From the Washington Examiner - "A planned immigration reform rally will take place on the National Mall on Tuesday even though the site is closed due to the government shutdown.
Organizers for the "Camino Americano: March for Immigration Reform" were spotted Monday setting up a stage and equipment on the National Mall for the rally which will take place on Tuesday."
There we go. Aging WWll vets who fought for this country are barred from the WWll Memorial. Immigrants who snuck into this country get to have a fiesta on the National Mall. Obama meant it about transforming this country.
This is why we need a shutdown and shutdown until this stops happening. Why don't we all go break into another country and see which one lets us demonstrate against them?
Any Senate member participating in this should be tried for treason.
Uh-huh. Read the article. It's short. Pelosi and Menendez are going to be there along with a couple unions. All the favored groups. You Democrats really don't get the optics of this, do you?
I'm quite sure a bunch of smiling, loving, hand holding conservatives could just as easily use the mall to protest something worthwhile like, gays perhaps.
It's a big, big friggin park. It's not really shut down.
The entire government is "not really shut down". Merely the parts that Obama thinks will hurt those who do not worship the most.
As for what you are sure of, another fantasy from another liberal who refuses to look at reality and see what is being done to him.
urbanlife78 thinks this is the GOP's fault also......can run drugs & guns if border is closed!
He's hardly alone.
Apparently, Obama can single-handedly catch terrorists, stop wars, and pump up the stock market -- yet he has absolutely no control over his own government's partial shutdown, and what specifically closes or says open.

Makes total sense, right?
Yep, that is the one thing that is completely the responsibility of Congress, to budget money and those morons can't even do thst correctly.
You know the National Mall is a big grassy field right? You can walk on it even during the shutdown.

For the longest time, I thought you two were just idiotically blind. I no longer think that. NO ONE is that stupid.
You two are purposefully NOT "seeing". Oh, you see quite well, you know damn good and well how hypocritical your party and your chosen one truly are, but you come on to forums and pretend that you see none. You are being completely and totally dishonest.
You two are the poster children for everything that is wrong with the Democratic party. The "compassion" of the liberals extends as far as those they can exploit. There is no compassion for anyone else, not even those who served, fought, were injured, or died saving your sorry butts from losing your freedoms.
Remember, once you tear down your "opposition", you'll have nothing left to do but start fighting amongst yourselves. In-fighting is even more vicious and it will be too late for you to come crawling out begging for help. In other words, you reap what you sow, your little party, and the hypocrites, liars, thieves, and power hungry *******s, will eventually turn on you. Support every little thing they do now, pretend not to see, laugh it up...I cannot wait until it bites you in the ass.

We do not need the government's permission to protest. This is the big picture problem. This is what those like Obama are shooting for. They want people to believe that they can not protest without the permission of the government. They want people to think that they can not use their own property without the permission of the government.
I am going to participate in a protest here in a few hours. (nothing to do with the Federal government) and I didn't ask permission.
Now are those like Pelosi that supports keeping veterans from seeing the memorial dedicated to them from seeing it but attending this rally hypocrites of the highest order? Yes, which is why it's foolish to think that you have to ask people like this permission for anything.
Look at all the unions supporting importing lower-cost workers to replace more costly Americans in U.S. jobs:
