The Army “Corpse” lakes are closed, too. There must be hundreds.

I started a post listing as many articles as I could find on this subject linked to the previous one. The reason for my interest is in a story I`d like to relay.

While on my walk at the towpath trail I engaged two "millennial" twenty something hikers in a casual conversation about the closing.

They seemed to be your average brain dead young O`Bozo bots. However, this closure order had them pissed off and personally offended.

Their attitude was this is "their trail" where they come to "commune with their mother nature" and they seemed dispirited and genuinely insulted that their dear leader would chose to hurt them in such a personal manner.

It lead me to believe that this issue has a potential to chip away at one of his base groups, at least sow seeds of doubt in their "anointed one". This and the stories of outrage at the closure of war memorials suggests that if we could exploit this as a populist issue, it seems to have potential traction with a wide range of groups and may be a chink into one segment of the leftist moon-bat wall.

I called Marci Fudge's office and a very pleasant aide answered the phone. I gave Destiny (this is an ironic name considering the conversation) a history lesson....

Back in the days of slavery, an important path to freedom for escaped slaves was along the Cuyahoga River, hoping to get to Lake Erie and then across to Canada, for freedom. Many of them got to Cleveland, but couldn't get across the lake. Thus you have the beginnings of one of the largest, most established communities of descendents of escaped slaves in the US...on the east side of Cleveland.

In Obama's wisdom, the access to the Cuyahoga River is closed off!! That's because it's in a national park, one reason being that it should ever be remembered as the pathway to freedom for so many. Yeah folks, you got that right. If Obama had been president back in the day, those escaped slaves never would've found their way to freedom.

I do wish Marcia Fudge would teach her aides some history. She is, after all, chairman of the black caucus.
