I think that’s the new theme. The more things that are under Federal Government control, the more dangerous it is, as is the case with this shutdown. Power and control should be decentralized and returned to the states.

Back when Fat Ed Rendell was governor, he cut off the funds to one of our local historic sites (Bushy Run, the pivotal battle in Pontiac's War) which includes a nice museum and gift shop on the battlefield. This was in retaliation to the GOP legislature which refused to pass one of his tax increases.
The local volunteer auxiliary stepped in staff the place and keep it open.
When the dust had cleared, what had been a source of employment for two or three state employees now no longer needed any. The local booster organization was doing without them just fine. I don't know if that's still the case, but it may very well have become permanent.

The Alamo is not a national park.
Isn’t Jerry Patterson is running for Gov.? Looks like maybe he’s just trying to get his name in the news.

a fellow SASS shooters father who keeps his fifth wheel up at the lake in Oklahoma, emailed me to say that her father had to pull up stakes and move out of there...as this is a Federally controlled lake.
Now the govt shutdown, does not prevent the government officers from coming by and giving those people citations.
I also hear that the everglades and waters around the southern tip of florida are shut down. How does one shut down a waterway?
the POSOTUS, is in for a big surprise come election day 2014 and 2016. That is if the uniformed voters get it right.

The trouble is, Vaquero, the uniformed voters rarely do... and with the DemocRATS' Justice Department supported voter fraud, we may never get another President that isn't an Obama clone--

In the long run, ya think this outrageous shutdown behavior will make more states want to take back their own land?

Jerry Patterson is one of Texas’s heroes.
We owe a lot to him in the Lone Star State!

I believe the Obama race voters will stay away for the midterms and unless the POSOTUS decides to thumb his nose at the constitution and somehow be allowed to run in 2016, I believe the race voters will stay home them....(unless we can get Dr Benjamin Carson or Allen West to run....)
