Hasn't Sarah Palin been in support of the shutdown? I just can't take it anymore.

the "liberally-biased media" that the anti-Bush protesters were mostly bused in by the "liberal elite". Asked how many of the protesters actually lived in Richfield.

Not mentioning, of course, that all the cheering throng there to fellate Bush were not from Richfield, either.

One could make the argument that these "WWII crowds" were bused in, and probably paid for their time, by the .1%ers ...

The bigger question here is, "How many times do you Conservatives have to be hit in the face before you learn to stop stepping on that same rake?"

I was just informed (by the office manager) how it's all Obama trying to hurt as many people as possible to make the Reds look bad. Followed by a series of other monuments he decided to pointlessly close. Oh, and he decided not to pay death benefits or fly families to greet the bodies coming in this week.
...how to respond to that. ??? blank stunned stare, followed by gradual redirection towards reality. best I could muster.
Oh! and it's only being covered by Fox, of course, as all media is Leftist and doesn't want it getting out.

Often they will then claim Iraq DID have WMDs and "What do you think they used on the Kurds?" thus forgetting thing's like "dates" and stuff.

Hell, I've run into people that say "Bush inherited 9/11" and claim I'm the idiot because I didn't know that.

Then they'll say, "That kind of political ignorance is DANGEROUS".

13. So...where are all the riot police?
Sun Oct 13, 2013, 08:23 PM

I think all these folks (including the celebrities and CONgressmen) should have been arrested. They should all get jobs and take a shower!





except for the part about "where are all the riot police?"

Seriously, if these people were protesting the XL Pipeline and moved those barricades, they'd all be in jail, and probably beaten up as well. In fact, it would be an interesting theory to test out.

How many of these "visitors" would normally be here or the other shut down sites/museums on a normal day. These are the same fools that dislike education in so many forms,want libraries shut down as too costly(rent from Redbox one them said) and have not even given a thought to all those families "shut down" with no money to pay rent or buy food. Totally out of their brain frame is the seniors/disabled that may be living on air and little else if they continue with this charade. All of them things are entitlements you know but museums are mandatory for survival and how dare park rangers obey orders and block such things. They are so twisted a tornado couldn't keep up!

The Republicans would have brought in SWAT teams or a whole squadron of Police to prevent a crowd from breaking and entering. But with Republicans... they can do what ever they want...because Republicans make and break their own rules...

You have to wonder, how many of these people would be there on a normal day, I doubt as many...

Kochs got a lot of money to incite riots, and Ted and Sarah have nothing to loose, since Fox News isn't calling either one into a career ladder.

When you make up shit along with that witless has-been from Alaska? You can see the drool pooling around their nuttery band of idiots.

I think they're trying to fire up the astro-turds the wrong way. Go take a shit on someone else's lawn, you riot inciter, you.

I think they should just let and leave it open. No maintenance, no support, no clean-up, given that there's no money to fund such things. Just let it open to the human elements. Once they see things marred by graffiti or vandalism, they will ask for support and maintenance, to which the government can calmly say, "The government is shut down. You can either come and go and will, or you can allow us to keep it closed."

I think the WWII vets deserve all the accolades they get, but they shouldn't be pawns to the tea bagging idiots destroying the country they fought to defend.
