President Barack Obama’s administration has ordered the United States Coast Guard to protect grain ships at the Port of Longview from violent “Occupy” protesters and dockworker union members, according to a local news report.

The Daily News in Longview, Wash., reported that the Coast Guard will protect a grain shipment from an onslaught of “Occupy” protesters and members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU). The ship will be transporting grain to Asia. A date for the shipment has not yet been set.

The group of leftwing activists had shut down ports all along the West Coast on Dec. 8, including the Port of Longview. The Coast Guard will apparently be helping the ship load its grain at the port, and then depart for Asia, safely.

The local unions and “Occupy” groups are planning to band together to protest the Coast Guard protections of the grain shipment when it happens.

The protesters better hope they don't hear these words:

"General quarters. General quarters. All hands man your battle stations."

i think the feds may use troops to break demonstrations. our government is far more concerned about citizen uprisings than it is about illegal immigration.

Distancing himself from his base?

I remember when the Coast Guard had to be called out to protect ships from the Tea Party......oh wait, never mind. That never happened either.

Or illegal small arms traffiking by Eric Holder's DOJ/BATFE. Or, the DEA laundering drug cartel money.
Or, former Goldmans Sachs executive/Former Dem. Governor & White House economic advisor Jon Corzine not knowing where over a Billion $ from MF Global clients' segregated account deposits disappeared.(Oh wait, Obama needed a billion from his campaign)
