Folks who live in the Great Smoky Mountains have just about reached their breaking point with the federal government.
“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.”
Nearly a third of Blount County is inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. So when the federal government shut down the park, it also shut down one of the area’s chief sources of revenue.
The National Park Service also closed the Foothills Parkway, a major thoroughfare in the county. The closure came without warning and left the local school district scrambling to get children back to their homes.

Even more insulting is the National Park Service won’t allow family members to visit old grave sites.
“Some of them have family members buried there,” the mayor said. “And they go and visit every week at the churches still in the cove. They are not able to do that.”
It’s gotten to the point where Mayor Mitchell said Americans are ready to start fighting back. “It’s almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough,” he said.

“Near the breaking point...”
That’s what the WON wants—can you say Marshall Law?
That's what the billions of rounds of ammunition are for. USFS and Park Service probably have hundreds of millions themselves.
They’re trying.
Maybe martial law.
That’s the idea.
I wonder when they will shut down all of the TVA dam power plants and any other government owned plants, such as the Hoover Dam?
By golly, that would teach those tea partiers to mess with the monarch Obama (thissentence sarcasm)
I think I would PUSH and see how far the NO CROSS OVER ZONE really works. If 100,000 Americans rose up to take back what is THEIRS..... maybe Washington would get the message.
“It’s almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough,”
No, they are pushing to see if they can get the American people to react and give them an excuse for a crackdown.
Elections...consequences.
no but i can say Martial Law.
A lot of folks are noticing this.
Unfortunately for us and fortunately for the federal enemy within, we tend to be too law abiding.
The government sees no reason to stay within its constitutional bounds so why are we “Near the breaking point” and not beyond it?
Does it take them shooting at us before we begin to fight?
The progressives are at war with us but they are the only ones fighting.
Yes, I can say it and I can also spell it. Martial Law.
And suspend all elections.
And suspend all elections.
I can say “Martial Law.”.............

Too bad the FEDs have to drive on county roads to get to the park. I wonder what would happen if those county roads were closed to federal agents?
