Vets storm WW2 memorial and take barricades to House of Reps

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

...oh wait - they actually took them to the WH. Something must be wrong here because we're told by the MSM that everyone is blaming the Republicans for all this. Why would they take the barricades to the WH? Obama has nothing to do with this shut down right?

yep. The vets are awesome! And as they're tearing down the Barrycades, the truckers are shutting down 17th an constitution. Obama the tyrant has awakened a sleeping giant. He's a cruel and heartless human being, just like Pelosi, Reid, and all the other scumbag democrats using our vets as props, taking life saving medicines from children with cancer, closing the places we mourn the dead, closing the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial, the ocean, the beaches, piers, even scenic overlooks. And all so they can tax the daylights out of the people they claim they're helping. They've shown everyone that they're just evil people who really don't give a crap about anything other getting lobbyist money.

Yup and it was turrible!:
It was just after dark when the truck started down
The hill that leads into Washington DC.
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

He was a young driver,
just out on his second job.
And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits
For everyone in that coal-scarred city,
Where children play without despair
In backyard slag piles, and folks manage to eat each day
About thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes, just about thirty thousand pounds.

He passed a sign that he should have seen,
saying, "Shift to low gear or fifty dollar fine, my friend."
He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman
Who was waiting at the journey's end.
He started down the two-mile drop,
The curving road that wound from the top of the hill.
He was pushing on through the shortening miles that ran down to the depot.
Just a few more miles to go,
Then he'd go home and have her ease his long, cramped day away.
And the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes, the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

He was picking speed as the city spread its twinkling lights below him.
But he paid no heed as the shivering thoughts of the night's
Delights went through him.
His foot nursed the brakes to slow him down,
But the pedal floored easy without a sound.
He said, "Christ!"
It was funny how he had named the only man who could save him now.
He was trapped inside a dead-end hellslide,
Riding on his fear-hunched back
With every one of those yellow-green,
I'm telling you, thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes, there were thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

He barely made the sweeping curve that led into the steepest grade.
And he missed the thankful passing bus at ninety miles an hour.
And he said, "God, make it a dream!"
As he rode his last ride down.
And he said, "God, make it a dream!"
As he rode his last ride down.
And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars,
Clipped off thirteen telephone poles,
Hit two houses, bruised eight trees,
And Blue-Crossed seven people.
It was then he lost his head,
Not to mention an arm or two before he stopped.
And he smeared for four hundred yards
Along the hill that leads into Washington, DC.
All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

You see the man who told me about it on the bus,
As it went up the hill out of Washington, DC.
He shrugged his shoulders, he shook his head,
And he said (and this is exactly what he said),
"Boy, that sure must've been something.
Just imagine thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes, there were thirty thousand pounds of mashed bananas.
Of bananas. Just bananas. Thirty thousand pounds.
of Bananas. Not no driver now, Just bananas!"

It happened. It was hundreds and not thousands. But all it takes is 10s to mess up DC traffic, just like a lite rain does.
