More posts on the March on Washington

NBC Washington: Rally at World War II Memorial Ends at White House  Naturally, being NBC, there is little mention of the blame these people have given to Barack Obama for this shutdown.  But know this: Turns out, the orders to close off the memorials and to deny death benefits to the families of the Fallen came directly from...the budget office of the White House.
 
Park Service: Administration- NOT House Republicans- ordered WWII memorial closed  ..."A spokesperson from the National Park Service confirmed Wednesday morning that Washington D.C.’s World War II Memorial was ordered closed by the White House Office of Management and Budget."....

Get that Confederate flag out of there!  The guy carrying it is either an idiot or an Obama supporter trying to discredit the entire protest. You can be sure MSNBC and the rest of the ObaPress will show film of this jerk. 

Veterans Remove Barricades from Memorials and Bring Them to WH

Big Government   "On Sunday, protesting the barricades placed at memorials around Washington D.C. by the vindictive Obama administration, veterans removed the barricades and proceeded to take them to the White House. Multiple people tweeted photos of the barricades being removed and taken for presidential inspection:"

That's exactly where the "barrycades" belong


Palin, Lee, Cruz Rally Veterans at WWII Memorial
"Though the Obama administration officials put up barricades at the open-air memorials, they allowed thousands of amnesty supporters to rally on the National Mall, which was also supposed to be closed due to the government shutdown, last week in support of comprehensive immigration reform."

Urban legend: Obama Tells Vets No Memorial, Opens Muslim Museum

MORE FAKE NEWS: Obama Uses Own Money to Open Muslim Museum

Urban legends  "Direct quote from NationalReport.net:
Washington, DC -- While up to 800,000 federal workers faced life without a paycheck as Day Two of the government shutdown kicked in, President Barack Obama held a press conference to announce that he is using his own money to open the federally funded International Museum of Muslim Cultures.
"Before anyone's blood pressure rises, please note that no such press conference actually took place. The story is a spoof.

"For some reason people persist in thinking that NationalReport.net publishes actual news. It doesn't. It's a satirical site, somewhat like The Onion but a lot more political and a lot less funny."

...."It's still a relatively easy matter to demonstrate that the intent of the website is satirical, however. Just check some of the other articles written by the author of the above story, Paul Horner:

Progressives Want to Send Innocent People to Jail…to Set an Example?

Heritage  "Should society throw people into jail who admittedly did nothing blameworthy just to set an example for others? That is exactly what the Center for Progressive Reform has suggested doing in a recent report on the Occupational Safety and Health Act."....


...."Under this doctrine, a corporate officer is personally criminally liable for the actions of his or her employees, regardless of whether the corporate officer knew or should have known of the criminal conduct."....

..."The responsible corporate officer doctrine turns the job of a corporate officer into a gamble. Corporate officers have to bet their freedom that employees will perform their duties lawfully in an environment of thousands of regulations. A loss on that bet could land them in prison. There are ways to promote workplace safety without throwing blameless men and women in prison. Rather than expanding the use of the responsible corporate officer doctrine, justice requires that it should be done away with.."

Dear President Obama: Fire somebody and show that you are in charge

American Thinker  "By any executive 101 standard, President Obama is failing and failing big:
1) Hold your subordinates responsible; and,
2) Make adjustments.
"Speaking of accountability, let's start with Secretary Sebelius.  Why does this lady still have a job, especially after her hilarious appearance with John Stewart?
"Let's look at Secretary Sebelius's performance, as Tom Bevan posted:"

'It was one of the most degrading things I've ever done': Miley Cyrus' back-up dancer reveals she was left 'shaking and crying' after controversial VMA performance

Whether she was stripping to her underwear or twerking with giant teddy bears, Miley Cyrus left many in shock after her performance at the VMA's in August
UK Daily Mail   "Whether she was stripping to her underwear or twerking with giant teddy bears, Miley Cyrus left many in shock after her performance at the VMA's in August.
"But it seems no one was more shocked than one of her very own back-up dancers.
"Los Angeles-based performer Hollis Jane, who refers to herself as a little person, revealed on her blog: 'I was a bear in Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance and. . . for the first time I felt truly ashamed of being a little person."
 Miley Cyrus
'When I did the VMAs. . . we were being used simply
because we were little,' she said. 'It felt like society
still saw us as a joke, despite the fact there is 
nothing different about me other than the fact
 I am small'

From The Vault: No-Go-Tiations

Hope n' Change  "Here's the Hope n' Change cartoon and commentary exactly as it appeared on July 13, 2011 Sadly, the reference to Barry threatening to withhold Social Security checks is as timely today as it was over two years ago..."
"There's a time-honored saying that "When the going gets tough, the tough threaten defenseless little old people." Mind you, it's only a time-honored saying in the Democratic party, but it's still as true - and despicable - today as it ever was.

"In his effort to blackmail Republicans into agreeing to potentially job-killing tax hikes on businesses and investors, Barack Obama has announced that he may
choose to not send out Social Security checks to senior citizens on August 3rd, sneering "there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.' "

Millions of elderly people like this are afraid of losing their Social
Security checks and...no, wait. This is just Obama's taxpayer-supported

The way out; If only Obama will allow negotiations

Why is Obama so full of malice and intransigence with Republicans yet such a docile doormat for America's enemies?
Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel
Charles Krauthammer   "For all the hyped indignation over GOP “anarchism,” there has been remarkable media reticence about the president’s intransigence. He has refused to negotiate anything unless the Republicans fully fund the government and raise the debt ceiling — unconditionally.
For all his protestations about protecting the full faith and credit of the United States — jittery markets are showing that his brinkmanship could have precisely the opposite effect — the president’s real intent is to score a humiliating victory over the GOP."
Can the Republicans hold out with all this media pressure?
....
"Even worse for Democrats, their current partisan advantage is a wasting asset. The rule is simple: shutdown good, debt ceiling bad. Every day the debt ceiling approaches, President Obama’s leverage diminishes."

The Galen Institute   "A blockbuster report by the House Oversight Committee staff shows the threats Americans will face when an army of ObamaCare workers begins to fan the country to enroll people in the new health insurance exchanges.

32 Cats Who Are Way Too Curious For Their Own Good

Meaning of Words Have Changed Under the Obama Administration

Don’t Detroit America; We need to tell the story of Detroit — and of its opposite, Texas.

Michigan Central Station From Time
Detroit's main train station, opened in 1913, has not been used since 1988

 
NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE "People and businesses didn’t just move from Detroit, they fled. And what they were fleeing was liberalism, the accumulated detritus of 50 straight years of Democratic leadership. They kept fleeing until there was so little left for city leaders to tax — so little business left there from which to extract revenue — that Detroit was forced to declare bankruptcy.

"Detroit is the Left’s Ground Zero. And it was caused not by a terrorist strike or an invading army but by a combination of union greed, government incompetence, bad policies, broken promises, outright corruption, and a lot of bad faith."
Not a failure of capitalism, but a failure to practice capitalism.
