Vets have broken down barricades at Lincoln Memorial and are carrying them to the White House

Okay I know this isn't the point, but I have to laugh. Are you LOOKING at those barricades? They have little scrolling detail on them and are two-tone? WTF? "We're going to keep the veterans from visiting... but... we'll do it in style.

These are official federal government barricades! Not just some cattle gates. What would some foreign visitor think if they weren't fancy?

Do I spy a Confederate flag? Oh, dear.

Racism, racism, racism! Who knew there were vets from the War of Northern Aggression still alive?

Seriously, if the man does cover this, NBC will see that and run with more Tea Party Obama racist hater stuff.

Now THIS is interesting.

This kind of situation can lead to the downfall of a tyrant. When one of the most respected classes of citizens - even among the government enforcers - engages in blatant civil disobedience that most of the public will cheer, one wrong move and things get really hot really fast.

Kinda looks like:

It has potential.

Obviously, I'm talking about this particular image:

Don't these two look kinda silly? What's the purpose of this event anyway?

Did Cruz borrow Perry's jacket? Semi-serious question.

I'm pretty sure he just get's it from the Republican props department.

Can't have a good empire without the imperialist symbolism and imagery.

My question is why are we supposed to be excited about this:

Maybe, I'm missing something, but to me it looks like just another Tea Party event, hardly a revolution. I can even see a TP Patriots logo in the lower-left corner.
