Shutdown Overreach

-- At the World War II Memorial on The Mall in Washington, where veterans have been staging protests to keep it open, Washington Examiner's Charlie Spiering reports that at least seven officials were dispatched Wednesday morning to set up a ring of barricades to block tourists from the memorial. That is two more than the State Department had in Benghazi a year ago on the night of the terrorist attack that killed four, including the U.S. ambassador.

-- National Park Officials closed down the educational Claude Moore Colonial Farm near the CIA in McLean, Va., even though the federal government doesn't fund or staff the park popular with children and schools. Just because the privately-operated park is on Park Service land, making the federal government simply its landlord, the agency decided to close it.

Boehner IS Agent Orange.

[oldbrowser]

The Marxists are using the government "services" to extract the maximum amount of pain from the public to get their way.

This is very similar to a union action. ???

If the pubs keep a backbone this thing will turn on the dems. The fact that they feel it necessary to cause as much pain as they can shows what scum they are!!

They even shut down websites: Space Science Images

Soetoro and tens of thousands of federal employees.

It really is us against all of them.

[Don Corleone]

These are Alinsky’s tactics.

[Izzy Dunne]

So they shut down Space Science Images, but these others are up:

NASA Photo Journal

Planetary Kp Index

Voyager

NASA Photo Gallery

They shut down EVerify as well. Arizona and Mississippi require employers to use eVerify to make sure employees are eligible for employment.

HUZZAH

I have to wonder when the decisions to shutdown some sites and leave others up and running was made?

Before the inevitable shutdown began or after?

the federal Employees site...OPEN.

a Privately Funded "colonial Farm" SHUTDOWN because it's on goverment" land.
