Maybe some of the protesting truckers need to visit the Smoky Mountains and send a message!

Of course the Smoky Mountains sounds like a great down-home back-country range of the Southern Appalachians. But then you visit and are welcomed to a “United Nations Biosphere” via expensive signs and markers. There was money enough for that travesty.

The shutdown crisis is only to cover the failed omicare.

“It’s almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough,” said Ed Mitchell, the mayor of Blount County, Tenn.

He's right - the pushing's intentional. But when the American people say, 'enough' they're going to get the second lesson - that they're powerless. It's gettin' ugly.

Zero is pushing and pushing trying to get the people to respond with armed resistance so he can declare martial law and really crack down.

..... Even though we have had governmental shutdowns in the past with little or no repercussions ...... This Administration is attempting to purposely magnify and exaggerate the effects this particular Government shutdown in an attempt to put on display for the masses ....... What a world without the loving guidance and control that our compassionate blessed government, under the command of our dear leader, would look like and feel like if the GOP should ever again get back into power.

Sheikdetail - have you read this Greenfield piece? You’ll love it:

“There are few moments that sum up the meanness of spirit of the Obama Blockade as well as a park ranger angrily telling senior citizens to get back on the bus and stop taking photos because they are engaging in forbidden “recreating”.”

I am guessing the Natchez Trace will be next as well as the running trails adjacent to it.
Time to reform Barksdale’s Brigade: “Mississippi is ready.”

“It’s almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough,”

Say? Is that the verb that follows all this pushing?

“It’s almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough,” said Ed Mitchell, the mayor of Blount County, Tenn. “We were founded on a declaration of independence. And they are about to push the people to the line again.”

Nothing is happening. So far 0dumb0shite & his corrupt band of thugs & mini-tyrants have been pushing & erecting barriers & showing up with armed guards.....and nothing is being done or said to fight back. If the governors in these states or even the local county sheriffs aren't willing to resist & fight back, 0dumb0's armed thugs will steamroll over & arrest any of the isolated attempts to fight back. We are being screwed everyday with acts of oppression & thuggery, and nothing is being done to push back or resist on a mass level.

This is political terrorism.

Obama and Co. are hurting the least and smallest of his opposition to have the biggest effect.

[Theodore R.]

Where is Lamar! Haven’t heard a peep out of that would-be liberal

[cherry]

this may all play out like in the Hunger Games, where eventually the meek and accepting people start a revolution....

This sort of government intrusion into private lives brought about a little uprising called the"Whiskey Rebellion" It was about taxes and spawned a shooting war(Which BTW was put down by G.Washington.)However it also spawned "Moonshining" and NASCAR. So what will come out of this is still to be seen.

Just an observation.

[Paine in the Neck]

the federal government shut down the park

Enough with this faceless assignation. Jonathan Jarvis, Director, National Park Service is the one issuing orders, at Obama's behest, for these shutdowns.



Likewise, all Jarvis' uniformed toadies at the local level should be photographed, IDed, named and shamed.

[Logical me]

This is just a sample of how dictatorships start. Display of power and the masses of citizens are helpless. All this big talk will only push it further into King Obama exercising his child like power. Civil disobedience does nothing permanent.

America is becoming helpless to stop this. The GOP are a sad excuse of any kind of power and willingness to stop this aggression. America is damn near finish and we are turning into a socialists third world country. One last chance. We need the Senate and keep the House. Then impeachment. Once Obamacare is in we will never be able to eliminate. Like any welfare program.

[fungoking]

Send the local sheriff down and arrest the feds...repeat all over the country.

[Uncle Miltie]

Bolt Cutters.

Just sayin’.

“It’s almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough,”

No. WRONG.

It's not "almost" that way.

It IS that way.

Obama is intentionally trying to push "Bitter Clingers" over the edge in hope someone will take violent action giving him an excuse to use the power of the government to shut down dissent.

What are the odds that he declares some sort of National Emergency before the end of his term?
