    They also closed the open air C&O Canal.

    What the frig is happening to this country?
    Exactly what I said. A willful and blatant violation of federal law in order to further a partisan political agenda. The consequences? None at all... The rule of law is no longer in effect, so long as you're on the politically correct side.
    What if this whole crusade's a charade?
    And behind it all there's a price to be paid
    For the blood which we dine
    Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

    Yeah, you won't in any of them unless they are shoeing the bums away. I'm going into DC tomorrow for the Caps game, and I might stop by the different monuments after and see whats fenced off and what isn't.

    I fail to see where ANY PR person would tell Obama or the left that messing with the WWII vets is a great move.

    Who the hell thought this was a great idea?

    The optics on that one are really repulsive to most people I know.

    So long as the fetid media continue to carry Obama's water and blame the Republicans for this, it will be politically advantageous. At least with the uneducated idiots of the country that is.

    If any of the vets are there when you are, please shake their hands for both of us and thank them for their service.

    I work all the Oklahoma Honor Flights departing from and arriving at TUL. It's awesome to shake their hands as they leave and welcome them back upon their return.

    While watching the news yesterday I pondered this very thought. Aside from the lights being turned on at night and paying a guy to mow the grass once a week I fail to see what exactly all this cash is being spent on.
