Those who served, died or survived WW2 did not value appearance over substance. They served under the American flag, not the Confederate flag. They did not die for a memorial, but a country based on what FDR and millions of Americans believed in.

That memorial is not their legacy. This country is their legacy. These folks are filled with Paulite, Bircher, Libertarian, White Supremacist, Teahadist and every form of deceit, do not speak for our nation or that generation. They are spitting on it all.

Take a close look at them. I have warned people who think these little fascists are dying out, or that it is an older generation thing. Look at the ages there and their relative prosperity in comparison to those hurt by this shutdown and the default.

I don't think this is at all amusing or comforting. They each represent a hundred or thousand who are voting for destruction and anarchy. And they'd love to kill many of us.
