Whaddya think on this one, Freepers?
Patriotic stance vs. overbearing Forest Service? Or private individuals can't go around placing cement on mountaintops?
FR thrives on discussion (and your donations) so weigh in on both as we approach Freedom week!
Time for Utah to kick the Federal Corrupt Government the hell out of their State. F—K this communists empire.
You follow the rules. Conservatives have great respect for the law for good reason. You just don’t get to say, “oh gee. I’m patriotic. I’ll plant a flag here!”
No. They shouldn’t have done it. And while I would place this, as a Prosecutor, in the “continue and dismiss” category, some chains need to be yanked.
Private individuals should not go around erecting structures on land owned by the public whenever they choose.
Diverting public land for private use is just as wrong as the government taking private land for public use.

I think that it’s the duty of Christians to erect crosses and patriots to put up flags.
And it’s the duty of the Godless communists to take them down and persecute us for it.
We have done our duty to God and country when we put up the cross or the flag and we should be joyous that we did it. After our act is completed, the symbol is meaningless anyway. Don’t worry about what they do afterwards. Their reward is on earth and ours is in heaven.
I’m just thankful the Forest Service is protecting me — and the wilderness — from the rampaging hordes of flagpole-planters marauding through our pristine parks.
If so, then why is a flagpole on top of a mountain acceptable and a cross on top of a mass grave not?
Just wondering.

Your point is?
...and on the subject in question, I’m sure you already know the flag and flagpole have been removed by subjects unknown. Unfortunately the concrete remains but more than likely the original suspects will have to take care of that as part of their punishment for patriotism.
All along, the only item not allowed in designated wilderness areas, was motorized anything! (Motor cycles, four wheelers, autos, chain saws, etc.)
Thought one of the pillars of Mormonism was obedience to the government.
The rule has always been “take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints.”
I just got back from a wilderness trip. It’s designated wilderness for a reason. There are plenty of other vast spaces suitable for “many uses,” such as National Forests and BLM areas.
Just curious what would happen if a bunch Muzzies tried to erect something there whether the FedGov would be up in arms.
The action certainly seems weird.
It never once occurred to me to hall concrete up a mountain to plant a flag, it sure seems like lots of work.
However, at the gate enters, of course .
If the kids were looking for a patriotic project, it’s seems they could have talked to the rangers and asked what they could do.
Did I miss the part about how the rangers knew it was mormonS or do I need more coffee.
I think the missionaries were way out of line in pouring the cement.
I also think that if it were Baptist kids doing it you would never have posted the article.
At least it was a US flag and not a symbol of America's latest fad: SOCCER!
