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

[Cleaner44]

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

Especially since he is not a sitting politician, it would have more credibility.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

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.

Interesting that brutally murdered and assaulted mundanes don't rile folks up, but closing a few memorials is the end of the world. But like you say, whatever it takes to get Boobus motivated.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

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.

I agree.

 

[FrankRep]

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

WWII and Military Veterans are well respected in society.
The OWS were spoiled kids with a fascination with Communism.

The Tea Party types tend to be Christian and only worship God.

Damn straight. Their the only ones that shouldn't get a good beat down by the L.E.O.s. for breaking laws. Arghhh, 'Murica!

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

Especially since he is not a sitting politician, it would have more credibility.

Especially since he is a veteran himself.

Tell that to Jose Guerena's family and the rest of the veterans that have been abused/killed by society's hired hit-men.

The Tea Party types tend to be Christian and only worship God.

People that routinely recite the pledge of allegiance and feel the need to wear lapel pins or other patriotic gear are worshiping something besides god.

 

[phill4paul]

Especially since he is a veteran himself.

It would have been a great way to bridge the generational gap. With his military supporters contributions. Missed opportunity.

Yes, I am too. And it doesn't go unnoticed that this particular group of people (WWII vets) are untouchable by the cops with respect to the abuse they would dish out to any other protest group. The cops must feel almost castrated.

 

[Carlybee]

Rock on Vets!

 

[cajuncocoa]

I wonder why this story (along with, maybe the awesome pic of that woman vet that libertygrl posted in #92) isn't the headline on Drudge? They have links at the top left, but I think it should replace the story about Hank's movie!

 

[Icymudpuppy]

I never get tired of seeing the word "barrycades"

Most of the left doesn't acknowledge or even remember the Barry Soetoro references. We should call them Barackades.

 

[cajuncocoa]

Barackades....I like that!! +rep

I'm very active in my local tea party and have been for the past 3 years. Yeah, we say the Pledge at the beginning of our meetings. Big deal. To quote Mark Twain, "Loyalty to my county always. To My government when they deserve it." Last week we had Larry Pratt as our guest speaker. We've had Daniel Johnson, founder of P.A.N.D.A. (People against the National Authorization Defense Act) We've had Robby Wells, the 2012 candidate of the Constitution Party. We had Joshua Price an attorney of Constitutional Law talk to us on State nullification. We routinely invite our County Sherriff and County Commissioners. And guess what they show up, along with other state elected representatives. Congressman Tom Marino has been a guest several times. We drafted the following in Sept. and all the commissioners signed on.

So, what exactly are we "worshiping"? I quietly read all the tea party bashing comments here and now I say to you, What are you doing to change things at a local level? We're having our voices heard at a local level and our meetings are bringing in new people all the time. We are officially apolitical but most of us in the leadership positions are RP supporters. We toughed it out at the beginning and now we are in control.

 

[Joeschmo]

Once again, the greatest generation shows us how it's done. One more time before the clock runs out on em.

Not to take anything away from WW2 Veterans, but there weren't many there at all. It was mostly Vietnam vets, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

 

[Carson]

White House Barry'ed in barricades?

The flag is a symbol of the government, not the country. Pledging allegience is worshiping the State, as Bellamy intended it to be.

I disagree. I believe it's a symbol and a of our Nation and the People not the government. It's a pledge to our country not the government.

The American flag represents the dignity, unity, and strength of the Americans. Its colours are symbolic, as are its thirteen horizontal stripes standing for the 13 original colonies, and its 50 stars representing the 50 states of the union. The red in the flag represents Valour; blue, Perseverance and Justice; and white, Purity and Innocence.

 

[MelissaWV]

I disagree. I believe it's a symbol and a of our Nation and the People not the government. It's a pledge to our country not the government.

And to the Republic for which it stands. Yep.

Not the Republic that those abusing their powers would have it sadly become.
