Ted Cruz was on Mark Levin's program this week, and those were the exact words he used. He quoted from the movie, Braveheart, and said that the Republicans must hold their position, they must HOLD, HOLD, HOLD!

“Has made accommodation for” and “granted access”. Who the hell do they think they are?

Thanks for posting this great quote:

Makes one laugh and have tears at the same time.

I don’t think Obama had a legal right to put up the barrycades and change the “open 24/7” hours.
I’m hoping someone starts a class action lawsuit

I heard on the radio this morning that the MLK Memorial was wrapped up tight.

Wonder how long that will last?

Hopefully forever. This RAT bastard, communist sympathizer, adulteror should have never been given a memorial or a special holiday. Isn't it amazing we lump all the presidents (well, except for 0dumb0) into one holiday for President's Day, and MLK gets his own unique day. I think Reagan signed the MLK Day into law.... thanks for nothing Ronnie! Just another example of reverse racism to its fullest extent.

I don't disagree with your point. In principle you are right.

However, the courts for many years have determined that when government agencies do certain things, they create “free speech zones” in which the government cannot create regulations which have the effect of restricting politically unpopular expressions of views once they have allowed politically popular views to be expressed.

In other words, a regulation which might be acceptable in most places becomes unacceptable if it has the effect of restricting free speech in a location where free speech has traditionally been allowed.

In this case it looks like the creation of a “free speech zone” gave the National Park Service the legal “fig leaf” needed to justify opening the World War II memorial as an exception.

Another judge who believes they are a legislator... doesn’t hold much water. Of course other judges will obey the first judge, rather than the law. It’s BS, in my opinion.

We need photos of people being stopped from accessing open areas shut down by the Petulant King captioned with “Obama’s America” plastered from NY to California. Massed protesters could carry large signs of said photos. Keep the pressure on the Dems and the “news” media to knuckle under.

I have a modest suggestion.

Let’s take the National Park Service. They shut down - and it certainly appears to be out of vindictiveness. So let’s privatize it.

Put it out of the reach of politics. Contract it out to a willing vendor, and reduce the NPS to a minimal core of contract managers.

NIST shut down their websites, I was using for reference - well I think that NIST needs to be privatized - to put it out of reach of politics.

The IRS certainly is now a political organization. Contract it out.

The EPA is a political organization. Privatize it.

There are countless examples. If government agencies want to play politics, eliminate them. They’ve made themselves known. They can’t handle their business, so let someone else do it.

If you are “non-essential” you can be privatized. End of story.
