Fascinating. Isn't Wisconsin one of those "Blue States"? (Good on them!)

Sir, it is the most wham-boozling demographic you never wanna see. 2 major metro areas (with hands out, palms up) who could elect current POTUS x2. And the same state fills both pieces of the legislature and the governor's chair with conservatives. (Governor x2 also cause he got a bigger majority in the recall than he was elected by.) Toss out US Sen. Russ Feingold and elect TP-favorite Ron Johnson; then turn around & elect Tammy Baldwin to the Senate also. It's the dangdest thing.

But once you get out of downtown Milwaukee or the Centers of Academia & Hankie-Wringing in Madison, it's pretty much folks just want to be let alone.

The Ocean is CLOSED!
 

Good luck trying to enforce that stupid directive...

The last straw for me will be if the Feds try to close the Supper Clubs in Wisconsin :p . Go Badgers!

The VN memorial is closed
 

The VN memorial is closed.............

And the park police - just following orders - will push you out.

Starting to look like POT for a big lockdown.

I'm getting.....
 

I'm getting a big hoot out of Liberals reactions to all this.

(and in the spirit of being fair - the conservatives who've flipped)

When you had the OWS protesters the libs were totally against the "jackbooted thugs" moving in to clean them out.

Now with the government shutdown they are bending over backwards to blame the fencing in of the monuments on the Republicans and any move to get over the fence is a breach of law and order that needs to be dealt with.

Having a lib say "just following orders" cracks me up.

What I don't understand is that the public apears to be letting themselves be locked out of public lands. I can't do anything myself, but it seems like a great opportunity for The People to assert themselves. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a vet locked out of your own memorial...:mad: Oh wait, This is why DHS purchased the MRAP's!

I don't see this as a lib vs conservative thing, I see this as a whole gov't failiure. I hear the cry of vote them all out, yet another politcal critter, who passed muster through the establishment will take the vacancy. No win there.

I also see this as a reflection of the movement of media towards becoming confrontational; look at the MSM, sports shows, reality TV, etc. If it's emotionally charged, dramatic, shouted, or in your face, it won't catch the ratings.

More public disobedience

Iwo Jima Memorial Closed, Barricades Erected

"......UPDATE: I'm told, "The Syracuse Honor Flight just knocked down the barrier and a couple hundred of them are at the Memorial now."......."

Confrontation is coming.

Arresting a WWII vet would stir the wrath of the people.
A less sympathetic victim will be used as a test case.

Shutting down open air public venues sure seems petty to me. I'd like to see the emails of who is ordering this......

Eric Cartman.
"Respect my authoritah!"

Wonder what would happen if some veterans who already know what it means to really hold a line were to bivouac on one of these memorials.

It's all about following one of the prime directives, which is make it as painful or exasperating as possible.
