JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT COULDN'T GET ANY STUPIDER...
Government watchdog Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act request to get to the bottom of the National Park Service’s actions at the World War II Memorial in Washington this week. The NPS has barricaded the memorial and on Tuesday tried to prevent veterans from visiting the memorial, which has no amenities and is normally open to the public at all times....
The National Park service has closed facilities that are either unmanned or take no federal funding, and says that the Obama administration ordered the shutdown. Anna Eberly, managing director of the Claude Moore Colonial Farm in Virginia, told Tatler that the NPS is renting the barricades that it is using to enforce the closures, an increase in the service’s operating costs at a time that the government is partially shut down.
This will be the scandal that finally brings the Kenyan pretender down! We can call it... Ban-geezer!
I'm not sure letting them re-secede will be good enough. Someone tell them there's no Obamacare on the moon.
UPDATE. IQ points in freefall at Breitbart.com:
Even better, from Mike Flynn:
Fortunately, in this case, Rep. Steve King temporarily distracted the Park Police officers and the WWII veterans tore down the barricades. Once again, America's "greatest generation" has answered to call to lead.
Are they armed? Maybe they can roll on down the Mall and get the drop on some more big-gummint interference, like the Department of Veterans Affairs.
UPDATE 2. Reince Priebus or whatever his name is has a solution: Privatize it!
RNC Offers To Pay To Keep WWII Memorial Open
...“The Obama administration has decided they want to make the government shutdown as painful as possible, even taking the unnecessary step of keeping the Greatest Generation away from a monument built in their honor,” [Priebus] said standing a few feet away from the barricaded memorial entrance.
“That’s not right, and it’s not fair," he added. "So the RNC has put aside enough money to hire five security personnel to keep this memorial open to veterans and visitors. Ideally, I’d hope to hire furloughed employees for this job."
Priebus also put in a bid to have the Martin Luther King Memorial taken away and broken up for driveway gravel. Hey, as long as he can pay for it, right?
