"She said she was just doing her job," Sanders said of Jackson.

So were the Nazis and Chekists in their day.

THIS LAND’S NOT YOUR LAND
Tune: “This Land Is Your Land”
As sung by King Obama

This land’s not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land’s not made for you to see

If you go driving an interstate highway
And see an orange cone, you’ll do it my way
You will obey me and not go forward
This land’s not made for you to see

This land’s not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land’s not made for you to see

You’ll want to travel and go to Mount Rushmore
But at Rapid City, you won’t go much more
Guards will surround you, their voices sounding:
This land’s not made for you to see

This land’s not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land’s not made for you to see

If you oppose me, I’ll make you suffer
Come near memorials, I’ll put up a buffer
I am Obama, I am your land lord
This land’s not made for you to see

This land’s not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land’s not made for you to see

If you go looking, you’ll see a sign there
And on the sign it says: “There’s No Trespassing”
And on the other side: “No Looking or Nothing!”
Both sides were made for you to see

This land’s not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land’s not made for you to see

At the Redwood Forest, in the land of the Canyons
By the Gulfstream Waters, you’ll see my minions
As they stand there guarding, you’ll stand there wond’ring:
Is this land safe for me to see?

This land’s not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land’s not made for you to see

No one can stop me, my mind is made up
As I go putting my Barrycades up
Nobody living can make me give your land back
This land’s not made for you to see

New voices:

But King Obama, this land is our land
So shut your piehole, you can go pound sand
From the bitter clingers to Barack Obama:
This land was founded to be free

This land ain’t your land, this land is our land
So shut your piehole, you can go pound sand
From the bitter clingers to Barack Obama:
This land was founded to be free

Rip it up and throw it in their faces.

Then get ready for the arrest.

F ‘em.

[hosepipe]

What no sign warning the drivers that you should turn around or the little bitch at the ranger station will give you a 125 dollar ticket? Outrageous...

[Frank_2001]

Now THAT is CLEVER! :)

Rip it up and throw it in their faces. Then get ready for the arrest.

Alas, THAT is actually a crime, whereas it is highly debatable if the national parks can actually close without violating federal law, or if national parks officials (or rangers) have the legal ability to deem you trespassing on public land for anything other than an actual emergency (forest fire, mudslide, active police investigation or public health hazard.)

So feel free to engage in debate, but don't litter.

Access is cut off but the NPS has got its personnel geared up for shakedown patrols.

Sounds like Obamacare.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Take away park rangers guns and I don’t think they’d have the guts.

An armed society is a polite society unless it’s the government that has the guns.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

It’s too bad one of the drivers didn’t beat the crap out of the Nazi rangerette.

Screw the National Park “Service.”

I appreciate your lyrical adaptation. However, please note that the original Arlo Guthrie song is a socialist anthem.

I only have two words for these tree cops and I won’t repeat them here.

[nomobs]

This administration decides which laws to enforce.

[smokingfrog]

They have to work without pay but can probably get unemployment compensation in the mean time, and then collect back pay later.

whoopie!

Rut-ro!..... that is in my neighborhood.
