The Federal Government is one huge money laundering enterprise. But hey, what government this large isn’t?
I wondered when obama would start shutting down the waterways
gots to get some floating barry-cades up, may have to blockade the coasts up to 100 miles offshore, plus the rivers of course. You got a pond on your property! Its now nationalized. and closed.
anyone else notice the irony of this statement?
“Biscayne National Park is also off limits. Enforcement rangers will be on duty, Kimball said.”

And when we buck, Obama will declare martial law.
Yes, it’s striking how deep the federal tentacles are in practically every move and action by citizens across the country.
It would be something (my hopes aren’t high) if the result of the lockdown were to create an effective backlash against its intrusiveness overall—not just in Obamacare.
The other sliver of a hope I’d have would be if the country could be led to a new appreciation of our Constitution’s purposely giving the power of the purse to the House so as to make spending by the government that isn’t supported by the people possible.
I’d love to see that sort of civic education get national traction—though I know it’s highly unlikely.
This is AWFUL.....poor babies can't be fed because Harry Reid and Obama DON"T WANT THEM TO...THEY WANT THEM TO SUFFER in order for the Republicans to get blamed!!
This shut down is pealing back and revealing layers upon layers of federal government, the size and scope of their “help” and “control.”
It also sounds like this shutdown is creating a blockade to prevent food getting to a million “poor” people in Florida.
Now what would happen if food supplies were sequestered, blockaded, or otherwise shut down to a million people?
This has serious consequences — intended or unintended?
But I am entitled to my free stuff.
Churches need to ramp up. Fast.
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
Charter boats docked at North Carolina’s outer banks were ordered to move. These people are paying rent on their dock space. There’s also a local town suffering a lot –

“Insensitive’ Me would ask (foolishly) if the people receiving this food (ABSOLUTELY no problem IF qualified etc) are also receiving EBT(?) cards and/or food stamps.
Kind of like one ‘arm’ of Govt giving subsidized housing AND another sending a check to help pay the rent.
Were someone to HONESTLY take some accounts and show what these ‘leeches’ are actually drawing - Of course if they do that NO ONE would ever work again, all would be getting on the gravy train.
BUT no one has ever sat them down and told them what happens were EVERYONE to go on ‘strike’.
Of course our great Press strikes again yesterday - for the 12 years or so that BO has been at the ‘public trough’ virtually NO background info shows up.
8 hours after that lady ‘caused problems’ in DC (almost sounds like original ‘problem’ was caused by her making a ‘wrong turn’?? and then panicking when groups of armed men- in uniform and not- began chasing her) they knew what brand of ????? she uses, her life was an open book AND the Police had not ‘officially’ ID’d her.
Why does a shutdown in funding for non-essential parts of the government warrant this?
It's nothing but a punitive action to score a political jab.
Each one of theses tragic stories provides the opportunity to solve the problem and cut federal spending. 1.) Food subsidy problem: get off your lazy asses and feed yourself or go to a private charity. 2.) Federal parks/lands: give land/water back to the states (less military facilities). States can choose whether to sell to the public, homestead, or run them. The 10a was written for a reason.
The food, as it has been for the past five years, was headed to the Omega Power and Place Ministry in Liberty City, where 160 needy families each week depend on it.
So, now we discover that, besides welfare and food stamps, the feds give free turkey, chicken, and ham to organizations like "Omega Power and Place", to feed the "needy". Why do I suspect this is yet another "community organizing" group which will give you free food as long as you help with the Dem agenda?
Now we understand how food stamp recipients can afford lobster and steak -- they get their basics from these food banks!
Shut the whole thing down.
Folks, how many places around the globe have wee seen society collapse due to food riots?
How many times have governments interfered with the food distribution network, and what were the results?
State Governments run by conservatives need to step up and shut down the Federal Government actions within their borders.
Wisconsin isnt even a mostly conservative state and it told the fedgov to F off, when they told Wisconsin to close their parks.
The states have the manpower and coordination to defy this out of control tyranny. The States have the power, but do they have the will to do so? I guess we will find out who needs to be replaced in state governments as well...
Remember to tell people that the President decides what to shut down
How did we EVER survive as a country without all of these government overlords?
yesterday, bread and milk were on the grocery store shelves. Amazing! Guess it will be a full week before the shelves, in the grocery store, are empty.
Huh? What's next, are they going to cut off our air supply?
