MORE SHUTDOWN INSANITY - Talladega Trail of Tears
personal friend on FB ^ | An American Mother

Posted on 10/07/2013 9:28:04 AM PDT by AnAmericanMother

This has to be read to be believed.

A group of competitive trail riders, having just completed 75 and 50 mile endurance rides, were evicted from Talladega NF in the middle of the night. Exhausted horses and humans were forced to move trailers out of a pine grove in the dark under threat of fines and prosecutions.

The local park rangers were sympathetic, but U.S. Marshals were brought in (no doubt at great expense) to ensure that the rangers caused as much pain as possible despite their personal sympathy.

Coming soon to a government function near you . . . < cough cough Obamacare cough cough >

We need to declare the occupant of the White Hut insane and invoke the 25th Amendment.

Park Service, and Forestry, and BLM should be defunded and disbanded, and the lands they manage returned to the states.

If the states want the former federal personnel, let them hire them and pay them. But as federal agencies they should cease to exist. We’re broke. We don’t need to be paying people to manage lands that should not be federal from the beginning. We certainly don’t need to be paying people who are willing to act as Obama’s personal catspaws.

Built by public tax funds. So in reality we do own it. The government manages it. And manages to screw it up ...

Does anybody else suspect Obummer might be throwing all these sparks in the hopes of setting off the powder keg?

We have been close to losing our collective temper for quite some time now, but all these provocations have me nervous. He is poking the hornet’s nest and I believe he has a motive behind it all. And we’re not gonna like it.

These are wonderful exercises by the fascists to see how docile the sheeple are. So far, it’s looking pretty good for the fascists, particularly the degree with which the media are cooperating in hiding what’s going on right now.

Further thoughts on protest- would be send a box of crayons, but remove the red crayon, I getting tired of the red lines- make him use a different color.
I vote for hot pink to match his fetching personality

Well it’s Ms. Dancer but no matter .... I’m talking about monuments like that WWII one and Arlington cemetery for another. I think it’d be more like being arrested for not leaving. Wonder what would happen if thousands of WWII vets got arrested for not leaving. They showed up but left.

Having watched “Mr. Roberts” last night I could not help but think, we see this again with Zero as Captain John Morton. We The People, are the crew of the “Reluctant” and are to dance to the whims of Capt. Zero. When we don”t dance, he will remove the things rightfully ours to enjoy.
I await, even a milquetoast such as Ensign Pulver to stand-up and heave the Palm Tree(Hairy Reid) over board. Then tell Zero;”Captain, it is I, Ensign Pulver, and I just threw your stinkin’ palm tree overboard! Now what’s all this crud about no movie(open museums) tonight? “
One can only wish!

Put a name and face to the NPS BS. Jonathan Jarvis is the Director of the National Park Service. He is the administration toady ordering the Park Rangers to do all these things. Who told him to? Hmmm.

I used to live on the Cape and that popped immediately into my mind.

I can imagine the moonbats on the Cape Cod Commission hailing their hero if he shut down the bridges.

For the Piping Plovers' sake, for the dunes, for the single source aquifer - all hail!!

I was an endurance rider for over 25 years. I double damn guarantee you that permits were issued & PAID FOR by the ride managers of this event.

This wasn’t an outlaw event. Not in the least.

Many endurance rides are held on state & Federal land, since so many miles for trail are needed. Those permits are procured way in advance & are not cheap.

This is another example of Obama’s cavalier attitude about America.

It’s like time for put up or shut up. I keep reading how people here like to puff up and say “try to take my guns” or some such rhetoric. Now would be a good time to revolt against this Obozo’s national closures stupidity......

The Conservation Commission makes Zero look reasonable.

The New Orleans levy system, much of the Mississippi River navigation, and flood control all over are under the ACOE.

Yep! I'm comforted by the fact that Michelle Obama’s website is up and running...it's essential after all.

I agree. His targets for closure seem to have a pattern.
