(18,705 posts)Maybe they could bring a freedom ladder with them next time.
It will happen before it is over.
Just wait.
Cruz is getting his stupid follows ready to go over the cliff.

See the headlines now.
Teabagger jumps fence, breaks a leg.
Needs help paying his medical bill, no insurance.

(32,062 posts)Nope, that is one thing they cannot do. If they were capable of independent thought they would realize the masters they are serving don't give a shit about them.

(90 posts)It was veterans doing it. They are, according to reports, extremely pissed off
about War memorials being closed. I believe they tore down the barricades
around the Lincoln Memorial, too.

As a vet I am sad for my fellow vets doing this.

(2,679 posts)The Vet's anger is very misplaced. It is the republicans that they should be venting their anger toward, as it was those idiots that created all of this.
This was a teabagger terrorist led rally. They were just using the vets as a rouse. I know pretty shameful, but then again it is the baggers so what else would you expect at this point.

(46,416 posts)they can be teabaggers too. And if they had any brains, they'd be mad at Ted Cruz and Mike Lee for shutting down parks and monuments.

These people are seeing their country slip away and they can't take it. Good riddance racists, sexists, homophobes, and morons.

(9,314 posts)there would be swat teams everywhere. Interesting how differently protesters are treated depending on which side of things they represent.

(26,355 posts)If I were in charge, seeing the teabaggers protesting like that...
I'd send in the cops, arrest every single one of them for trespassing and damaging government property.
Then we'd tell them "Don't worry, you'll get a bail hearing shortly... Oh, wait, because of the government shutdown, the courts are shut down! But jails aren't shut down because they're an essential government function! Guess you'll all have to wait until after the shutdown's over before you get a bail hearing!"
But instead, the teabaggers get treated with kid gloves, while Occupiers get SWAT teams!

An amazing double standard.

(18,672 posts)Let's face it. A lot of our police force sways Republican. Liberals just aren't into the swinging night stick, gun carrying power trips that conservatives are into. I'm not surprised at all by this. Just sort of sad that the people we entrust to uphold the law are overwhelmingly conservative thugs with small dicks who are into power trips.

(12,608 posts)When Bush was Prez they sat quiet when he fucked up the country. Now were supposed to believe they are so outraged. GTFO! Outraged at what?! The Govt being shutdown? Isnt this what they want? Less govt? Stop being an ass and just wear your white robes already
MuseRider
(34,109 posts)but I would sure as hell send Cruz and Palin the bill to hire someone to take them back and replace anything that is broken. These people would probably not have disrespected the government property until they were egged on by Stupid and Stinky.
