Time for a Flotilla.

Here in S UT there is a state highway running through Zion NP. It is open but the idiot Feds said you are liable to being fined or arrested if you “stop to take pictures or recreate”. The LIBs are insane.

You’re very kind. Thank you.

One day we’re gonna look back at the Obama Administration as a horrific abberation in this nation’s history, one that finally caused the people of the United States to rise up and reassert the Founding Father’s values.

[Pelham]

I’m glad to see the Obamunists doing this.

Small, mean, petty authoritarian crap like this will alienate Americans far more effectively than anything that the halfwit GOP can do.

Cones do burn. See more photos at my page. My daughter's unit in Iraq:

How can they be working if the government is shut down?

Since they are not supposed to be working, they don’t have any authority to take such action.

I do not recognize the authority of vigilante groups posing as legitimate park police who are on furlough.

[Winstons Julia]

I think that’s what everyone is wondering.

Thanks Kristinn. I saw this story first on my Facebook feed and went to find another source. That’s when I found the Argus and tried to post IT here...but couldn’t. I appreciate you telling the mods. I didn’t want to post the Argus story and break the rules.

All of this is to see how far they can go before the people push back. And to show the people that cops and rangers are loyal to obama. It boggles the mind.

And we haven’t even gotten to the budget limit. I’ve got a feeling that crash people have been predicting is about to happen.

[Girlene]

Unbelievable...and yes, Why ARE people following these “orders”. What authority does the National Park Service have in this instance?

[VideoDoctor]

This creep is poking the skunk just to see what happens.

What will happen?

As USUAL the skunk will PI$$ all over him. Give it time. You ALWAYS reap what you sow.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Does this mean that no one will have a chance to immolate themselves in front this monument?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Did you hear that Obama is trying to close the ocean, too?

[Daffynition]

Did you see the Barrycades they put up at Mt. Vernon?

Well, when you visit Mt. Vernon, the tour guide clearly explains that Mt. Vernon is owned and operated solely by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association.

[Winstons Julia]

Apparently, though, the government owns a PART OF the parking lot. So they barrycaded it.

[Art in Idaho]

Are they asking for papers yet?

[Winstons Julia]

No. Immolations are still allowed...but NEXT time, the guy has to make sure to have a sign blaming it on the GOP, at least.

Ping. We need to collect a list of these exaples.

Obama wants to collect sob stories regarding the shutdown. We need to give him S-O-B stories: stories of what a SOB he is...

[butterdezillion]

Ping. We need to make a list of Obama’s temper tantrums. Do you have links that tell about these closures?

I double-dog dare Obama to close the interstate highways so even the America that believes CNN will have a good view of the piece of crap he really is.
