Seems like it is costing the Fed Gov more money to “Make the People Feel the Pain of the Shutdown” instead of simply shutting things down....
This was really stupid on Obama’s part. The Vets are like the pebble in the brook....the ripple seems to go on forever...
A FReeper may correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they are.
Well, the Washington monument is under repair, still, I think. But the others are barricaded.
Yes, with the logo of the republican party on it.
“Covering Rushmore with a drape makes as much sense as blocking off an open air monument. And, yes, bam-bam is doing it to hurt the vets. Maybe the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington monuments should be off limits, too.”
They probably are. The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are closed and barricaded in Philadelphia. Folks can get a peek at the Bell thru a window in the building.
The National Public Service is probably doing the barricades to save themselves from lawsuits if something happens while none of their rangers are there. (I did read on an FR thread yesterday about the WW II vets that a Park ranger agreed with the vets and didn’t try to impede their progress.)
Normandy, was also closed we when got there!!!...Hussein Obama...tear down theses BARRYcades!!!
As per Obama we are in a Government shutdown, except for enrollment of Obamacare which isn’t even funded! I found this article pertaining to the anti-deficiency act of 1870 here is the link if anyone can post this on Freerepublic I would appreciate it. http://www.cnbc.com/id/101078243
If they cover Rushmore with drapes, how will Team America launch?
Oh GEEEEEZE that’s funny!
Last night our local news said “THE BUFFALO NATIONAL RIVER HAD BEEN SHUT DOWN!” because of the government shutdown. They then showed several drying up puddles, but never showed the river itself.
A few months ago I told a girl at Yellowstone that after dark the park rangers turn off the pumps to the falls and the boilers to the geysers.
She didn’t believe me.;-D
It is all to make the peasants feel as much inconvenience and pain as possible. There needs to be a Republican Congressman in front of every memorial in Washington telling the people that they have proposed sending a bill that would keep the parks open but the Senate Rats and Obama have refused to pass them. Then give them all the numbers to the WH switchboard and all the Senate Rats’ offices.
As much as I detest 0bama, I would be surprised if this was his personal decision. You have to realize that there are thousands and thousands of mean, evil, despicable, America-haters working in the federal government. There are hundreds of thousands of government “workers”, many of them within Dept. of the Interior, capable of making such a spiteful decision. And they’ll still be around when 0bama is long gone.
We have an administration that acts like 10 year olds.
That makes a winning combination for restoring America.

Tweet from Eric Shultz:
“Anyone ask the very GOPers upset w/ the WWII mem if they’d support a clean CR? EVERY memorial would reopen, as would the govt”
How about doing this nationwide with carefully selected locations? Just open-air, generally accessible Federal memorials and parks—no closed buildings you would have to break in and enter.
Keep it in the public eye. Everywhere.
They are on defense with this. Press the advantage.
Sorry folks, Grand Canyon's covered over. Moose outside shoulda told you.
Who the “government god’s” wish to destroy they must first make them angry....
