Almost immediately, an armed ranger came by and ordered them to get back in, saying they couldn’t “recreate.” The tour guide, who had paid a $300 fee the day before to bring the group into the park, argued that the seniors weren’t “recreating,” just taking photos.

“She responded and said, ‘Sir, you are recreating,’ and her tone became very aggressive,” Vaillancourt said.


See, this is the point where you need to start with the civil disobedience and mockery. I can’t recreate? Watch me! Start a sing a long, skip around, play frisbee.... force the thugs to try to arrest you for “recreating” and then make a public spectacle of the trial.

That may be...

No better way to get a bad law/policy repealed than to enforce it fully.

We need to turn the National Parks over to the states or to private parties and abolish the Park Service.

This story really ticks me off...and I’m perpetually ticked off lately. No one I know (other than on conservative websites) even knows about all this. I got in a nasty argument with a lifelong friend over all the closures. She said I should just put up a HATE OBAMA (her caps) website and be done with it. Methinks she’s in for a rude awakening.

Interesting how these public ‘servants’ like to push other citizens around. For forty years, Christ has been exorcised from public life, so these Federal employees truly don’t know their right hand from their left. They make perfect recruits for enforcement of Obama’s New Order.

When you take government or state money there is always the possibility of this happening. However, since the people own the government and state this shouldn’t happen.

The Dean of my high school for 33 years never took a penny from government. They pulled and pushed her so many times, even tried to get to her through her students; but no dice. She never did. I think that was one of the most important lessons in life I ever learned.

Some may think it is over blown, but myself. I think anyone that pickets or protests these actions should make flags, banners etc that Call it what it is...

Nazi Tactics

Gestapo style Intimidation

See how the Spite House likes seeing that distinction.

Maybe it’s time to send militias into the parks.

Ok. I called my ohio congressman, asked for him directly and he wasn’t in. I then asked to speak with his senior staffer, which I did. I told him this is urgent that something is terribly wrong. Asked him if he was aware if the Yellowstone situation, he said, “no”. I said, “you should be because park rangers locked people in their hotel and surrounded it with armed rangers. I then read him key points of the article. I requested a response by the end of the day, I demanded to know what is being done about it. I wanted Stivers made personally aware of it and wanted a personal response from him.

Jonathan Jarvis, Director, National Park Service, is the one, at Obama's behest, who is issuing written orders to carry out these closures.



Why has not Congress called him in to answer for this?

The “enforcers” have to live locally,
and should be SHUNNED at a minimum.

The local sheriff should go pay that Ranger a visit to see how tough she thinks she is.
Then arrest her if she talks funny.

We need some FReeper attorneys on this one. If I am not mistaken this is kidnapping. Being held and not allowed to leave is the definition. Call the FBI to arrest the park rangers. Now that would be cute. Seriously they were unlawfully detained. Press charges.

Good to see that the park police are just following orders. It’s amazing what a paycheck and job security will buy.

Remember this. This kind of treatment was ordered by this corrupt administration, meaning the guy at the top.
He is very willing to use illegal tactics against innocent citizens.
This was unlawful restraint.
Remember this. It will get worse.

If only these people would realize that their votes caused this.

Cup of coffee? $10.00 for you.

We’re out of eggs
and bacon
and sausage
and toast

How about corn flakes? That will be $7.00
