Are people really falling for the 'WWII monument closing' bullshit?

Really?

With all the very real and very serious issues surrounding the teabagger shutdown and the looming teabagger default... Monuments being closed is what they are out the crying about?

Are you shitting me?

I'm not even sure what something so fucking stupid is supposed to be saying. There should be zero doubt left in anyone's mind... These people are batshit fucking insane.

Just the 50 or so people in DC today and 50 more lunatics on Twitter.

At this point, I'm only somewhat joking. People are done with their shit.

.... and put the "Support our Troops" bumper stickers on their cars......to prove their "patriotism".

Bitchin' about cancelled air shows and closed war memorials is NOT supporting our troops OR our country.

....when the republicans in the House refused to leave for summer recess so they could keep talking about off shore oil drilling? Remember they claimed their showboating was going to rally Americans and they were going to sweep the elections.

Lets see how well that worked out



Senate=Democrats +8

House=Democrats +21


This WWII monument thing is just another republican circle jerk that is pissing people off and the polls have specifically asked about that show that most Americans are quite annoyed by what they are doing.

Their entire strategy seems to be digging themselves deeper into a hole and that will somehow get them out of their mess.

You look at it, and you'd swear the Germans won the war.

It looks like it belongs in Berlin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_World_War_II_Memorial#Criticism_of_the_design_and_style

Talk about irony....


I think they need to stop cluttering up the mall with stuff. Not EVERYTHING needs to be clumped around the reflecting pool like Disneyland--leave some room for a place to rally.

Not only that, they forget that WW2 wasn't about building monuments to the dead, but saving the living!

They are nothing but spoilt brats, malicious, bored and looking for someone to kick around. They have no real issues, no real gripes, so they look to media to give them one.

People are being made homeless and helpless, committing suicide or thinking about doing so, and they spent time and money to support fucking poutrage orgies. Fuck every last one of them.




If that language is too salty for any genteel readers, just let me know and I'll edit it for you.

So, no.

I'm sure some people would like to flog that shit, but no one is buying it.
