oh noze- next, a Park Czar

[icwhatudo]

Translation:

“Don’t worry, we will force tax payers in other states to pay for those parks so your illegals can keep enjoying them”.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Let the Feds have them.

It's the last thing they actually want.

[Jewbacca]

Let them. It’s an empty threat.

[jeffc]

This kind of brings up a question I have: How does the federal government own land? Unless the fed pays a state for real property, or it’s not owned privately, all land should belong to the state in which it is inside the borders of. You know - states right, that kind of thing.

[ridesthemiles]

Can you identify the parks involved?

[wac3rd]

Lower taxes, deport illegals, end unions and cut 50% of the bureaucrats.

There, fixed the State.

[CodeToad]

I always thought the US Constitution forbid the feds from owning State lands.

[Redcloak]

Good... Let Ice Cream take care of them. We have enough to pay for already.

[fightinJAG]

Now that makes a lot of sense. Not.

[Carry_Okie]

Wildlands Project in action.

This is what the Global Agenda 21 really looks like.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I don’t go to any of those parks so I don’t care. ;)

[rhombus]

Revert to the feds? California would be better off selling them off... maybe they could use them for nuclear power plants. Bwahahahaha!

[patriot preacher]

Ain’t that all a part of the PLAN?!

[wolfcreek]

Hey, if they're divvying up parts of California, I'll take Yosemite.

[DoughtyOne]

Somehow I doubt the budget of the 220 state parks was doubled over the last ten years.  So my question is, why are they designated to take the brunt of the budget shortfall?

Shouldn't the cuts now be limited to the agencies that saw their budgets skyrocket in fact double or more over the last ten years?

I guess that's just too logical for big government.


The following is directed to all Freepers in general.



Some Freepers see everything through a red, white, and blue filter.  Lets prove right now how many of us do.  1% of the Freepathon total has been reached.

Do the deed.  Click those smiling faces right now.  Spread the word...

[mojitojoe]

Parks next, then harbors, ports and coastlines. It’s clear what they want to do. We own the bottom of the ocean 8 feet out from where the water begins. That was owned by the state, deeded over back in the 50’s. When we purchased the home is is now ours. Obviously we paid more than some due to that. Granted, we don’t own the water, but nobody can anchor or touch the bottom which means they can’t bottom fish, take lobster, spear, etc. They can’t even stand on the bottom. It is private property. Hell will freeze over before those scumbags try to take it without paying dearly, as I did, for it.

[a fool in paradise]

Now the feds are going to Nationalize the states.

[St. Louis Conservative]

What about privatization?

[April Lexington]

Maybe the Federal government should take California back and reallocate it as 5 separate states (to conservative majorities)...

[April Lexington]

Another creative idea.... let the Feds have LA and San Fran. Turn them into liberal sh*thole districts like DC and then turn the rest over to local citizens who have high enough IQs to elect conservative governments...

[Chewbacca]

Shut down the parks so drug dealers can grow pot on them.

It will be easier to grow and buy/sell a blunt if no Park Rangers or Feds are hanging around.

[americanophile]

I think there would be real outrage on this thread if it were a state other than California. Imagine if the Federal Government was going to ‘take’ your state parks.

[truthkeeper]

Good. Looks like the illegals will have to have their BBQ’s elsewhere.

[teeman8r]

why are parks closing.... just because there is no money to “man” the parks with rangers... they should remain open to the people who “own” them.

idiots all.

[Redbob]

The federal government “threatens” to take over the administration and upkeep of 6 California state parks:
How is that a threat, exactly???

OOOh, to the REST of us!
I get it now!

[alarm rider]

I detest the Park Service.

[sionnsar]

Oh how nice. Headed to a group campout at a CA state park next week, but there's no list.

Note to organizers: Sure your campout has mostly Californians coming, but future campouts need to be in federal or Oregonian parks.

[dragnet2]

Close them down, then sell them to the highest bidder...

Get the state out of the "park" game.

The more shame and dishonor thrown on these corrupt government politicians and government employees, the better.

[DilJective]

I would rather have the Feds sieze the parks than private property. Unfortunately, both actions don’t seem to be constitutional.

[Eric Blair 2084]

California parks and Texas belong to us Mexicans. Just because you kicked our ass at San Jacinto doesn't mean we won't bide our time and kick your ass in the rematch while you weren't paying attention decades later.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Well, the parks are about the only thing the FedGov hasn't screwed up yet, so what the heck. Might as well put the squirrels on welfare too.

[Polarik]

It’s called “Eminient f***ing Domain”

[Munz]

as long as Pelosi can send her billions of pork back to her district to keep getting elected it’s all good.

[SkyPilot]

How about citizens seize the Fed instead.

[GVnana]

The sites are Angel Island, a former federal military and immigration facility in San Francisco Bay; the top of Mount Diablo east of San Francisco, where the Navy once operated a microwave relay station; Point Sur State Historic Park in coastal Big Sur; and three beaches - Fort Ord Dunes near Monterey, Point Mugu State Park near Malibu, and Border Fields along the Mexican border.

OK.
