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

[idiom]

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

When Freedom comes to America it will come wrapped in imperialism and waving a truncheon.

I never get tired of seeing the word "barrycades"

Lol. Neither do I.

Why would the cops be taking the barriers away from the White House? Wouldn't that be giving the President extra protection from the anarchist mobs taking over DC?

Did it occur to you all that some of these veterans screwed up and voted for Obama? Why shouldn't they deserve to get what they voted for?

How come there is only one pic and mention of Mike Lee being present?

Is he not neocon enough for the press?

 

[Brian4Liberty]

And the moral of the story is that any US General that Obama finds who is willing to aggressively attack American Veterans will be nicely rewarded. Douglas MacArthur is the prime example.

 

[Occam's Banana]

I don't think the cops have the nuts to treat these vets like they did the O.W.S. protesters.

Or the way they treated Miriam Carey ...

Um, if everything anyone who ever voted for someone who wound up being anti-liberty were discounted and devalued, literally nothing would get done except some forum self-congratulating. There are people here who voted for all sorts of godawful things and people, and then realized they were snookered.

Ron should be there with a megaphone ranting liberty. The people would go wild.

Tar and feather.

I've got tears in my eyes and chills down my spine. Particularly when I saw a Vet placing his hand on the Vietnam war memorial. THIS is HISTORIC. I don't think we've had a moment this historic since the Boston Massacre. Seriously.

The Boston Massacre was the killing of five colonists by British regulars on March 5, 1770. It was the culmination of tensions in the American colonies that had been growing since Royal troops first appeared in Massachusetts in October 1768 to enforce the heavy tax burden imposed by the Townshend Acts.

That's some poor ass dress, cover, interval and distance.

A little disappointed that neither one was there.

 

[angelatc]

Let me know when they start using those barrycades as battering rams.

 

[phill4paul]

Agreed.

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.

Because, at this point, I'm happy to see anybody willing to take to the streets and tell the system to fuck off.

OWS or this, I'm happy to see both.

Tar and feather.

It's interesting to see tea partiers using the same rhetoric as OWS. Chanting "Shame on you!" etc.

That's way older than OWS, brother.

Yeah but tea party types (the law and order Republicans) tend to be more respectful (often worshipful) to the cops. I'm glad to see them resisting like that.
