Shutdown Theater: NPS Orders Closure of Park that Receives No Federal Funding
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 2, 2013 | Lachlan Marka

The National Park Service has ordered the closure of a Virginia park that sits on federal land, even though the government provides no resources for its maintenance or operation.

The Claude Moore Colonial Farm announced on Wednesday that NPS has ordered it to suspend operations until Congress agrees to a deal to fund the federal government.

According to Anna Eberly, managing director of the farm, NPS sent law enforcement agents to the park on Tuesday evening to remove staff and volunteers from the property.

“You do have to wonder about the wisdom of an organization that would use staff they don’t have the money to pay to evict visitors from a park site that operates without costing them any money,” she said.

If they were Federal Law enforcement agents, I thought the government was in a shutdown.

There is ALWAYS enough money for jack-boot thuggery

Remember the words of Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s closest advisor; “After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay”

Exactly. I would think people in the area would be removing the barricades and forcing their way in to get it on the evening news.

And America is just starting to hate Obama and his Democrats.

That is soooo not true! I started hating that little cockroach when he crawled into the light of day during the Illinois Senate race.

Things have not improved one wit, he is still a despicable, duplicitous enemy of the state and dare I say it, he could give politicians a bad name.

I got a facebook notice from OBX that Oregon Inlet Fishing Center (Outer Banks, NC) was closing yesterday. Boats couldn't dock if they had left for fishing. It looks like it has to do with the government shutdown. I didn't know the fishing center had anything to do with the feds. Maybe it's on the Hatteras National Seashore lands.

I'm seeing how much land is really under federal jurisdiction in this country.

I’m not sure if Hale Farm is under the feds or not. But the Metroparks are locally operated and open. That includes the Bike and Hike trail. http://www.summitmetroparks.org

Next, will they close down National Public Radio, all TV stations that receive public funds, and C-Span (Of course not, these are their propaganda outlets).

It would be a big task but somebody should compile a list of all the spiteful instances where the Obama regime is spending money to try to make the shut-down hurt as much as possible. Obama’s veto threat should be included with that, where he threatened to veto any offers to fund programs for disabled vets, etc.

Those orders will easily be traced right back to the Usurper-in-Chief - the one who, according to the son of Morsi’s #2, paid Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood affiliated President Morsi 8 BILLION dollars to kill innocent Egyptians so that Hamas could control areas close to Israel.

He can pull 8 billion tax dollars out of his back pocket to pay terrorists, but spends money to keep Americans from being able to use what is ours that requires no funding whatsoever.

Is there a lower life form than this?

How many Planned Parenthoods are closed because of the shutdown?

Maybe we need to tweet #President-Make-It-Hurt

The federal leadership deep down believes they own every square inch of land on the U S of A. They think they own all of our homes and businesses and churches and synagogues too.

I used to love in the National Park park near Hale Farm. I wonder if people are allowed into Towpath Village.

It’s Obama’s “be a dick” policy. Shut down everything that will intentionally piss people off instead of eliminating the true waste. Obama’s nothing more than a child throwing a fit.
