And now the feds have put up cones to keep people out of scenic overlooks on Mount Rushmore.

From 9500 ft elevation to 18,000 ft? That’s not going to bother anybody. I don’t have a sectional chart of Grand Forks handy but I’m guessing nobody really cares about that corridor anyway? But If I was going that way I guess an F-18 jockey wouldn’t mind showing me they way thru.

They didn’t reach the point where they could be this audacious without first going through the steps of demoralization. The NSA, the IRS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the Boston marathon bombing where the perp was deported, Extorion 17, the apparent threats to Chief Justice Roberts, the Chrysler investors’ shares being given to the union instead, the stealing of the 2012 election, Obama’s blatantly fake BC, the election challenges dropped because of threats, the Andrew Breitbart and Michael Hastings deaths, the NDAA allowing assassinations of Americans on American soil for simply being “belligerent” (as defined by the regime)...

The regime has been working hard to convince us that resistance is futile. Any one of those things in days gone by would have undone a regime. But we’ve been conditioned. They’ve boiled this frog.

It would be a miracle if America survives this without a lot of bloodshed. Read an article today saying that Pentagon sources say Obama is planning to use a provision which allows him to declare martial law if there is too much resistance to a law to allow it to be enforceable without martial law, and that the military is preparing to fight back by using a provision that allows the military to remove a communist regime (basically). Only thing is, the military would have to mutiny against the Obama-appointed military leadership, in order to actually do something. If the article is correct, it could be rank-and-file military and the freedom-loving peoples fighting against the well-armed regime and its minions. Of course he wants to make us hurt first. Drain us dry before the battle begins.

Very serious times we’re in. Very, very serious.

If we protest and occupy our monuments, will 0bama gaze at them from his taxpayer provided limo and state that “he is with the protester’s”?

Seriously??

I find the whole Rushmore thing unbelievable. Is this a joke from SNL or The Onion??

If this is real, Pres. StompyFoot and his administration are getting close to the tipping point. Add in keeping the tourists, particularly the vets, away from the memorials in DC. This administration is clueless.

I heard some beaches were closed because of the tides from Karen.

I do expect that Obastard will declare himself pResident for life at some point...he’ll engineer something wher we “need” him...maybe ObastardCare will cause an economic collapse like 2008 and he will have to suspend the elections

Thank you for the eye witness account.

I think the *unintended consequences of the barrycades are going to come back and bite the Demowits in the butt come election time.

Amendment V

nor shall any person be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Every American owns the seashore. EVERY American. It is not within the purview of the President to prohibit this property from each of us for his vindictive purpose, anymore than it is to IMPRISON US from WITHOUT THOSE PROPERTIES whose enjoyment is part of our individual AND united ownership of national properties and monuments. These were set aside to prevent private ownership from preventing public enjoyment. How is public seizure by the individual of the President or of the Presidency not the equivalent in effect?

There should be a movement afoot to create new NPs in the image and likeness of the *One*

My daughter and granddaughter went down to the WW2 Memorial today. There were barriers up that said “Closed”, yada,yada. Well, my granddaughter went around or over the barrier and stood on the other side, pointing to the “Closed sign”, with a big grin on her face.

These barriers are now just “show” items, never really meant to stop any one. Just to show the Obama cronies in the leadership of the US National Park Service that the guys on the street did what they were supposed to do, put up the barriers and leave. Much of the rank and file hate their upper ranking bosses, esp. in DC.

However, I understand that out west, the NPS is being really mean to tourists and locals alike, cutting off access roads, etc.

Time to take names and ask a helluva lot of questions of Congressmen and Senators, such as “When are you going to hold hearings on these idiotic closings and when are you going to issue subpeonas for all USNPS contacts with the White House, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi?

Time to take the action to the enemy. Come on Issa, Rogers, King, etc. Let’s cut their balls off at the knees.

Time to play Rugby, not Ping Pong.

Translate this please into a mapped area of the country— all I can get is Grand Forks... which is South Dakota, but the 11 Nautical mile circle does not intersect over Mt Rushmore . So, is the airspace over Mt Rushmore closed....?!! Nutso.
