On Thursday, the Pisgah Inn, which holds a concession on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville, North Carolina, announced that it would defy the National Park Service’s order to close up, and would open doors for business on Friday. On Friday morning, NPS rangers showed up, lights swirling, to close down the business and turn away its customers, supposedly thanks to the government shutdown.
Pisgah Inn receives no federal money, and according to owner Bruce O’Connell, who spoke exclusively to Breitbart News, “All we do is pay the government money. We don’t take anything from them.” It is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which was deemed a thoroughway and therefore left open by the National Parks Service. Nonetheless, earlier this week, the NPS moved to shut it down. Michael Litterst, chief spokesman for the Park Service, said, “We do not believe it is appropriate or feasible to have some parts of the system open while others are closed to the public.”

My wife and I have been there...it is absolutely stunning, especially in fall. Make sure you hang this shutdown albatross right around the neck of EVERY SINGLE democrat you encounter...b*stards. All 65 million of you.
Michelle Bachmann ought to show up with a tow truck or two...
Yep.
They just shut down one of the oldest restaurants in San Francisco.
It is privately owned and always has been.
The governor needs to call it an invasion and mobilize the state guard.
We now have a name...
I thought they weren’t allowed to work
Two names.
Then quit.
One man’s spite and anger is responsible for this. One man who micromanages all agencies of the government. One man who is getting his revenge on the people that he hates so much.
And that’s the rub...they love their jobs more than their country.
I feel bad for the ranger in the interview on the one hand.
He seems resigned to perform his job in violation of his conscience .
But, never the less he is performing against his conscience for the hope of a signed paycheck.
This exactly what will happen if the government goes all out with its tyrannical desire for predation and deep seated desire to demonstrate what thugs are in power.
Ah, the royal Obama tantrum continues.
God’s going to let the evidence of evil grow and grow and grow until we can’t ignore it. That’s the manner in which He works, because He uses willing servants.
There will be conflicts here.
Still lets not bury our faces so deep in spots of darkness that we cannot see what the light is showing us. Every such attempt highlights the Obama vanity AND the obscene scope of Federal power, something which earlier presidents could in principle do but none had the narrow vindictiveness to actually do. All manner of things which can’t be defunded because they were never funded in the first place are being jackbooted. The Tantrum Thrower In Chief thinks this will get a complacent America to throw in with his tantrums. But he’s forgotten that there is a God, and when a stupored, groggy America finally takes a clumsy grasp of said Deity, he’s poised to get a rude surprise.
Agenda 21and their Geenspace habitat grab perhaps...
It is rampant here in Floriduh!

Well, that “one man” had best consider more carefully how he decides to dictate to the people as he IS VULNERABLE. Other dictators have been removed from their lofty perches and this “one man” is no different. He CAN BE REMOVED in a variety of ways.
Agree and it ends quite in character when Obama leaves his supporters to hang out to dry, quite literally.
bttt
This Nation needs to repent...period.
-——All manner of things which can’t be defunded because they were never funded in the first place are being jackbooted.——
The fact this is happening means there is premeditation on a large scale. That means that a large scale plan was developed to maximize discomfort and public upset all across America.
The treacherous tyrant set his minions to work in the very same manner he set them to work to destroy the Tea Parties.
Off with his head!!!
This is about more than just Obama. It is about evil, and as a Christian I affirm Ephesians chapter 6 which points the finger of the ultimate roots of evil at the rebel angels, the demons. God gives and builds; demons steal and destroy. People who are willing to be saved will be. People who are so bent on clinging to evil that they are unwilling to be saved will go to a freakish place of everlasting punishment and hatred. Obama is but a vessel. Obama has the same choice extended by God to him as to you and I. He’s refusing God’s grace for Satan’s power. In principle he could repent. If he won’t he will get overrun, in the next world if not this one.
