Obama’s tactics seem to be working. You can’t be in favor of the government shutdown and at the same time demand that the federal parks stay open.
Just to be clear, I don’t think the federal government should be in charge of maintaining any of these parks. They should be transferred to the private sector or to the state government. But as things stand right now, the federal government is in charge. And the federal government is or should be shutdown if anybody still bothers to follow the constitution.

These cones were set up to stop people from parking on the side of the road to prevent them from looking at Rushmore not visiting the actual site...
So you think the WWII and Lincoln memorial should be shut down when they are open areas accessible by a sidewalk?
But as things stand right now, the federal government is in charge.
Any thoughts on Inholders status in the National Parks?
“Obama’s tactics seem to be working.”
YOU are cooperating with Obama. These parks do not need to be shutdown. He wants this to be painful for everyone and you agree by accepting such stupidity should happen. He even has park rangers illegally shutting down roadways to prevent people from being able to view the parks from the roadways. Really? THAT’S what you support?
Civil disobedience.
And no one has been more civil than conservatives.
It is long past time for the good people of America to just flat out refuse to obey stupid,ignorant, statists and their lackeys.It is time for Americans to exercise jury nullification instead of “following the judges’ instructions”.
It is our country,we worked for it!!
You are missing the point, it isnt even the parks, it is the roads, the streets, the PRIVATE property that they are shutting down.
The evicted an elderly couple today.
Sure you can. You see the fedgov have very little to do with the parks except collecting the fees from the private businesses and state employees that run the parks.
So the idea that the parks should be closed is... well the only word is stupid.
