Park Rangers= Flying MonkeysThere is a parking area near Washington National Airport (DC) that people go to park and watch the planes take off, fish in the river, go on the bike/walking trail and yesterday (Sunday) nobody moved a “barakacade’ but the shoulder by the area was full of cars where the locals had parked. Some even admitted it was a ‘civil peaceful disobedience’ and many just shook their head and reasonably stated it would be a lot cheaper and make common sense to take the tape etc down rather than keep the ‘problem’ open as to cars parking on the shoulder and being a potential danger, pulling on and off the ONLY road from the airport to the city and connector roads...
Local ABC gave it GOOD coverage and I didn’t hear ONE person saying the situation was ‘good’....other than an ‘up yours’ good...
This is beyond stupid. Has one, ONE, reported asked Øbama why he allows this to stand?
obamma government thugs!
Another North Carolina outpost, the Peaks of Otter Lodge, folded without a fight after receiving a similar Park Service order.
This is under orders from the chief.
Some facts are screwed up in this sad tale:
The inn is Pisgah Inn south of Asheville on the BRP. Been there: the views are extraordinary and the little restaurant is pretty dang good.
Peaks of Otter is in VA, not NC.
Its fairly widespread..I was on the BRP around Mabry Mill and while the facilities were closed, they were not putting up barricades. There WAS however a more than normal Park Ranger presence on the road.
That said, folks should mount a parade/protest at least...I like the idea of flying gadsen flags.
This regime is unmasking itself as the enemy of We the People, which we knew. Now others are finding it out. It should give them mighty pause. They are not even trying to hide their fascism any longer.
Time to shut them down.
These rangers are just like the Nazis. I was only following orders.
The Rangers said the sandbags and mortars were just routine for the protection of “our people” and “Have a nice day”.
Two minor corrections to the article:
1) It’s the Pisgah Inn, not the Blue Ridge Inn, it’s just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Pisgah National Forest near Asheville. NC and SC Tea Party groups have been protesting there for a few days off and on.
2) The Peaks of Otter Lodge is along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia (near Bedford), not NC, unless the sneaky Tarheels pushed the state line about 100 miles north when I wasn’t looking.

Nazi’s
I don’t give a damn who doesn’t like the word Nazi. That is the political situation we are now in.
Obama should grow a little mustache he is Hitler reborn.
How long will we have to put up with this POS before the Congress wakes up and gets rid of this Nazi Dictator.
I’m so sick of this stuff-—and BozoCare is still up and running,poorly,but still running.
The most evil administration ever.
.
Think we got a Congress Critter with enough gumption to cite the 14th Amendment and close the White House?
Park Rangers= Flying MonkeysThey shut down the inns, costing the government income, then pay the rangers to make sure they remain shut down. They don’t want to save money; they want to inflict pain and inconvenience to make a political point.
I’d be interested in what the lease agreements for these various private homes and businesses on public land say.
Supposedly we’re a nation of laws. If the lease allows for these places to be shutdown in this sort of situation, then the owners should comply, since they agreed to what is in the lease. If not, the response is “get a warrant” (although for what, I’m not sure). Barring that, any entry is trespassing and/or home invasion and should be dealt with accordingly.
Notice that they aren’t sending in federal goons to shut down all the oil, gas, other mineral businesses operating on leased federal land or cattle operations on leased land. Just this guy, because he’s too small to hurt the DNC financially.
Peaks Of Otter is not in North Carolina. It’s in Virginia.
