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

Barack would be nothing without the insane reverence paid to him. Don’t look at the loser who was elected. Look at the losers who elected him.

You are absolutely correct! Emphasis on "the insane reverence paid to him" and "look at the losers who elected him".

And while I'm on this rant, WTF are Repub legislators (House & Senate) or Republican governors so incredibly scared shitless of 0dumb0? I can't imagine a single demoRAT governor who would knuckle under if a Repub president was acting in such a vindictive, mean, evil way to shut down not only federal parks or memorials but state ones as well.

It seems that only Scott Walker refused to capitulate to 0dumb0's orders to shut down state parks that receive a minimal amount of federal funding. But then Walker goes and makes a stupid pandering statement to blame both Repubs & demoRATs, when he knows good & damn well that the shutdown is 100% initiated by the dirty RAT bastard 0dumb0 & his cut-throat band of demoRAT legislators led by Reid & Pelosi.

Are every one of the Repub legislators & governors so absolutely scared shitless of 0dumb0shit? And if so, why is that?

I need to sign off for tonight..... getting too worked up and not good prep for Sunday School or Church tomorrow. Unless 0dumb0 has shut these down as well.....

...these are state highways and the Park Service has no business blocking them.

You wouldn't think so would you?

Thank you for your understanding. We are grateful for Kristinn's excellent input as usual and for highlighting how critical this story is for all conservatives.

‘... post that not to complain or find relief but simply to inform all of yet another incident...’

excellent point....so many people are unaware of all that is going on in our country.

It’s a lot easier than chasing real criminals. Maybe the
American people will figure it all out, but I would bet dollars to doughnuts they won’t.

Yes, they are sitting around trying to figure out how to cave and get some applause for doing so. Peter King is teaching the class.

I take that back. I heard about it, in a backhanded way, on Fox News. Our mayor glibly blamed Congress for cutting off one of only two ways in and out of this mountain valley. No real complaint from him so I guess I can’t blame the talking head for passing right by the obvious.

I wouldn't mind if you added CO State Highway 34 from Grand Lake to Estes Park to your list.
