It's Public property, not Federally Owned Private Property.
I can see how they can bar access to military installations and such, but not public parks.
They have no business doing this.
And to deliberately hurt private businesses that happens to be located on Federal land?
Federal workers will get back pay. Private businesses will lose thousands with no back pay, ever.

This is no longer America, The land Of The Free.

It is now King Obama's Feifdom.

The traitors and spineless worms in the senate and congress let Obama trample all over the US Constitution and don't do a thing to protect the citizens or the nation.

“The point is, unless you give Obama what he wants, he’s going to take the power of Government and dig its heel into your back till you surrender.”

I appreciate you taking the time to voice your (correct) opinion. Well stated. I wish someone in leadership would finally make a similar appeal.

I remember reading about Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” in high school and how influential it was. It seems now there are too many voices; that we’re “Informed to Death” as Neal Postman wrote about. Your post, though an impassioned, reasoned, accurate reflection on what’s happening and what should be done, is one of a million voices adding to the din. Is it possible that a 21st century “Common Sense” could have the same affect the 18th century version did? What if Thomas Sowell, Rush Limbaugh, or Ted Cruz made the same appeal you’ve made? Is that what it will take? Why haven’t they?

There seems to be something supernatural at work which is making what you advocate unlikely. Everyone with any understanding senses that things are gravely wrong, they know that a minimum of something right up to the point of violent revolution will right it, but no one in leadership is advocating it.

Just some ramblings. I wish I had the time, skill, and/or motivation to collect my thoughts into something more articulate and readable.
