for it if I chose to. Health insurance benefits me alone.
So come on Federal government. I will willingly go to court. If you convict me, bring guns and drag me off to prison. Guess what? In prison, I am exempt from your unconstitutional law. You are absolutely powerless to force me to pay your unconstitutional 'penalty'. Stop with the charade and show everyone who and what you really are.

Why the hell did it take so long to get a WW II memorial in the first place?
Yet look at this from the wiki--you know the damn "critics" were Liberals.
Critics were particularly bothered by the expedited approval process, which is normally lengthy.[17] The United States Congress, worried that World War II veterans were dying before an appropriate memorial could be built, passed legislation exempting the National World War II Memorial from further site and design review. Congress also dismissed pending legal challenges to the memorial.[18]
Criticism of the design and style[edit]
World War II Memorial
There were also aesthetic objections to the design. A critic from the Boston Herald described the monument as "vainglorious, demanding of attention and full of trite imagery."[19] The Philadelphia Inquirer argued that "this pompous style was also favored by Hitler and Mussolini"[20] (see Nazi architecture).

I posted it this morning and now the bolded part is GONE.
NOW it says NO Park Police were present.
*****
A shout went up. The barricades had been moved — it was unclear by whom.
Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said he believed the Park Service opened the gates. Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.) said the congressmen did it. Rep. Steven M. Palazzo (R-Miss.) said the barricades just seemed to part.
“I’m not going to enforce the ‘no stopping or standing’ sign for a group of 90 World War II veterans,” said a U.S. Park Police officer, who declined to give his name. “I’m a veteran myself.”

"I'm not gonna pretend I understand the whole thing, but I know enough to know it's not what we need."
"It goes back to all those people who thought Obama was going to fill their cars up with gas and pay their mortgages. Always looking for a hand out if they can get it."

I LOVE the fact of WWII vets taking their memorial back today. Love this so much as a Mississippian, that these gentlemen stormed the barriers. I only wish they had a flame thrower with them to melt the barriers. That would have been perfection.
Ace nails it: why is an open area now being blocked? Is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier also blocked?
I could see no difference in airports today with the shut down. In fact all my flights were miraculously on time with no mechanical delays. Maybe we should shut down more often? One bloated TSA agent in Salt Lake City was yammering about not being paid today, but no one gave him attention as we just wanted to catch our flight.

The J-31 "Falcon Hawk," likely designed by reverse-engineering a downed U.S. stealth fighter, was supposed “to become China’s next generation of carrier-based aircraft” and take its place next to the U.S.-made F-35 Lightning II as the gold standard in air force weaponry, according to a report last month in People’s Daily. But now it looks like China, which has exactly one aircraft carrier, has scaled back the hype and will peddle the aircraft to second-tier air forces like Brazil, Pakistan and some Middle East countries.
“It’s probably likely that the technology was not originally created for export but built for their own use and it did not work out too well,” Stephen Biddle, a political science professor at George Washington University and senior defense policy fellow at the Council for Foreign Relations told FoxNews.com.

I bet you the answer is ZERO. The system is probably totally broken and they're using the traffic excuse to cover themselves. The traffic excuse is bunk. If their system was properly designed it would scale by simply adding servers and/or bandwidth, whatever the bottleneck is. They've had how many years to plan for this? It's a database of providers and a signup form, not complicated. Anybody that has ever worked on a high traffic web-based system is laughing right now. I'm truly embarrassed for them.

I agree. I went to the employer part of the site and specified my state when they asked. After a series of pages I got directed to a table with the insurance options for every county in every state - in a table that refreshes every time you scroll down. Why ask me what state I am in and then show me all 34? BTW, the only coverage available to an employer in my state was an HMO I never heard of. I called the 2 largest health systems in our area and neither accepts that HMO. So, web fail and actual execution fail on the ground.

3) Think they can live with Socialism
4) Think they can't live with Socialism
5) Do not like Socialism
6) Hate Socialism
7) Barely know what planet they live on.
This battle over ObamaCare and other related things will put you in one of the above categories.
I wish people had the decency to be honest about it, but if that happened some of them couldn't get what they want.

"An employee of Minnesota’s Obamacare exchange, MNsure, sent an unencrypted file to the wrong person and left 2,400 people’s private information at the mercy of a nearby insurance agent.
One exchange staffer’s simple mistake gave insurance broker Jim Koester access to an Excel document of Social Security numbers, names, addresses and other personal data for whole a list of insurance agents. Luckily for the 2,400, Koester was cooperative — and unnerved."

I bet you the answer is ZERO. The system is probably totally broken and they're using the traffic excuse to cover themselves. The traffic excuse is bunk. If their system was properly designed it would scale by simply adding servers and/or bandwidth, whatever the bottleneck is. They've had how many years to plan for this? It's a database of providers and a signup form, not complicated. Anybody that has ever worked on a high traffic web-based system is laughing right now. I'm truly embarrassed for them.

Even if I did want to sign up - which I don't - there is no fucking way in hell, I'd do it the first month, let alone first day it's rolled out. First off, security is non-existent. You might as well just type up your DOB, SSN, Name and address, make 1000 copies and throw those copies out on the street. That's what you're doing by providing any of this information to Obamacare exchange websites.
Second, chances are if you do sign up, something will go wrong in the first few days/weeks. You think you have insurance. Then you go to the doctor and the doc says, uhm, I have no clue what this number you gave me is, it doesn't correspond to any insurance plan.

My thinking being--the trails are actually hard to close off completely on the Western side, and it is surrounded by suburbia (who, as I said, take the kids strolling, jog, etc.). So people are going to get on them. I'm curious as to what the Imperial troops then do.

@629 Cold Rage
Seems to me many of the truckers rolling into DC would be veterans. Time for some good old fashioned civil disobedience and some patriots need to take down the barrier to the WW2 memorial in it's entirety.
Have some of the vets/truckers film the boys taking down the fences etc and immediately post video on youtube. Bet it goes viral and makes some elected democrats (in red states) see the light on the Obama administration pulling this bullshit against vets....plus, it's the right thing to do... reopen the memorials for the men and women who risked everything for this country!

Same boat as me. I had a kick ass plan. $450 a month with an HSA. Covered the basics, none of the bullshit like drug addiction or mental health. I paid out of pocket for everything, the insurance was there if I got hit by a bus and neded a month of hospital care.
That policy is gone.
Cheapest option I have now is close to $900 a month. It covers everything under the sun...drug addiction, abortion, mental health, obesity treatments, you name it it covers it. Oh and did I mention the $5K per person or $12K family deductible?
Well fuck that. I'm not buying anything. I'll pay the fine and call it a day. If I get sick, I can always sign up later. If I don't get sick, I'll pay out of pocket for minor things and come out well ahead.

I'm thinking very similar thoughts, Mr. Moo Moo. How hard could it really be to get a new (or used) SSN and call myself Consuelo Tardez? Then it would all be totally free. And, no requirement to buy into this shitfest, as illegals are specifically exempted. Much like Congress . . . dammit, it's a wonder I am not already out there shooting people.

obama wanted the military to pay for their own medical insurance, and he sides with the Muslims all of the time. He has Muslims, socialists, and union members in his administration.
I have often thought that it must be very hard for obama to award medals to people he sees as his enemies. It would be like George Bush having to award a medal to a terrorist.
