It will keep happening until one of two things happen. Either Americans will agree to be subjugated or they will unquestionably clean house of anybody who has shown even a hint of desire to subjugate the people.

My hope is that free Americans are successful in the second option, but I’m not too hopeful because, if Americans saw themselves as mostly free, they would not have let it get this far.

I think it would be funny to see some politician, who is holding a rally, to ask the people in attendance to kneel down to prey to the “Great and Mighty Obama.” This is, of course, mocking Obama, but it would make a great visual if it made it to Drudge or some other media.

Paramilitaries?

"Pigs" is the proper noun. Just ask Eric Blair!

Paul Kengor: Privatize the National Park Service ".................The Weekly Standard, a conservative source not given to hyperbole, argues in an editorial that the Park Service’s conduct “might be the biggest scandal of the Obama administration.” That’s no small claim for an administration plagued by scandals ranging from Benghazi to the eye-opening overreach of the IRS, the NSA, and (among others) the HHS mandate. The Standard rattled off examples of abuses during the shutdown, highlighting the most egregious of them all, the shameless scene at the World War II Memorial:

People first noticed what the NPS was up to when the World War II Memorial on the National Mall was “closed.” Just to be clear, the memorial is an open plaza. There is nothing to operate. Sometimes there might be a ranger standing around. But he’s not collecting tickets or opening gates. Putting up barricades and posting guards to “close” the World War II Memorial takes more resources and manpower than “keeping it open.”

No question. What happened at the World War II Memorial was pure political exploitation. As I wrote here earlier this week, for the propaganda artist, the spectacle of elderly, heartbroken, wheelchair-bound vets voyaging thousands of miles to remember their fallen brothers, maybe for a final earthly time, only to be denied by cruel, intransigent Republicans, was apparently too lovely to pass up. What great political theater! The propaganda points for the White House and its lieutenants must have been irresistible.

One can’t help notice the irony of a White House that can’t build a border fence but in mere hours can barricade the World War II Memorial and seemingly every other historic site in the nation.

Indeed, as the Standard noted, the barricading of the World War II Memorial was “just the start of the Park Service’s partisan assault on the citizenry.” It noted other historical sites that are privately owned and operated, where “the Park Service doesn’t actually do anything.” Nonetheless, the Park Service mustered the resources to deploy officers to forcibly remove volunteer workers and visitors. As the Standard put it, the Park Service “is now in the business of forcing parks they don’t administer to close…. It’s one thing for politicians to play shutdown theater. It’s another thing entirely for a civil bureaucracy entrusted with the privilege of caring for our national heritage to wage war against the citizenry on behalf of a political party. This is how deep the politicization of Barack Obama’s administration goes.”.........................

Glenn Beck Invites Anyone & Everyone to Come Pick Up Trash With Him in Washington, D.C. "Glenn Beck is inviting anyone and everyone to come pick up trash with him at the U.S. Capitol on Saturday.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), FreedomWorks, and the Tea Party Patriots are all scheduled to be at the ”Help Fix Up D.C.” day of service as well.

“I’m going to be on the Capitol lawn at 10:00 a.m.,” Beck said on his radio show Friday, encouraging people to come with their families and bring rakes, garbage bags and anything else they might need for a day of service. “They are letting the garbage spill out everywhere and they are not doing anything and it’s a disgrace.”..................

Doubtful the full rank is willing to capitulate, but nonetheless, too many have. Perhaps the backstabbers need to be reminded of the Americana they’re meant to protect. No doubt public education has failed these ignorant fools.

I doubt very much that students these days are even required to read through the constitution; they sure as h*ll have no conception of what it means.

Grand Canyon to reopen despite shutdown "........States had proposed this sort of arrangement early on, saying they’d done the same thing in the 1995-1996 shutdowns, but the Park Service had balked this year, telling states it didn’t have the legal ability to make those deals. Late this week, the service reversed itself....."

-------------------

....telling states it didn’t have the legal ability to make those deals....

This is the SAME reason the death benefits to be paid to our heroes's families were blocked. Eric Holder and the U.S. Department of Justice scoured legal fine print to make the American people suffer.

Military death benefits withheld on purpose?
