How Ted Cruz Ruined My Trip to a National Park (Website)

Soooo I'm searching for info on a Civil War historic site and

click on a National Park Service page presented 

(high) in the Google results- yet all I get is this:

"Because of the Federal Government Shutdown, 

all national parks are closed 

and the National Park Service webpages are not operating. 

For more information, go to www.doi.gov"

It costs less somehow to generate/post disingenuous Obama propaganda and close down all their other pages, then? And these messages are putting themselves up?

That ain't how it works with my server-

Just in case you missed that, a big, black banner promptly pops-over that page with a similar threadbare spiel re. how they've been forced to close the site, how it's 'affecting our national parks', 'what we're doing' to deal with it, etc- but this didn't cost anything to code?

Alas, once you click the 'X' to get rid of that banner, they send us off someplace else: apparently noooo trouble either keeping-up the
US Department of Interior webpage they auto-redirect you to in five seconds (whether you like it or not) so you won't miss hyper-politicized tripe where you can read all about their urgent 'contingency plans'...

Once one clicks on the top-of-the-front page feature re. 'Government Shutdown 2013', they serve up a long page of links and info on such timely topics as unemployment insurance for furloughed federal employees and the emergency 'plans' (perhaps 'schemes' would be more befitting) they've drawn up for each and every area of their authority/responsibility affected by the America-hating TEA Party.

Yes, all of this was developed for free... while it costs way too much to just leave the site up the way it was two weeks ago, back when it just had stuff about wildlife, geology and history (posted in prior months and years) on there- and if you don't buy that, there's got to be something wrong with you.

Socialism doesn’t work in parks any better than it works in anything else.

Exactly, Obama thinks we’re as dumb as the people who elected him

It’s insulting- seriously

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Most people ARE that stupid.

Ya mean...there's actual live type people behind all the buggery-jiggery that runs the Interwebs? Wow.

[Fresh Wind]

I’m pretty sure the U.S. Department of the Inferior is up and running at full strength.

Praise Obama!

Quick you need some anti-venom!

The Ted Cruz, Van Jones Face-Off You’ve Been Waiting for: ‘Van, I Know You Desperately Want to Change the Topic From Obamacare…’

"........Chuckling at Jones’s premise, Cruz responded: “Van, I know you desperately want to change the topic from Obamacare.”

“Democrats in this town do not want to discuss Obamacare,” the Texas Republican explained. “Why? Because it isn’t working.”.......

Why aren’t the Obamacare websites shutdown? I thought government was closed................./s

[smokingfrog]

Even if you are not able to visit the parks, there’s no reason for the history and other information about them to not be available on the web. The same goes for NASA and some of the other government run websites. It looks like it’s time to outsource the job to some private contractors.

Someone else had a great idea that I personally thought was one of the best I’ve heard.

Everyone should start printing their own signs saying “By Order of President Obama This Park is Closed” and putting them up at all these locations.

Ted Cruz is responsible??? I thought it was the petulant Democrats who own the Senate and White House.

I happen to be on vacation near a National Park. The facilities are closed—I would have liked to see a planetarium show—but it has miles of trails that are available for hiking.

...but it has miles of trails that are available for hiking.

Careful. You may be stalked by a Forest Service SWAT team!
