The National Mall in Washington is closed due to the government shutdown. Monuments have been barricaded and are guarded by armed guards with attack dogs. WWII veterans who traveled to Washington as part of an Honor Flight program to view a WWII Memorial erected and maintained with private funds were threatened with arrest if they broke through the barricades. This was a previously planned trip, and after the shutdown, Rep. Steve Palazzo’s office contacted Obama with the request to go to the memorial, since the men were already en route. Obama said “no.” People simply trying to view these memorials and others, such as Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, have been instructed by police to move along. They aren’t even allowed to look at it! Yet today, one group has been allowed to occupy the National Mall. SEIU and Casa de Maryland were granted permission from the Obama administration to hold their “Camino Americano” —“American Road” —march on the National Mall. Not only are they holding this march in a space now closed to American citizens; some congressional Democrats will be in attendance. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is actually a featured speaker. Is this what it has come to in Obama’s America? WWII veterans, many in walkers and wheelchairs, who risked their lives in the fight for freedom are threatened with arrest while illegal immigrants and their supporters are given special consideration. If Americans are not outraged yet over this “Campaign of Pain” waged against them by a president, then there is a problem. We are witnessing and experiencing behavior by our president that is vindictive, hate-filled, and threatening. We are being shown the level of pain that he can and will inflict upon us if he does not get his way. Welcome to Obama’s America.
