National Park Service officials cited the government shutdown as the reason for ordering an elderly Nevada couple out of their home, which sits on federal land.
"Unfortunately overnight stays are not permitted until a budget is passed and the park can reopen," an NPS spokesman explained to KTNV.
Ralph and Joyce Spencer, aged 80 and 77, respectively, own their home, but the government owns the land on which it sits.
"I had to be sure and get his walker and his scooter that he has to go in," Joyce Spencer told the local news outlet. "We're not hurt in any way except it might cost me if I have to go buy more pants."
Similarly, the NPS forced privately-operated inns on the Blue Ridge Parkway to close during the shut down.
“We've been told to make life as difficult for people as we can," an unnamed park ranger told the Washington Times. "It's disgusting.”

“This will really help sells of homes located on Federal land.”
ALL homes in the US are on Federal land.
There was a thread last night talking about all the residents getting evicted.

You folks need to step back. Nation land, parks, wildlife refuges, et al, belong to me, to you, and to all. They do NOT belong to your p_Resident. You do not have to obey unlawful orders. As a matter of fact, you have a duty to resist such orders.
You do know that Hitler’s Brownshirts were “just following orders”....

They would have been finished long ago.
Well yeah, as long as I don’t end up in a kettle of heating water with a bunch of people pointing spears at me.
I am blaming all democrats for this, no exceptions

You also have to give some of the ‘credit’ to the Spineless R’s that have been ‘taking it in the shorts’ for years AND the clowns that keep voting this same idiotic trash (on both sides of the aisle) back into office.
Apparently the REAL MEANING behind BO Obozo’s ‘YOU DIDN’T BUILD IT’ tirade was supposed to mean
‘YOU DIDN’T BUILD IT, I DID’....BO
Good idea for ‘sign’ ...
“BO:: YOU DIDN’T BUILD IT, WE DID”.
Somebody will pay for this...
Then why are you doing it???

Think of the guy who works for the circus whose job is to follow ALL the animals down the street and remove the deposited dung.
When questioned HOW he could do such a thing, he responded
“WHAT and give up Show Biz?..
working for the circus has been my lifelong dream”.
Oh, I haven't forgot them, If I posted what I thought about them the Admin Moderator would give me a time-out, and wouldn't blame her for doing so.
And now every potential looter will be lining up for the couple’s possessions.
If I posted what I thought about them the...etc....

Granted, it is hard to ‘try’ and stay on the ‘middle line’ here so as to not ‘hurt the feelings’ of some of the more ‘touchy feely’ members of the group. <: <: <:
"I was just following orders"...Nuremberg defendant.
I find that very alarming, these 'rangers' have so little integrity they would actually follow these orders.
What happened to the 'sick out'.
They sure are spending a lot of extra money for a shutdown.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Does anyone think that ObamaCare bureaucrats the likes of Jon Jarvis and Lois Lerner would not try to please Obama by exacting vengeance on Americans who dared oppose him by withholding critical medical care?
He can instruct as many many of his minions as he wants to inflict as much pain on the American people as possible, but face it, “nonessential” means what it says. Many people in Obama's economy don't have money to spend on things that are "nonessential". Welcome to the club.
Exactly, apparently it never occurred to anonymous but disgusted park ranger not to “do it”.
I just saw a story about Cumberland Island National Seashore on CBS Sunday Morning where it seems a descendant of the granting family, the Carnegies, still lives on the island, working as an artist. Makes me wonder if she was made to leave the island.
