It’s official. They are shutting all of us down ASAP. Marching orders straight from the White House.
Update: Mr. Meyer emails to add that not only is his business being forced to take losses for the closures, but in some cases the government is making him and the other park management companies buy the barricades that will be used to shut the parks.
Warren Meyer of Phoenix, AZ, is owner and president of Recreation Resource Management, Inc. RRM employs about 400-500 camp workers and managers across about a dozen states. It is one of a handful of companies that have been managing national parks and campgrounds as tenants for years, through previous government shutdowns including the last one in 1995-1996. Those previous shutdowns never closed any of the parks managed in this way, but the current shutdown threatens closure.
The campgrounds are self-sufficient and receive no federal funding. No government employees staff or manage the parks. The management companies pay the National Park Service out of the funds they generate from operating the thousands of campgrounds. So the reason for the shutdown is puzzling to Meye
His “force” killed a woman in Washington today.
Very valid question, seems we’ve accepted this garbage for far far too long.
And yes, your point is so well made, the dems are all in for the dictator - let it hang them all.
Obama ordered Mt. VERNON closed even though it’s PRIVATELY OWNED!!! DICTATOR!!
We need to make sure "barrycade" becomes a permanent word in the English language!
From what I know...
Said hated Democrat governor’s daughter now holds national office—Kathleen Sibelius.
I’ll wager this is one place the idea came from NOW.
Wikipedia:
“Sebelius is the daughter of former Democratic Ohio Governor Gilligan and thus they became the first father/daughter governor pair in the United States after her election.[Following passage of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, she pointed out another father-daughter connection: her father had been in the House of Representatives when Medicare was originally passed in 1965.”
It didn't wake the hitler zombies.
So... riddle me this. Besides the viz center being shut.
What really closes in a thousands of sq. miles park with
US and or state highways running thru it.
Thousands of adjoining nat. forests or private properties. I know maybe
the campgrounds and facilities shutter-
but what keeps a fella from taking a hike in the woods ?
I think he was the one on FOX this morning. Ridiculous power play going on. Nothing but a game to tick people off. Thing is, it is backfiring on the admin.
Illegals are walking in every day to tend their marijuana fields and haven’t been arrested for trespassing. But those are the privileged ones. US citizens have to pay to get in and must follow the rules or risk being kicked out or arrested.
“Thanks Obama for killing our local economy.”
It’s his laser focus on jobs! He will not rest until he solves this jobs crisis!
Anybody out there know if Gettysburg is Barrycaded?
I agree.
Except maybe for that 'politely' part. I would be tempting to tell them to refuse using language I try not to use anymore. It would have to do with requesting Obama perform an anatomically impossible act.
I like the way you think.
“The man is still hated”
Somehow “Hate” isn’t strong enough to describe the feelings of the common people about Obama.
Everywhere I go, folks are openly and vehemently venting about him closing down the parks, the memorials, their jobs, and about him shoving Obamacare down their throats.
All kinds of folks: the Asian bank teller; the black man who waits on me at the deli counter; just about everyone at the V.A. hospital.
Something must be done about this megalomaniacal wannabe despot.
Just shows how much this punk oversteps his authority. He will have no problem confiscating IRA’s and 401K’s.
