And, please note the parallel with today's "Occupy" movement, against the crimes of Wall Street and the stupid "War on Terror" which was based on lies and has no legitimacy, whatever. The USA (and particularly as a republic) is rapidly going down the toilet, like a train speeding toward oblivion.

How about the Democrats, "Party of No Brains" in history the Democrats have unleashed the most abhorrent policies such as the KKK, deficit spending, student busing during the segregation period of LBJ's "Great Society" which spawned untold billions in welfare, food stamps, and other social engineering programs that have continued to push our deficit into the tipping point of no return. Obama has spent more in 3 years of his term than all spending before him, and still we have not remedied any of the social or financial problems that exist. Under Democrat tax increases, federal subsidy increases to buy more votes, and hard working Americans are forced to pay for illegal aliens benefits and dependents on welfare. Wake up!

In June the House of Representatives narrowly passed the Patman bill, but the Senate defeated the measure with a lopsided vote of 62 to 18. Congress was scheduled to adjourn in mid-July, and about one-quarter of the veterans accepted the government's offer of free transportation home. Hoover had apparently won. Perhaps now he could concentrate on an economic recovery plan and the upcoming reelection campaign. But many of the marchers felt betrayed and disillusioned. With nowhere else to go, they decided to stay. Ominously, their disappointment festered in Washington's muggy summer heat. To complicate matters, at this point the American Communist Party saw an opportunity to cause trouble, and sent forth John Pace as the catalyst with instructions to incite riot. The degree of his success is uncertain and will be forever a matter of debate, but his presence alarmed the Washington power structure. Historian Kenneth S. Davis theorizes that Pace may have had a hand in escalating the tensions, goading the angry veterans to become more aggressive. A more plausible explanation for rising tension may simply be that frustrations finally reached a boiling point. In any case, Secretary of War Patrick Hurley had had enough. On July 28 he ordered Glassford to immediately evacuate the occupied buildings, which were scheduled for demolition to make way for new government offices. The veterans stubbornly refused to budge. For whatever reason, Glassford and his police officers became the target of bricks and stones, and one officer suffered a fractured skull. As the melee got out of hand, an angry veteran, apparently feeling that Glassford had betrayed the Bonus Marchers, tore off the chief's gold police badge. Fearing for their safety, police opened fire, killing one veteran and mortally wounding another.
